Has this played out in the comic book world?

Yep. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns

Thank you Chip… that was entertaining in a very ****** up way. I say that with endearment.

I’ve never considered myself a nerd, despite my wife calling me one, but I do have area’s that really interest me more than the general population. Sci-fi, horror and music. Then I realize I am not even remotely geeky when I meet or hear total geeks.

On my local radio station, two of the side jocks took the reigns over and had a call-in Nerd Trivia. Like these two guys, most of them got into excruciating detail and opinions and just had hissy fits with each other. Entertaining on a whole new level of weirdness. Again… endearment.

Anyway, you can hear a similar nerd discussion/arguement/hissy fit here. Mostly Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, etc.
Look for this podcast... 7-19-13 DGS HOUR 3

Thanks for the link dude. Downloading that particular episode. Will give it a listen in a bit.

I hope you like it despite not knowing who any of the guys are. When you listen to it, a 3rd Jock - Mark Klose (an old guy like me) you can tell is just rolling his eyes and he makes everybody quite aware. I was laughing with him 

Ahem, don't we need to change the title of this thread?

Not just yet. Since this is a direct sequel to Superman, I'm of the mindset that they will flip flop back to give Supes top billing.

Stunned doesn't even begin to tell the story. This isn't a knock against him, I just think he is not the right fit based on his last turn in a Superhero costume. Dare Devil sucks. Sure, the writing was horrid, but Affleck wasn't any better in the role. Hell, maybe he can pull it off and come through in a big way. But my enthusiasm for the movie is tepid right now. I think Matt Damon would make a better Batman if I'm throwing out names.

Hey, the die is cast. There is no getting around the fact that Affleck is gonna be Batman. Might as well dig our heels in and hope his hot streak continues. If anyone can get Hostages out of Iran, it's f*cking Batman!
