I have a wish, I wish that once in a while a killed hero would just stay freaking dead.
No Spiderman 2's, no Bizarro Superman, no All new amazing batman.
I was incredibly bitter when they first killed Superman in his fight against Doomsday. I bought all of those comics, thought I was reading something completely historical, read the issue with Superman's funeral, and the other hero's sobbing, and thought it was amazing. Then what? 4 issues later, here comes Superman with a mullet. At that point I gathered up all of those comics threw them in my fire pit sprayed them with lighter fluid and chucked in a match.
I'm sure that there would have been riots in the old days if after his death scene, the house lights were blown out, and the audience started leaving and suddenly Romeo jumped up and yelled out "I dost fooled thou motherf%%kers"
Why would I believe that any hero is in any jeopardy? Ever.
Holy crap they broke Batman's back, who cares, here comes the all new and improved Batman.
