Hell, Bruce or Clark would have been lucky to even save the 4, because DC movies have gone down a route of unrelenting grtty realism that makes good old super heroics virtually impossible. Bruce can\u2019t save the city without faking his own death; Clark can\u2019t save the world without becoming a murderer.<\/p>\n<p>But even in the darkest hours of the Marvel Universe, Tony Stark can damn well save 13 people plummeting to their certain death. Is it realistic? Hell no. But it was an awesome victory that both Tony and the audience needed at this point in the story, and by god it was heroic.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DC: -9<br \/>Marvel: 13<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>thefloatingfudge: batmanisagatewaydrug: We really need to talk about this scene a lot, because holy wow.
