Twenty Facts

So I recently got tagged and by convention I'm to provide twenty facts about myself, because society today loves to know more about peoples affairs.

 

1. I'm British and of course as you'd expect I drink a large amount of tea as a result. I am just a walking stereotype.

 

2. Everyone calls Batman the greatest superhero. They're wrong, that's Superman. Anyone who thinks Batman could wipe the floor with Superman in a fight is an idiot

 

3. I'm curious about Batman v Superman but equally terrified. Dark, gritty and monotone may suit the Dark Knight but not the Man of Steel. Hopefully it's simply a case that they chose a few scenes just to show off Batman. Alas I fear that may not be the case. I'm also worried that in the Man of Steel sequel Superman is going to be forced to play second fiddle so Batman can sell tickets.

 

4. I am still not a fan of Aquadrogo, but unlike most of the internet which has now done a U-turn with the first picture of him in the suit, I was rather interested in Batfleck when he was first announced.

 

5. Despite all my bashing I do love the character of Batman.

 

6. Honestly I don't blindly hate on the New 52 like most kids these days. I actually think it's a nice idea and some of the stories have been splendid. I would highly recommend Scott Snyder's Batman, Geoff John's brief run on Superman as well as the ongoing Justice League series. I also recently picked up the Martian Manhunter comic. That's great as well and I'd recommend you take a look.

 

7. My favourite Marvel character is Magneto. I just find him compelling as a character and love his friendship with Charles Xavier. The fact that I love McKellen/Stewart and Fassbender/McAvoy in the roles probably helps as well.

 

8. I'm a massive fan of Star Trek the Next Generation and genuinely think a great idea for a television series would be something of a similar format onboard an Imperial Star Destroyer. Get on it Disney.

 

9. Shock and horror. Superman is my favourite DC character. But the friendship between Batman and Superman is quite possibly my favourite relationship in comics.

 

10. Honestly I don't follow Marvel too much in the comics. I know bits and bobs but not much, I honestly follow them more on the big screen. Speaking of the big screen my favourite MCU film is a three way tie between Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Iron Man and The Avengers.

 

11. For the longest time Iron Man held the spot of my favourite character in the MCU but honestly with the Winter Soldier and Age of Ultron Captain America has grown on me. I'm not even American and he makes me feel patriotic. I'd possibly go so far as to say he's maybe my favourite. It will sure be interesting when he and Stark find themselves on the opposite end of the argument.

 

12. I don't watch too much tv but anyone who knows me knows how much I love Doctor Who. I also enjoy watching Sherlock, Breaking Bad, Star Wars Rebels and of course the Bruce Timm era animated series.

 

13. Star Wars Rebels is a brilliant tv show. If you claim to be a Star Wars fan you should enjoy it, if not what's wrong with you.

 

14. My personal favourite film of all time is Empire Strikes Back. I really have to take my hand off to that film.

 

15. I'd happily argue that some of the greatest superhero films are sequels.

-Superman II

-Spiderman II

-X2: X-men United

-Captain America: The Winter Soldier

-The Dark Knight

 

16. Superman IV: The Quest for Peace broke my heart when I first saw it.

 

17. I miss Christopher Reeves. He was the definitive Superman. That being said I think Henry Cavill is good in the role as well. Hopefully he'll have better material to work with in the future.

 

18. Arkham Knight has consumed the last four days of my life.

 

19. I originally only took up the role of Batman for the DC Comics Stories group so I could write 'When World's Collide' but since then I've had an absolute blast writing him. I love writing Superman as well, though there is no doubt he is far more difficult to write for. Writing the Justice League comic is slowly making me go grey.

 

20. I doubt anyone will read all twenty facts. I wouldn't. But seriously thanks if you did read this it means a lot to me that you care <3.

 

This is the part where I tag people to have them provide twenty interesting facts about themselves so here we go!
