Welcome, I am Darkknight2149. I am primarily a fan of comic books and their various adaptations, as well as horror and other classic film franchises.

As far as the "DC vs. Marvel" rivalry goes, I'm really not biased when it comes to studios and publishers. Preferences are fine, but I've never understood the basing of opinions purely by the studio/publisher that makes it.

The original is such a classic. The first reboot wasn't that bad. RIP Leatherface

Seeing Wright's tweet makes me wish he was directing Spider-Man.
