Link Ink: Tom Hardy Breaks Like Bane, Dark Horse Announces Different Same-Day-Digital Prices, and Wacom's Inkling in Action

Man, I am so jealous of that crew member getting broken.

The fact that Hardy did that pose goes to show he knows the characters history. Thats just awesome! Hopefully there will be a quasi back breaker move done on Batman as a nod to the comic's.

...do you know your link to the Hollywood Reporter article goes to #8 of 11 instead of the beginning?

Kind of bizarre that it plays the "Incredibles = conservative" trope without even getting into the "When everyone is super, NO ONE will be!" premise -- conservatives argue that the movie is about liberals trying to make everyone the same and not let anyone be exceptional.

I've never quite bought that interpretation. First of all, it's pretty much the premise of Harrison Bergeron, and Vonnegut was certainly no conservative. And second, the movie is hardly a gungho free-market parable -- it's pretty openly critical of private insurance companies, depicting them as more interested in turning a profit than serving the public. The hero is not the rich corporation serving its own self-interest; the hero is the cubicle drone who breaks the rules and puts other people's well-being ahead of profits. Sounds suspiciously like altruism to me.

Not that I think there's a deep political message there; The Incredibles, just like The Muppets, uses simple and recognizable tropes to demonstrate who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. Whatever deep messages it has, they're not about liberal/conservative/libertarian, they're about the importance of family and being yourself.

Now, Ghostbusters, on the other hand -- THAT movie has a clear Libertarian subtext.
