Agreed. Saying definitively that Bruce needs to be miserable ignores part of that same issue—that Bruce says (in his letter to Catwoman) that he wants to grow up past being the little boy warring on crime because of the death of his parents. I think there is something to everybody saying, “Batman has to be miserable”…

As a Netrunner player, they were not only playing correctly, but also using recent cards, and the scene was clearly written by someone who’s familiar with the game.
This series is a bit like eating sugar right out of the bag—sweet almost to the point of giving you a stomachache—but it is a fun, well-written read that is distant from the often-gloomy larger Marvel Universe.
That just replaces my previous confusion with new confusion. Like "Why?"
I don't know that I like it as much as Levi's work on Under the Skin or Jackie, but I enjoy it.
I can only assume that nobody wrote about Vision because they all assumed somebody else was going to write about it.
There are many Jeffs in the world, and many Toms as well. But *I* am Sancho.
There's a sign a few blocks from my workplace that says "Blue Lives REALLY Matter," which is sliding past "we support police" and diving headfirst into "black lives are worth less than cops'." I flip it the bird every time I drive past.
Bobby Bacala, you were too good for that world.
Coming soon to theaters near you… Tamagotchi.
I have fallen HARD back into Cities: Skylines. Someday I'll be able to keep my industrial zones happy and fully staffed… maybe this weekend I'll finally find the solution.
What I noticed replaying the trilogy is that Kaidan as a love interest comes across as insecure, particularly in ME3—in the first half of the game, he's constantly questioning whether you're still loyal to Cerberus, and in the second half, he's unsure and awkward about your relationship. I felt like we had to…
The sex workers are left out in the cold, though.
Stay out of my territory.
So long, Superior Foes.
I would love to read the "next generation" of X-Men as the actual X-Men. Cranky old Bruce Wayne in the Batcave, trying to direct his future Batmen. Geriatric Tony Stark held together by Iron Man armor and cyborg parts, becoming less and less human. Spider-Girl. Magneto realizing how implausibly old he's become, and…
The recent Amazing Spider-Man 1.1, .2, etc. going back to the Amazing Fantasy days were BIZARRE in that regard, mixing in modern technology with origin-story Spidey (down to the art style).
Spider-Man was the first one I thought of, ESPECIALLY because of events like "One More Day" that were meant to keep him forever young. But he's got nothing in common with the actual young people today.
Also interesting to think of Spider-Man, Iron Man, etc. as the baby boomer forebears who keep bumping to the front of the Marvel Universe, crowding out younger, newer superheroes.
