Oh, Grant Morrison. Truly, not every idea he had was a good one.

Happy birthday!

He's generally the best part of any of the four. The fight between Clark and the Evil Superman in III, for example (or just Evil Superman's shenanigans in general leading up to that point). Superman's angst over nuclear weapons in the fourth one, the little screwball comedy in the middle of the film… and that's about

We need to get to the Front? We need to save these people? I'm going in to that party? I'm going to go kill the guy I think is Ares?

I think we all fell hard for an Amazon Princess. Captain American would hardly be the only one doing it.

Like me!

Yeah, the shot of the other three huddled together and preparing for death was also included as part of her dawning realization of humanity's value, previously shaken by the Ludendorf reveal and Ares' insidious speech - Steve is a big part of that moment, the biggest part, but not the only part.

When you have Selina Kyle on speed dial, Princess Diana is much less impressive.

I think Mike Schorr was positioned to be that kind of character but never got there, and then there was Hercules/Champion, but Wonder Woman was not really interested.

Reeve's Superman certainly stayed interesting through all four of those movies. The rest of the movie around him, not so much (especially the fourth one), but his Superman always had something going on.

Jimmy Olsen, Action Man? The deuce, you say!

That reference is as elusive as Robert Denby!

Well, Ruby-Spears was created as a studio by people who left Hanna-Barbara, so there were some general similarities in the animation style and such. That might be a nicer way to say what you just said.

There's some kind of synergy in getting the two most Ditko-y superheroes in Marvel's stable together.

I don't think they'd let Daredevil beat the shit out of Spider-Man in his own movie.

Where he teamed up with Spidey on occasion. Actually, there was a two-parter featuring the Basilisk or something, I think.

Thundarr the Barbarian was made by Ruby-Spears, not Hanna-Barbara.

As long as Batman doesn't kill anyone or use a gun, I'll be happy.

There were lots of jokes. The main bad guy was the Joker. I mean, sure, you have to be a little sick to find them funny, but… c'mon, dude in a nurse outfit wearing facepaint trying to get his little doohickey to work… that's good for a laugh! And when he does get it to work it blows up a hospital. If that doesn't

I surely have dated people with different religious beliefs from my own (read: none). I dated a pagan once, even a Catholic. But I married a fellow atheist.
