This is only one neighborhood of the Good Place, and it's Michael's first solo effort after two centuries of apprenticeship. Presumably there are other Good Place neighborhoods (done by angelic figures less susceptible to apocalyptic errors) where people of different cultures and ages would be as comfortable as the…

See also the Star-Spangled Kid, Invisible Kid, Color Kid, Kid Quantum, Kid Psycho, the Outlaw Kid, Kid Colt, etc. (Most of whom were within a few years of Wally's age, and none of whom had an older counterpart.)

It's like weddings— after the first, it's expected that later funerals will be smaller affairs with fewer people attending, especially from out of town.

And to think that once upon a time, our vagrant population were limited to microfilmed newspapers for their library entertainment!

To be fair, sometimes it's some variation of Harrison Wells telling Barry to run faster.

I was so frustrated the Earth-2 characters were content to call their world Earth-2, as if anyone ever thinks their timeline/earth is not the original one.

"Joe West, you don't know me, but I'm the Flash. I'm the fastest man alive. And I've traveled back in time from the future to this day and removed all the booze from your house. I'll be checking in on you periodically, and if I ever catch you on a bender I'll just travel back in time and stop you from starting it…

I want the movieverse kept far away from the TV worlds. But if they did do a Crisis, how about change it up so that the heroes actually win, and save the multiverse?

Fingers crossed that they just don't do it.

They missed a bet not calling it the Moscow Buffalo.

And Diana in particular. In her classic origin she was empowered at birth by the Greek gods, and was tearing tree stumps out of the ground at age three. Muscle mass has never been the key to her abilities.

Crossovers actually driving the story can be a problem. There's a lot to be said for the old-style crossover where one hero visits another's story for a bit, and the events and consequences are contained within the host's series.

Sustained.

Both the 60s movie and Nolan's did feature the "some days you just can't get rid of a bomb" dilemma.

Oh, I'm pretty sure both the shield and the bow are older inventions than that.

Though honestly, if you're going very grounded it's probably a better idea to file the serial numbers off. Because then you don't have to explain why the flying dude puts on a circus outfit, or why the billion year old aliens like to dress their spaceborne agents of intergalactic peace in green and white tights, or…

Exactly. I like Batman to have different tones (e.g., the animated Brave and the Bold series), but grim'n'gritty is definitely one of the well established options. But while, say, Superman also has a wide tonal range (laughing bully to bullies; borderline-sadistic screwball workplace comedy; planetary dad; perfect…

TDKR and Watchmen did spark off a big wave of grimdark in the 80s and early 90s with regular recurrences since. But not every character, and not all the time, the way the DC movies have been.

Absolutely. There's nothing at all wrong with a night battle or a space rescue. But there's something joyous about her flying through a blue sky, and the crossover with the Flash starting out in daylight rather than a dark alley helped cement what sort of story that was going to be.

And on a more practical level: the Marvel TV shows reference events and characters from the movies, but never vice versa.
