Showcase #22 Club

Personally, I don't like the sound of this new movie. They are pushing the comedy too much. It was great for Deadpool, won't work for everything. Poor choice IMO.

 

+1

 

Ryan Reynolds is and was comedic. That didn't carry the last GL flick for sure.

They really don't need to synthesize artificial humor for these movies. What they need to do is not make pictures that suck. There's already a successful roadmap that's been developing since the inception of these characters, why deviate to such a degree that the material becomes unpalatable and cheesy?

 

Probably because Lethal Weapon needs to be rebooted and for no other reason. Why else would be seeing a mediocre television version emerge and now talk of this infecting the DC movies?

DC has three years to make the movie right. Regardless of how the movie does, Showcase 22 will perform well in the long term and has been catching up as being the second most valuable SA DC. For a matter of fact, SC22 in 7.0+ will sell for more than Brave and the Bold 28 in those respective grades.

Yes but truly do you ever see SC22 passing SC4? I say this and I don't even own a SC4.

There was a time when nobody wanted a Showcase #4.

There was a time when GA was flat over a decade ago. I remember talking to another former dealer about it and wondering why GA was dead.

There was a time when Marvel #1 was the most valuable book in OSPG.

Whenever someone says  'always' I reminded by what my old shop teacher said: Never say never.

Remember when Adventure Comics 247 was the SA DC key...

I sure do. If you weren't a Superboy collector you weren't a real collector.

Yep, Marvel 1 and Adv 247 were the books. A close 2nd was FF1, NOT AF15 in those days.

No reason why it won't happen again. History is cyclical...

Does that still hold true now?
