Skwirl posted:It's just bigger. It's one of those things you don't want to think about too much. At some point in one of the Marvel DC crossovers it's mentioned that the Earth in DC is physically larger than the Earth in Marvel. Here's the statement in question, from JLA/Avengers #2.

Man, it's weird seeing Wolverine casually dropping 'demagogue' into his dialogue.

FMguru posted:Gotham always seemed like an amalgam of every dying passed-over northeastern city suffering from deindustrialization. It's Trenton and Camden and Baltimore and Atlantic City, with echoes of Youngstown and Detroit and Gary. Metropolis is New York City in the 2000's, Gotham is New York City in the 1970's. (I'm trying to give this a new spin.)

Frank Miller based Gotham in DKR off how he was mugged on his first day in New York, didn't he?

According to Denny O'Neill, Metropolis is New York above 14th Street, and Gotham is New York below 14th Street. Although he said that in the '70s, before a lot of gentrification happened.

I always thought of Gotham as Chicago but on the coast. Tall, cold and corrupt as hell.Tin Can Hit Man posted:To think there was a time when DC superheroes were perceived to be more inspirational than Marvel ones. Didn't DC's superheroes turn up in Marvel's world, see that things weren't as perfect as theirs, and immediately decide "well their superheroes must be uninspiring super-lameos who can't show their people true heroism"

I liked how the Flash was powerless when he got to the Marvel universe because the Speed Force didn't exist there, and how Darkseid got the Infinity Gauntlet but discarded it because the Infinity Gems are powerless in the DC universe.

Yeah, with there being no possible future reprints the originals have been ticking up in price. I posted a "what would save in a fire" pic on Instagram and the HC was one of the books I picked and I had an even dozen offers to buy it.

I feel like a lot of writers are too in love with rear end in a top hat Batman to show Bruce doing positive things in the community. Some of my favorite moments in the animated series were about Bruce doing nice things while trying to maintain his image as a slightly aloof and naive businessman.

Rhyno posted:I will always live Conroy's soft Bruce Wayne voice. It saddens me that the Arkham games and the recent garbo animated movies have him voice Bruce as basically Batman Lite. Hell, even New Adventures kinda made Bruce Wayne more like Batman, and you lose something there. I always liked how there was a clear distinction between the Batman voice, the public Bruce Wayne voice, and the "real" Bruce who talks to Alfred and Robin, which is closer to Batman but not quite as harsh.
