Its worth a shot, but like most wiki websites the information in interpreted by the fans instead of a publisher, so its hit or miss if the information is jumbled or not.

When you're selling stories, coming up with good stories is pretty important.  :P

Modern dc comic writers don't seem to have a problem with it.

Ehh...



The occasional Doom-level terrible comic aside, I concede the point.  I'm just not familiar enough with DC to make the comparison.  I only really follow a few Marvel comics and a couple non-Marvel/non-DC titles.  So it'd be like comparing the NFL to the NBA when all I'm watching is Rudy and the occasional Superbowl.

*shivers* eeh.. Frank Miller..

He's the living example of those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

This looks like it could be fun:
I can only accept Iron Fist if Luke Cage is also present.  It's a package deal, like Rocket Raccoon and Groot.  Or Spidey and Deadpool.  Or Iron Man and War M...

I began to wonder, given the franchise and popularity of x-men, and wolverine for decades now, right now with the release of Logan, this is basically more huge jackmans swansong for the role he's played for 17 years.

However, despite beliefs in the character being replaced with tits wolverine, like tits thor, really, that aren't happening, you don't build on the success of a character for decades only to replace them with an undeveloped stand in. You might build them up some, but a character with rich history doesn't just get tossed aside and fans expected to just love a replacement. Clark Kent is superman, Bruce Wayne is Batman, Diana of Themyscira is Wonder Woman, Steven Rogers will always be The captain america (even when hack writers try to make him a nazi and then double back on it), Bruce banner will always be Hulk (even when they try to inject multiculturalism insert Asian hulk), and so on.

But political bed wetting aside, whats been asked around is who, after some years, would be a pick for someone else to play the role of wolverine now that hugh jackman, whos really been the epitome of the character for almost 20 years, has given up the ghost. Just because he's ended the role doesn't mean someone else can't play the character, just like with superman, batman and the hulk.

And really, the only one right now I see could play him off as well, is Tom Hardy.



I can see it, only thing is, if by the time they decided to ask Hardy to do it, would he be to old to play the part?

I can relate to that.  But for me it was Edgar Rice Burroughs.  Then, later, on to Heinlein.  And others.
Burroughs was too formulaic. I could tell what was going to happen next very quickly. (Barsoom novels, didn't bother with the monkey-man books.)

I never read the novels.  I used to enjoy Tarzan in the old movies as a kid, but the TV show was silly.  I did't enjoy or didn't watch the newer Tarzan movies.  John Carter of Mars the movie, was pretty formulaic, but since I didn't read the novels, it was fresh.
