the bottom half of his cotume is bizarre…I agree with Lint about the overuse of black in his design
Decent design, but I never understood the concept of having a utility belt without a belt buckle.
…and why does he have a flask? Is this Captain America an alcoholic? or is going to missions where dehydration will be a problem?
What’s in the pouches?
if its bucky imma be pissed…bucky became his own badass character and doesn’t need to be in the shadow of cap. bucky has alot potential stories they could do…more adult ones…i think they could do some really cool stuff with him.
What the hell is wrong with you today? Lol, you upset that the Raptors lost to Real Madrid in that preaseason game? REAL MADRID. Haha. I don’t even know what state Real Madrid is based in - that’s how ignorant I am of the world beyond America. But that’s all right. Bosh didn’t play so maybe you can tell yourself that it didn’t count or lower your team’s morale and pride. There’s still enough time for them to regroup for the season.
I expected you to made of sterner stuff, though. Where’s your faith in the great Bru? Have you even been reading Captain America? The Church of Bru will give you another chance to retract your blasphemy before we decide to excommunicate you, track you down, and murder your entire family line. (But we’d leave you alive so you can suffer alone.)
And yeah, Steve Rogers used guns and knives. Back in the day, he used deadly force against Nazis. Even after he was revived in the modern world, he killed occasionally. He wasn’t cruel about it, but he did what he had to do to defend himself - and by extension, AMERICA, baby, AMERICA. AMERICA FUCK YEAH
You think that A on his head stands for France?
This new Cap ain’t Steve Rogers, but that’s sort of the point. The series has become an examination of who Captain America is and what he represents. And anyone who doesn’t like it can LICK MY BUTT AND SUCK ON MY BALLS!! Great youtube clip, kaney. I’ve already watched it 94,465 times and counting.
That’s fucked up that we got beat by Real Madrid, even though we pretty much already took their two best players. Bosh or no Bosh…the fact that we got out rebounded by like 20 against a bunch of guys who would be amazed by running and drinkable tap water (okay, that might be an inaccurate statement) is just not good. The Toronto Raptors are the only NBA franchise to have been beaten by TWO European teams in pre-season contests. We got like buzzer beaten by Maccabi Tel Aviv the year before…ironically, it was Anthony Parker our current starting SG that did it.
God I feel sick.
JUST STOP TALKING
Now that Cap’s dead and the Canadian dollar has reached and exceed parity with the US dollar, two of my top three reasons for ever living to the states are moot.
And Batman capped a fool in DKR too. Everyone uses guns now, it’s the cool thing to do.
Bob Kane had Batman use a gun in some of those really early adventures. And Todd McFarlane drew a comic where Batman held a pistol.
One of those two is valid.
Hey Zephy, just because it’s from like the 1940’s and it’s Pre-Crisis doesn’t mean it doesn’t count.
Yeah, Bats used a side arm for quite a few adventures, actually, until around the time of the Kefauver hearings.
But, near as I can remember, although he used plenty of explosives in DKR and even used guns a couple of times, he never actually shot anybody.
i like the design of the costume minus all the shiny parts. anybody remember cap’s armor costume?
I realized I forgot to deliver my long-awaited opinion of the costume:
It’s crap. Modern comic book costume design 101. Start with Solid Snake’s sneaking suit as a template and tack on crap until it’s just different enough to avoid copyright problems. Bada bing.
He drove a giant tank. And shot at a buncha mutants. But he did look at the camera with a wink and say, “Rubber bullets. Trust me.”
Its gotta be Bucky (Winter Solider). Remember, Castle gave him the bag with the suit last issue and told him the mask was in one of the remaining 3 safe points of his and to go find it. Plus Castle is to big, that looks like Bucky.
No, remember right before the scene where he drags that two hundred pound mutant up on that skyscraper (“the scream alone is worth it”) he’s rescuing this kind from these mutant gang members.
The last guys…he breaks through the wall behind one with the big ass machine gun, and the last guy is holding the kid, and he’s going like “BELIEVE ME MAN, I"M GONNA SHOOT HIM”
And then Batman just straight up caps the guy with the machine gun…and goes “I believe you.”
Those aren’t verbatim because I don’t have the book in front of me right now, but it should be pretty close.
It’s another really cool scene from DKR, but for some reason completely forgotten and never brought up in Batman and guns discussions - the only other reference is like a 1940’s Bob Kane panel where Batman’s capping some dude in a coffin or something with a regular handgun.
But it happened in DKR. Different continuity, but still one of the most important and most famous Batman stories ever…and no one remembers it. I barely remembered it myself - like I caught it like maybe the fourth time through it or something. Weird, it never really sticks out at you - maybe because there’s a bit of a conflict with the idea of Batman and killing with the whole Joker scene at the end and how he doesn’t have the guts to finish him. It’s like…it almost doesn’t work as well when you remember that he’s already just shot a normal mutant at the beginning of the book.
I’ll be damned; you’re right. Luckily, Batman’s prior use of firearms probably gave Miller just enough wiggle room to get away with it.
he had a us agent vibe/look to him
Marvel could’ve at least gave him a better gun
There’s nothing really adult about Bucky. I mean, if you consider Bucky shooting someone where Cap would have just thrown his shield “adult”, then I guess…But, Captain America is far and away a Marvel mainstay. It’s all a setup, really. The world DOES need a Captain America. Steve will be back, you’ll see.
He definitely shoots a guy in DKR. Page 64.
See all that black?
You know what that tells me?
In preparation for the movie costume, that’s what it tells me…
