Only in comic book movies

[Chris Wallace]

I was having so much fun w/this in the general films section, I decided to do one specifically for comic book movies. Please try to give examples.
Only in comic book movies, does the traumatic, life-changing incident which triggers one's decision to fight or commit crimes magically endow one with sewing skills & the needed materials for one's wardrobe/arsenal (Spider-Man, Daredevil, Catwoman, Riddler).

Only in comic book movies does wearing 5-inch rubber horns, a scalloped cape & a black rubber suit w/a bat-like symbol constitute "dressing like a bat."

WITHOUT using the most powerful weapons at their disposal, such as a hurricane or an ice barrage.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Only in comic book movies does ANYONE continue to fire upon a subject who is clearly bulletproof (Superman, Hulk, Doom) or threaten someone with a gun after establishing that they can't be shot (Magneto).

Yeah. See that big "S" on his chest? It stands for You're SCREWED.

 

[Killgore]

Unless you've got Kryptonite bullets that is.

 

[Chris Wallace]

You'd think he'd make productive use of that time; call Lois, figure out what they're having for dinner. Maybe call the bank & pay a bill or two while these idiots fire 500 ineffectual rounds at him.

Only in comic book movies can a hero take the time to draw their symbol in gasoline to have it set fire dramatically, and nobody notices.

I take it that's something Brandon does.

 

[Mrh7448]

Only in Comic book movies can a guy just wear glasses as a disguise, and have nobody recognize him.

 

[Chris Wallace]

That's true; I wore glasses for nearly 20 years & when I switched to contacts, it took people a second but they ususally ID'd me pretty quickly. I remember when I first started wearing them-at age 5-that the other kids wouldn't recognize me.

[Chris Wallace]

I had put this in the General movies one, but it really belongs here:

[Chris Wallace]

and Daredevil, in the movie he trained himself.
