To be fair Iron Fist totally does that stuff when he's fighting demons. Or trains.

Shageletic posted:I think that Nolan's Batman had an internal tension (unintentioned, if such a thing can be gleaned, but I'm guessing from the sheer awkardness of it all) with the no killing pledge from the get go, like someone previously said, he doesn't kill unless he sets up a Rube Goldberg type series of events to have you killed, from an out of control train to having a motorcycle set up with 50 cal bullets. Nolan's Batman is all about the transformation of man into legend, and the difference that exists between a legend and a lie. Nolan's Batman is an imperfect vessel who fucks up and compromises all the time. The years of claims that the end of The Dark Knight was pro-Bush ignore that Bruce knows exactly how dangerous and monstrous what he did was. Yes, you can and should see contradiction in the character. But there is a difference between someone who compromises their values and someone who just has complete disdain for criminals like BvS Batman.

The author of the Jesus stories originally killed him off but then after the fans clamoured for his return so much the author relented and made up a story as to how he was actually still alive.

It is kinda funny to me that ancient heroes like Herecles weren't heroes in the sense we think of, but rather "people who may or may not have been, but mostly were, douchbags and just happened to have notable exploits often due to extranormal powers".

That man could read a phone book and still project enough menace that you know you will come home to find your family dead I was thinking he could be one of Darksied's servents, but the only ones I could think of would the Desaad or Wunderbar, but I don't think either would really work.

There were rumors that IW would basically star Thanos as a solo movie of sorts, as he tracks down the stones. I really doubt that will be the case, but hopefully it indicates he'll get a plot with scenes beyond plotting from a space throne or growling at underlings. The concept art that was posted recently at least makes him look less dumb.

I always liked the start of Infinity War where Thanos is on Titan and he's just chilling on his farm until he starts noticing the future version of himself hanging out, and realizes what The Magus is doing.

It wasn't a future version, it was a DOPPLEGANGER who ended up being essentially identical to Thanos himself. He later fought, defeated and absorbed it to regain the part of himself he had lost.

It won't be a solo movie, but he won't just be a talking plot point like Ultron.

I think you can have dark and gritty pulps. I would actually be super behind a new Shadow movie, I love the character but I've actually not read a whole lot with him, nor seen the movie. I have heard some of the radio plays though.

There's two Batman stories, Batman and the Monster Men and Batman and the Mad Monk, both by Matt Wagner, that do a great job with a dark, violent pulp feel without going 'realistic'. I think it'd be a great fit for The Shadow. Hell that'd be a great direction for a future Batman movie.
