I heard there is a scene in No Man's Land where Bruce reveals he is Batman, Gordan turns away so as to not see Batman's true identity saying he mus't know for Batman's safety.  But then says who says I don't know already.  Like that scene in the Batman cartoon where he says the same thing to Barbara when she almost confesses to being Batgirl.
Joker has to know, and some have excused not using that as what would be the point in letting everyone in on the punchline.  But then why doesn't he go after Bruce instead of Batman?
Riddler knows, but whats a good riddle if everyone knows the answer?
Bane knows.
Catwoman knows.
Who else knows?

I like Namor, I liked him in the FF comics by Stan lee and Kirby.  And anti hero.  He is King and his culture is different than ours.  I think maybe some people avoid him because he is shown to be too much of a jerk at times, I don't know.  I stay away from most Namor comics because I didn't care for how he was drawn.  Its art first with me.

We will be sure to keep that in mind for next time, and thanks!

I finally got through all of it. Really good stuff, Babs & G-Man.  I had no issues on the audio, but then again I'm fairly generous on the volume side.
 
I definitely agree about the quests. I don't mind giving a clever riddle as a hint, but to blantantly give the answers? It just de-values the idea of quests.

WHAAAAAA... Ariel Olivetti a "piece of crap"?!  I absolutely love his artwork!  I'd say we need to give him a chance, because although his characters are often portrayed as "bulky", he's HAD to draw very bulky characters IE The Punisher and Cable.  I think he has it in him and if anybody is going to draw positive attention to a new Namor series, it's him and his artwork. 
And I reiterate that you don't need to be gay to enjoy Namor.  I absolutely love Namor and loved that limited Sub-Mariner series that came out post-Civil War.  He's really portrayed as very stubborn, and almost ruthless at times, and that's what I really enjoyed about the series (not to mention we get to see him kick some ass). 
I know they don't sell well, but both Namor and Dr. Strange deserve to get more attention.

I understand that sentiment. I often sometimes feel a bit silly writing some long comment on my thoughts of what I have read in an article or on a video. Making me wonder if I'm being more of an annoyance then anything.
I still think they would rather have the audience write something then nothing at all.

" Lost is the BEST SHOW! I cant believe its going to be over! I talked to a writer about two weeks ago and she said that they still havent decided on a movie yet. I agree on Heroes. But the low ratings are because of NBC keeping the same time every week with other big shows on at the same time and it lacked publicity. Its quite sad. It had something going on there. But the cancellation could have been avoided by NBC. I honestly think it went downhill after the writer's strike. I have Some issues with Olivetti, but i think it could work with Namor. the guy's hes drawn in the past are some pretty muscular dudes. Namor is thinner nowadays. Im sure itll be fine. IM GOING TO READ NAMOR. Im excited. Ive never actually read a Namor comic. LOL you like kitty because shes jewish? Do you like all jewish people Sara? Do you like Madonna? Im jewish. I dont think you like me. I hope X-men: First Class is a reboot of the entire franchise, If not, im not watching it. LOL i tried True Blood too. Vampires just piss me off. I made it through half of the episode. 3-D doesnt look good if its done after filming. An example is Alice in Wonderland. If the movie is filmed in 3-D itll look great. Its stupid to watch a movie in 3-D after its been shot. I like Superman but i havent been reading it. I dont want to have to go back and read all those issues before this. And i feel like the problem with Superman is the reuse of his whole origin being from krypton coming back to haunt him. Its the same in War of the Supermen. Is it not? Maybe therell be a flashback issue or something about Rogue? No. Most likely not. Joker...yeah,, i got nothing. Im excited to see what the writers whip up. i listened to the entire thing. DO i write cat or dog? im confused. dont worry i think i skipped a lot =P PS. i have a huge man crush on Tony "
I actually love Jewish culture. Studied it in college.

I haven't read DV8 but maybe i'll pick up an issue. I'm not into LOST that much because they never answer all the questions or take too long doing it. I'm really sad to see Heroes and  Flash Forward   get  cancelled but I do hope they wrap up the series. I'm happy to hear Human Target is coming back, hopefully with better writer's. I what to see Namor where his gay speedo and wetsuit with wings on his feet. So is Sara Jewish?  
 I can't wait to see Dragon Ball Z Kai and True Blood is a pretty cool show too. I think 3-D can work with some films but only if there made for it but the idea of an Judge Dredd 3-D film just makes my head hurt, I  
kinda thought the first movie was okay but rebooting it with into a 3-D film.

Was someone slurping on something in the beginning of this? Sounds like someone was drinking frequently. After the interview segment was over there was this constant squeaking sort of sounds.
 
How many comic writers even get the chance to write the stories they want when the companies are pushing writers to fit everything into "events"? Though, you seem to be more speaking about creator originals.
 
An odd, but good source for news I have is on my Nintendo Wii. I have the Wii News. I can pretty much read stories from the Associated Press right on my TV. It's more international news.
I've never watched a single episode of Lost either. The same for Heroes. I more enjoy CSI. I really enjoy Lawrence Fishburne's work on the series.
 
Speaking of versions of Namor. What about my version of Namor? =P

No Caption Provided
No problem having a segue into anime. Since there are no more Anime Vice podcasts.
 
I have yet to watch any movie in 3-D. I don't care much about them either. I never understood the depression people were getting from Avatar in 3-D.
Angelina Jolie got me to see Beowulf. Rented it though.
 
MMORPGs are way too heavy in time investment and working with other people. It's required. I like to pick up and play when I want. I recently got my PS3 hooked up online. I haven't added many friends yet. I want to add more. I do want to try and play with others I know.
 
I like "Dogs" more.

Listening to the Podcast right now as you discuss Namor and I believe it was Bill Everett who created Namor, but I could be wrong.
 
@G-Man:  Did you guys previously interview Brian Wood and Rebekah Isaacs ?  My memory escapes me on this one.  
I actually wasn't able to listen to the entire Podcast, and when I don't, I miss omething important.  Shee-Yot!

YES! haven't listened to the podcast yet but since I have DV8: Gods and Monsters #1 sitting on my stack with my Vertigo books I'll be sure to read it before listening...finally I will be able to follow what's going on!
