Singapore is racist, yo.

Also somewhat divergent in their use of the term "race."

Batman von Superman?  I like this new Teutonic influenced origin story for Batman.

I really think Batman needs more than that given his financing of the Justice League space station. He'd need John D. Rockefeller level wealth for that to be plausible and that's at least $300 billion in today's money.

So Magneto owns a giant radioactive hole in the ground?  Or is Genosha back?  I just re-read Grant Morrison's New X-Men run.

If you've built a space station you're probably not very rich anymore.

That's alot of details.

I'd prefer RIFTS Earth.

Is DC literally pants on the head retarded? Releasing Wonder Woman two months after Justice League?

I bet they looked at how X-Men and Cap can come out two months apart.  Question is whether the market can support that many superhero properties.

And Captain Marvel?  Hell, I'm down for that.

The difference between Marvel and DC (well, at least the Avengers themed movies) is that the Marvel movies interconnect with one another (which was a ballsy move, but one that seems to have paid off for them). So far Batman and Supes have been separate, and I'm not sure if they haven't missed the train on this one.

I think there might be another peak with Avengers 2, and then the superhero movies will likely taper off and hit a final climax with Avengers 3 (come on, we all know it's coming) - maybe with a mega crossover, movie rights permitting?

They're gonna do the Infinity Gauntlet.

Without, as far as I can tell, Adam Warlock.

Which means it will be awful.  (Why does Guardians of the Galaxy exist rather than a Warlock picture?  I'm really not looking forward to that; it could still be good, but I refuse to get even one hope up about it.  It has an excellent chance of being terrible on its own merits.)

[The Brain]

Apparently there's a town called Eromanga. I didn't need to know this.
