@IowaRam If the DC movie of the Flash stars the same guy and he is portrayed the same way, then I am not watching it.
I agree that Mamula is a perfect person to play Kraven the Hunter. He may have been one of the worst to play Aquaman. DC blew a chance to outdo Marvel for once.
When I mentioned DC and Marvel copying each other, I was referring to comic book characters. They have been doing it for decades. If one comes up with a successful hero the other soon copies it. At least they didn't do it with their main stars. But even the Justice League and The Avengers is Copycatting. Dark side and Thanos, Quicksilver and Flash, Black Panther and Cheetah, Dr Who and Dr Fate, I know that I am missing a lot.
I was always a Marvel fan. The main reason was because their comics were better illustrated. Some of the DC characters didn't even have pronounced musculature until the 90' or later. I was a kid in the 70's and 80's. Back then The Flash was a string bean. The Fantastic Four and Batman weren't any better. Adam West wasn't much of a departure from the old Batman. It's ashame because recently I have learned more about DC and in many cases I think they had the better stories. But, reading the comics was secondary for me back in the day. I really just liked to draw them. I would look for the ones that had the best graphics, then I would copy them. I think got pretty good at copying their art. It's how I learned to draw.
Comic book artists
There are some really amazing artists out there
I've always been a Spider-man guy , there is Spider-man , and then there is everyone else , but yea , it was the art that hooked me at first
John Romita, Sr. , Alex Ross , and Ross Andru were some of my earliest memories , but it was John Byrne's work on the X-Men that really gave me the WOW factor , then came Todd McFarlane , Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld , along with other in the late 80's that really set the industry a blaze , and a whole new crop of artist
I don't ready comics much anymore , The only comic I read now regularly is Amazing Spider-man , I have a monthly mail subscription , all of the rest of my comic book knowledge now days come from Google and Wikipedia...............lol
