They’re absolutely right. No notes.

Batman Begins premiered in Tokyo, Japan on 31 May 2005 before its official release on 17 June.
Christopher Nolan had been hired in 2003 to direct a Batman film, and David Goyer was quickly hired to write the screenplay. Inspired by the 1989 comic "The Man Who Falls" by Dick Giordano and Dennis O'Neil and the 1996-7 series Batman: The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, they wanted a "sober, serious approach" to the character and to dramatize his early years.
Batman Begins was the first Batman film by Warner Bros. since the disappointing Batman & Robin in 1997 and was both a commercial and critical success, even earning and Academy Award nomination for Best Cinematography (Wally Pfister). It has been cited as one of the most influential films of the 2000s, which "heralded a trend of darker genre films, that either retold back-stories or rebooted them altogether" (Shawn Adler).

Rereading JSA (1999) and this moment was just never followed up on, was it? The next big Power Girl story is JSA Classified: Power Trip, which re-establishes her as Kryptonian, and I don’t think Earth-2 Allura ever shows up anywhere after that.

Regardless of how it goes down, this platform will crash and burn. Not even factoring in the AI bullshit, the internet has proven time and time and time again why opening these kinds of suggestion boxes are a terrible idea. Whether it's the McDonald's racist sandwiches, Boaty McBoatface or Microsoft's Nazi chatbot, if given an in, internet users will fill it with bullshit.
Tumblr media
hello my loves <3 do not ever, ever, ever "officially" create for an IP that you have not signed a vetted contract to be paid for. this is a tactic companies use to get a free writer's room they don't have to pay for. you won't see a cent and they will own your work. don't do it.

Times Past Thursday — Kid Eternity
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jeff Lemire and Diego Olortegui have introduced a new Kid Eternity in JSA #3. She’s only made a couple of appearances so far, and we don’t know much about her—mainly because she doesn’t seem to remember much about herself. But maybe we can find some clues by looking at Jeff Lemire’s past work.
Back in the New 52 era, Lemire and artist Cully Hamner created a different version of Kid Eternity for DC. He only appeared once, in National Comics: Eternity #1, and then never again. That version was a modern twist on the characters who came before.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The original Kid Eternity debuted in Hit Comics #25 (1942) from Quality Comics. He died in a boating accident years before his destined time and was supernaturally brought back to uphold good in the world. By uttering the word "Eternity," he could summon historical or mythological figures and also turn invisible or immaterial. Eventually, he was given the name Christopher “Kit” Freeman. After DC acquired Quality (and later Fawcett), he was retconned as the brother of Freddy Freeman—better known as Captain Marvel Jr.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After Crisis on Infinite Earths, Grant Morrison and artist Duncan Fegredo gave Kid Eternity a darker, Vertigo-style reinterpretation. In that version, he was manipulated into serving the Lords of Chaos, and the spirits he summoned were revealed to be demons posing as historical figures. This version of the character was notably murdered in JSA (1999) #1 by Mordru. He later returned for a brief stint with the Teen Titans—only to be killed again, this time by the Calculator.
Tumblr media
Lemire and Hamner’s Kid Eternity was also named Christopher Freeman, but this version never went by “Kit,” nor did he die in a boating accident. He joined the 27 Club, shot down in the street alongside his father. In the afterlife, he was separated from his dad and eventually resurrected with only a hazy memory of his death. Returning to his job as a police coroner, he discovered he could resurrect the ghost of a deceased person for 24 hours just by touching their body. The premise felt very much like a blend of Pushing Daisies and the TV version of iZombie—fun, imaginative, and ending on a great cliffhanger.
I’m curious if the new Kid Eternity in JSA will have any of those powers. Honestly, they seem like a more versatile story tool than summoning Abe Lincoln—or a demon pretending to be Abe Lincoln. And I do wonder if she’ll turn out to be related to Freddy Freeman. I kind of hope so. I’ve always liked when random heroes are tied together by blood—it gives the DC Universe even more of that sprawling, interconnected charm.

I'm halfway through Johns' first JSA run. Some issue were better, other were worse. Nonetheless, imo one of the most interesting plot thread happened to be centered around Doctor Fate, although it didn't seem so visible till its nexus point in JSA #48.
In this series the mantle of Doctor Fate has been assumed by Hector Hall. Yes, Hector Hall, son of Carter Hall aka Hawkman. Some readers might know him from Gaiman's Sandman, where he appeared as a ghost.
In this run, Hector technically first appeared in JSA #2 as a nameless, reincarnated infant destined to become the next Dr Fate. The actual reveal happened in JSA #4, when Hector (magically grown up) assumed his role and defeated Mordru - a Lord of Chaos, trapping him in Fate's Amulet.
Tumblr media
JSA #4
In #14th, Hector sought help in fighting Extant. Kent Nelson's ghost advised him to turn to Mordru. The Lord of Chaos told Hector, that "Hourman is the key!" and that "Dove is the key!", simultaneously hinting that he knew Lyta Hall's whereabouts.
Tumblr media
JSA #13
Who the hell is she? Well, Lyta was Hector's wife; as well as a superhero - Fury; she's also mostly known from Gaiman's Sandman
Several issues later, in #19, Hector decides to visit his "new mother" in order to wake her from coma only to discover she was actually Lyta Hall - Hector's late wife.
Doctor Fate, clearly and justifiably agitated, tries to come up with anything that could help his beloved.
Tumblr media
JSA #19
Later on, in JSA: All Stars #3 Hector conversates with Nabu in a bar. There, Hector witnesses his own fate, which is to kill Kendra Summers - the reincarnated Hawkgirl. Hector refuses to let it happen. Nabu tries to reason with the guy, but he has already sweared to prevent the destiny itself.
Tumblr media
JSA: All Stars #3
In the meantime, in JSA #24 a reunion happens between father and son
Tumblr media
JSA #24
Flash forward, in #32, "Nabu" advises Hector to head to Gemworld as if the cure for Lyta lies there. Keep in mind this scene, it's gonna come back.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
JSA #41
So, Hector, fully determined, travels to Gemworld in #41st, where he meets those two enigmatic fellas - Flaw and Cutter. The latter explains why Mordru wanted Fate's amulet so badly and how he had come to be. In #43th, the three of them visit Lord Wrynn's place of death. Wrynn had tried to acquire Mordru's power, eventually becoming overpowered with it. Despite that, his remains still hold a great deal of mana, so Hector takes his skull.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the following issue, hopeful Fate uses that skull, only to find out that...Lyta was actually reincarnated Dawn Granger [aka Dove]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She reveals a big retcon surrounding her partner and a former super hero - Hawk. So, this guy went mad and killed some JSA members as Extant, 'cause he was being manipulated by someone. That someone was *taratamtataaam* Mordru
Tumblr media
As he hears that name, Hector leaves in rush. He reappers before District Court, where JSA handles the mess with Cobra's accolytes. But something feels off - Doctor Fate anatgonizes other members. While taking off the helmet, he reveals the concealed visage, not Hector's - but Mordru's!
Oh, right; Cutter actually is some child-looking guy called...Child? Anyway, he was helping Mordru this whole time.
Tumblr media
In #47 we find out that Mordru swapped places with Hector; while the first one was up and running around, the other one remained trapped in Fate's Amulet. Hector meets other people who wore Fate's helmet: Kent Nelson, Inza Nelson, Jared Stevens, Christopher Freeman and even Eric & Linda Strauss. To everybody's surprise [mine too] they are just Hall's imagination. Nabu reveals that back in the #32th issue it wasn't him talking to Hector, but Mordru [and so the devil came to collect].
That's when the crucial moment happens; Hector is told to get his shit together, to let go, to relinquish his mission of bringing Lyta back. And although it's not easy [it never is], he's not left alone - Nabu supports him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
JSA #48
Hector contacts Dove and tells her to find Arion, whose body was possesed by Mordru. Mission accomplished, soul has been found, the bad guy's got distracted, so now Hector can finally beat the stars out of that lord-of-mud.
Tumblr media
JSA #50
So how does he do that? Well, Fate humiliates his foe by showing the future, proving that Mordru is destined to eternally fail.
Tumblr media
He later imprisons Mordru into the Rock of Eternity and rejoins the rest of JSA. And everyone lived happily ever after [or rather - for now everyone lived happily ever after]
Tumblr media
JSA #51
And so, despite Mordru being a forgettable antagonist (who shares some similarities, both physically and characteristically with Vandal Savage); damn, that whole JSA run having ups and downs, it managed to create a story about a man, who after constantly fighting fate, learns to move on...to let her go
And so, perhaps we could derive two very different meanings from Passengers' most popular song. Maybe
you only love her
when you let her go
doesn't only mean your realisation of how much you loved someone when you miss them
A person interprates and shows love in various ways, whether it's by giving gifts or saying "I love u"; but sometimes...
sometimes the greatest act of love one can show to the other is to let them go, let them live their life...
...
Ehhh, and then the "Black Reign" arc happened, which left me so upset; as it ruined nearly everything from issue #48
Hey, *uhhhh* so actually Nabu inserted the souls of the previous Fates inside the amulet, *uhhh* but that's "okay", since now Hector can resurect Lyta *"yeaaaay"*
Tumblr media
Hawkman #25
I'm just...I'm fuckin' disappointed in the end; that's all
La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo
