I agree. If DC has any two heroes that can lift the hammer, it would have to be Superman and Wonder Woman. So she may fare pretty well against Thor.

If there was any doubt before, after seeing all the asskickery in TWS, Cap clearly curbstombs. Sure Clooney Batman took some hits from Freeze, but he wouldn't land a hit on Cap regardless.

I think Thor may very well be able to defeat either Superman or Doomsday. Even Superman may have difficulty with Hulk as well, but his arsenal is so much larger he could handle him.

It would happen something like this.

Round 1 goes to team 2 - Thor and Superman tends to hold back, but the deciding factor is Superman's magic weakness

Round 2 goes to team 1, reason being is after a loss in round 1, Superman stops holding back first.

Round 3 goes to team 1 - Hulk and Thor say screw this, and start fighting each other.

Great series so far

Or maybe other characters need an empowerment. Fortunately for the most part, characters like Darkseid are a Justice League enemy not a Superman enemy these days.

Every now and then you see hints of putting Wonder Woman as a solid second behind Superman (and at the start of the New 52 at one point arguably ahead), but over time they always seem to do away with that.

# For a TV show, I'd have to vote Burn Notice. I could see some cool stuff happening with that. I'd pick Dexter as my second choice, but the overall format to Burn Notice would lend itself to a comic really well already.

For a movie, Back To The Future (or has that been done?)

@dcfox: I would say if after reading the second issue you still don't like the first issue then maybe this series is not for you. I found that not only was the second issue much more straightforward in storytelling, but it should answer most of your biggest questions about the first issue as well.

After reading the first issue, I had a ton of questions and it was clear the second issue would be make or break for the series -- I liked the first issue, but I liked it a lot more after the second issue made the storyline much more coherent too.

Well I did really enjoy the first issue. It has a very unique approach to storytelling, and the art is spot on. I tried to read it last night but I was dead tired and wasn't really making sense of it, but I just read it again and I'm looking forward to the next issue.

Whether this is a 3.5 or a 5, to me really depends on the next couple of issues. It is a solid start but at the same time, I feel it's the following issues that will really make or break it.

I'm going to give this a shot. It's not even my genre, but given the creative team I'll give it a shot and see what I think.

Also there is a sort of marriage between superheroes and comics. You can get good detective stories, SciFi, westerns etc in novels and movies, but short of recent Marvel movies and the Batman trilogy, we never get good superhero stories in other mediums - and even then , it's somewhat limiting as they try to keep the story grounded at the same time in movies and they only make so many before the next reboot etc.
