I'm a big fan of Mike Flanagan's approach to horror and dark themes, and there's something inherently horrifying about most of the origins of Clayface.

The 'Feat of Clay' two-part from Batman the animated series is still hauntingly creepy and unsettling, managing to implement both addiction and body horror as plot points in a kids show in a way that feels disturbing even if you are watching as an adult. So a the pitch for a "standalone Clayface movie as a horror/thriller/tragedy" certainly sounds like it has potential. Really curious to see what comes out of this.

NEW #BTS IMAGES of actor #DavidCornswet in costume, on set for the upcoming #JamesGunn #Superman movie.

What do you think?

Personally, I like the brighter colors, and I hope the film studio doesn't darken them much. The collar-and-cape connection is interesting, as is the inlaid pattern.

The guy behind him surprised me, even though he looks...terrific.

/ 85 years ago today, on 18 April 1938, #Superman made his first appearance ever, in the very first issue of #ActionComics.

The next year, Superman got his own title.

At a recent auction, one of the surviving issues of Action Comics # 1 sold for more than $6 Million (USD).

Hey #Comicbooks fedi -

Made the mistake of visiting another social and gotta say - their #comics community is much livelier than ours has been lately.. we need to up our game!

So here's a challenge - post one for your favorite #Batman covers. Here's my all time fave.. I owned it as a kid and it gave me the jeebies!

...also taught me that #comicbook covers can and often do lie!

Let's get to rapping!

Dean #Cain says his #Superman would punch Captain #Marvel.

That may be so, but only because she lets him. It would have no effect on her; his punches are weaker than #Thanos's. Then she'd laugh at him because of his tiny, withered dick.

Then everyone else in both the #DCEU and the #MCU would beat his ass because Captain Marvel doing it would be too cruel even for misogynistic trash like him.

"What day is it, Piglet?" asked Pooh.

"It's #BatmanDay," said Piglet.

"My favorite day!" said Pooh.

As part of my #DCEU rewatch, I saw "The Suicide Squad" (2021) for the first time, and truly loved it. It fixed everything done wrong in the 2016 edition, and renewed my love of #JamesGunn.

Them: "The CGI in The Flash (2023) is some of the worst CGI I've ever seen put to film."

Me: "Ugh. They always say that shit. People always have to find something to complain about, and it's never as bad as they say."

Me: "Oh. Oh my gods. Why do the babies look like dolls that have been left out in the sun to melt? And that dog! What's wrong with its FACE!? It looks like Milo from The Mask, while he was wearing the mask! Why does Batman look like he's wearing Jay Leno's chin with black marker used to mark his beard stubble? Holy fucking shit."

Me: "I am sorry, and I stand corrected."

I realize I may be in a bit of a #comics fan bubble -- but is #Superman 's origin story really that much of a secret / mystery to movie-goers that doing a Supes movie without it (No Krypton! No Smallville!) is considered a "risky move"?

I think that's a fine #DCEU decision by #JamesGunn. Saves 20-40 minutes that can be used to develop *today*'s character.

When #TheFlash messes with the timeline (yet again!) and replaces #MichaelShannon with #TerranceStamp, the necklines just get lower and lower.

#Superman: "Barry, what's the lightning symbol on your chest stand for?"

#TheFlash: "It's not lighting...On my planet, it means f-ck the timeline."

"It takes real character to admit one's failures-- and not a little wisdom to take your profits from defeat. But remember, this man's world of yours will never be without pain and suffering until it learns love, and respect for human rights. Keep your hand extended to all in friendliness, but never holding the gun of persecution and intolerance."

"Don't kill if you can wound, don't wound if you can subdue, don't subdue if you can pacify, and don't raise your hand at all until you've first extended it."

"Let me reiterate this point: everyone across the board should be held accountable for their actions, especially when those actions violate and hurt others, and most definitely if they are criminal in nature."

I first fell in love with #ComicBooks after seeing #ChristopherReeve in #Superman II (yes, I'm that old!) and I've been reading them ever since.

So may I just say that I'm truly geeking out that #Aquaman is following me?
