It's a fact of life that comics fans have a special section of the brain, unused in those who don't see the significance of four colors, that is specifically devoted to fan-casting characters. It's instinctive. You watch Flags Of Our Fathers, you see Ryan Phillipe, you immediately think "Captain America!" In fact, if a lithe Asian teenager went up to the average comic book geek, threw him onto a bed, took off his pants, and then stripped naked, all without saying a word, his first comment would be "You'd make a great Cass Cain." Then he'd say that Barbara Gordon was a much better Batgirl. Damn Silver Ageists.
So here is one more example of this sad waste of creativity. If you think "Evel Knievel" when you hear "daredevil," feel free to move on, and here's your review of last week's Smallville:
Chloe designed a defense system which would lock in whoever was in the Clocktower and cut off their oxygen. There was no way for her to disable it. It was made to go off if someone tried to hack the system. So, basically, the next time Chloe tries to download an MP3, she will die.
( Onto the wishful thinking. )
