Cartoon Network's DC Nation

In 2012 Cartoon Network (CN) will be running a new hour block called DC Nation. The two primary shows at launch for the block will be Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series (both of which are currently running on CN).

Along with these shows the hour block will be filled with shorts. These shorts appear to range from a revived Teen Titans (though in Chibi form) to Lego: Batman, from Plastic Man to a possible live action Blue Beetle and many more.

Check out the promo below.



Hitting the scene in 2013 will be the highly anticipated replacement for Batman: The Brave and The Bold, Beware the Batman.

Hopefully in coming months we will find out more about DC Nation and it's lineup, and we'll keep you posted as we do.

But in the meantime, anyone want to share their first thoughts on DC Nation?

Marvel vs DC Box Office Battle

Okay so this is really just a battle between Green Lantern and X-Men: First Class, it wouldn't be fair to DC to throw Marvel's Thor into the picture because then frankly it wouldn't be a battle but more like a slaughter.

So now that both DC's Green Lantern and Marvel's X-Men: First Class movies have had their official first week and the gross income's have been announced which one truly did do better?

I have overheard this argument several times already this week and most are standing tall that they grossed about the same so both movies are just as good and that people can stop bad mouthing one or the other for being terrible.

Of course Green Lantern has taken the bigger of the beatings in discussions all over the net for its lack of being a hit, so it's the many DC fans who are quick to jump at the gross income for Green Lantern being up their with X-Men: First Class.

But here's the problem with that...

Green Lantern was released in both 2D AND 3D; X-Men: First Class was only available in 2D.

Now just at my local theater a regular 2D movie is $9.50 while a 3D showing will cost me $13. So if you have all these people buying 3D tickets then of course it'll look like a lot of money has come in, the problem here is that it takes more people at 2D prices to make the same amount, so even if they grossed equivalent to each other more people have still seen X-Men: First Class.

To make this easier on some of you we'll do some quick math with the assumption that both movies made an even million dollars and we'll divide that buy the ticket price to get an approximate number of people.

Green Lantern (3D) ... 1 Million / 13 = 76923
X-Men: First Class ... 1 Million / 9.5 = 105263

Now in this example you can see that X-Men: First Class was seen by 28340 making it the movie to have the better opening.

Sorry DC fans but no matter how you do the math Marvel is going to win this one, it's just how it's gonna be.

But money aside, the question now is which one did you like better, X-Men: First Class or Green Lantern?

Green Lantern = Star Wars Meets...

Iron Man? The Lord of the Rings? WTF?!?

Okay so I haven't seen the new Green Lantern movie yet, but I find it insulting that with all the terrible reviews they are comparing it with actual blockbuster's that everyone enjoyed.

First I saw a TV ad that had a review of "Think Star Wars Meets Iron Man." (I can't seem to find the trailer online, otherwise there would be a screen shot of this)

Then I found this article on Daily Dischord that states "Think Star Wars Meets Lord Of The Rings."

Really?!? Should they really be insulting films with cult followings like this?

Now it could turn out that I actually like the Green Lantern movie, though we all know how I feel about DC characters. (If you don't know then Click Here)

So what do you guys think, are you happy with these comparisons? And better yet if you've seen Green Lantern what did you think of it?

Why No Love For DC?

So the other day a buddy of mine asked "Why no love for DC? You post a lot of $h!t about Marvel and Dark Horse, so what the F*#& dude." (Yes this is the direct quote.)

To be completely honest here, I admit it, I really don't care for 95% of DC's characters.

If you look at my collection of DC comics, they are either outright Batman issues or issues that guest star the caped crusader. I also have about a fourth of the 52 Countdown series and not much else.

The only other thing with a DC tag that I can say I kinda enjoyed was the TV show "Smallville" which didn't get my interest until season 7.

"But with DC rebooting most of their lines it'll get you to like them better than Marvel right?"

Ummmm...sorry, no.

Great DC is going to reboot, big deal, they're rebooting characters that I don't like, which means I have to put up with them being advertised more than I care for. And besides this reboot may turn out to bite them in the butt, only time will tell though.

I do still have hope for DC though, but that's only because I know Jim Lee is now a Co-Publisher and I enjoy his work.

For the record I don't only like Marvel comics; I also greatly enjoy Dark Horse, Vertigo, Image, and many small Japanese companies (whom seem to produce some of the best stuff).

Of course this is all about personal preference; I like Marvel over DC, my buddy was the opposite, and those that take the time to read this post will have their own opinions, and that's ok.

But for curiosity's sake, which company does produce your favorite comics?
