:rechecks sources: DAM YOU, WIKIPEDIA! YOU LIED TO TO MEEEEE!
- Still though, unlike most I can't really wrap my mind around losing the Zorro and the Detective angle. It's like taking away Stark's iconic moustache and a significant portion of his engineering skills and later have him build a circuit board in the next movie and shout 'See! See! He's doing engineering and stuff now!'. It's something that goes all the way back to the Kane/Finger era and just dropping those two aspects are just mind boggling. Not to mention Bats isn't really about fear and guilt, it's about justice, not letting others go through the same pain as you have gone through and trying to do the right thing and your fair share in a crap sack world.
- Yeah I agree, Leslie is one of those characters, as long as no writer tries to simplify her, would have made a great foil to Bruce/Batman. It's helps if the writers keep in mind that they are *both* right and wrong to the same extent.
- They get the best possible guy to play the part and have him deliver the best on-screen performance of the character only to have him killed off when his character finally becomes what we were all waiting him to be. Ouch!
-Exactly! Iron Man is one of the few superhero movies to have captured the spirit of comic books. The best comics are the ones where I can switch between reading for the light hearted, fun super hero fluff the first time and the deeper more subtle stuff the second time. It's never one way or the other when it comes to the best comic books, it's both!
-Thanks for the heads up for 'Inception', I've been torn all week between my gut instincts telling me not to watch it and stay veeeeeery far away from it and everyone else telling how awesome it is. BTW, what didn't you like about it?
