I thought this moment was a bit sweet from this weeks All New X-men, since Alex and the present Scott haven't exactly been close. Was a chance to feel like he had a normal relationship with his brother for once.

You know, I'm reminded of some graphic novel called Batman and the Dragon or something, about Batman in China, and how a major plot point was that Batman didn't speak Chinese. I remember thinking that modern writers would never let that fly, and Batman would just speak whatever language he needs to because he's Batman.

Well if Batman just got out of a situation where he was in trouble because he didn't speak a language I think the first thing he'd do would be learn that language.

That just feeds into the idea that Batman is so awesome that learning a whole loving language is something he can do in his spare time with no problems while running a corporation and fighting crime.

I actually really liked that moment - that Young Scott has enough empathy to see how disappointed Alex is at the way his relationship with his brother has gone, and to do something about it.

Please, when's the last time Bruce actually ran Wayne Enterprises? I thought he just held the majority of the stock and let Lucius Fox handle the day-to-day stuff.

That's what I assumed as well.

Still insane that he just learned Mandarin, but it's in character for Batman, at least.

I had just figured that since he'd already traveled throughout the Orient while he was training he'd have picked up some of the languages along the way.

From Superman Batman 2 that came out this week: There's a bad guy that can cross dimensions, and brought Batman and Superman to Earth. Superman meets his Earth 2 counterpart at his parents farm and starts freaking out, when this happens.

Before. Earth 2's Batman (the one married to Catwoman) is also around. You get to see their lives... before, y'know, explodo.

I don't know exactly, the first is from around the tie of Civil War, judging by the art, the second more recent. It was a different writer going back and doing the call back I think

I'm not totally sure on this, but I *think* the first part is the Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa/Steve McNiven run on the Marvel Knights Fantastic Four.

e: Yeah, #4 according to the internet. I don't remember the second part but it's probably still that same run considering McNiven only did 7 issues.

I'm not loyal to anything, General... except the dream.
I had a friend who'd had cancer for pretty much all his life, he died a little over a year back, but me and him both got into comics around the time Aguirre-Sacasa's Marvel Knights: 4 started and issue 4 was a big thing for him, I had no idea it had ever been followed up on because I wasn't reading the series at the time. Thank you for linking that.

I guess there has to be one thing I just can't help, Lois.
That run gets a bum rap because Jemas was pushing for it over Waid/Ringo's FF, but - while Waid/Ringo's FF is an all-time classic, Marvel Knights 4 was dang good in its own right.

Everyone else is getting teary-eyed about Reed keeping his promise to sit with a dying man. I'm wondering if him ignoring Susan's call led to others dying. I may be too cynical.

Probably not, but it's bound to have consequences. Reed ignoring his family to do things he feels are necessary is a theme with him.

Would you be my new best friends?

Another sweet Fantastic Four moment I always enjoyed - for backstory, this is from the Fantastic Four vs. X-Men mini-series, in which Kitty Pryde has lost control of her phasing power and looks set to drift away into nothingness. Reed has discovered an old journal he has no memory of writing that claims he knowingly flew himself, Sue, Ben and Johnny into the storm of Cosmic Rays, which has hugely strained relations within the group. Since Reed is basically falling apart the X-Men have turned to Doctor Doom to try and save Kitty. During Reed's darkest moment:

Superior Carnage #2. Context is that the Wizard is trying to start a new Frightful Four with Carnage in it. Currently, Kasady is brain dead, so Wizard is trying to control the consciousness of the symbiote itself. Wizard appears to be goofier than normal, like labeling a picture of Black Tarantula as "AGENT VENOM" and freaking out at Klaw when corrected.
