  1. I really liked Iron Man 2 as well. I loved Howard Stark's Walt Disney moments, and just thought that it was a great story of reconnection with one's family history. Secondhand Lions is also a great movie, despite what Rotten Tomatoes says.

     

    Now, I do have quite the controversial opinion of The Dark Knight and particularly Heath Ledger's contributions to it. I don't like it and I really don't like the portrayal of Joker in it. I also feel that Heath Ledger's performance is lauded solely on it being his last major film. Nobody seems to acknowledge the mental toll the role took on him, and that in and of itself is sad and does admittedly contribute to my dislike of his portrayal.

  2. Dark Knight is my least​ favorite of the trilogy. I've also thought that Heath Ledger's performance as Joker is incredibly overrated. Yes, I said that! I'd honestly take Adam West era Joker over Dark Knight.

     

    As far as Logan is concerned, I haven't seen it so I can't say for sure that Logan > Dark Knight, but I can definitely believe it is. Hugh Jackman is Wolverine as much as RDJ is Tony Stark.

  3. It is like Dungeons and Dragons. I'd mostly compare it to the 3.5 edition, which it is heavily based on.

     

    An update on the writing: I hit about 4,500 words in the several hours I was working on the novel late last night. I also named a character after a major character in Terry Brooks' Shannara mythos, Jerle Shannara. The third series in the mythos also carries this character's name, and is one of my favorite trilogies Terry has written. My character's name is a contraction of Terry's character's name, simply Jershan. I felt it was a fitting homage to the author who inspired me to start writing fantasy.
