IIRC, in Ultimate Spider-Man, Peter took his mask off for Black Cat, whereupon she immediately freaked the hell out because the dashing, clever, sexy superhero she was panting for turned out to be a pimply high-school dork.

That seems like an entirely appropriate response to finding oneself in Milwaukee.

Counter-example: Iron Man�s origin...um...as ably demonstrated in his film. So I guess we wouldn�t really need to see that again.

The 20-30 minutes every superhero movie seems to spend on origin crap makes me think that every screenwriter needs to be forced to sit down and really absorb the first two pages of All Star Superman. Even for �no (public) name� superheroes, unless there�s a reason why the origin story is key, it can probably be compressed into a few minutes and scattered throughout the film.

E.g., why would you need an origin story for, say, Namor? �Imperius Rex!�, king of Atlantis, wears a Speedo, tries to mack on Sue Storm, pretty straightforward.

I wonder if the Black Panther movie is also an exception to the �origin story is unnecessary to the film and also not interesting� rule. And maybe Ant-Man too?

One of my favorite literary theories divides characters and stories into two types: dramatic and iconic.

Dramatic characters go through an arc over the course of their story. They change, the grow, they end up in a different place at the end of the story than where they started. Luke Skywalker and Harry Potter are good examples of a such characters. And stories featuring dramatic characters are mostly about that character and the challenges he faces and how they change him.

Iconic characters don't change very much (or at all) over the course of a story. They end up pretty much in the same place they started, and the story instead is about the challenges they face, the ways they surmount those challenges, and the other characters they meet along the way. James Bond, Indiana Jones, Sherlock Holmes, the detectives and attorneys on Law & Order - their stories are much more about the process of what they do than the way the things they do change the circumstances or inner lives of the main characters. The stories are procedural, not dramatic.

You'll notice that description of iconic characters covers pretty much every superhero character in existence. Which is a problem for Hollywood, because the standard template for Hollywood screenplays is built around the main character undergoing a dramatic arc. So when the time comes for someone to write a Hollywood screenplay for Spider-Man or Superman or Green Lantern or whoever, they are gravitationally attracted to the one kind of superhero story that does feature the main character undergoing a dramatic arc and changing over the course of the story - the origin story.

Which is why so many superhero movies have to spend their entire first act on the origin of the character and their powers, and their final act is always the main character coming to terms with their new superpowered life.

Alan Ladd was in a movie where they made the female lead stand in a ditch whenever they had a scene together.

Veronica Lake owed her entire career to the fact that she was one of the few actresses in Hollywood who, at 4' 11", didn't tower over Alan Ladd.

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 everything that's good about New York City, sparkling in the bright sunshine. It's Broadway and the fashion industry and the publishing industry and all the museums and Central Park and famous skyscrapers and the skating rink at Rockefeller Center and Columbia University and NYU and colorful ethnic neighborhoods with tons of excellent restaurants and conventions and tourists and the constant hum of new construction.

111 people died.

Also, is that the color of the floor or blood in the right side of the picture.

Often, rescuers had to dismember bodies to reach survivors among the wreckage.[7] One victim's right leg was trapped under an I-beam and had to be amputated by a surgeon, a task which was completed with a chainsaw.[13]

San Diego (which does not lack for good Mexican food) had a citywide chain of Mexican-Irish restaurant/bars called "Carlos Murphy's" at least back in the 1980s (seems to be defunct now).

Yeah that's a bad analysis of Modern Superman but it seems pretty spot-on for Gold/Silver Age Supes

It's essentially lifted verbatim from Jules Feiffer's essay on Superman in his 1965 book "The Great Comic Book Heroes"

So yeah, very gold/silver age.
