Yes.

Any question that starts with "Is Batman the best..."

Yes.

Can't believe Season Pass doesn't get me the skins, what a f*cking rip off.

You buy it not even knowing what you're getting - assuming (like every other game) you'll get everything they do for like a year.

@novi_homines: Might have made my point badly there.

Stane, Hammer and Killian all wanted money as their endgame - screwing over Stark was a bonus for all of them along the way. The Golden Boy / Bitter Rivals / Jilted Partner are the only differences between them, but even that's a minor difference in the source of their grudge as their goals are the same.

To use your Dark Knight Trilogy analogy yes Ra's was aiming to destroy Gotham City - but it was nothing personal to Wayne as it was his plan for a long time (as seen by him recruiting Wayne from prison in the first place).

Joker wanted to destroy the people of Gotham, by taking away their symbols (Dent primarily and Batman if he could), and maybe make Wayne see the people of Gotham aren't worth saving. This Joker was fascinated by other people losing their sanity - it's why he once he saw what he had done to Dent he didn't care that he was still alive, he'd done far more damage that he'd hoped and was captivated by how Dent had lost it. It's made more obvious when he doesn't care if he lives or dies in that very room with the gun to his head as he'd broken one symbol that even disheartened Wayne (seen in his speech with the Gordon's hostage).

Then Bane wasn't even the villain of Rises, Talia wanted to hurt Wayne by taking away what was most precious to him to avenge her father - and wanted to be close enough to see it in the whites of his eyes as she did it. Destroying Gotham was a means to an end for her, and again she could have died happy knowing Wayne himself suffered.

So that's why I say Iron Man 1, 2 and Three have the same villain. The only exception (and why I genuinely think IM2 is the best of all 3 by a tiny fraction) is Vanko. He wanted to hurt Stark and didn't care how he did it. He would have rotted in that cell smiling thinking he'd humiliated Stark (make god bleed / stop believing yadda yadda) and exposing his plagiarized tech without Hammer busting him out just for him to help take out a corporate rival.

Three adds nothing to the table, and people saying Stark used "detective work" have been watching far too much CSI and taken Deus Ex Machina to the ridiculous extreme for an incredibly applicable science of deduction.

It's funny, as where people are praising the biggest risk they took - The Mandarin - it's really the biggest chicken move of the film, after it's been teased since the first movie.

This movie has Stark suffer from anxiety attacks - it's hardly post traumatic stress as he shrugs it off when it's convenient. It should have tackled how Stark feels exposed without his armour against a force he can't understand - magic / cosmic energy. It's why the trick with the Mandarin was a real bummer, because he would have been perfect for a way for Stark to relate this threat to something he can handle. As Iron Man's armour is a box of tricks, so are the Mandarins ten rings.

The Iron Man movies have had the same villain 3 times now. Stane, Hammer and Killian all wanted the controlling interest in warfare playing to both sides for money. In all the trailers you're led to believe that Mandarin is going to attack Stark due to his western symbolism of money being power, which a religious (cause they can't just call them Al Qaeda) terrorist cell like the Ten Rings would use their "blessed" and "supernatural" powers to defeat him.

Yes I'm telling professionals how to write their movies - it's called criticism.

TROUSERS ALL THE WAY DOWN.

DS is fading out as he's getting a bad rep, Sinestro is picking up his slack though.

Every character has a really sh*tty way to play them, but some are more obvious than others - I had a nightmare of a time with a Raven that only used the Ermac style grab...

Edit: The actual cheapest character I've found is Grundy, you can get a free 52% combo out of nothing it's unbelievably easy to do as his moves take so much time to animate - and his armour is bananas.

I stopped at ASM 700. Didn't like it, not going to buy it.

They say vote with your money but f*ck all difference that's made.

Last issues got a genuine OH SH*T out of me when I was craftily reading it at work.

Cannot wait for this.

Is gravity at fault for people falling over?

They should just not make a big deal out of it, as it isn't.
