Yep, they're still doing that. Every char that has some black in his/her costume of hair has some blue tossed in. I would've used a dark grey or dark brown, but, that's just me and I'm no artist. One issue of Spidey with Venom surprised me because the cover had Venom on it with dark grey instead of blue and it looked a lot better then the normal blue additions.

Criss Angel as Mandrake??? NOOOOOO!!!!! Dear Schwartz in Heaven, what's next?? Some WWF steroid junkie as Doc Savage? Matthew McConaghuy as Aquaman? Frasier Crane as the Beast??

I see you forgot about Gandalf playing Magneto, or Captain Picard playing Professor X.

Also, I just read another thing about the Mandrake movie, and it states that Jonathan Rhys Meyers will play the role instead.
All I can say to that is;
"invovo legem magicarum"

What's wrong with Picard as Professor X? He has a lot of experience in sending young people into danger while he remains in his chair.

Carpe threadum.

Name four current members of the Justice Society of America who are currently using a superheroic identity which was used by one of their parents.

For bonus points, find the Sheldon Mayer reference in this question. : )

I can only think of three: Hourman, Liberty Belle, and Wildcat. As far as I know, Wesley Dodds wasn't Sandy Hawkins' parent; Citizen Steel and the current Amazing-Man are the grandsons of the originals, not the sons; and Black Canary isn't a current JSAer.

Those are the 3 I can think of off the top of my head too.

What about Judomaster? What's her relation to the previous Judomaster?

They dated... tho, current Judomaster use to call the previous Judomaster "Daddy".

Okay, I admit: I thought the new Amazing-Man was the son of the "golden age" Amazing-Man.

I thought I still had one more - the Sheldon Mayer reference I mentioned. However, it appears Maxine Hunkel's aunt and uncle, Dinky and Sisty, were the Cyclone Kids, not her mother and father (I guess that's Huey and his wife?).

Thread's yours, Custom.

--I blame Geoff Johns. Though, I blame him for a lot of things.

You make it sound like he's your father...
hmm...
is he?

In the pre-Crisis continuity, Judomaster's partner Tiger was said to have trained whom?

The Batman ???

I remember one issue of DC Comics Presents in the 80s where they tried using gray highlights for Superman's hair instead of blue. A lot of fans complained that Superman looked too old; one guy wondered if this were the Earth-Two Superman.

Could be now that it will be retconned into being just that.
