Ok, so, a couple of weeks ago I did a list of characters from the Marvel Universe that I most wanted to see introduced on the big screen and it was requested that I do a DC version of the list. That puts me in a bit of a bind because, whilst I do own a copy of Man of Steel, I’ve never bothered to watch it and I still haven’t watched Batman vs. Superman (so sue me) so I’m not all that up on what they’ve done so far with their cinematic universe. Plus, DC’s apparent aversion to movie origin stories (not necessarily a bad thing) does make it a bit harder to make a list like this. But, you asked for it, so who am I to say no. Of course, I have nothing but the finest of no faith at all in Warner Bros. being able to make a good superhero movie, but you’ve always got to hope right?
WARNING: Opinions after the jump. You have been warned.

It was a hard fought battle this time around between AtomicPunk (so great you are back) and Melmo44. Frankly it was a battle between all four entries at the outset, but I eventually narrowed it down…finally.
Please join me in congratulating Melmo44 on this week’s win, and well done all!
See you Saturday.

Ok guys, it is the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Unless you haven’t, but either way it’s still happening. It is the final of this years Friday Night Fights. The semi0finals didn’t disappoint, one having only 10 votes between the two entrants and the other having just 4 votes separating them. However, unfortunately we do have to say sayonara to both Vectorman316 and MLS from the competition. You guys may now post your entries if you so wish.
And with that, this is how the final lines up. Good luck to both competitors and may the best ‘machiner win.
FNF: Final- Vampyrist vs. Linea24
[polldaddy poll=”9453716″]
Vampyrist- Cobalt
Linea24- Zephyr
Oh, and just for extra suspense, the poll result is hidden. You can thank me later. 😉

Ok, so some of you guys might remember last year there was a lot of talk about the DC Cinematic Universe, around the time the first details of Batman vs. Superman were starting to see the light of day. The list contained all the stuff you’d expect, Justice League, Shazam (no), Wonder Woman, Flash etc. But one thing stood out like a sore thumb. The Sandman, Neil Gaiman’s seminal tour through the world of the dreaming, was among those projects slated for a movie debut. Now, apart from the fact that this film had been doing the rounds for almost 15 years by that point, it seemed like such a bad idea. How could they translate what is possibly the best work in the comic book medium onto the big screen without it ending up being a hollow facsimile of the original (hi Watchmen and V for Vendetta). Well, why don’t we take a look?

Ok guys, this week we’re going to have a classic challenge category, a Two Great Tastes contest. However, rather than me give you one genre and then you pick another to fuse it with in your picture, I’m going to give you both genres. The two genres you must fuse in your entries this week are Sci-fi and Fantasy. Obviously, this means you can use any of the tropes commonly associated with either genre, so aliens, elves, orcs, robots, spaceships, dragons, sorcery and science are all there to make use of.
As per usual, no limits on entries this week and the contest will close at midnight Saturday (blog time). Please read the contest rules before entering, have fun and good luck.
