While a Plastic Man movie could have theoretically happened at any time in the 23 years between 2000 and now, the stars seem particularly well-aligned for him to appear in DC's Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters.It's rare that an actor can remain an attractive choice for a superhero for over two decades, but Plastic Man's malleable look (and the amount of CG that would be involved in any action scenes) mean that he's really quite age-agnostic. Lillard remains as charismatic an actor as he ever was, and his career has showcased his ability to funny, charming, and even intimidating in equal measure - all qualities necessary for Plastic Man.

The PM-1C boasts a small footprint, low energy consumption, and high-quality construction. It has a two-stage injection unit — extruder/accumulator — furnished with bimetallic barrels and long-life feed screws. The hybrid machine is controlled by a Beckhoff PLC and actuated by Rexroth hydraulic components. A classic structural foam multi-nozzle injection manifold is an available option.

Not too many people have taken on the mantle of Batman - but many don't remember this version of Batman, despite his utterly unique costume.

Unfortunately, the movie never came to pass. Despite several other rumors over the years about Plastic Man appearing on the big screen, either in a solo project or as a cameo, the stretchy hero has remained in the realm of animation. While the character undoubtedly comes with challenges that make him more difficult to adapt than many comic book characters, the time is right to finally give Plastic Man a chance.

The Lumina Pallateer Model PM-1C comes standard with a 350-ton press capable of molding pallets up to 48 x 52 inches in size and weighing up to 40 pounds. Its HDPE melting capacity of 1200 pounds per hour is sufficient to produce 30 pallets per hour. Hot runner molds, robots, and other accessories are available from Wilmington.

While James Gunn is perhaps best known as the writer and director of the MCU's Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, he tackled another pop-culture franchise several years earlier. Gunn worked on both Scooby-Doo: The Movie and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, both of which featured Matthew Lillard as Shaggy. Gunn confirmed on Twitter that in 2000, while he was involved with Lillard through the Scooby-Doo franchise, he pitched a Plastic Man movie to the then-head of Warner Bros., Lorenzo di Bonaventura.

Believed to be the lowest cost US-made machine of its type, the PM-1C is priced to compete with Asian-built injection machines of comparable capacity. It more than competes with such machines from a pallet-cost standpoint and produces an excellent ROI for both contract and captive molders, said Wilmington’s information.

Writer Stuart Beattie recently revealed his scrapped plans for an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie trilogy. How would it have fared in comparison to the show?

The Lumina Pallateer Model PM-1C from Wilmington Machinery accepts 100% recycled plastics even in flake form, enabling the production of low-cost plastic pallets.

The latest Onyx Storm reveal may have hinted at Violet’s second signet, supporting a popular Fourth Wing theory about her power from Andarna.

A new low-pressure plastic-pallet injection molding machine from Wilmington Machinery accepts 100% recycled plastics even in flake form. That enables the production of low-cost plastic pallets, noted the company.

James Gunn failed to get one DC character off the ground 23 years ago, but the time is finally right for his perfect pairing to hit the big screen in the new DC Universe. Despite some undeniable high points over its 10-year run, the DC Extended Universe, which started with 2013's Man of Steel, will come to a close when Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom releases this December. Replacing it will be a new DC Universe canon, complete with a bevy of new characters and a more unified narrative plan for the future.

Recent casting announcements for Superman: Legacy also make Plastic Man seem like a great fit for the upcoming DC Universe. The Man of Steel's first cinematic outing in the new shared universe will feature appearances by Mister Terrific and Metamorpho, two characters involved with The Terrifics, a group that also predominantly features Plastic Man. If that team is to appear in live-action, it would be the perfect time for the DC Universe to introduce a hero whose appearance is long overdue.

Cece and Schmidt have the best love story in New Girl because they push each other to grow as people, while staying true to themselves.

Rick and Morty has focused on the Rick Prime storyline for years now, and now that it has wrapped up, the show can finally return to its origins.

The new Lumina Palleteer PM-1C joins the Wilmington lineup of horizontal and vertical machines with press capacities to 2500 tons, injection capacities to 300 pounds, and melting capacities to 6,600 pounds per hour.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is an incredibly iconic anime that's hard to replicate, but there's one Crunchyroll series that hits the right notes.

Several characters have already been confirmed as DC Universe canon, but far more are yet to be revealed. While there's little doubt that previously established and beloved characters like Wonder Woman and The Flash will join the new cinematic universe sooner than later, perhaps more exciting is the opportunity for brand-new characters that haven't hitherto appeared on the big screen to finally be given their time to shine. As such, and with Gunn now the co-CEO of DC Studios, the time has never been better for the perfect pairing of actor and DC hero to finally come to fruition.

Leslie Abramson was the attorney for Erik Menendez during his infamous trial, and went through some big highs and lows following that case.

Until she retired in September 2021, Clare Goldsberry reported on the plastics industry for more than 30 years. In addition to the 10,000+ articles she has written, by her own estimation, she is the author of several books, including The Business of Injection Molding: How to succeed as a custom molder and Purchasing Injection Molds: A buyers guide. Goldsberry is a member of the Plastics Pioneers Association. She reflected on her long career in "Time to Say Good-Bye."
