    The Asgardians are more progressive jailers than you might think

    well they used to hang you upside down while a snake dripped its venom in your eyes, but crime plummeted so quickly they had to release the snake due to budget cuts

    The preceding facts about Superman are:
    1. True.
    2. True.
    3. Not true.
    4. Varying wildly in all of the adaptations of Superman over the past twenty years. Clark Kent may always exist, but he has not always been mild mannered and has not worn glasses in the last couple of adaptations that I've seen of him.
    5. Not true.
    6. Not in the New 52!

    What people have on Superman is the overall superhero. The generic superhero is based on him, when you're using the idea of a superhero in parody or reference, but that's all that's left, for most people. That generic flies, is strong, wears a cape thing.

    The point is, how many people in the world know that Superman has cold breath?

    I don't think that's the point at all

    Well no, it isn't

    The point is how much do people know about Superman beyond "he is a superhero, with standard superhero powers" and "he wears red and blue with a big S on his chest"

    And I'm not saying that people don't know anything beyond that

    I just don't have a lot of faith in that, and I think there's a decent bit more to know about Superman

    And they may not know a whole lot about other superheroes either, but I think the other ones mentioned are a little bit easier to sum up than Superman is, despite his prototypical nature

    As a technologically advanced society without poverty or disease, they don't really want for much

    I suspect crime is very low indeed in Asgard, and as such they have little to no need for prisons or much of a punishment system at all

    When Odin is your leader I definitely see that being the case.

    Loki's also rich, white, and the son of their king. I doubt that inner city minority Asgardians receive the same treatment.

    Some of the names floating around include Drive‘s Ryan Gosling, No Country for Old Men’s Josh Brolin, True Blood‘s Joe Manganiello and Watchmen‘s Matthew Goode.


    You’ll notice that two of those actors have their share of gray hair. That’s intentional. Snyder reportedly wants a Batman in his 30s or 40s to fill the role, aiming to have Superman take on a gruff, experienced Batman.

    Speaking of Gosling I'm seeing Only God Forgives tomorrow. Let's see if it's as bad as most critics think it is.

    I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!

    Well, considering they've said a huge inspiration for the movie is the ending of Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns...

    I am sure that Loki being white has nothing to do with it

    there's no evidence whatsoever that the Asgardians have any problems with race discrimination at all

    also they don't really seem to have money, either. Which also fits with them being stupendously advanced so resources are kind of just there when you need them

    being a Prince, though, yeah. That probably helps.

    well, they need somewhere to toss Volstagg until he sobers up enough to go home, but otherwise you're probably right

    so Loki's probably chilling in a repurposed Drunk Tank

    superman defined the standard superhero, I think it's reductive to say that people "just" think of him as that

    But there was nothing in MoS to suggest that other superheroes existed in that world. In fact, if Batman had been around for several years then what was he doing when the Kryptonians threatened earth?

    He's been a doorman/chauffeur for several thousand years and Odin still won't give him the promotion he deserves.

    doorman =/= guardian of the sacred bifrost, gateway to the nine realms and path to Asgard
