Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

DC Technically had the rights for a long time now. Hanna-Barbera has been owned by Time Warner since 1996. DC has been part of Time Warner for even longer, since at least the 70s.
DC could have made a Space Ghost comic whenever they wanted - all they had to do was ask.
Also, forget Badman v Pooperman: Damn of Dumbass, this is the Space Ghost topic now!

*raises hand hesitantly* I haven't seen BvS yet but I kinda want to, especially since most of the dislike is coming from people who are into the comics, and as a person who hasn't read the comics, I'm curious as to whether or not it's good from an outsider's perspective. Not to mention, I've been seeing a bunch of polarizing reviews (some say it's unwatchable, while others say it's not perfect, but not flat-out bad either), so that also adds to my interest. I'll probably just wait till I can just stream it though, rather than see it in theaters.

I don't even have enough cash to go to the theater right now, anyway.
Space Ghost sounds neato. It'd be neat if it got some form of comic reboot or something, especially if it came with a costume update.
Cuz I'm seeing some of the "ghost" part here, but not much of the "space". That, and his hood looks too much like it's copying Batman's old look (though I suppose Hannah-Barbara's not that great art could be to blame here).

Public Enemies might be on Netflix. If not, check Kiss Cartoon.
Nah, that type of hood has been around longer than the Bat. I believe the his namecomes from how he looks like a ghost, and the fact that he's in space. Thus, Space Ghost.
Also, looking at it now, I have to say, his costume is pretty slick. Alter it only a teensy bit and it could pass for a real spacesuit.

We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar.
"The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming
"A speccer once tried to tell me I was wrong. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."
I'm speaking as a comic book fan, Mr. Mysterio, as are the friends I went to see it with. I don't know what comic book fans you're talking to that said they didn't like it, but most of the ones I've talked to enjoyed most of it. Still some questionable parts, but the rest of it was good.
Anyway, last thoughts on BvS for this thread. Now it's Space Ghost's turn. Space Ghost is love; Space ghost is life.
Life can seem a challenge. Life can seem impossible. It's never easy when there's so much on the line.
I'm bumping this thread, since the movie has now been out for over a week. And the results are interesting to say the least. Much as we expected, the movie made bank during its first weekend--it pulled in $422 million worldwide. Also just as we expected, critics hated it. But during its second weekend, the movie dropped by more than 80%, meaning that it now has a worldwide gross of $700 million and counting. In other words, extremely front-loaded. To officially turn a profit, BvS has to make at least $800 million in theaters, which should still be doable at this rate. The question, though, is whether the other films the DC Extended Universe (Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Justice League etc.) can be successful if they continue to be this unpopular with audiences.
