I'm a huge Spidey fan, in fact, he's always been my favorite. But he had trouble with Doc Oc, Green Goblin, Rhino, etc., none of whom even compare to the superspeed, strength, heat vision, freeze breath, and flight of Superman.

Looking at it objectively, and not from a story writer's perspective, the man of steel would destroy Spider-Man and Batman at the same time. Batman might have a little better chance, if Supes wasn't really paying attention.

Great early reviews for Disney+ Ms. Marvel series:

High resistance armor vs. the Statue of Liberty or just a big boulder from 1000 ft.? How about Superman comes up at him from deep underground and lets him drop 2 miles into the Earth, then buries him? Hit him with a wrecking ball at 500 m.p.h. and it won't matter how high the armor's resistance is. His brain will be smashed on the inside of his skull.

1) if Wayne/batman was trained as a ninja, and that disappearing elusive, how would a ton pound boulder even hit Batman ?

2) Plus if it's a high tech, high resistant armor, its not only gonna shock absorb an object like a 1,000 pound boulder
but it's gonna offer substantial bodily projection for the man inside the armor.

3) And physically uprooting such enormous wide and heavy object such as the Statue of Liberty, would seem to take some time to pull that up
i wouldn't think Batman would just sit still, twirling his thumbs waiting for Superman to try to high hurdle such a massive object.

4) Also, just wondering, what would keep the bottom of the Liberty Statue from even crumbling underneath, much less that statue being stable
enough not only to be uprooted, and stable for something the size, width and mass of a giant mountain ?

I wish I had seen this one.

I have to say the opposite, if it's a surprise attack. Spider-man's Spidersense and Super Reflexes trumps Bat's reflexes. As far as if they know it's coming, Batman might have the edge.

I don't think Spidey's reflexes are a match for Supes superspeed though.

Spider-man's sense can detect danger up to a minute in advance...that in combination with his agility gives him a far better chance than HUMAN Batman lol

Maybe a better chance at defense, but even then, his Spidey sense doesn't tell him what the danger is...As for offense, Batman has a much better chance at being able to hurt Superman, if, as I said, Supes isn't paying attention.

That is why I said it also depends on preparation. However, people do discount Spidey's intelligence. That being said, Batman has a greater likelihood of having Kryptonite lying around. Without that though? No chance. Even if Batman somehow got the upper hand, all Supes has to say is "Martha" and Batman will fall to emotional pieces.

Meet the Black Panthers of the Multiverse
By Blair Marnell | Marvel.com
May 25, 2022

T’Challa took the Marvel Universe by storm when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced the Black Panther in FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #52. However, over the past six decades, Marvel’s multiverse has revealed T’Challa’s destiny doesn’t always lie in Wakanda – and his story doesn’t always have a happy ending.

On Wednesday, June 1, Jason Aaron and Jim Towe will introduce a new version of T’Challa in the pages of AVENGERS FOREVER #6. Before we tell you what we know about Vibranium Man, though, let’s take a look back at some of the other incarnations of T’Challa we’ve encountered over the years.

Coal Tiger

One of Jack Kirby’s early designs for Black Panther was radically different from his final costume. That design also came with a different codename for T’Challa. In AVENGERS (1963) #355, readers met Coal Tiger, a refugee from an alternate world where there was no Black Panther nor even a Wakanda. Regardless, this T’Challa was still an honorable man.

MCU Directors “Terrified” Of Disney’s “Disturbing” Treatment Toward Marvel Stars
By Kyle Burlingame | Inside The Magic
May 25, 2022

The Russo Brothers weigh in on the ongoing drama between studios and actors and their treatment in the movie industry and how they find it disturbing that people like Scarlett Johannson have to sue Disney for how they are treated.

The two directors definitely know their way around Marvel Studios as they have been involved in some of the best, if not the greatest MCU projects. The Russos worked on Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) and Captain America: Civil War (2016), and also worked on Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019) which were hailed as some of the best Marvel content ever made.

Over the past few years, the directors had the chance to work with most of the MCU actors due to the large-scale Avenger movies. So it’s no surprise that the Russo would be disappointed and even “disturbed” at how actors are being treated right now in the entertainment industry by studios or tech companies.

Disney+ Is Where Marvel’s Phase 4 Is Truly Shining
By Julia Delbel | ComingSoon.net
May 25, 2022

There’s a moment in “The Making of What If…?” episode of the Marvel Studios: Assembled docuseries in which Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige gives a key moment of insight on Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After speaking on how the studio had many plans for various movies after Avengers: Endgame, he says, “but it was Disney+ – and the idea of Disney+ – that really allowed us to roll up our sleeves and do things we hadn’t done before.”

The whole gimmick of the MCU from the beginning has been that it’s operated somewhat like a television series. Each movie serves as an “episode”, and each phase is a season of sorts. While the level of standalone-ness versus required knowledge varies, these films are all part of an overarching story. So to actually dive into the television series format only seemed like a natural fit for the studio.

Now, here we are, over a year and nearly a dozen projects into Phase 4, including six Disney+ series – WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, What If…?, Hawkeye, and Moon Knight. They’ve shed light on characters fans already knew, introduced new heroes and villains, and shown alternate versions of the MCU. And in doing all this, they’ve managed to take the franchise to places the movies both haven’t, and can’t go to.

AHOY TRUE BELIEVERS!

I am thinking of a thread title change. Originally, Reality was gracious enough for giving the thread its current title. In my opinion, the title should stay so the focus can remain on the MCU, which I prefer since Marvel/Disney keeps kicking DC/Warner Bros donkey butt basically all year and twice on Sundays. Yeah. I'm not gonna to stop saying that until-and-when DC/Warner Bros finally get a solid grip on overall direction of their DCEU.

That said, discussion has ventured into DC's domain. Plus, it is likely some may want talk to include other publishers, etc., beyond these two heavyweights.

So! Any ideas for a new thread title? I've been batting around:

• Comcs and Movies
• Marvel/DC Comics and Movies
• Comics Book Fans Assemble!

Any other suggestions?

Yes. It's true. I suggested the third example. I'm nerdy corny, okay? Deal with it.

It's about time! I don't know any comic readers that only read Marvel or DC, not to mention all the other smaller publications. Marvel has definitely kicked DCs rump, but there is some quality DC stuff too, I've been enjoying Titans, Doom Patrol, Watchmen and Pennyworth. RIP "Swamp Thing"

I vote for "Comics and Movies". Why limit to DC and Marvel? Here's one comic that I'm looking forward to see coming to Netflix later this year.

It sure feels like a lot of the original names are being ‘phased’ out.
