Phantom Stranger #1 - I can help
Jan. 30th, 2013 07:30 pmSince it's a) come up in the comments to my Teen Titans post below and b) doesn't seem to have been posted from before if the tags are to be believed, here are four pages from Phantom Stranger #1, in which PS "helps" on-the-run escapee from Hell Rachel Roth.

IGN has the news that Prince Adam and his out-of-the-closest alter ego ( I keed!) and friends return for more adventures in Eternia.

Chuck Austen: Not that bad?
Jul. 15th, 2011 11:15 pmI've never been a big fan of all the Chuck Austen hate. Was he really that bad? Well... maybe. Polaris going batshit crazy and actually being Magneto's daughter are some of the bigger problems. But some of the special dislike is for "The Draco." But there's a very good scene in Part One of the story.

So it's come to my attention that many folks haven't ever heard of Freight Train who is acting as the muscle for the current Outsiders team bringing in some new blood to the team.
He debuted in issue 30 of the series but his origin story wasn't explained until issue 35 where we discovered how he received his powers.
When he first showed up he was explicitly stated as working for Simon Stagg. Simon Stagg is the father of Sapphire Stagg, Rex Mason/Metamorpho's ex-wife. Java, one of Simon Stagg's workers was also in love with Sapphire and hated Rex for taking "his" girl from him. Sapphire of course loved Rex and so on and since then Sapphire has somehow died very recently. (If anybody knows how that'd be nice to know)
Some issues ago Java even tried killing Metamorpho knocking him out while holding the Orb of Ra (the orb that gave Rex his powers but also hurts Rex if he's near it) and dumping him into Chemo.
Now in the present Metamorpho's been saved by his team mates Owlman and Freight Train and the three go to find Simon Stagg (or Java technically since he's always with Simon) but Freight Train apparently betrays them and lets Simon Stagg and group capture the two.
(Whoo boy, hope that made sense to you folks)
The big plan Simon has is to use Black Lightning as a power source and with research he based off of the Black Rings from Blackest Night to resurrect Sapphire.
( Freight Train revealed! )

Neil Patrick Harris as Nightwing? Yes, please!
Feb. 9th, 2010 10:53 pmFrom the L.A. Times Blog http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomp lex/2010/02/new-batman-dvd-to-peek-out-f rom-under-the-red-hood.html
Written by Judd Winick and based on his 2005 Batman comics story line, it's Batman versus another vigilante, Red Hood, who doesn't mind cleaning up Gotham by leaving dead bodies in his wake. Animated guru Bruce Timm exec produces this pretty violent look into crime on the streets, and it's directed by "Superman Doomsday" co-director Brandon Vietti, with a cavalcade of stars as voice talent. It all starts with Bruce Greenwood ("Star Trek") as Batman, then continues with "Supernatural" star Jensen Ackles as Red Hood, Neil Patrick Harris ("How I Met Your Mother") as Nightwing, John DiMaggio ("Futurama") as the Joker and Jason Isaacs (the Harry Potter films) as Ra's Al Ghul.
This was one of the most popular story lines to come out of Batman in recent history.
Screen cap of JToddz. Looks so *malevolent. * Rawr!

Edit: Update: I LOL'd at this article about Jensen Ackles' deep bass, thought you might, too: http://www.examiner.com/x-35662-LA-TV-In sider-Examiner~y2010m2d9-Jensen-Ackles-a nd-Neil-Patrick-Harris-to-costar-in-new-B atman-DVD
For legality, I was too lazy to scan anything from Under the Hood, and this was already scanned....
