DC did what?!
Alright, welcome back ladies and gentlemen.Â
This is Marvel's Corner!
Now first of all, I've started to realize that the first few lines of my post are visible to all. Instead of just typing random stuff, wouldn't it be better to actually state what today's blog is about?
I know. It sounds crazy, but it just might work.Â
... Except that by now all the lines will be taken up...
Alright, I'll try next time. Let's get on with today's blog. DC won't mock itself...
------------------------------------
Today's Topic: DC did what?!
Today's news deal with a DC money making machine called "Smallville."
What is Smallville?
Well, have you ever picked up a Superman comic and thought, "Dang. Superman's using his powers to fight supervillains... again? I sure wished I could see him when he was younger and didn't use his powers. That would be awesome."
Well, if you have thought the above, then Smallville's perfect for you. It's all the fun of a superhero story without a superhero. Instead, you fill that gap with teenaged angst such as acne, women, jobs, and more women. Also, the series must be grounded in reality... somehow....
Anyways, Smallville's been on a downward spiral since the begining, and now DC has resorted to a last desperate gamble.Â
A TV Movie.Â
Yes.Â

But what could the plot for such a movie be? What force could possible stand next to a young Superman?
Oh, I don't know... Maybe The Justice Society of America!

Yep. Almost as good as the JLA, with twice the cheesyness and half the calories. In the comics these guys came before the Justice League, but were shoved to another world when the current version of the heroes emerged.Â
To make things better (DC wise) the episode(s) will be written by none other than Geoff Johns.

In DC standards, this is their Abraham... Or Solomon. In Marvel terms, this is Steve Ditko without his hands.
However, nothing is ever perfect, specially DC. Let's look at how the realistic Smallville has decided to handle the JSA. So far Britt Irvin plays Stargirl, Michael Shanks plays Hawkman, and Brent Stait plays Dr. Fate.Â

In costume, they look like this:
Stargirl & Dr. Fate:

Wow.Â
Really?
Well, at least they're faithful to the comics...
Hawkman (Played by Michael Shanks)Â

Holy Bacon & Eggs! What is that! Is DC serious! They made Superman use a weird, but modern suit instead of his classic red & blue, but they have no problem with Hawkman going out like this?
Wow.Â
Anyways, here's the thrailer: The movie airs on Feb 5, 2010.Â
And finally, just to end with some good news, guess who else is in the JSA?

Oh yeah! Woo-Hoo!Â
*pounds on table*

Anyways, that's it for today. I'll post my Soap later. Until next time, this is Marvel Man, signing off.Â
Excelsior!Â
