I turned this exact corner on the second watch (and not for the first time with Anderson).

I think it’s because I had my guard up against Korda the first time - I didn’t believe in his sincerity.

Rewatching the near-death sequences changed my mind.

Any time someone says "Yo Rock" to you it's the highest compliment.

I can’t find a picture of the panel but I swear I’ve read a classic Spidey comic where he’s singing the 67 theme song about himself. “Action is his reward”.

Damn, that would’ve been such a reveal. Unlike Raoul Silva taking ten minutes walking over from the elevator with his face obscured, then revealed to be… uh, a new character.

I so desperately wish SKYFALL had featured the Brosnan’s Bond (who was imprisoned in North Korea and had a huge falling out with M in his last film!) as the villain.

Nice write-up! DEATH AND RETURN and KNIGHTFALL were largely my intro into reading DC comics.

In the way of detours, have you read miniseries "Turning Points"? Specifically #4 but the whole series is worthwhile: KNIGHTFALL (and other major Batman stories) from Gordon's perspective.
