And Batman is such a good detective he doesn't need to ask follow-up questions of his magic sci-fi chair/box/thing like... "What are ALL of their names?"

My personal fanwank is that there's only one Joker, but his past is in constant flux because he's basically chaos incarnate. If Batman had asked five minues later he would've gotten only one name, but it would be a completely different name than the three he got, and tomorrow he'd get six names and one of them is Bruce Wayne, and so on. The three Jokers thing is stupid and I'm ignoring it, basically.

site posted:What became of that whole THE JOKER'S TRUE IDENTITY WILL BE REVEALED!!! that happened a while back? Who is he really for sure this time? Batman asked the motherbox what the Joker's identity is. Instead of giving him a name, it said, "You know there are three of those assholes out there, right?" and Batman was too shocked to ask any follow-ups.

WORLD'S GREATEST DETECTIVE Also, as soon as he got told that, either the Jokers suddenly got really sloppy, or Batman suddenly realised that people can't be in 2 places at once.

The best idea I ever heard for Joker's real identity is that he is the one person who has survived throughout every Crisis or Crisis-type event, and the universe constantly fracturing and reforming around him has shattered his psyche, turning him into a total nihilist who can't comprehend any accountability for his actions because he thinks the entire past will be erased and reality recreated before he's able to substantially affect anything. No matter what they end up revealing, I'm going to pretend it's that.

Hmmm well that not asking any follow up questions sure makes the World's Greatest Detective sound like a pretty huge moron and having there be three jokers kinda craps on the whole yin/yang thing him and Bats have going on. So that's a bummer.

Sorry if this is spoilerific, it's about Rebirth: So, Calendar Man is magical somehow, shedding his skin every year, now? Did this come right out of left field, or is there some Morrison-esque Silver Age story that implies this?

Ryu wanders off to find more fights, Ken gets married to Eliza, Guile reconnects with his family, Chun-Li feels closure with her father's death, Blanka finds his mother, etc. Whether or not Zangief had a dance party with Gorbachev is up in the air. Or when you look at the game Guilty Gear, although Sol Badguy is the one to kill Justice, the events of pretty much every single ending happened because they don't rely on who gets to kill the big bad.

I have this collection of Street Angel: http://www.amazon.com/Street-Angel-Princess-Poverty-1/dp/1593620128 I see this collection exists: http://www.amazon.com/Street-Angel-Brian-Maruca/dp/1935233297 Is the second collection the same content or something new? I can't tell from the descriptions that I've found.

I mained a groove-broken version of Dan in CvS2 and I've never regretted that decision once. I was really sad when SF4 rebalances made him actually viable.

I used him in the dumb single-player mode of the PS1 SFA3 that I was borrowing from a friend. Around level 30 it became more difficult than I could manage and my friend would play his similarly leveled Ken or Ryu or whoever and just wipe me across the floor. It was dumb fun I guess.

Travis343 posted:I believe it is completely new. Huh. I'm not heavily invested in Calendar Man, nor would I really go to bat for him, but it seems like a weird place to go with his character. To me, he was always about being obsessed with holidays, but also completely crazy, which makes him not ... relatable, but understandable? His obsession was his weakness and his strength, such as it was. To give him this bizarre, mystical link to nature(?) makes him less interesting in my opinion, and kind of invalidates that frailty that his insanity brought to the table.

When you think of The Avengers, who's on the team? I figure Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Wasp, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch. You can take or leave Hulk and Vision.

For me the avengers are Cap, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Giant-Man, Wasp, Thor and maybe Vision. Unless I'm in a 90's mood in which case USAgent as well, and replace Hawkeye with Goliath, and Giant-Man with Hank Pym.

Cap, Iron Man, and Thor basically ARE the Avengers in the same way the Trinity are for the Justice League. You can absolutely have a line-up without them, but if there's a title with them in it, THAT's the main Avengers/League to me. I basically never read Avengers before Bendis, so my view's a hair skewed, but I'd probably have Cap, Thor, Iron Man, Widow, Captain Marvel (Carol), Spider-Man (any), Cage, Songbird (Avengers Forever was also an early read) and Hawkeye. Throw in Wasp or Ant-Man in a pinch.

For all that the Avengers are supposed to be "Earth's Mightiest Heroes", part of the team identity, to me, is the random-rear end assemblage of characters that can turn up as an Avengers roster. I don't have an iconic ideal line-up; it's more like like I'd be able to assign an Avengers Points value to every Marvel character, and as long as a roster hit some certain average Avengers Points rating per character, it would probably work just fine for me. At most, I could sort every character into two buckets: Iconic Avenger and Sure This Person Could Work As An Avenger, and make sure to pull a minimum of the "Avengers Points" from the first bucket. Even that seems unnecessary, though—the leather jacket garbage roster is still Avengers enough for my purposes.

To me I only consider Cap, Thor, and Iron Man must-haves, and beyond that the whole point of the Avengers is that the status of the team is constantly in flux. It's not like the Justice League where they'll just add new members but consider the "founding members" most important, to me the whole point of the Avengers is that team compositions are very fluid and prone to change (obviously reflective of which heroes they are or aren't willing to push, but yeah, to me the thematic counterpoint to JL is that the Avengers isn't a "membership for life" deal over just one job among many.
