Chris O'Donnell Parodies Bieber's Robin Related Photo

Salute to the last incarnation of Dick Grayson/ Robin (Chris O'Donnell) for aping that recent Justin Bieber photo...

Post by Thefanboyseo.

At the drop of a hat, I would love to see him as Robin again or even as Nightwing. But please no more pairing, just him on a solo adventure and hooking up with some chicks. Heck bring in the likes of Lady Shiva or Cassandra Cain's dad and we already have a good comic book movie.

7 Reasons Why We Riot if Justin Bieber Becomes Robin

Justin Bieber recently took to Instagram as to what script he's got on his hands and it does not bode well for fans of Batman, Superman and everything good about DC Comics properties.

The funny thing is that the photo got over 350,000 likes which mostly consists of pre-pubescent to adolescent 'beliebers' who mistake good looks for talent. 

Anyway, as the title to this post goes, here's 7 Reasons why WE FUCKING RIOT IF JUSTIN BIEBER BECOMES ROBIN.

7.  There is only one blonde Robin and she's female.

Only one blonde Robin and that's perennial fan-favorite Stephanie Brown. She's currently absent in the comic books, mostly because Dan Didio had her abducted and kept in a safe house outside the States together with Wally West and Donna Troy. Going back to the point, we really don't need another blonde Robin. It's a major no-thanks, even if they cast Bieber as Stephanie Brown. 

6. We don't need another Chris O'Donnell

Don't get me wrong, Chris O'Donnell was a good cinematic universe Robin during the time that Batman Forever and hell even during Batman and Robin. But that's all in the past now. We really don't need another version of this kind of Robin in the movies. Plus at least O'Donnell really knows how to act; Beiber I'm not so inclined to think that much. Also we already have a non-Robin actor in Joseph Gordon Levitt.

5. Man of Steel 2/ World's Finest is Not a Concert

Remember the last movie that Bieber appeared in was a cinematic version of his concert. in effing 3D. So no thanks again.

4. Zack Snyder chooses well

Sure we might prattle on and on how the casting of Ben Affleck was bad or how Henry Cavill does not follow the standard archetypes for Superman but we know deep down that the guy does make some sound choices for his cast. JFC, just look at how spot on Gerard Butler was as King Leonidas in "300" and tell me that the director doesn't know his actors. 

3. Bieber isn't part of the Nolan Family

It's pretty obvious that Nolan has a specific group of people or posse for the films he make. Matilda Cottilard for example was in TDKR and in Inception while Anne Hathaway was in TDKR plus in upcoming "Interstellar". That being said, the guy follows a certain selection process. Since Bieber doesn't fit in Snyder's mold, he'll likely appeal to Nolan and I don't think the guy would approve of this farce.

2. Robin does not Dance

Take whichever iteration of Robin from the comics (or revert once again to the movie version of Robin) and you'll notice that no one dances. It's not that dancing is bad, it's more about dancing like an idiot that's casting a bad light for the Boy Wonder.

1. ROBIN DOES NOT SPIT ON PEOPLE

The top reason why Bieber should not be Robin isn't about his looks or what he does for a living but rather how he treats people. The kid is a poster child for all things good about youth, heck he was created solely with the idea of appealing to the younger audience and to give Batman, a really dark and brooding character, a bit of light. He doesn't go out of his balcony at broad daylight and spit at fans below. 

I guess we just have to wait and see whether or not this will blow over or (and by god I hope it does) this is just a simple joke on the pop star's part. That or it's a really bad joke.

GEEK FASHION: Ben Affleck's Daredevil - Batman Sweater

Yeah okay so it looks like we've got a winner when it comes to finding out what Ben Affleck would be wearing for the Christmas season. It really should be something like this:

And when he turns his back on unsuspecting fanboys and fangirls this is what they get:

Oh and an added info, today somebody from Warner said that Ben Affleck's Batman which will be appearing in Man of Steel 2 aka World's Finest would be somebody that's experienced and world weary; which was also probably the reason why they were eyeing Josh Brolin for the role. 

Superman/Batman Finally Happening

One of the biggest (if not the biggest) news from SDCC 2013 is the announcement of a SUPERMAN/BATMAN movie.

Obviously no details yet. The announcement alone is big enough. This'll probably be the talk of the town for a good week or so. To add more brevity to the announcement, Zack Snyder had this soundbite featuring the voice of the guy who played General Swanwick in "MAN OF STEEL". 

"I want you to remember, Clark…in all the years to come…in your most private moments…I want you to remember…my hand…at your throat…I want…you to remember…the one man who beat you."

That line of course was utterred famously by Batman during his fight with Superman in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns...

Here's the photo of the logo as revealed to con-goers today...

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give this around 8.5. This also reminds me of that poster we saw years ago from the film I AM LEGEND.

Happy Filipino Freedom Day Here's the Pinoy Captain Steel from DC Comics' Earth 2

James Robinson did a wonderful thing for the classic JSA character Captain Steel for DC Comics' EARTH 2. He made CAPTAIN STEEL as pinoy as tapsilog and balut.

I really was supposed to do this but you need to read this book for yourself, so instead, here's a scan or two of this new version of Captain Steel. 

This new 52 version of the Golden Age hero still looks the part but has a lot of alterations with regards to his origins. The tl;dr version is that he's Filipino and is sickly and his father created a process to turn his whole skeletal system into solid steel. 

Before the process could be handed over to the world government, the lab was attacked by Steppenwolf's parademons. Henry Jr. kills the parademons while dear old dad blows his brains out to save the formula thus making Jr. the only person with that specific power set; sounds familiar?

I'm really curious as to how Captain Steel will play in the formation of Earth 2's Justice Society of America. Too bad they don't have Stargirl, Power Girl and Huntress though. 

Also, this is the only other time that I'm actually happy to read 'Steel' stories. The last time I was looking forward to this character was back in the early chapters of Geoff Johns' Justice Society book. And that was Henry Jr's nephew Nathan Heywood as well. 

And that version was cool because he used to knock out Nazis sent by Vandal Savage. Oh and after Johns' departure, he was left unused and unloved. 

Great job again James Robinson.

Power Girl's Boob Window Costume Returns in Supergirl # 19

I'm what you call an off-again-on-again Supergirl reader. I picked it up after H'El on Earth and now it looks like I'm picking it up again especially since we're in the middle of a crossover with World's Finest star Power Girl in Supergirl # 19 by Mike Johnson and Mahmud Asrar.

Not only is Power Girl teaming up with her 'cousin' Supergirl, she's also returning to a more 'iconic' costume in this issue.

So how does this happen?

Power Girl Returns to Her Classic Costume

Fans of the 'classic' Power Girl costume should be jumping for joy with the announcement of the imminent return of the 'boob window' costume coming from the World's Finest # 12 solicit.
