I finally took a look at the free rules download for the DC Universe Miniature Game.
It’s made by Knight Models, the same company who produced the Batman Miniature Game.
Batman Miniatures is based on a D6 system.
DCU Miniatures is based on a D8 system.
WTH?
So the two systems are incompatible with each other, which explains a lot, to be honest, like why they just didn’t simply release an expansion for the rest of the DCU, like they did with the DCTV shows, namely Arrow and The Flash. The power levels necessary for the full DC Universe would probably break the Batman game, so a different system was created.
Super Speed/Speed Force was probably simple enough to incorporate into the current miniatures rule set.
They will sell ‘Multiverse’ figures which can be used in either game. The Catwoman figure that I had pre-ordered is one of those new figures, with a stat card for each game included. I hope they come out with Multiverse cards for existing models, so I can use my current Batman minis with the new game.
I held off on picking up a Catwoman figure for the Batman Miniatures Game because I wasn’t impressed with either of the available models.
And then I saw that a new one was available for pre-order. Behold:
And, to keep up with the premise of collecting the original Super Friends, I pre-ordered this guy:
Or should I say, comprehend.
Since Rogue One first came out, and more recently with the digital release last Friday, I’ve seen discussions online were people are completely or partially mishearing/misunderstanding dialogue from the movie.
Specifically, this exchange:
Mon Mothma: Despite what the others say, war is inevitable.
Bail Organa: Yes, I agree. I must return to Alderaan to inform my people that there will be no peace.
Mon Mothma: We will need every advantage. Your friend, the Jedi.
Bail Organa: He served me well during the Clone Wars and has lived in hiding since the Emperor’s purge. Yes, I will send for him.
Mon Mothma: You’ll need someone you can trust.
Bail Organa: I would trust her with my life.
People think that the Jedi who they’re referring to either Ezra Bridger or Ahsoka Tano.
Huh?
Ezra knows Bail, but he did not serve in the Clone Wars. I don’t even think he was born until long after Revenge of the Sith.
As for Ahsoka, people think they’re referring to her because of that last line, “I would trust her with my life,” which is actually referring to Leia. Also,”he served me well” couldn’t refer to Ahsoka.
Putting all this together, plus the fact that this movie ends about 5 minutes before the beginning of the first Star Wars, how can you not know that they’re talking about Obi-Wan Kenobi?
I’m guessing that we’ll see the fate of Ezra, Ahsoka and even Kanan, in the next season of Star Wars Rebels.
