Yeah. ScrewAttack has a series called Death Battles, where they pit characters from various universes together. This has been going on for a long time. Whether we're talking Luke Skywalker v. Harry Potter, Spider-Man v. Batman, and other miscellaneous fights like Rebecca Black v. Justin Bieber. They've actually relied heavily on various official references to determine their strengths, weaknesses, and compiled the information together into one entertaining brawl.

In the end, the videos come down to the stats being used. It's not official, but it does show that the creators went through great lengths to give it the best accurate outcome.

Now this is the type of "Hero vs Hero" fights I thought you were originally talking about. The only drawback with these particular Ultimate Fan Fights are they don't use any fighters/actors with actual physiques to match the characters and the results are based on fan votes.

JJ Abrams taking over the Star Wars franchise. Abrams is a very astute director. Look at his success with Mission: Impossible and Star Trek. Even Cloverfield(I had heard a sequel may be in the works. I almost got into a heated argument about Cloverfield).

I'm glad the are getting back around to fixing Aqualad. Also great to see Deathstoke doing his thing.

I know that Aqualad is soon going to have to betray his father. I however am not looking forward to that. I know his dad is evil and all, but it's still terrible to see family against each other, even super powerd fictional families.

i liked cloverfield...liked it enough to watch it multiple times

the star trek reboot was better than I thought it would be, having grown up on william shatner, leonard nimoy and patrick stewart

perhaps it is time for Star Wars to take a new direction:smt023

I kind of wish they would reveal more of the back story on this version of Black Manta. He's seems for more noble and purposeful as to why he's a villain than the actual comic version.

Shouldn't be that hard since Lucas won't be involved with any story telling aspects. Funny how others do a better job at handling the story aspects of the Star Wars universe in cartoons, games and novels than the man who created it.

Come on Ra creating something is far harder than building on it. Star Wars is iconic for a reason.

Yeah it is, but the thing is Lucas created Star Wars with the intent of it being only the one original film and never really fleshed shit out beyond that because he never expected it to blow up and become the iconic property that it is. If he had everything fleshed out properly, ala J.K. Rowling and her Harry Potter series, then a totally different situation we're talking.

Black Jedi lead for the win

HP didn't span for 35 years and a novel is burdened with the same visual element.

Doesn't change the fact that all of the substantial elements and expansion of the Star Wars universe was done OUTSIDE of the movies by people other than George Lucas himself. That may have been part of the reason why he sold the Star Wars property to Disney to allow others to properly continue building it.

One big prop I'll always give George Lucas, is the diversity of the cast in the prequel trilogy. He had every race you could think of in those movies. Compare that to the people in charge of the Star Wars Expanded Universe (cartoon, comic books, video games, novels etc.) were nearly every new character introduced is white.

We'll probably see the same thing in the new movies as well. The same thing thing can be said for the original Star Trek series compared to the Next Generation and all the other spin offs series that followed.

Which is why I truly embraced deep space nine
It handled race and bigotry in quite a few episodes, and sisko could be seen wearing African colors and hats

I loved it

I think it is and it will do very well if the script is written well.

The Klingons became my favorite aliens during the Next Generation due to the fact they had a number of black actors and athletes popping to play them. And I always looked at the whole "Worf being raised by humans" as a play on a black person being raised by a white family, since Worf always seemed to have to prove his "Klingoness" to other Klingons at times.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was the most diverse of all the franchise. It was interesting that Captain Sisko changed from grieving widower to badass commander. Avery Brooks brought a lot of heart to the role and he was easy to relate to(so did Kate Mulgrew as Catherine Janeway in Star Trek Voyager).

My late older brother loved Worf. He called the Klingons, in his own loving way, "The n$ggas of space." It was to say that the Klingons were tough and didn't take shit from anyone. I refer to them as a combination of black people and Native Americans. Both are strong and proud, yet misunderstood. ET's John Tesh played a Klingon in one episode.
