That's what I always thought about with Iron Man. In the earlier comics he didn't have any sort of protective eyepiece, so I guess he was pretty lucky no one ever tried to shoot him in the eye.

Your logic:

So the character can show emotion, maybe? Spider-Man covers his face, and he takes his mask off every chance he gets.

Y'know how the government is always trying to prove a correlation between kids absorbing a ton of cartoons and comic books when they're kids and their behavior later on as full-grown adults?

If they ever decide to check this place out we seriously need to lock Cubed in a closet for the day. I love how he talks like the Punisher. That's amazing.

ROFL. Seriously, no mere closet can hold Cubed's RIGHTEOUS FURY. JUSTICE CANNOT BE IMPRISONED!!!

Somehow, that explains a lot...

Nolan missed the mark, there.

I think Nolan came the closest that anyone can, and for the record, it took Christopher Nolan to make me a Batman fan again.

Still... I wish I could have gotten the movie WB wanted him to make, with the Riddler. But David Tennant instead of Leo DiCaprio.

Christ no.

No no...no.

No, Nolan is Garbage.

You and I will NEVER agree on that. But as long as we agree Platinum Dunes is shite, I can live with it.

There's some stuff in 'em I didn't care for. Not so much the first one, but definitely in the third one. It's neat, it was a blast opening night but once the adrenaline wears off it's really not good for much except tying a ribbon on that particular Batman universe.

I mean there's stuff in Burton's Batman I really hate, too (especially the second one). I'm like that; there's stuff I love and hate in just about anything and everything.

Re-watching the first season of the Adam West Batman, I think it holds up a little better than it's gotten credit for. I never get sick of the recurring opening scene, where all the Gotham City cops (all 5 of them ) are sitting around like a pack of helpless, whimpering puppies until Gordon picks up the Bat-Phone. "Saints preserve us, Commissioner! It's Sneakers O'Toole, out there refusin' ta take his sneakers off in the courtroom! That rapscallion!" "You're right as usual, Sgt. O'Hara! God knows there's only one man alive who can stop this dastardly villain!" Seriously, man. And how come Gordon never realizes that Batman has a f*cking Butler? He's casual friendly acquaintances with Alfred, for God's sake! Good stuff, man.

I know that was just a random tangent, I just couldn't stick it anywhere. Shut up, it's still my Birthday in a couple more time zones. I'll do what I f***in' wanna do, ya heard?

Spoiler:

Kord Industries gets a mention! Neat! Nice little piece of world-building, subtle as it is.

Neat little article altogether. I dig this kinda thing, helps set things up. Lots of nice foreshadowing and subtle wordplay in "Lex's" quotes.

Spoiler:

I and others find it interesting that he's clearly Alex Luthor, Jr. in this version, whereas in most other versions, most recently Smallville, his father's name was Lionel. Lex's family history has always been super sketchy anyways, it's one of the most-tinkered with bits in the whole mythology, so it's a minor note in the grand scheme of things. I won't be surprised one bit if it turns out Lex Sr.'s "sudden and unexpected" death was in some way Jr.'s fault.

Spoiler:

"Knightmare" Batman lends credence to the theory that the scenes with Batman in the desert fighting "Superman Soldiers" (and snapping one's neck) are part of a brief "dream" or "hypothetical" sequence. Probably shown, I'm guessing, as a backdrop to Bruce talking ominously about how Superman "has the power to wipe out the entire human race" and all that.

Also, you can now visit the official LexCorp website, although there's not much to it yet: http://www.lexcorp.io/#/home

That "scaly" background design for LexOS looks suspiciously like the standard "shorthand" design for Brainiac. That's neat.

Spoiler:

Not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, it's a good explanation as to why this Luthor looks younger than other versions. But on the other hand, I'd rather have the "real" Lex then just his son. This just kinda feels like a back door to have the real one step in just case this version is well received.

We'll see.
