Fandom: DC Comics

Ships: Bart Allen/Kon El

Warnings: cosmic horror, mental illness on 9000, tasteful nudity that is not at all sexualized, area man becomes a god and has a hard time processing it despite having a hot babe of a boyfriend

Summary: After Bart’s realization about his part in the Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, he wonders if he can keep it together long enough to complete his end of the bargain with The Great Darkness and The Speed Force. It’s a bargain he doesn’t even remember making, but it’s the one keeping Kon safe. And maybe, it’ll help him find the rest of his friends and family too.

~~~

Title gently borrowed from Audioslave's Like a Stone.

To appreciate this story to its fullest, I recommend reading/rereading Zero Hour: Crisis in Time by Dan Jurgens. That, or at least look up what happened with Hal and Ollie. :'>

If you want a playlist running in the background as you read, I recommend playing Audioslave's Like a Stone, Goo Goo Dolls' Iris, and Red Hot Chili Peppers' Can't Stop on loop. :3

This is probably my MOST self-indulgent story in all of the DC Comics fanfiction I've written this past year and a half. I wish Bendis and Gleason got to finish their story for Bart and Kon, but alas, we carry on. Mayhaps in another reboot ten years down the line, they will finally kiss in canon. Until then, I will fill in the blanks :'>

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the shipweek! Don't forget to leave a review~ (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Flash #296.5: A Cold Day....

My sister's boyfriend and I get along quite well, and, as a result, he's read a lot of my Flash fanfics (at my request). This eventually led to him asking to read some of my Flash comics, which I subsequently loaned him. Then, for Christmas, he wrote me a Flash fanfic of his own, which I loved enough that I'm going to share it here with everyone.

Note that this story is based pretty heavily on Cary Bates' Bronze Age comics.

The story/comic script is below the cut.

TEASER PAGE  

Roscoe Dillon (The Top) stands behind Leonard Snart (Captain Cold) in a red prison  cell. Snart sits in the center of the room on a single metal chair, with his arms and  legs strapped down. An electronic glow, like that from a television screen, reflects on  the floor of the cell and on Snart’s face. Snart wears an orange prison jumper, while  Dillon wears a tattered version of his yellow-and-green striped Top jumper. The Top  laughs with arms akimbo while Snart looks off of the panel in terror. 

CAP/NARRATOR: 

Leonard Snart, alias Captain Cold, who wants nothing more then to put The Flash on  ice--Roscoe Dillon, The Top, whose efforts to use his gyroscopic powers for evil led to  his untimely demise. 

THE TOP: 

Welcome home forever, Captain! You arrived just in time for your turn in the hot seat! 

CAP/NARRATOR: 

But how could a heist gone wrong cause the King of Cryogenics to meet the  deceased Royal of Rotation?--And what torments has the treacherous Top been  planning since his untimely demise?--Captain Cold will find out, on “A COLD DAY...” 

Writer’s Note: This fan script is set just before Flash #297, in which Henry Allen is  briefly killed in a car accident and The Top possesses his body. I wanted to explore  what might have happened to Roscoe Dillon in his time as a disembodied spirit and  what led him to realize that he could repossess a dead corpse. This script only  attempts to stay true to lore contemporaneous with its numbering; it is likely at odds  with material published after Cary Bates’ run as author of The Flash. Spinning off from  a pun about “a Cold day in hell,” the rest of this script followed. Hope you enjoy! 

PAGE ONE (FIVE PANELS) 

Panel 1. The moon and stars shine down on a quiet street in downtown Central City.  The storefront of “Cary’s Pawn Shop” is visible on the left side of the street. An  armored car sits idling on the curb in front of the shop. 

CAP/NARRATOR: 

The nights in Central City always start peacefully-- 

Panel 2. The glass of the pawn shop window suddenly shatters outward with a red  wave of fiery energy. CAPTAIN COLD’s voice comes from within the pawn shop. 

SFX: 

CRASH!! 

CAP/NARRATOR: 

--but in a town where costumed crooks abound-- 

CAPTAIN COLD: (OP) 

C’mon Rory, I’ll load up the truck. Let’s blow outta here! 

Panel 3. Full shot of Captain Cold (Leonard Snart) and HEAT WAVE (Mick Rory) as  they step through the shattered pawn shop window in full costume. Heat Wave wields  his heat gun, from which a smoking residue rises. Captain Cold carries a sack of  stolen jewelry over his back. A burglar alarm begins to blare in the background. 

SFX: 

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! 

HEAT WAVE: 

Right behind ya Len! This burglar alarm will have him hot on our trail. 

CAP/NARRATOR: 

--they never end that way! 

PAGE ONE, CONTINUED 

Panel 4. A full side view of the armored car. Heat Wave sits in the driver’s seat and  turns suddenly to look at the sideview mirror. Captain Cold lugs the sack of loot from  his shoulder into the open rear hatch. 

HEAT WAVE: 

Looks like The Flash is racing up behind us! 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

Heh. Right on cue! 

Panel 5. Medium rear shot of Captain Cold as he sits in the back of the armored car.  We see the approaching red-and-yellow blur of THE FLASH racing up the street.  Captain Cold looks back over his shoulder to shout at Heat Wave in the driver’s seat. 

THE FLASH: (THOUGHT) 

What are Captain Cold and Heat Wave up to? Must be trying to bait me-- 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

Time to test your anti-Flash auto mods! Let’s burn rubber! 

PAGE TWO (FIVE PANELS) 

Panel 1. Rearview of the armored car from The Flash’s perspective. The car peels  out, and a huge burst of flame shoots from the exhaust and tire tracks. Captain Cold  smiles grimly from the open rear of the car. The Flash holds up his arms to protect his  face from the blaze. 

SFX: 

SKRRRRRRRT! 

Panel 2. Overhead view of the speeding armored car surrounded by a shield of fire,  followed closely by the Flash. Flames are left behind in the vehicle’s path. Captain  Cold’s voice comes from the rear hatch of the car. 

CAPTAIN COLD: (OP) 

Let’s see The Flash work his way through an ionic heat-shield! 

THE FLASH: (THOUGHT) 

I’ll have to dodge these flames faster than their heat can reach me! But how to get  through that flaming shield? 

Panel 3. In the driver’s seat of the armored car, medium shot of Heat Wave as he  turns the wheel into a sharp turn. The Flash is seen approaching in the sideview  mirror, dodging between the flaming tracks in the street. Captain Cold’s voice comes  from the rear of the car. 

HEAT WAVE: 

He’s running between the flames! I’ll try to shake him. 

SFX: 

SCREEECH 

CAPTAIN COLD: (OP) 

Chill out, I’m still back here! 

Panel 4. Close up on one of the tires of the armored car as it hits a tall bump in the  road. 

SFX: 

Ka-Thunk! 

Panel 5. Side view of the speeding armored car as it bucks from the road bump.  Captain Cold tumbles out of the open rear hatch, through the flame shield, and  toward the speeding Flash. Meanwhile, The Flash zig-zags at super speed through  the flaming tire tracks left in the car’s wake. 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

Argh! 

THE FLASH: (THOUGHT) 

The Captain fell out of the truck! A headbutt should do the trick-- 

PAGE THREE (FIVE PANELS) 

Panel 1. Close up shot of the scorched Captain Cold and The Flash’s faces, inches  away from each other before impacting at super-speed. Flames rise up around them. 

Panel 2. Captain Cold’s face crashes into The Flash’s head at impossible speed,  immediately rendering him unconscious. 

SFX: 

Crack! 

Panel 3. Full shot of Captain Cold lying crumpled in the street, surrounded by flames.  In the background, we see The Flash speeding after Heat Wave and the getaway car. 

THE FLASH: (THOUGHT) 

I’ll have to come back for CC, I’ve got bigger fish to fry! 

CAPTAIN COLD: (THOUGHT) 

All this fire around--but still--so cold-- 

Panel 4. All is black, except for Leonard Snart’s internal monologue. His thoughts  creep between multiple bubbles. 

CAPTAIN COLD: (THOUGHT) 

Oof, my head--What a hit!--Wait, where am I?--I’m not in the street, but all the same-- 

Panel 5. An overhead view of the interior of a red-scaled, two-story cell block within  Central City prison. Figures in tattered orange prison garb walk in a manacled line  down the hall. Wardens in red police uniforms stand guard with billy clubs. This is  how Leonard Snart’s mind comprehends the Astral Plane--the holding place for the  

Astral Bodies of deceased humans. 

CAP/CAPTAIN COLD: (THOUGHT) 

--it feels so familiar! 

PAGE FOUR (SIX PANELS) 

Panel 1. Full shot of Captain Cold as he sits up on a cot in a barred prison cell. He  wears an orange prison jumpsuit. THE TOP’s voice comes from the other side of the  prison bars, 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

Central City prison? I must have been out cold for a while! 

THE TOP: (OP) 

Nice guess, Captain. But as usual-- 

Panel 3. Full shot of Roscoe Dillon looking proudly through the cell bars. He wears a  tattered, torn version of his yellow-and-green striped costume. A large key ring  covered full of gold keys is attached to his waist. Snart looks up in shock. 

THE TOP: 

--you’ve spun a bit off the mark. 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

Roscoe Dillon?!* Impossible!! I went to your funeral! 

CAP 1: 

*Roscoe Dillon is--or was--the given name of the villainous Top! 

Panel 4. Medium shot of The Top with a smug expression as Snart grips the cell bars. 

THE TOP: 

Ah, yes. I watched that sad affair unfurl from here. 

PAGE FOUR, CONTINUED 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

So they’ve had you secretly locked up this whole time? 

THE TOP: 

If this were Central City prison-- 

Panel 5. The Top reaches his hands through the bars of Captain Cold’s cell--a red  warping surrounds his wrists as they emerge through the bars and take hold of  Snart’s waist. 

THE TOP: 

--could I-- 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

What the--!? 

Panel 6. Roscoe pulls Captain Cold through the bars of the cell into the open hall of  the cell block. The same warping effect surrounds Snart’s body as he reaches the  halfway point through the bars and then is freed.

THE TOP: 

--do this? 

PAGE FIVE (FIVE PANELS) 

Panel 1. Full shot of Captain Cold and The Top walking down the cell block hallway.  The Top leads the way as Snart looks down at his rematerialized body. 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

C’mon, we’ve seen Mirror Master pull better stunts than that--right? 

THE TOP: 

If I were Scudder* in disguise, would I be modest enough to resist gloating? 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

Hmph. 

CAP 1: 

*Sam Scudder, alias the notoriously narcissistic Mirror Master! 

Panel 2. Zoomed out shot of Captain Cold and The Top as they walk down the cell  block hall. A variety of thugs and criminals occupy cells behind them while a guard  stands at attention. 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

So if we ain’t in a dream or a mirage, where are we? 

THE TOP: 

I call it The Penitentiary. 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

Like a jail? But for who? 

Panel 3. Medium shot of The Top and Captain Cold as they stop in front of a hallway  blocked off by bars with a prominent lock. The Top whirs through his large keyring at  impossible speed and, after finding the right key, inserts it into the lock. 

SFX: 

Chink! 

PAGE FIVE, CONTINUED 

Panel 4. Close up shot of the space just above the barred hallway door. The top of the  barred door slides to the side just in view at the bottom of the frame. Above the door  are words carved into stone: “The Rogue Block”. 

SFX: 

Whoooosh 

THE TOP: (OP) 

You’ll soon see! 

Panel 5. Full shot of the Top and Captain Cold as they stand in the center of a circular  prison room with eight barred cell doors. The Top spreads his arms almost gleefully. 

THE TOP: 

Welcome to The Rogue Block! The eternal holding cells for our little Gallery. 

CAPTAIN COLD: (THOUGHT) 

Each of these cells has a Rogue’s name on it--Trickster, Captain Boomerang, Mirror  Master, Weather Wizard, Heat Wave--even me! 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

What oddball tricks have you spun up down here?

PAGE SIX (SEVEN PANELS) 

Panel 1. Close up of The Top’s face as he smiles devilishly, eyes gleaming through  his black, top-shaped eye masks. 

THE TOP: 

From what I can tell, every person who dies comes to this Next World.  

Panel 2. A warbled panel frame indicates a memory, ibid for Panels 3-6 on this page.  The Top lies dead in a forest clearing, as seen in The Flash #243. The Top rises in  ethereal form over his body, still wearing his traditional costume. 

CAP/THE TOP:  

After my untimely demise, which ended in a flurry of rage and vengeance-- 

Panel 3. Wide shot of The Top waking up in a prison cot in a red cell in the Astral  Plane. He now wears the orange jumpsuit of a prisoner. 

CAP/THE TOP: 

--I found myself here, amongst the spirits of thousands of other crooks. 

Panel 4. Medium shot of The Top with his head against the bars of his cell, knuckles  white from clenching the bars. 

CAP/THE TOP:  

As I spent months pacing, my anger rose. I was furious at that scarlet speed demon  for destroying my beautiful mind. But I was even more furious that you Rogues could  plunder Central City while I was trapped here. 

Panel 5. A wide frame with a montage of events on Earth. From left to right: Captain  Cold, THE TRICKSTER, and the WEATHER WIZARD play cards; LISA SNART weeps  as she sharpens an ice skate on a grindstone; Barry Allen hangs up his hat as he  kisses his wife IRIS after a day of work. In each of these scenes, The Top’s ethereal  bust watches, unseen, in dismay. 

PAGE SIX, CONTINUED 

CAP/THE TOP: 

I can still see Earth, Snart. I’ve watched you carousing--my darling Lisa mourning-- that wretched Flash, coming home to a happy wife. It all became too much. 

Panel 6. Full shot of The Top as he warps open the bars of his cell and steps through  them. He is surprised by this new power. The warping effect on the bent bars  resembles that seen when Captain Cold was pressed through the bars.  

CAP/THE TOP: 

Around that same time, I realized that my superhuman mind had retained some  power here--if I exerted enough mental energy, I could mold the substance of this  place. 

Panel 7. Full rear view of The Top as he stands in front of what once was an empty  wall. With arms raised, he begins to force a new hallway to progressively appear  where there had formally been blank space. 

CAP/THE TOP: 

So I hatched an idea. Why not prepare punishments for those two-bit Rogues who  thought they could get all of the loot with less competition? We’ll all come here  someday, right? 

PAGE SEVEN (FIVE PANELS) 

Panel 1. Close up of The Top’s eyes gleaming with madness behind his mask. 

THE TOP: 

And now, Captain Cold, you’ll be the first to see my triumphs here. I’m back on top! 

Panel 2. Medium shot of Captain Cold as he rushes toward The Top in an effort to  body slam him to the ground. The Top slips out of the way just in time. 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

You’ve lost it! Give me those keys, I want out of this circus! 

Panel 3. The Top turns behind Captain Cold and begins to spin a rain of rotating  punches into his back at super speed. Captain Cold is thrown forward. 

SFX: 

Thwak Thwak Thwak Thwak Thwak Thwak 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

Ugh! 

Panel 4. Front view of Captain Cold as he lies flat on the ground, weakened by The  Top’s vicious blows. The Top’s green-and-yellow-clad feet are visible standing beside  him. 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

Erg, that smarts. 

THE TOP: 

Let’s continue our tour. Since you mentioned the circus, let’s start off with our friend-- 

Panel 5. Wide shot of a cell with its door hanging open. Inside the cell is what  appears to be a long dark hallway with a single thin rope extending out into the  darkness. Above the cell, words in stone read “James Jesse.” Rear shot of The Top,  arms akimbo, and Captain Cold lying on the ground. 

PAGE SEVEN, CONTINUED 

THE TOP: 

--The Trickster! 

PAGE EIGHT (SIX PANELS) 

Panel 1. Full shot of Captain Cold crouching on a high wire rope, dozens of feet above  the ground in a big top. A tiny crowd and circus ring below are red-scaled. The Top’s  lower half gyrates at super speed while he floats alongside Captain Cold. His upper  half retains human form as he gloats. All of the panels on this page are, like the rest  of the astral plane, depicted in red-scale. 

CAPTAIN COLD; 

How did we get here? Get me off this thing! 

THE TOP: 

The Trickster’s greatest fear was always falling--why else would he spend decades  inventing floating shoes? So, I figured 100,000 miles of barefoot tightrope-ing would  keep him occupied! 

Panel 2. Captain Cold slips and tumbles off the tightrope. As he hurdles head-first  toward the ground, the Top floats beside him right-side up. 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

Argh!!!! 

THE TOP: 

Although I do wonder--is he more afraid of hitting the ground, or of the jeers of the  crowd? Let’s see another spot. 

Panel 3. Captain Cold and The Top suddenly sit next to each other in an opera box.  Captain Cold looks about him rapidly. A full orchestra plays a song below them. A  handful of other guests seated in the opera box with them wear formal dress and  watch the show. There is no noise in this room other than Captain Cold and The  Top’s voices. 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

Where are we now? Why can’t I hear anything? 

THE TOP: 

This is our friend The Pied Piper’s cell. Isn’t it wonderful--all of that dreadful racket he  loves doesn’t make a peep in here! 

PAGE EIGHT, CONTINUED 

Panel 4. Medium shot of a GENTLEMAN, Captain Cold, and the Top sitting side-by side in the opera box. Captain Cold shakes the Gentleman’s shoulder to get his  attention. The Gentleman looks down toward the orchestra and pays no mind to  Captain Cold. 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

Hey pal, you’ve got to help me. The man next to me is crazy! 

THE TOP: 

Nobody hears a word you say when you’re trapped in here, Snart. The Piper loved  making people dance to his tune--but once he’s here, not a soul will listen to a word  he says again! 

Panel 5. Full overhead view of Captain Cold, who suddenly is sitting on a stool in a  different room. The Top stands beside him. The angle of the view keeps the walls of  the room out of frame. 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

What the--Wait, this room is empty! 

THE TOP: 

The Mirror Master’s Hall of Reflection may look like a room of empty mirrors-- 

Panel 6. Medium rearview shot of The Top standing beside the seated Captain Cold.  In the mirror straight ahead, Captain Cold sees a reflected memory of himself being  shot by a misfire of Heat Wave’s heat gun while The Flash punches him unconscious  (see The Flash #166). The walls of the small room they are in are all made of mirrors  which reflect the same image. 

THE TOP: 

--but in fact, they will reflect back all of his memories of The Flash outwitting him! He’ll  never get to admire his own pretty face again, and his ego will be crushed. I simply  can’t wait! 

THE FLASH: (MIRROR MEMORY) 

That knocks the Captain--Cold! 

PAGE NINE (SIX PANELS) 

Panel 1. Full shot of The Top and Captain Cold standing in the center of a circle of two dimensional target dummies shaped like Central City policemen . A rack of  boomerangs sits next to Captain Cold. Cold has just thrown a boomerang at a  dummy, which harmlessly clunks off of its head and falls to the floor. All of the settings  in panels 1 to 3 of this page are red-scaled like the rest of the Astral Plane. 

CAP/THE TOP: 

Let’s spin up the pace of this tour! Here’s our friend Digger’s* new digs-- 

SFX: 

Clunk 

THE TOP: 

Infinite target practice with ‘rangs that don’t come back ‘round! 

CAP 2: 

*Digger Harkness, alias Captain Boomerang! 

Panel 2. Full shot of Captain Cold and The Top standing in a small crowd in front of a  podium. CLYDE MARDON receives a trophy from an ACADEMIC at the podium.  

CAP/THE TOP: 

--and the Weather Wizard’s “storm cell”-- 

ACADEMIC: 

And the Central City prize for philanthropy in the sciences goes to--Clyde Mardon! 

THE TOP: 

A parallel world where his brother Clyde lived--and got all of the kudos for inventing  the weather stick! 

Panel 3. Full shot of Captain Cold and The Top standing in an industrial freezer.  Captain Cold shivers violently, but The Top is unaffected. 

CAP/THE TOP: 

--and your hot-and-cold chum Heat Wave! 

PAGE NINE, CONTINUED 

THE TOP: 

Locked in a freezer with no thermostat! 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

This is cold even for my taste! 

Panel 4. Full shot of The Top and Captain Cold once again standing in the center of  the Rogues’ Block, surrounded by the dark cells.  

THE TOP: 

So, what do you think of my new Gallery, Snart? I think gathering you all here will make  up for the time I lost! 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

What you’ve lost is your senses! Why go through all of this? 

Panel 5. Medium shot of The Top, who spins a small toy top in his hand, and Captain  Cold beside him. 

THE TOP: 

Did I ever tell you why I like Tops? You were one of few who never questioned my  interest. 

Panel 6. Close up shot of the toy top whirring in The Top’s hand. 

CAPTAIN COLD: (OP) 

If the job gets done, I don’t ask questions. I mean, Digger likes boomerangs. 

PAGE TEN (SIX PANELS) 

Panel 1. A memory from The Top’s childhood. Medium shot of BOY ROSCOE  DILLON, who lies on the floor in front of a spinning dreidel during a Hanukkah  celebration. A lit menorah sits prominently on the table behind him. 

CAP/THE TOP: 

When I was young, I loved tops because they were predictable. When you spin a top, it  shows you the same faces and colors over and over again. What’s more, it can only  spin in one of two directions--directions I could choose! 

Panel 2. Cut to a more recent memory from The Top’s adult life. He lies on a prison  cell cot in an orange “Central City Prison” jumpsuit. He spins a whittled toy top on the  floor in front of him. The ground is littered with tops of various sizes. His posture  mirrors that of the previous panel. 

CAP/THE TOP: 

I used to dream of a top that would never stop spinning. It would never change the  schedule of my day. It would never turn a corner and force me into an unplanned  conversation. It would never lock me in prison and change my plans. 

Panel 3. Return to the present, with a wide view of the red-scaled cell blocks of the  Astral Plane. A manacled line of prisoners walks by rows of cells. In the foreground, a  guard brandishes with his club. 

CAP/THE TOP: 

Don’t you see it, Snart? The way that time goes on here without the interruption of  days--the way that I can shape every inch to realize my vision-- 

Panel 4. The Top and Captain Cold again stand in the center of the Rogue block. Full  shot of the room, where snippets of the six punishment cells can be seen behind  their bars. 

THE TOP:  This place is my infinite, perfectly predictable top!

PAGE TEN, CONTINUED 

Panel 5. Medium shot of The Top, who clutches Captain Cold by the collar of his  prison jumper and holds him within inches of his face. 

THE TOP: 

But you’ve distracted me. You must’ve noticed there’s one cell we haven’t visited yet. 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

You don’t have to do this Dillon! Maybe we can work out a deal. 

Panel 6. Front medium shot as The Top leads Captain Cold toward an unseen cell  with his arm around the Captain’s shoulder. The Top points straight ahead with one  hand. Captain Cold’s expression is sarcastic, but his face is tight with fear. 

THE TOP: 

Yeah, yeah--there’s no loot to barter down here, old ally. Besides, don’t you like what I  have planned for you? 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

Oh great-- 

PAGE ELEVEN (SEVEN PANELS) 

Panel 1. Full shot of The Top and Captain Cold from within the cell. Inside, there is a  heavy metal chair bolted to the floor with untied leather restraints. The wall is covered  in a dozen television screens which glow with variegated images. 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

--I was thinking I would miss T.V. down here. 

THE TOP: 

Welcome home, Captain! 

Panel 2. Medium shot of The Top dragging Captain Cold into the room by one arm,  toward the chair. 

THE TOP: 

The screens in this room are tuned to the earth frequencies of each member of our  Rogues’ gallery. You’ll also notice that some screens show the interiors of their cells  here in the Rogue Block. 

Panel 3. Close up of one of the television screens, which shows a simultaneous  scene from Earth. The Flash hands over a handcuffed Heat Wave to a police officer.  The burnt-out remains of the armored getaway car stand behind them. Flash’s voice  comes from the TV. 

THE TOP: (OP) 

See, it looks like your pal Heat Wave has caught some heat! 

THE FLASH: (TV STATIC) 

That takes care of Heat Wave! Now to find Captain Cold. 

Panel 4. Medium shot of The Top as he forces Captain Cold down into the metal chair  and snaps one of the leather straps shut around his wrist. 

SFX: 

Click!

PAGE ELEVEN, CONTINUED 

THE TOP: 

You always pegged yourself as a planner, Snart. You loved to plot heists and make  bargains. Now, you’ll have a front-row seat to watch our fellow Rogues fall apart. 

Panel 5. Close-up shot of The Top snapping the strap shut on Captain Cold’s other  wrist. 

THE TOP: (OP) 

First you’ll see their earthly passing--which will come one day, no matter how lucky  they get. 

Panel 6. Full shot of Captain Cold strapped to the chair. He strains against the  restraints to no avail. 

THE TOP: (OP) 

Then, you’ll watch them here, living out their fears forever! 

Panel 7. Close up of The Top’s face as his expression changes to fear. 

THE TOP: 

Wait--what’s happening!? 

PAGE TWELVE (SEVEN PANELS) 

Panel 1. Same shot as Page Eleven, Panel 6, except that Captain Cold has begun to  fade into a translucent astral shade. He smiles. The restraints around his arms and  legs go limp. 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

Looks like you jumped the gun, Dillon. I can feel it--my body--I’m waking up! 

THE TOP: 

What do you mean waking up!? You’re dead! 

Panel 2. Full shot of Captain Cold’s astral form floating above the chair. 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

Keep the seat warm for me until I come back! 

THE TOP: (OP) 

No! It’s impossible! 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

Impossible, Dillon? Or unpredictable? 

Panel 3. Back on Earth. Overhead full view of an ambulance, sirens blaring and lights  flashing, as it races down a dark Central City street. A doctor’s voice rises from within  the ambulance. 

CAP/NARRATOR: 

Meanwhile, as a prison ambulance speeds to Central City hospital. 

SFX: 

Wee-Woo! Wee-Woo! Wee-Woo! 

DOCTOR: (OP) 

You’ve done it!--

PAGE TWELVE, CONTINUED 

Panel 4. Interior of the ambulance. Captain Cold lies on a stretcher in a neck brace as  his eyes come open. A Doctor stands beside him with a hand on his wrist. The Flash  lays his hands on Captain Cold’s chest. 

DOCTOR: 

--Your superspeed CPR has restarted his heart! 

THE FLASH: 

Thank goodness! I’m so sorry Captain--I got carried away in that car chase and forgot  my strength. 

Panel 5. Close up of Captain Cold on the stretcher. He smiles despite the pain in his  broken neck. 

CAPTAIN COLD: 

Don’t mention it. Say, this ambulance isn’t going to Central City prison by chance? I’d  love to go somewhere familiar. 

Panel 6. Back in the astral plane. The Top sits cross-legged on the floor in the center  of his empty Rogue Block. A toy top spins on the ground in front of him. 

THE TOP: (THOUGHT) 

How had I never thought of it? It would only take an empty corpse for me to return to  earth like Snart. 

Panel 7. Close up on the toy top, which has stopped spinning and lies still on its side. 

THE TOP: 

The only question is--whose corpse? 

THE END. 

[romancomicsblog]

Who should play Omni-Man in a live action Invincible?

Whether you are an avid watcher of Invincible or not, at this point you probably know the character of Omni-Man through the zeitgeist, merchandise, or memes.

Since JK Simmons interpretation of the character, Omni-Man has sky rocketed into popularity. The incredible villain was a major part of Invincible's success, giving us a very violent, angry and conflicted performance from Simmons.

Given there will be a live action film, currently in the works from Allen the Alien actor Seth Rogen, I thought I'd throw some names in the mix who I think could be potentially great Omni-Men.

Warning: This will contain spoilers from Seasons 1 & 2 of Invincible so be warned!

Who can't be Omni-Man?

Before we get started into who could, I am gonna limit myself a bit. Let's start with the obvious, JK Simmons is too old. He's fantastic, and I love his version, but he can't be Nolan. Might I suggest Conquest, Art, or best of all, Cecil?

I also have no intention of picking actors who have played Superman. So Henry Cavill, Brandon Routh, etc, no dice.

Also in general, I'm gonna try to avoid actors who already have an iconic performance as a superhero character. So actors like Hugh Jackman, Ben Affleck and others won't be on this list either.

And finally, I've seen the fancasts of both Jon Hamm and Nick Offerman. Frankly I like both. But I think we can do better.

What are Nolan Grayson's Physical Characteristics?

Omni-Man needs to feel like the most dangerous man in the room AND the world's greatest hero. It's a very delicate balance to pull.

I'd prefer someone over 6 ft tall, with a background in both heroic and menacing roles.

Nolan is a viltrumite, meaning he could be any race or ethnicity.

If he can rock a mustache, even better.

I'm looking for an actor in their late 30s to early 50s. We have a little room to work with as his age is slower, but someone in their 40s is most preferable.

Let's get into it.

3. Colin Farrell

Starting off our list is the original Bullseye himself Colin Farrell. Though he is a little bit shorter than I would like at 5'10, Farrell brings experience, skill and likeability to Nolan, which is very necessary if we want to portray him as a good guy.

What really sold me on him is actually Saving Mr Banks, where he plays a sympathetic, problematic father who truly loves his children. That sympathy can go a long way for Omni-Man.

Where he doesn't sell me is the ruthlessness of Nolan, nor does he feel like he can be a very threatening villain. He did play a fun one, namely the Penguin in The Batman.

Really my main concern is The Penguin, as he is returning for his show and likely The Batman Part II. I'd prefer someone not as known for wearing the costume of such an iconic character.

2. Joel Edgerton

I feel like everyone forgets about good ol reliable Joel Edgerton.

If we want a villain with brutality, Edgerton can bring it. He can rock a mustache, he's played multiple convincing villains and could really make the role his own. He's held his own against power houses like DiCaprio and Maguire in Gatsby.

He's even played a few good guys, namely Uncle Owen in Obi-Won Kenobi.

The great thing about Edgerton is he falls so deep in the role, people forget it's him. It may be good to have an actor smaller than the role he's playing, but with a skill to match Simmons.

My main concern is very simple, he's 5'10". I'm sure we can make him seem bigger, but other than, he seems evil, untrustworthy. He often plays characters who are darker or troubled. Can he play 100% heroic? Or atleast faking heroic?

I think he'd do a fantastic job, but there's one more guy I'm itching to see put on the red and white.

1. Joel Kinnaman

Takeshi Kovacs. Rick Flag. Alex Murphy.

Joel Kinnaman is one of my favorite actors working today.

I think Kinnaman has both the intensity and heroic nature to be a perfect Nolan. At 44, he is in the perfect age range we want. He is 6'2", and while I admit he is leaner than I would like, bulking up to play Nolan I think is very possible.

He's got a great voice, can rock a mustache, play a convincing father, and has never truly donned a cape. He'd make a fantastic villain in a movie, and an even better hero once he joins the Coalition of Planets.

I think he'd add a different enough performance while being able to stand up to a great actor like Simmons. Joel Kinnaman is my ideal Omni-Man.

Thank you so much for reading! Please consider following, and check out my socials and other sites here! And let me know: Who do you want to see play Omni-Man in a live action Invincible?

Part 13 if dc x pokemon: Barry Allen (Retired Flash)

Barry's public pokemon and companion pokemon. Now that he's retired from being the Flash, most of his vigilante pokemon have retired. Some now spend a lot of time at the Garrick's rural home in Nebraska outside Keystone City, some have become open companion pokemon, and some have joined Wally's teams.

As a meta with a more suburban normal background, Barry has much fewer pokemon.

Beep: Barry's Rotom. Used for both CSI work and helped him as a vigilante.

Sniffers: Dachsbun (Shared with Iris West-Allen)

Merton: (Meta) Drednaw that was presented to Barry by Bruce after a case. Now enjoys the quiet life with Barry, Iris, Don, and Dawn after acting as an active "Super-Mon" for a while.

Buddy: Barry's primary partner pokemon. This meta Raichu has been with Barry since the day his mother was murdered by Thawne, who framed his father for the crime (Was a Pichu at the time). Like fate, the pair were both in the accident that gave Barry his powers together, giving this Raichu much greater speed and psychic typing like its Alolan/Hawaiian cousins. The father of all the West and West-Allen Flashfamily pichu lines.

Dasha: Rapidash that now runs around the Garrick lands outside Keystone. Visited by Barry often.

Wuzzy: Furret companion pokemon.

Squishy: Accelgor. Now lives on Garrick lands. Visited by Barry often.

Dandy: Nora Allen's Jumpluff. The only witness to her murder, but that the time the police had no skilled psychic pokemon to take his statement until after Henry Allen died in prison. It was a huge scandal.

Partner: Henry Allen's Arcanine (I'm fairly sure he was a beat cop in current continuity. Correct me if I'm wrong!) Refused to leave Barry's side as his father was arrested. When he started st the CCPD as CSI, the cops were wary of Henry Allen's partner working with them again at first. Sniffs out corrupt cops.

Slowpoke: Companion (chosen for my own amusement). Reminded Barry to slow down when he still has his powers.

Miraidon: Sought Barry out from the future. Combines with Beep, creating a cloaking field to appear like a cyclizar. Barry's mount now that he has no powers of his own.

[the-black-bulls]

hear me out- luck x langris. (honorable mention for polyam luckxlangrisxmagna). I read a fic once with these pairings and I gotta say, im a little obsessed

send in ships to get these classifications

oooh, I remember reading the fic you're talking about.

for me both ships are a fun one-time thing, neither make sense to me nor do they compel me because langris feels so out of nowhere with these two 😅

I think I prefer the idea of luck/langris more with a good context, but not by a lot, since luck is a character I have a hard time shipping with anyone - even manga.

now if this is an au where langris is a black bull... I'm in.

I know I said dark triad but it's %80 dante lmao

vanica/megicula:

does it make sense... it does, in the most tragic and horrofic way

does it compel me... megi literally turned vanica into a crispy burnt breed anon, I think you're understimating how obsessed I can be with dark comedy.

zenon/allen:

does it make sense... obviously!

does it compel me... not sure, it's the background sorta ship, it is there and I aknowledge it but I don't really care about it

when you said CRACK SHIPS, you really meant it anon lol

make sense, doesn't compel me:

vanessa/nero: this is a bit complicated because I headcanon these two to outlive everyone and live the rest of their lives together, but shipping-shipping wise I don't really see it.

charmy/noelle: ah, finally a real challenge to my charmy harem agenda... noelle would always be eager to be spoiled by charmy and snuggle with her (who doesn't?!) but that's only cuz noelle is the Little Sister, surely she may get charmed by charmy (and how can you blame her?) but I'm perfectly comfortable in my Lil' Sister Noelle corner :)

neutral:

henry/gauche: I mean, not something I'd ship personally but I'm curious how it'd play out, y'know, since henry straight up went to throw his life away for gauche's sake.

elf fana/leo: no thoughts head empty I'm neutral (hold up can fana get salamander back as a wedding gift? cause this maaaaaaay add points for this ship to me)

[thestobingirlie]

I thought it made sense to include Eddie's parents though (and uncle too probably?) because they made Wayne say he knows the Creel family's murders. So I think it made sense to include the Munsons in the play (plus, you know, cash cow and shit). What doesn't make sense is... why not include Robin and Steve's parents too? Even just as background characters like the rest of the background cast? It's not like we gonna see them that much either, most of the characters aside from Joyce, Jim, Bob, Henry and Patty will appear as background characters. So why not include Harrington and Buckleys as well?

i don’t actually think they have wayne in it, just allen munson. though, i scrolled quickly through the list, so i could just be totally blanking lmao.

but yeah! literally every single other parent is involved. why not the harrington’s or the buckley’s?

someone else made the valid point that the harrington’s/buckley’s could just come from outside hawkins, and i do see that. but i think that’s more just us as an audience trying to make sense of the duffers writing, as opposed to the duffers actually thinking about it lmao.

i also don’t think it totally makes sense for the harrington’s to move to hawkins with no history there, only for steve’s dad to have to continue to work outside of town. why move there in the first place? i do hc that they moved back to town, but i think that was more a consequence of mr. h’s cheating/sickly parents, as opposed to just a random move.

anyway! yeah, it’s dumb. they’re making the play to get money, they’ve involved eddie’s dad for attention, but they don’t think of involving stobin’s parents? fan favourite characters! it just doesn’t make sense

August 15th 1963 saw the last hanging in Scotland - 21-year-old Henry Burnett who was executed at Craiginches Prison in Aberdeen for the murder of seaman Thomas Guyan.

Thomas Guyan had married Margaret May on the 2nd of February 1957 and a year later they moved into a first floor flat at 14 Jackson Terrace, Aberdeen, in a house owned by Margaret’s grandmother, Annie Henderson.  Margaret gave birth to a son in September 1958 followed by a second one in February, 1961.  However the second son was not fathered by Thomas who, although he knew this, would not divorce her.  Thomas was often away for lengthy periods at sea. Burnett  met Margaret Guyan, when they were working at John R Stephen Fish Curers in Aberdeen. Margaret Guyan later went to live with him at his home in the city’s Skene Terrace.

Burnett kept her locked in the house and on one of the rare occasions she was allowed out alone, she met her estranged husband Thomas Guyan, and agreed to go back to him.

When she refused to return to Burnett, he stole a shotgun from his brother’s house, went to Guyan’s flat at 14 Jackson Terrace in Aberdeen and knocked on the door.  When Guyan opened it Burnett shot him in the face at close range.   He then dragged Margaret out of the flat at gunpoint and hijacked a car at a petrol station but was captured at Ellon near Peterhead within the hour as two PC’s.had followed the vehicle. He offered no resistance to the officers. During the journey he had proposed marriage to Margaret and she had accepted!

During the trial, the solicitor-general spoke of the ‘sordid background of a sailor’s wife being unfaithful to her husband when he was at sea.’ Burnett entered a plea of insanity but the jury took just 25 minutes to bring back a guilty verdict.   A few days before the execution Burnett wrote to Margaret saying: “Well, my darling, you will be wondering why I did not kill you up in Skene Terrace.  “Well, it was because I loved you. I could easily have done it if I had wanted to but what they were saying in court was a heap of rubbish about me being insane even at the time. I knew exactly what I was doing.”

Margaret was allowed to spend half an hour with Burnett on the day before the hanging.  She would stand by Burnett till the end and later claimed: “My heart is with Harry (as she called him). People can talk but I still love Harry.”

Harry Allen was the hangman, assisted by Samuel Plant. Allen hanged the notorious serial killer Peter Manuel in 1958 at Barlinnie.

A crowd of some 200 people had gathered outside the prison. HMP Aberdeen as Craiginches is now known, closed in January 2014 and Burnett’s body has now been re-interred elsewhere

A Short Review of Oppenheimer (2023)

Why would you want to make a film about Richard Nixon?

Oliver Stone did that in 1995, with Anthony Hopkins starring as Nixon. Hopkins’ portrayal of the President is one of a chronically paranoid, insecure man who is in charge with heavily charged international matters. He barely seems to comprehend what he’s doing.

And surrounding him are the other characters of 1950s/60s America who were key to geopolitics at the time. They’re also played by terrific actors; such as Paul Sorvino, Ed Harris, James Woods, Joan Allen and Bob Hoskins, among others. They play the parts very well. Especially with Paul Sorvino as Henry Kissinger – who was a great geopolitical villain and pantomime-like character in real life.

There was no need for Oliver Stone to glamorise the plot in Nixon (1995) because the events occurred in reality. But, what Stone did need to do was make the story a piece of art. As opposed to a documentary.

Well, for one thing, it had to be long. So it finally churned out around three hours in length. In order for it not to be tedious, Stone spliced up the time periods. It couldn’t be a long, linear epic – so he mixed up what happened into short, frenzied scenes with bursts of action. Often using black and white for historical parts and colour for modern; and yet, with present-day scenes featuring Nixon as an older, finished, defeated man.

This mix of content is dense and spanning. But it never gets dull. And it is essentially the portrait of one man. The movie is asking questions about this single person, against a background of mayhem of which he is directly integrated.

I thought the exact same way about Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer (2023): and have rarely seen a pair of films which I found quite so alike.

We have a brilliant lead actor in Cillian Murphy. Who is constantly fraught and uncertain with his plans, which have worldwide consequences. And all around him are these other people who are equally as compulsive in their disastrous ambitions. [And they’re also played by a star studded cast, of Robert Downey Jr, Matt Damon, Florence Pugh, Kenneth Branagh, Gary Oldman, etc etc.)

The movie lasts 3 hours. It switches throughout its tenure with an array of time periods and the scenes are short and alarming and the tension never quite ceases. Many of the scenes are shot in different tonalities and this adds to the overall sense of nightmarish delusion.

Why would anybody want to make a blockbuster film about the men (or man) who invented the atomic bomb? If we were to watch Grave of the Fireflies (1988) would that not be enough to make up one’s moral notion of what happened?

What I believe Oppenheimer has triumphed with in being a blockbuster is by making entertainment ambiguous. Which is difficult to do in a mass sense: make a popular movie questionable. There is no doubt that it’s a great film. Many ‘big’ movies come out each year which are only intended for gluttony or indulgence.

However. And, just as a parting thought: is Oppenheimer as disturbing as Grave of the Fireflies? Or Nixon, for that matter?

Of course it’s important to inform people about the past. Just as it is with current affairs.

There are films like Downfall (2004) and lofty television shows like Band of Brothers (2001) which are both historical accounts, and yet have completely different attitudes or modes of expression. Both were about World War II, yes, but, they show very alternative depictions of the conflict.

In Nixon, about 90 minutes into the flick, there is a terrific moment of cinema. Whereby we’re introduced to Nixon’s 1968 inauguration speech – and we see Anthony Hopkins by his podium: just as he’s about to start speaking. But the camera is below the podium. And we can only see his edgy, distressed face. He does not look like a man who is happy at just winning the Presidency of the United States. It’s a fantastic feat, sure. Except he’s in total terror about what to do with his position, or where it will lead.

The camera then spans up and the light and colour changes and Hopkins then smiles and waves to the crowd and the folks applaud and cheer for him.

Quite similar (if you agree?) to the scene in Oppenheimer where he making a speech to the filled auditorium just after the bombs have been dropped in Japan; and he inwardly imagines the explosions going off in his very vicinity, and what they would do to the bodies in the audience.

Agent Dean Winchester is a legacy and after busting his ass at the FBI’s Kansas City field office for five years, he has finally moved onto the big leagues in DC, handpicked to partner with the enigmatic Agent Castiel Novak who is in charge of the Supernatural Files, also known as the S-Files. Castiel is determined that the supernatural exists and will defy everything and everyone to prove it, especially when it comes to unravelling the mysteries of his own past. Dean is well aware that the supernatural exists, but his job is to disprove Castiel’s findings, and keep him from finding out what’s really out there in the dark.

I'm that one in a million that wins his second chance at life and second stage a true American idol story they cry when presented with their gift of that chance on stage I said thank you to Jay Z and Beyonce they took me on for his roc nation record label and Tidal music streaming service a digital service provider I will get out to it when I get to it I just want my critics off of me they are ungrateful and evil and I said yeah to Jay Z and Beyonce no lie I parted ways with people from Harlem parted ways with Vado his music hot though I love it go check that out but we moved on from each other from family and friends they could move on from me and let's go our own and enjoy our own careers I'm from Brooklyn but I don't know nobody out here no more or the Bronx and Queens I just wanted other people that work for other teams to back off of me and stop hating on me I mean everything got my name on it and is named after me in my image and likeness and I sign the common person money on their check for them and won New York City politically by building it and helping see my list of New York City accomplishments and all my other accomplishments on my other lists and yeah I retire from social media this is my last post I know I'm good and no thank you to my enemies attaching themselves to me and being able to get my services then try to throw dirt on my name and work to sabotage me they can stop following me anywhere I go and harassing me and stop heckling me and go away I thank it has been a pleasure helping the people of New York and the world music and business is next for me and I'm taking my time getting to it ain't no rush plus I get my life back from people that always hated me and I get to love myself and write and think for myself . I had to cancel working in teams and go it alone I said no to public controlling me they set you up all the time then try to get their favorites to set it off on me because I'm a star ⭐ so I'm letting Beyonce know that I ain't working with nobody from my past in Harlem New York City and no I didn't ask anybody in Brooklyn help or any other borough help I help them though I help this community but I don't want people attaching themselves to me telling me what to do or sabotage me and no to the media all channels of you guys they are racist if it wasn't for West Indians I would be dead I'm lucky they work where In at so no to the programs that isn't Jay Z and Beyonce program I know it because I'm the one they talking too and living it out so I will teach and train myself no disrespect to any one I'm good .
