It's official - the mousification of Marvel and Spider-Man et al has begun. Horrors?

I don’t think so but it seems like they got a bargain at 4 billion.

Perhaps.

E.g., I’d much rather see the Hulk fight the Abomination than wonder about who he’s going to take to the Misunderstood Scientist’s Ball. ;-)

This is really old news. Stan Lee was extremely excited about this.

Overall the reaction from comic books peeps I know is that the increased capital will allow Marvel Comics to take more risks on new lines of comics.

DC has been owned by WB for quite some time. I don’t think we’ll see much of a difference with Marvel.

@andrew I just saw the news item. Did not know that.

What Andrew said.

Ughhh. I really hope this doesn’t mean the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana will be making comic book appearances alongside our superheroes.

Hey maybe we’ll get to see Batman with his sidekick Mickey Mouse.

My dream is to see The Hulk storm through It’s a Small World ride…I’d pay to see that!

@sndfreQ Ha! Best mental image that I’ve had in a while.

@Zen_Again- You might enjoy reading this.

@AstroChuck You’re right – but I just saw the article and it was dated yesterday. Hmmm – I am not on top of the entertainment business happenings, that’s for sure. Sulks and heads for a corner.

@Zen_Again- I wasn’t busting your balls or anything. I just thought you might like that thread. :-)

I know @AstroChuck but I still feel like an idiot.

Then welcome to my world.

Uhm, Batman is a DC Comics character. Which is owned by Warner Bros. Since we haven’t seen Superman alongside Elmer Fudd, I think it’s unlikely Wolverine will be dragging Pluto along on his next trip to Alaska.

The process of “mousification” ended years ago.

There was a time when Disney was a clearly recognizable brand. Now, Disney is practically generic as the only thing that separates a Disney film from any other film is it’s logo.

@Pretty_Lilly : Excellent observation.
