Nightwing Vs. Sandman

 

I'm not sure what Flint Marko's status is these days, but I hope he has not reverted to his evil ways.  I always liked him as a reformed villain.  The issue of Marvel Two-In-One where this is dealt with as he shares a beer with Ben Grimm is a favorite of mine.  I am always happy to use the amazing artwork of Mike Zeck on this blog.  Here's a sketch I picked up years ago that he did for  the Batman: Ten Nights of The Beast TPB cover: 

Deathstroke Vs. Daredevil and Black Widow

It looks like a solo Black Widow film is finally going to happen.  Knowing Marvel, there will be other heroes that show up, and I am looking forward to hearing what other characters will fill out the cast.   Could this possibly be a chance to unite Marvel's cinematic world with its Netflix shows, and bring in Daredevil for a scene or two?  I'm sure that's a long shot but one can always hope.  I loved their comics together and would love to see their partnership represented on the big screen.

Robin and Kitty Pryde

When I first heard that DC was going to be giving their continuity a reboot, I thought that it would be the perfect chance to simplify the history of the multiple Robins.  Instead, it just made matters more complicated, keeping all the Robins around and condensing the timeline.  While I do like all the characters that have taken on the title, I still believe that so many Robins just serves to dilute the concept.  Now they have even thrown Carrie Kelley into the present day mix!  This is definitely a job for a time-travelling Kitty Pryde!

The Green Hornet and Nightwing

The Green Hornet film was an insult to the classic character, in my opinion.  I was worried that it would tarnish the property, but I am glad to see that in the comics, The Green Hornet is forging right ahead.  He has attracted some amazing talent and I think that the character on the printed page is looking better than ever.  Here's hoping that a live action reboot will take its cues from the comic books next time around.
