hey, any chance of seeing the Legion? :D

Always a chance - but since the only 'teams' that have been announced so far are 'batman' and 'joker' for the starter sets, I'd assume that Origins will be centered around Batman allies and enemies, and perhaps JLA and IL

I'd guess the Legion would be saved for a later set, much as Avengers have been in Marvel...

Cheers!
-Ben =)

my guess is if it's a "Batman" set. Superman and Lex Luthor will be in expansion #1 in Dec. there will be other jla members but i bet they wait on Superman.

I know these are just very speculated rumors, but I'm definitely liking what I'm seeing so far.

I've heard that Superman will definitely be in the set. While I won't 100% guarantee anything - anything's possible after all - he should be in there.

It's always possible that there will be a superman expansion - it's also possible that JLA or Superman will be teams in Origins...

They found a way to get Sider-Man and Hulk in Marvel Origins, after all - and kept it to the set theme while they did it!

Spiderman... in a Fantastic Four themed set... but the only way they could do that... you don't mean... they aren't going to...

...the Bombastic Bag-Man?

As cool as that'd be, I think it's just gonna be a normal Spidey from his stint on the New FF. :P

-lol- indeed. SPider-Man, Hulk, Wolverine and Ghost Rider, all as FF team members...

The Phantom Zone? I know the flick's probably a little different from the comic version (just a touch) but I'd loooooove to use that one.

Wolverine: I'm the best there is at what I do.

Batman: Oh yeah?

(Turns on the Phantom Zone)

Wolverine: (As he spirals into the distance to spend the rest of eternity as a glass waffle) Forgive meeee! Forgive meeee!

Hee, hee, hee.

-ROFL- I can just picture that!! ha ha 'eat endless space, claw-man!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!'

*Cracks knuckles* Sit down, Jack, and I'll learn ya' somethin'.

The Phantom Zone is not, as is so portrayed in the movie, the giant glass waffle of space. It is an alternate dimension. Actually, it's the space between dimensions, and thus was chosen by the Kryptonians as a prison because it was completely empty before they found it. There is nothing native to the phantom zone, although it's where pretty much every technologically super-advanced planet dumps their garbage. The process of putting something in the phantom zone is done through a sort of two handed Nintendo Virtual Boy called the Phantom Zone Projector. In the silver age, the Phantom Zone housed a seemingly limitless amount of Kryptonian Super-Criminals, but now it holds a grab bag of the oddest stuff Superman comics have to offer, such as the ghost of Clark's ancestor Kem-L who created the Eradicator, the "bottled" city of Kandor, and a poorly explained alternate Krypton.

Batman would never use the phantom zone, because he hates Superman and would never accept any help from him. ;)

yah, indeed, but it would be funny...;)

Good one...
Tough Batman could just beat the hell out of him.

**takes a sit under the learning tree w/Bizarro**

Thanks, Bizarro. #98. Or, in your native language, You Thanks Me No Give. (Bizarrian was my minor -- still working on my verb conjugation, but hey, give me time):grin:
