Face/Off George

I hope your "sabbatical" isn't too long. Even bridge need four players. Interesting turn on Arrow this week. Knowing that WW is probably behind, I won't spoil it. Just to hint that a DC character whom you wouldn't probably expect in the "Arrowverse" gets a rather solid mention. George

That might explain it. To me, Neil Young's voice had the same effect as fingernails scratching on a blackboard. George

Nope. Sorry. George

Harry Palmer Jack Carter Alan Breck Robert Blakeley Milo Tindle George

Probably not. But let's try Robert Downey, Jr. I know he played Chaplin. Georg

OK. Had it backwards. Are these people who portrayed Hitler? George

Larry Talbot? George

Obviously a prolific actor. Some of the names seem familiar (not just Albert Einstein); but I'm not getting it. George

I'll give you all six. I hadn't thought of Robin. The "gimme's" were, of course, Superman and Batman. Neither Green arrow nor Aquaman had his own book until the 60's (for A-man) and the 80's (for GA), but both were back-up features in other books through the early decades. You're up! George

WW, really? OK, let's end this Featuring one of only five DC Comics heroes to make it from the 40's to today, the original source material for this very recent movie involved an American Air Force pilot being rescued from a crash by an island girl, during WWII. Apparently, WWII was too morally unambiguous for today's Hollywood (can't have America be the good guys, after all), so the movie is set in WWI, and the pilot, though an American, is working as a spy for the British. Although the movie draws heavily on Greek mythology, the heroine is named after a Roman goddess. George PS: Extra credit if you can name the other four DC heroes who made it from the 40's (with changes, here and there). Two are "gimmes"; the other two, not so much, though I'm sure you're familiar with the characters.

It is, indeed. Originally, I had "Thor: The Dark World Is not Enough," but I think this one flows better. You're up! George

Correct. Glad to have you back! George

Of course. :-) George

I'm going to change this one. Two young men, filming a TV show from their basement, aid a British secret agent in preventing the crippling of Europe by the destruction of a key oil pipeline. (This way makes a better title.) George

Well then it must be Elton, but I still don't know the title. George Incidentally, Elton has an hysterical role (as himself) in the new Kingsman movie.

Now this one, I DON'T recognize. George

You did get them all correct. The original series did not have a "finale" episode; "Turnabout Intruder" just happened to be the last to air. Since WW is out for a while, FREE POST! George

I know I'm thinking of the right song. But title? Artist? Coming up empty. I'm sure there will be some of this, soon: George

Gotham season 4 starts tonight. CW stuff in a couple of weeks. George
