In fact, Captain Alliance and Captain America sharing some panel time is the only reason I would bring him back. -- Al Ewing

Discussion Post - Batman Caped Crusader Season 2
Aug. 4th, 2026 02:33 pmicon_uk posting in scans_dailyMod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Aug. 4th, 2026 11:17 amicon_uk posting in scans_dailyIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.
Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.
The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
In the latest episode of the world's least amusing sitcom, the US Attorney for Washington, Jeanine Pirro withdrew criminal charges relating to the "Vandalism" of the Reflecting Pool, admitting it was down to a crap repair job. POTUS 47 however, continued to claim that it WAS vandalism because you know how much he dislikes it when little things like "facts" disagree with his worldview.
I finally caught "Masters of the Universe", and I wanted to like it so much more than I did, because they seem to want to undercut the drama at every moment and they undercut it with some winceworthy comedy (The "Taika Waititi Effect" as I like to call it). That and the fact that Eternians seem so keen to be a bunch of dicks to Adam (who doesn't do much to help himself at times, but who is basically someone cast out into a dimensional vortex all by himself when he was ten and had to exist in a world that's completely unlike his won, and being glared at a lot for having accidentally lost the thing everyone was obsessed with BECAUSE HE WAS TEN YEARS OLD and in a damned DIMENSIONAL VORTEX). Most of the cast do their best, but it's so frustrating because there's a much more interesting movie just under the surface of the one we got.
Batman Caped Crusader season 2 dropped, but I'll make a separate discussion thread for that.

Nightwing #139 is confession without absolution.
Aug. 2nd, 2026 01:10 pmthanekos posting in scans_dailyIssue #138'd ended on Dick confessing to his self-appointed prosecutor.
She believed he was fully responsible for the recent pileup on Blüdhaven's new superhighway - he knew that he shared the responsibility with " the witch of Blüdhaven. "
He told her about that ghost. She went on TV to tell everyone about how she didn't believe him.
( " A warrant has been issued for Nightwing's arrest. " )

The latest Spider-Man film has come out in theaters this week. For those who saw it what did you think?
DC's Hawk-Girl Summer
Aug. 2nd, 2026 10:32 amshakalooloo posting in scans_daily
Wow, there's a lot of good stuff here, so much to pick from. We get Hawk-Girl and Catwoman tussling over an ancient Egyptian amulet, Psycho-Pirate messing with Bunker, Grace Choi and Thunder, the Robins playing volleyball, Connor Kent and a shirtless doppelganger, a stupidsexyDarkseid, freaking GIGANTA messing with Mister Miracle...
No, let's go with the story that features both the least amount of worn swimwear but also is most centred around the subject.

Yeah yeah, Queen in Black, but this one panel has definitely convinced me to pledge my allegiance to the queen in yellow, instead.

Challenges of Doom: Mr. Fantastic #1

"Doom's one of the great characters of Marvel. He's both incredibly complex and wonderfully simple, so there are always new wrinkles to be found in his past - right from his origin story - and maybe in his future, as well." -- Al Ewing

NS: Samara Weaving is Emma Frost
Jul. 31st, 2026 12:35 pmcyberghostface posting in scans_daily
Deadline is reporting that Emma Frost has been cast in the upcoming MCU X-Men film. She's a great actress with a lot of range so it should be interesting to see what she brings to the role. Looks like we'll be getting more casting soon...
Queen in Black #1
Jul. 31st, 2026 07:14 amlaughing_tree posting in scans_daily
It's rare that we get villains who are so completely evil in that very old-school way. From one angle, Knull's very 90s, in a good way - that big, bold energy that comics were running on like rocket fuel at the time - but from another, he's got that 60s villain energy in that there's no dealing with him, no humanizing him. It's time he came back and did his thing again. -- Al Ewing
