Bendis's idea. God bless Joe Q.

What? Do they see a still living Steve Rogers?

Don't want to spoil it for anyone, but pm me if you want more info.

Thanks man! It looks interesting.

As enjoyable as Frank Miller's Dark Knights writing is, it is NOT, nor should EVER, be considered canon. Dark Knight Returns, good book, phenomenal; in fact. DK2?

Not so much.

Dark Knight returns was top notch story telling. DK2!? DC still owes me money for that Stinker! :disappoin

DK2 takes WAY more flak than it should. Taken on its own, it's a solid little story. Compared to the original it doesn't really hold up.

The Punisher does not work outside the law: he breaks it.

Frank Castle's "mission" is a mockery of the law.

I don't know if its been posted or not but this banner says it all:http://www.comicboards.com/camb/

And Thumblefunk, I'm with you.
I enjoyed DK2 fine.
Lynn Varleys (sp?) coloring sucked chunks though...

Truer words were never spoken...

I hope so, but I don't believe he will be. I'd love for him to return somehow (Skull screws things up, or it was the latest model LMD, which bleeds and replicates the targets DNA), but don't have my hopes up for it.

Haven't read all of this thread, but there are plenty of possibilities for hope.
Fury and Co clearly had a plan for extraction when the Skulls actions
interrupted, so they could have still swapped him out from the ambulance.
Further, I believe it has been said that this was a direction that was
similar to where Brubaker was heading anyway, but it was accelerated for
Civil War.
If that is so, then Brubaker has a clear route back planned for Steve a
little further up the road.

DK2 gives you an idea of what would happen if Frank Castle took on the Batman costume.

Exactly. Batman trancends the law, as he obviously works outside as a vigilante, but respects it enough not to tap-dance all over it.

Granted, ALL superheroes, with the exceptions of the government endorsed teams, ARE vigilantes by definition.

Front

Is Batman still considered a Vigilante, since he does work with the Police and they accept his help AND don't try to arrest him.
