Short Version: A thoroughly enjoyable, light, animated summer family story that doesn’t break any new ground, but does provide an amusing hour and a half of harmless diversion.

Riffing off the RPG Corner topic today, I give you Clark Kent, Paladin:
Note that the armor design is a direct rip-off of this AD&D illustration. Apologies to WotC!
Edited to Add: And here it is in color, by request in the comments.

Your buddy who usually runs your gaming group calls you to pitch a new idea for the group:
The Justice League as played in D&D (any version)!
How would you assemble the team? How would you build them, in terms of class, alignment, race, etc., using only the rules for the edition you choose? Which JL members would complete your roster for your adventuring party of, say, 4-6 players? Would you start everyone at Level 1, or would you prefer to get as close as possible to the regular incarnations of the characters and start them out at various levels? What kind of equipment would you use to help replicate their powers?
And most importantly of all, would Robin be a Henchman?
I’d love to hear what you’d do with that scenario, other than hanging up on your buddy the DM!

If you haven’t seen it yet, Entertainment Weekly features a still of Ryan Reynolds (?!) in the Green Lantern costume from the upcoming movie:
Can’t say I’m a huge fan of the glowing muscle ligature in the design, but as always you have to see it in action first. And that looks more like a Photoshopped head on a CGI body rather than an actual photograph, but what do I know — not only did I not know Ryan Reynolds had been cast, I didn’t even know there was a movie coming up. Ignorance is bliss, I reckon.
Thoughts?

While rifling through old directories on the hard drive for a separate UGO request, I realized I have an awful lot of old drawings in Flash that could be used in HeroMachine 3. So I put together a “Companions-Humanoids” set for you:
I would imagine some of these can have other items applied to them for further customization, or you can just leave them as-is. For instance, with just a little positioning and scaling and layering you could do this “Charlie’s Angels” remix:
Some of these are prizes from back when you got a custom illustration; if one is yours and you don’t want it in HM3, just let me know.
