This thought came to me recently as I was watching The Green Lantern (2011) movie.
As a person who bought the very first issue of 2000AD when he was a boy and later threw it away, I've never had a complete grasp of comic-books, or their heroes. Thus I was fairly interested in David "Close the Wardrobe Door" Carradine's delivery of the huge "difference between Batman and Superman" discussion in Kill Bill. It was quite novel for latter-day Tarantino, though I still don't think I deserved to sit through about 5 hours of crap before I got to hear it.
Anyway, it is the practice of marketers to maintain a second-tier of goodness to reinforce their main. For example, business-class airtravel isn't quite 1st-class, but it's a darn sight better experience than thrombosis.
So it is for The Green Lantern (T.G.L?)
It's also a little odd that its star - whatever his name is - (he's better looking than I am) has his own cologne endorsement - whatever it is.
Who's your favourite superhero? Why?
