    Batgirl movie cancelled

    As far as the Spider-Man movies go, they were reboots if the actor changed. Marvel just retrofitted Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield into the MCU. The same mostly holds true for Batman as well although I think Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney maybe were all supposed to be the same...

    Which VTT do you use?

    I'm in the same boat, I have too much invested in FG to leave. Honestly though, I haven't been given a reason to leave, it works well for me and my players are all familiar with it.

    Batgirl movie cancelled

    From what I have read the B5 reboot was still in development as of a few months ago, but who knows. Superman & Lois and Stargirl aren't Arrowverse, which is odd for Superman and Lois since they are the same actors. From everything I have read both are still not cancelled but with the likely sale...

    Batgirl movie cancelled

    You know kids who read comics? If so, I don't doubt you but that's no longer the industry standard, assuming we are talking about traditional American monthly superhero comics like Marvel & DC. Webcomics, manga and YA stuff has a strong younger audience. If wasn't very clear about the...

    Streaming Services: Discussion and Power Rankings

    Netflix. I recently saw an interesting article about the future of Netflix. It was always considered by Wall Street to be a tech company but when compared to Apple, Google and Amazon, all of which have multiple tentacles, I mean services and products, Netflix only has one. It was never a tech...

    Batgirl movie cancelled

    The problem is, in part, comics just don't appeal to kids anymore. At least traditional comics, web comics do ok with the younger generation. I started reading them as a kid because they were easily accessible at grocery stores, drug stores and newsstands. I haven't seen a comic in either...

    Batgirl movie cancelled

    I get your point, but they haven't been 4-color kids books for years. Nor are they always all-ages anymore. For quite a long time the target audience for comics has been adults. Typically, adults who were fans as kids and never left the hobby, so we have ended up with an aging and shrinking (as...

    Batgirl movie cancelled

    None of that would surprise me but I find Giant Freaking Robot to be a dubious source at times.

    Not to derail the conversation, but compared to some of the alternatives, CNN isn't that bad. https://osf.io/jrw26/

    Batgirl movie cancelled

    Didn't AT&T dump HBO because of its debt? Didn't AT&T drive away long time HBO executives? (Neither of those are intended to be disagreeable, just an observation about corporations acting like corporations) Either way, in the age of always approved mergers to allow the creation of bigger and...

    Batgirl movie cancelled

    Is that supposed to be pro-Batgirl or anti-Morbius because if that's the comparison let Batgirl rot.

    Batgirl movie cancelled

    I think you are overestimating the importance of Batgirl. Sure, communities like this one (and only a portion of this board are probably comics geeks) are aware of what's going on but I doubt the average movie goer knows or cares. The only article I have read about how well it did with test...

    Which VTT do you use?

    The automation is what I really like about Fantasy Grounds. It makes rules heavy games like Pathfinder 1E so much easier to run.

    What Kind of VTT Do You Want

    Unobtrusive 2D. I don't want to play a video game.

    Which VTT do you use?

    I've thought about streaming music or sound effects during my game, I used to when I played around a table. My concern was that it would be distracting having both music and conversation coming through people's headset, whereas in person music it's just mood setting background noise. You find it...

    Which VTT do you use?

    When I moved 12 years ago I didn't want to stop playing with my regular Sunday group so I bought Fantasy Grounds (I think it may even have been the only option available) and have been using it ever since. I'm not as proficient with the new version, Unity, as the old but I'm learning. I haven't...

    Batgirl movie cancelled

    Partially that I think. Also because the actress is Dominican (maybe?) so it shut down a non-white superhero movie, it had Michaeel Keaton as Batman (still a popular move) and it really did seem to be a big part of AT&T/Warners plans to have the DCEU spread across cinematic releases and straight...
