First of all, I love that icon. I would ask to use it, but I don't want to bite off of your style.
Second, Ian McKellan makes me wish I was a lithe, adorable 23 year old guy. Dang.
:)
Brandon Routh, in my opinion, looks like Tom Cruise must have at 18... earnest, ready, able, and oh-so-desperate not to show how very HOMOSEXUAL he is. And I thought I was the only one who noticed that!
I tend to agree to an extend that in the 70's, when I was a kid (dating m'self) that eithe ryou were a DC fan or a Marvel fan...but I did tend to buy mostly DC comics, and snuck X-men. X-men was my ONLY Marvel title (with Dazzeler in there because I'm a girl and she's a girl mutant and I was a sucker). I think also, that when you only HAVE $5 a week to spend, at least _I_ chose to buy the big titles, and they were JLA, Teen Titans and X-men. Books with as many super heros in them as possible, and USUALLY with characters in them that I could relate to.
I found it very interesting how Ian mentioned who their demographic is. I'm jewish, so that in itself is very interesting. As I grew up, I looked like Kitty Pryde and loved her.
Superman I have NO interest in seeing. The pictures from that movie look horrible. But X-Men? Yep. Looking forward to it. :)
DC vs Marvel: in the UK, you pretty much had to be a Marvel fan back in the '70s. This was in the days before specialist comics shops were a common sight in Britain; the first Forbidden Planet only opened in '79. As a result, the nascent comics fan was dependent on what few imports came through (which had often been part of a ship's ballast), and on Marvel's UK imprint, the imaginatively titled 'Marvel UK'.
Oh yes, you had to work to get your Justice League fix. Kids today don't know they're born...

Did you know that, in honour of his creators, they've decided that Ben Grimm, The Thing is Jewish too?
