-- I have a phone conference today to discuss the shooting outline for the BIONICLE movie, which I have to say is just great. (I did the story, but am not doing the script itself, but the person who is doing it is so far doing a very good job.) Wish I could share more about it, but as you can imagine, it is still very hush-hush.

It's great you did the story. Perfect, I would say. But someone else is doing the script...

*Remembers the dialogues of the previous movies:

B1, during the Kohlii match -- "Comes from the right." And that was all what the announcer said.

B3, when the Toa face Vakama -- Onewa: "And if we don't want to?" -- Vakama: "Then I'll force you!"

(I don't remember them exactly, but they were something like that)*

Please, Greg, make sure we get intelligent dialogues .

Just my personal view, though, is that Clayface works better as a henchman for some other schemer/mastermind villain, just as Hush has used him.

But I agree in the Scarecrow thing. They can't keep things as they are supposed to be -- making Crane a monster is like giving Luthor Superman's powers forever. It isn't supposed to be that way. Scarecrow is an intelligent villain that uses fear to defeat opponents, psychological tactics, not his ugly-mutated-monster face. He was weak, and so he needed to use his intelligence against Batman. When he becomes the Scarebeast, though, it's just another superpowered Hulk that must be beaten with force.

EDIT: BTW, I'd recommend reading Helllboy. It's a great comic, influenced by H. P. Lovecraft. I really like it, so maybe you would like to give it a shot. You can read some short stories in the next link (erase the extra "L" in the name (It's for the filter ):

This Batman discussion sounds good, can I join?

I agree that the Scarebeast thing is completely... stupid? Weird? I don't know. And the reason they gave for it? Please. Scarecrow's genes were altered, and he becomes a gas-exhaling giant beast?

I agree that he should be used more.

BTW, GMan, yes, Clayface should be more prominent. Although Hush likes to use Clayfaces in his schemes in Gotham Knights (Always hiding and changing identities), and Jeph Loeb usually uses him in his stories (I'm a bit behind, since newer comics take time to get translated to Spanish here in Chile). His most recent appearance, at least in what I've read, was against Supergirl in one Superman/Batman comic, posing as Batgirl (Barbara).

BTW, GMan, that Scarecrow/Poison Ivy duo sounds interesting...

I would think that the Brotherhood would somehow take control of Mata Nui's actions, or something like that. After all, they're the best when it comes to control other beings.
