Originally posted by dj_sha Your kidding, right? This movie is not like DD. DD was bad, I'll admit, but it still stayed true to it's comic roots (actually haven't seen Punisher, so I've yet to judge it). Now look at Catwoman. WB, trying to cash in on the recent superhero success and kissing Halle Berry's butt, has thrown out EVERYTHING about Catwoman. No Selina Kyle, no Batman. Their just using the name to attract people to see a superhero movie.
But here's the icing on the pile of dog carp: WB has been trying to pass this off as a true blue comic book movie. They have said that "there have been many Catwomen," referring to old TV shows that just hired different actresses to play the roll. I doubt any of these people have picked up a comic book in their life, let alone do research for the movie. And now their trying to appeal to the comic book fans further by doing this Catwoman heroclix figure. It's already bad enough that Wizard is covering this garbage (but Wizard has lost their backbone by now it seems), but now WB's trying to throw their movie into heroclix.
Halle Berry is in it so it's good? Do you mean A) since she's hot or B) that she's a good actress? If A, then just watch Swordfish or Monster's Ball. If B, see X-Men. Do you call that good acting? All she's doing is shoving her Oscar in people's faces and saying "hey, I'm an amazing actress, do whatever I say." Her ego has gone through the roof, and frankly it's just very annoying. Reportedly she said she was leaving X-Men because it was "bad for her acting career." How humble.
And that concludes my rant. Have a nice day.
Wow. I dont think I could have ever said that better. Wel done Dj Sha.
Originally posted by hair10 They did. It was in the initial announcement. I've been purposely holding off because the press release said that the starter had to be purchased on or after June 4th. It would have been much easier for me to pick one up yesterday when I got my comics... but I knew I was a day early.
This was the initial announcement:
Beginning June 4th, customers who purchase a DC HeroClix Hypertime Starter Set can send in their original receipt, UPC, shipping and handeling and a coupon from the WizKids website and will receive a Catwoman figure in the mail, while supplies last.
This does not specify when the starter had to be bought. Therefore when I went to a local shop and they had DC starters on sale with a label that said they were for the Catwoman mail-away. In light of previous errors Wizkids should have specifically stated when the starter needed to be bought.
It seems to me that Wizkids was counting on this happining to double sales on the starters by not being clear on the details.

Seems pretty clear to me (and it sounds like most other people).

Riiiggghhhtttt.... it's a big conspiricy that they set up. I'm sure the CIA was involved too. Maybe this is the real reason why Tenet resigned.

Originally posted by Whiz Fan I'm thinking about selling my empty Starter box on Ebay. Have a buddy "buy it now" for a nickel or some crazy low price. Print up a Paypal receipt and blammo! I get a Catwoman click that I will pretend is Eartha Kitt.
PM me...
I've already completed my Hypertime set... REV, U, LE. Promo, & Missprints. & as a side note: This movie will stink... Royaly.
& did anybody notice that they're using the Watchtower set from 'Birds of Prey' in the 'Catwoman' movie? Do you think there might be a conection? Not that it'll get me to watch the movie (or buy the piece), but....
I for one always thought Angela Bassett would have been a better Storm... Halle Berry is too diminitive(i. e. short) & not nearly as comanding a presence as Storm should be. I'll be glad that shes not in X3.
Of course no company has ever tried to bolster sales by misleading customers right????
Yes my local shop did screw up and that is my real problem. My point is I wish Wizkids would have posted the question clarifying their wording in the initial announcement.

Talk to the shop and let them now that when they ran the sale it was "misleading". Maybe they will allow you to "return" the product and then "buy" it again.

Don't mind halle barry, I don't think this movie is gonna be good because of how far off they are gonna be the real catwoman- She would have been fine if they did selina kyle....She was black in Batman Year One...Good read
Lookin' forward to probably the LAST DC clix this year gonna get my starter tomorrow.
