There are definitely more "great" Batman stories out there than Superman ones. I know that the Death of Superman event is more of an entire DC/Justice League thing, but I'd put that up there.

Not that I am aware of... I would like to think that I am smart, and I don't walk around thinking I'm Superman. Why? What am I doing wrong!? @ "magic fanny pack". Doesn't prime Batman life 1,000 lbs a day in the comics? My fat can't do that...

"Should" is the real "s-word", you dingus. People relate to Batman because he's human. Superman is a damn alien with god-like power. When you try to make Superman more relative (*cough* Man of Steel) people hate him.

Try it, you dummy. Maybe put on those foam Hulk hands to save yourself on impacts.

Ever tried just running full speed with both arms extended and close-lining everyone in your path..?

I was just about to break down and cry about my life, but you've lifted my spirits in the nick of time... Do you know what a treasure Keanu is? An absolute hero and role model of a human being.

I don't sell comics, so I cannot speak to that aspect. As far as buying goes - MCS is excellent. I simply notice that there are consignments that the owner has requested ridiculous prices. I.e. Superman #75 CGC SS for $600... That'll never sell at that price.

Oh, definitely. I think the Russo Bros really wanted to: Make it look like all hope is lost after Thanos used the Time Stone to reverse Vision's death, pluck the final piece from his face, and complete the Infinity Gauntlet. Flip the page and make it seem like the heroes would in fact win with Thor coming to the rescue. Show Thor unwilling to sacrifice his pride for glory. Give Thanos the 'final laugh' with his retort. I'm not sure if simply snapping his fingers after Thor's assault would have felt as natural a response, y'know? I wasn't a big fan of that dialogue initially, but it hasn't bothered me the last 85 or so times I've watched it. Phenomenal movies, for sure!

That's not why, though. Thor intentionally did not go for the head because he wanted his revenge moment. "You're going to die for that." "I told you - you die for that." Good storytelling about sacrifice by the Russo Bros.

Not once you get to DD.

It just didn't pander enough to the casual fan to break that barrier. I also thought it'd top $3 billion. I still know people who haven't seen it - no matter how much I urge them. It's a 3-hour long movie that doesn't have much action until the back-9. Word of mouth among the casuals is that "Infinity War is better". Infinity War is a better action flick. Endgame is the best MCU film.

The sad thing is that CGC won't let me publicly insult my own father...

Bury them with you! Or cremate them with you!

To smell The Great Depression?

What a coincidence: My list is worth as much as I am...

Post doserino. Decided to splurge today I guess: Batman: Night of the Monster Men Batman & Flash: The Button Superman: Reborn Superman: The Oz Effect Ronin (Black Label) Batman: Damned #2 Batman: Damned #3

I'm in a different place from the OP, because I never buy a book to "flip". I know it doesn't 'work' on the majority of sellers, but I just communicate that it's for my personal collection, and be as nice and polite as possible (impossible, right? Me, nice?). I buy a decent amount on eBay, and I know that sellers have to compensate for fees, but sometimes the markups are excessive IMO. I float my honest Best Offer and include a note that it's "honestly the most I can offer, not trying to haggle". It doesn't seem to work in-person. I once tried to buy a DC Encyclopedia from a guy (priced MSRP $40/50), but the binding was completely destroyed, and I have to re-glue it. Wouldn't budge below MSRP. No one will ever buy it for a brand new price when it's destroyed...

I'd like to nominate cgcmod. Only suspended me for 2 days this time around.

Superman's an idea. Batman's an... Idol..? My dad said that Batman was always "cooler". He was never that big a Superman fan until Snyder's Man of Steel, though.
