Clearly he was gonna pour it into his body through a well marked incision he cut into his veins allowing it to merge with his blood cells to create a new even stronger form of Venom whose after effects will only be mirrored by that of the Titan formula in Batman Arkham Asylum...or lift his mask. But probably the first one.
I just can't figure out why Slade is even wearing the mask... It's not like his identity is this huge secret.
There was a guy in Marvel, Fantomex, who would drink through his mask, which I always got a kick out of. He'd pour the beverage on his head, and drink whatever he could through the mask! Now that's a guy who is paranoid about his identity!
I wonder if that's how Grant writes? You know, he just takes an idea and lets it get weirder and weirder as it goes along. Heh-heh, "Cave of Excellence"...
That's right, Deadpool has been known to drink stuff with his mask on. I can specifically remember him drinking a cup of coffee with his mask still rolled down.
"Bruce has a son...by someone he barely see's...Silver St. Cloud..no better! Talia Al Ghul, then...the kid is an alien..wait no..he's a skilled killer, then he kills Superboy!! Wait no..he's dead, he beats Tim near death...Perfect! Someone bring me some Pizza and Pepsi to celebrate finishing this book!"
Lol really? Deadpool is such a wildcard character, I'd love to see him interact with The Joker because they'd have such inane conversations.
I love the manic conversation there. I can totally see Grant pacing around his cave saying this all out loud with a wild look in his eyes.
I've got to see if I can dig up that pic of Deadpool and the coffee.
Joker and Deadpool would be hilarious, 'cause you know Joker would try to kill Pool, but he wouldn't be able to 'cause of Pool's healing factor. That comic would be a laugh riot.
I'm convinced that he DOES have a beard and live in a cave, and that pic I saw, much like how Superman made them, is a robot he made in his "Fortress of Grant-itude."
Awesome, I'll be looking out for it.
That so happened in that Supes/Bat comic I was telling you about. Deathstroke was trying SO HARD to kill Deadpool and he couldn't. By the end he was so frustrated...he just yelled "WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!" That was awesome. But I could definitely see the same thing with Joker.
Yeah, that pic of Grant was probably like 15 years old, and the real Grant actually lives in a cave with an uber long beard, super long fingernails and tissue boxes for shoes.
See, I could see Joker trying to kill Pool in the beginning, before Joker warmed up to him 'cause they're both so damn crazy.
Lol @ Tissue boxes for shoes..That's highly quotable. Or That was like Grant's lawyer and he kidnapped the real OLD Dumbledore from Harry Potter looking Grant and has him chained in his basement to a huge typewriter feeding him cold pizza.
Oh man, imagine a team up with Bats and Deadpool vs. Slade & Joker or Bats and Slade vs. Joker and Deadpool.
Well, at least that scenario would explain some of Grant's crazier ideas.
Even better, Bats, Nightwing and Spidey vs. Slade, Joker and Deadpool. Although I can't imagine Slade teaming with BOTH Pool and Joker... He'd prob go stark raving mad!
Oh, just wait until you read Batman and Robin 6...just wait good sir. Nah I'm bluffing lol...or am I? Who's Rip Hunter now! Bum bum bummm
Dude I think Slade would take himself out. And Deadpool was in the latest issue of Spidey..they dissed each other with Yo Mama jokes then Deadpool called out the greatest yo mama joke ever, he refers to it as Mamageddon. Lol deadpool rules.
I still have to read B & R #5! Damn post office!!! To be honest, nothing Grant does can surprise me after Final Crisis. Superman singing Darksied to death is, was, and always will be the epitome of stupidity to me!
Oh I don't know dude...there's a HELL of alot of um...hidden easter eggs I didn't even catch when i read it. Checked out an online discussion and they pointed out a hella amount of stuff I missed. You're gonna love it if they ever ship your freaking comics. Damn post office.
Deadpool for president...of um Assassins, running against Slade of course.
Nah, my CB shop sent me an e-mail today saying they haven't heard anything from the USPS yet. Once I'm done blogging tonight, I'll probably send an e-mail out to the post office to see if they can tell me anything new...
That would actually be kind of pathetic. The dude wins the election to become the president of the Assassins and he decides to hire ANOTHER assassin to take out the Titans?!? Jeez Slade, how lazy is that?
Ahh let me know. Can't believe it's been a month already.
Lmao, well I mean the president doesn't do his OWN dirty work. Then again I could see Slade sending assasins to bring the Titans out then picking them off with a Sniper because I know he's tired of getting his ass kicked by kids.
I don't know, when you're the president of all the assassins, I'd think you'd want to work extra hard to keep your rep strong, or you'll probably be dealing with a lot of angry fellow assassins trying to take your spot.
I think there'd be plenty of assassins dumb enough to take a shot at Slade, especially if they thought he'd gone soft. Imagine the credibility the dude who iced the Terminator would have. Who wouldn't want to hire the guy who took down Slade?
Yeah except that no one COULD take down Slade. Besides Shiva do you think anyone can beat Slade, if she can even do it. Deathstroke has made a living going after heroes, I would hope any assassins, whether it's Deadshot or anyone else wouldn't be that stupid.
Shiva would def have a good shot. If Grant Morrison was writing the story, Damian would be able to take Slade. What about Ra's? I know he's not an assassin per se, but he does run the League of Assassins, I'd think a battle between Slade and Ra's would be too close to call. Besides that, I can't think of any assassins who'd have a chance at dethroning Slade.
Man if Damian ever takes Slade to the limit I'd swear off his comics. Ra's would be good but if he can't beat Batman he can't beat Slade, because as far as I'm concerned Slade is just the evil Bruce. I'd love to see a Shiva vs. Slade fight as well.
Ha yeah, let's all hope that Grant Morrison has no intentions of using Slade anytime soon! Ra's and Bruce have that wierd respect thing going. I sometimes wonder if Ra's really wants to kill Bruce or if he considers him like a sparring partner. Sometimes it seems like Ra's is out for blood, but then other times all he wants to do is talk with Bruce. If Ra's went after Slade to the death, I'd be interested to see what would happen.
I like that, Slade being evil Bruce. It really fits. That makes me really want to see Bruce and "Evil Bruce" lock horns one day.
I think Ra's would have to respect Slade, seeing as how he runs a league of Assassins and Slade's a top assassin. Then again who knows what the hell goes through Ra's mind.
I'd LOVE to see those two fight, and not just like one fight but an arc or a long term "feud" because that'd be like Bruce and Hush except Slade may be able to take Bruce in a fight seeing as how he can see the future somewhat and has Super Strength.
"Then again who knows what the hell goes through Ra's mind." Ain't that the truth. Depending on who's writing Ra's, he acts in some really weird ways.
Slade would be such a nice change of pace from Bats crazy Gotham foes too. That's why I like Hush so much. Usually Bats enemies are just Looney Tunes crazy, Hush actually thinks and plans things out.
Did you read that Trinity book with Bizarro calling Ra's Al Ghul "Racer cool?"
Yeah that's what i don't get, Slade has been dealing with Robin's his whole career it seems Batman doesn't even care about Slade, except when they fought during Infinite Crisis and that was Nightwing, Batman & The Jinx vs. Slade.
I'd love for Slade to do something to a Robin (Damien) that gets him like critically injured and that pisses Bruce off and leads to them having a huge battle.
Ugh, I'm sure I read that Trinity comic you're talking about, but like most of that Trinity maxi-series, I prob blocked it out.
That's a good point. Slade and Dick/Jinx have crossed swords on MANY occasions(especially Dick), Slade knows who Dick is, which means that common sense should tell him who Batman is. You'd think that Bruce would have dealt with Slade before, but I guess not...
Lol it wasn't good by any means so I don't blame you, but I couldn't resist calling him Racer cool for a few days.
I'd assume Slade HAS to know who Bruce is, so the moment he decides to use that to his advantage, or blackmail Bruce, which I could see him doing. That could start their feud.
Yeah, the blackmail idea could def have some legs. Slade does like his money. Hmm, how about Bruce gets a letter in the mail demanding that he wires a few mil to a swiss bank account, or his Bat-secret will be revealed. From there, Bruce does the whole detective thing, which would include him confronting the few people who know about his double identity, culminating with Bruce finding out it was Slade behind the blackmail attempt, which leads to a few comics worth of awesome Slade vs Bruce action. A good writer could def stretch that into a 6 issue arc.
That'd be awesome. I'd love if things were thrown in there like Green Arrow and Nightwing having seperate conversations with Bruce saying how Slade is like Bruce and how Slade took them to the limit and stuff that would build up their awesome battles.
Yeah, a Slade/Bruce battle would be great, although I will say, I wouldn't mind seeing Slade run into Dick as Bats. That would definitely be an interesting scene for sure.
I'd love that, because I'm sure Slade would know it's Grayson within minutes. If Two-Face isn't Dick's archenemy it's definitely Slade. I'd be interested in seeing those two have a nice long term battle as well. How would you write it though?
It seems like Dick's Bat-archenemy is Two-Face, while his Titans nemesis is Slade. Hmm, let's see, since Slade usually tries to avoid unnecessary battles, he'd have to be in Gotham on business. Let's say some crime lord put out a hit on Commish Gordon, and Dick found out about it, that way we've got a reason for Slade being in Gotham, as well as a personal stake in the battle for Dick.
See that was simple yet effective. Hm...I gotta come up with one to stump you. Gimme a good storyline for there being two sets of Titans (Teen and um...just plain Titans) one being led by Bart Allen and one being led by Superboy. And 4 team mates for each. I'm just curious on who you'd pick and why.
Huh. See, now that is a much tougher situation to make up a story for... OK, how about this. SB and Bart decide it's not a good idea to have all the Titans hanging out on the west coast, so they decide to split the team in half with SB taking his half to the east coast(NYC or Metropolis). I'd give SB Cassie(for obvious reasons), Spoiler/Batgirl(as a rival love interest for SB), Static(for levity)and Zatara(just 'cause I like him). For Bart, I'll go with Ravager(I like the dynamic between future Bart and future Rose), Speedy(she's too good a character to not be used)Miss Martian(I like her and Rose together + she'd be this team's powerhouse)and Brainiac 5 from the Legion of Super-Heroes(he'd be hilarious insulting Bart, and I think Rose would be constantly trying to kill him). There you go, what do you think of those line-ups?
Actually those are really good teams. I love that you paired up Bart/Rose and SB & Cassie and their surrounding teams are really well balanced. I can't find any faults with the teams or the story. Nice job X, you are really good at this lol.
Lol I won't wait by the mailbox for my membership card. Speaking of the Legion, they were on an ep of Smallville I watched today. Never realized how awesome the three core members are.
Quick question, how was Deathstroke planning on drinking that beverage with his mask on?
Clearly he was gonna pour it into his body through a well marked incision he cut into his veins allowing it to merge with his blood cells to create a new even stronger form of Venom whose after effects will only be mirrored by that of the Titan formula in Batman Arkham Asylum...or lift his mask. But probably the first one.
ReplyDeleteThat explanation gets a well deserved "wow".
ReplyDeleteI just can't figure out why Slade is even wearing the mask... It's not like his identity is this huge secret.
There was a guy in Marvel, Fantomex, who would drink through his mask, which I always got a kick out of. He'd pour the beverage on his head, and drink whatever he could through the mask! Now that's a guy who is paranoid about his identity!
Lol, It started slow then it got more and more weird. I felt like Grant Morrison...in my cave of excellence.
ReplyDeleteMaybe just so his um...yeah...he has an eye patch so I also don't get why he wears that. Good point X.
That's awesome..I can see Deadpool doing something like that as well. That's good old fashioned Batman paranoid combined with Deadpool Goofy-ness.
I wonder if that's how Grant writes? You know, he just takes an idea and lets it get weirder and weirder as it goes along. Heh-heh, "Cave of Excellence"...
ReplyDeleteThat's right, Deadpool has been known to drink stuff with his mask on. I can specifically remember him drinking a cup of coffee with his mask still rolled down.
I'm sure that's how Damian was conceived.
ReplyDelete"Bruce has a son...by someone he barely see's...Silver St. Cloud..no better! Talia Al Ghul, then...the kid is an alien..wait no..he's a skilled killer, then he kills Superboy!! Wait no..he's dead, he beats Tim near death...Perfect! Someone bring me some Pizza and Pepsi to celebrate finishing this book!"
Lol really? Deadpool is such a wildcard character, I'd love to see him interact with The Joker because they'd have such inane conversations.
I love the manic conversation there. I can totally see Grant pacing around his cave saying this all out loud with a wild look in his eyes.
ReplyDeleteI've got to see if I can dig up that pic of Deadpool and the coffee.
Joker and Deadpool would be hilarious, 'cause you know Joker would try to kill Pool, but he wouldn't be able to 'cause of Pool's healing factor. That comic would be a laugh riot.

ReplyDeleteDude I think Slade would take himself out. And Deadpool was in the latest issue of Spidey..they dissed each other with Yo Mama jokes then Deadpool called out the greatest yo mama joke ever, he refers to it as Mamageddon. Lol deadpool rules.
I still have to read B & R #5! Damn post office!!! To be honest, nothing Grant does can surprise me after Final Crisis. Superman singing Darksied to death is, was, and always will be the epitome of stupidity to me!
ReplyDeleteTotally agreed, Deadpool does indeed rule.
Oh I don't know dude...there's a HELL of alot of um...hidden easter eggs I didn't even catch when i read it. Checked out an online discussion and they pointed out a hella amount of stuff I missed. You're gonna love it if they ever ship your freaking comics. Damn post office.
ReplyDeleteDeadpool for president...of um Assassins, running against Slade of course.
Damn, now I REALLY want to read that issue! It sounds like it could be pretty brutal!
ReplyDeleteSorry Pool, but my vote has to go to Slade. Deathstroke is the baddest man alive.
Yeah...lets just say I'm very eager to see what you think of it also.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Slade seems like the guy that'd kill everyone who didn't vote for him too.
ARRRRG!!!! Damn post office!!!!! I really want that comic!
ReplyDeleteI can see Deathstroke's campaign slogan now, "Vote Slade Wilson for President of Assassins... Or else!"
So no word yet? That's a real friggin bummer.
ReplyDeleteLol, I could see that, his celebration speech would just be him ordering a hit out on the Titans.
Nah, my CB shop sent me an e-mail today saying they haven't heard anything from the USPS yet. Once I'm done blogging tonight, I'll probably send an e-mail out to the post office to see if they can tell me anything new...
