Don't look outside, there's robot cars

Apr 20, 2006 07:13

I told Meg I'd do this, and as I have to leave to write an exam shortly after having got maybe six hours of sleep, I am in the prime condition to make good on really stupid things I promised to do.

So! Fic-type thingies request is now open!
I think anyone who would a) request something and b) have their request actually acknowledged instead of being ( Read more... )

fanfic, writing, memes

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart!

One day, Impulse appeared, much to the confusion of the assembled Teen Titans ( ... )

joyeuxnoel April 20 2006, 17:52:36 UTC

OMG.

*dead laughing at Kon*

*huggles Kon*

Best. Ending. Line. Ever.

And poor Bart, Wally's gots twins. The world should be scared, very scared.

And y'know, I always thought Kon and Cass's TT outfits were y'know, supposed to match each other. The Black Tees and the slackeriffic, in that too cool for kevlar/nomex type way.

We've spent some time trying to figure out what Wally's twins are named. Since he obviously wants to be as much like Barry as possible, we figure they must have /really horrible/ names.

My choice is 'Iconoclasim and Heresy'.

joyeuxnoel April 20 2006, 17:57:30 UTC

My bet is that one of them is a Wally, Jr. Actually, I'm not sure what sex they are. I want to say there's a boy and a girl (but that could have just been in Wally's little dream/nightmare sequence.) I so can't recall off the top of my head.

Hey. Just think. It could get weirder. They could be Don and Dawn and with a pinch of time travel-- Bart could be his own grandpa!

*killed dead*

startredder April 20 2006, 17:59:07 UTC

I think we decided that more likely would be Sam and Samantha.

BEATINGS FOR YOU.

Wah! ST hit me! T_______T

*sniffles*

*sniff*

See, if I give you any spoilerifficness when the Flash title relaunches. =P

startredder April 20 2006, 18:02:15 UTC

Bah! I'll just make one of my friends buy it and read over their shoulder. Or possibly just have them distill it for me. And then I'll bite someone.

joyeuxnoel April 20 2006, 18:05:07 UTC

Ooooh. Fangs. *directs you to the direction of the ebil TPTB and awaits ST wrath* They'll settle down after a bite or two and if they don't you can just kick them. *nods, nods*

Now on the off chance that it's actually good and kick ass...

My money is actually on Bart as an adult but...

startredder April 20 2006, 18:06:49 UTC

I'm sorry, DC has ground up my faith in their ability to produce something I will enjoy post-crisis and spit on it. In fact, I think they're the kind of reader they /don't/ want.

I think I'll also stab something's face if it's an adult Bart. I don't /want/ an adult Bart. I want /Impulse/ back. If it's an adult Bart, I'm sure they're just doing to do further things with his character that I'll have to deny.

joyeuxnoel April 20 2006, 18:14:44 UTC

DC got points for me for "Identity Crisis" despite the plot holes of doom. DC also got points for the whole Superboy thing in "Infinite Crisis" despite the fact Crisis confuses/bores/annoys me to death. But Kon. *wibbles over him*

Y'know, I will be strangely content if it's an adult Bart. He won't be anything like the Bart we know and love. Because there'll be like maturity and stuff, so he'll become a little carbon copy Flash, which'll suck. Majorly. But at the same time... if it's not Bart this time around and if it is Wally, that means we probably won't get to see Bart as the Flash for another twenty years or so. Which will really annoy me. Because really. Bart does deserve it and I'd like to see it happen while I still care about comics.

*so thinks it's a "if not now, then never" situation*

startredder April 20 2006, 18:16:13 UTC

What I don't like about the idea of Bart becoming the Flash is I don't think they'll handle it in a way I think they should with regards to the character. It should be Bart taking up /Barry's/ mantle, but I'm worried there going to make it all about Wally. Sigh.

joyeuxnoel April 20 2006, 18:22:49 UTC

I think they could split it equally between Barry and Wally and have it be managable. I mean, even in the Flash title, Barry still gets mentioned a hell of a lot because Wally still feels like he's filling his shoes, y'know? (And honestly, Bart wants to fill Barry's shoes more than Wally's anyway.)

The only thing that could hink it up is the whole "Kid Flash" thing. Which, I really do agree with Bart becoming Kid Flash. I like how he wanted to show Wally that he was capable of living up to his namesake, then he sure as hell better be capable of living up to Barry's. But John's pacing was shitty about it. I wanted it to happen but just not in the cataclysmic knee shattering way. ._.

But, yeah, I do think if it is Bart, we'll hear more about Barry than Wally. Hell, poor Kyle heard shit loads about Hal. Old school baby, goes a long way.

Now watch. It'll be Barry. And all my speculation will be for naught! *dramatic pose*

startredder April 20 2006, 18:25:21 UTC

LALALAICAN'THEARYOUWHOISTHISJOHNYOUTALKABOUT?!

I don't want Barry back, either. I think I could handle one of Wally's kids without my brain exploding much. I wouldn't mind a return of Wally's grown up kids /and/ a properly Bartish Bart, but ... DC is not going to make me happy on this count. I just know it. It'll be /Wally/ and then I'll have to do some punchin'.

joyeuxnoel April 20 2006, 18:28:20 UTC

*shouts over the capslock* Geoff Johns! The bane of my existence! The guy I want to hate but then he does something that's a smidge of cool. Like having Bart get a Green Lantern tattoo. (Because no one would expect Kid Flash to have a Green Lantern tattoo!) And then he makes me all conflicted. =P

... yeah, having Barry back would do nothing for me. I bet the fanboys would love it though. Wally's... kid... omg. I'd spork myself if it was Wally's son. Spork. Spork. Spork. (I'd rather have Wally. ._.) But really, who are the other options? Johnny Quick and Jay Garrick aren't near as popular enough to carry the title.

Bartish!Bart... I'm not even sure I can picture how an Adult!Bart would act... ._.

startredder April 20 2006, 18:34:56 UTC

CAPSLOCK DROWNS OUT EVERYTHING! (Seriously, when we were at the comic book shop a few weekends ago the girl started talking to us about some of the Crisis fallout with Titans members and I wandered into a different section of the store with my fingers in my ears going LA LA LA.)

It's not so much that having Barry back would do nothing for me, it's that having him back would cheapen the legacy he's built up. He's managed to remain this really pure figure, especially for speedsters, and I think that's /good/ that they have that kind of ideal. But they can't keep him that way and bring him back, so let him stay dead, having died a (double) hero's death, eh?

If Wally's son turned out a lot like /Linda/ I could get behind it, maybe.

I don't imagine it would be Johnny, since he's been /dead/ for, what, ten years, now, and was never a major player. I think a title built around Jay would have the potential to be really quite cool, but it would probably alienate the audience.
I do remember saying that what I think would be cool, is if Bart /is ( ... )
