Again if Xanatos hires Ghost or Spymaster to steal some of Iron Man's specs, he close that tech gap. Really Iron Man's tech seems to fall into the wrong hands, a lot.

That's still something they can do, have Superman be an optimist in a world dominated by cynicism. Hope without hopelessness, optimism without pessimism are meaningless, its like having good without...

I don't think that would have worked, you can't have Stilt-Man go from comic relief to you evil mastermind who decides to destroy DD. Really Stilt-Man doesn't seem like the type who would do this, he...

Was that Larry Craston or Alan Fagan? There are two different Mr. Fears running around.



What are basing that on? Larry Cranston has never shown much interest in anything besides hurting Matt...

I guess I am of two minds on this issue.

I was a bit annoyed when they choose Zod as the villain, because I already saw him on screen and was hoping for someone new. But I shouldn't be selfish,...

Well there are tons of super villains who have a personal grudge against DD, he does have his own rogues gallery after all, even if it is under used. Mr. Fear has tried to destroy DD's life before,...

See I have my doubts about that, Justin Hammer was able to remain a significant threat to Iron Man over the years, which seems to carry over to his daughter Justine. I don't think Hammer ever had a...

In Knauf's run, he is presented as a well intentioned extremist who is willing sacrifice his own life to achieve his aims of improving the human race, Fracation's Mandarin seems like such a...

All of that is true, again that is why other media is more important to Disney and WB. No comic book is going make a billion dollars. But again, I don't think DC and Marvel have that bad an output in...

To be fair though, Xanatos was willing to steal from Cyberbiotics and Tony is no fool, he wouldn't partner up with someone who is shady. So while Xanatos may not want to engage in all out with Tony,...

Which market are we talking about, the North American market or the European market? I would assume that European comics tend to sell better in Europe, while American comics tend to sell better in...

See that's another problem the Mandarin, he is more of an archetype then a real character, with each writer seeming to change his personality and motives every time, making the character kind of...

What is the point of comics, could be a bunch of things, it still might be somewhat profitable given the margins or maybe they keep releasing the comics to maintain copy right status over these...

I doubt Disney cares how many Iron Man issues are sold, Disney cares about how much money Iron Man makes in movies and merchandise. Disney did not buy Marvel into the comic book business, comic books...

Well that's nature of the beast, lets face it, neither Marvel or DC were ever art house studios, they were always profit driven, some creators got screwed over in the 40s and 60s. But really Marvel...

The thing is Xanatos has far more wisdom and emotional maturity then your average comic book super villain. Xanatos is not petty, especially compared to someone like Stane, who committed suicide...

Actually I think Tony fell off the wagon again, near the end of the Matt Fracation run.

To be fair Obadiah Stane was able to take over Tony's company through a campaign of psychological warfare, I don't see why Xanatos couldn't do the same and I would put Xanatos above Stane.

I don't think anyone here is saying that Superman should be aimed solely at comic book nerds in their 30s and 40s. But pandering to kids is a still a danger and doesn't good entertainment for anyone....

Does Cyborg have his own rogues gallery and supporting cast? If not, it would be hard to make a book about him.

Yeah, but that's just nostalgia, people have more nostalgia for the 80s then the 90s, but for my money I think the 90s cartoons hold up better today then the 80s ones do. Re-watching many of the 80s...

I would say cartoons from the 90s were way better then cartoons from the 80s and 70s, cartoons from the 70s are particularly bad. Frankly all the DCUA cartoons blow the Super Friends out of the water...

Yeah, but your uncle grew up in the USSR, its easier to be cynical there, when the promises of communism never came true and you ended up with a government that was as corrupt and oppressive as the...

Someone is being over dramatic. There is not a whole lot of convincing links between violence in the media and real violence.

The fact is today's kids are not kids from the 50s or 60s, writing...

Well the fact is we live in more cynical times then say the 50s and its easier for Batman to fit the zeitgeist then Superman. One thing you can kind of do, is make Superman stay the same, while the...
