I Have the Power!!!

Superhero films: now look what you've done. It was always going to end in tears, wasn't it? 
The Guardian Angels of yesteryear (apparently still about in the States, quelle surprise) weren't a patch on this level of self-delusion. Having to conform to some degree of transparency and regulation, even if really only prompted to do so by a compulsion to act out HK chopsocky films, has to be a sounder basis for effective vigilantism (for effective, read not getting murdered) than having queued a fortnight to get into Dark Knight first. Oh well, get out the popcorn, sit back and watch A&E departments worldwide fill up with runts in balaclavas...
'Can you hear me? Christopher Nolan! Bryan Singer! Sam Raimi! Your boys took one hell of a beating!'

P.S. Bagsies 'The Vacillator'.
P.P.S. Actually, someone'd better keep an eye on their site. You just know sooner or later one of them will start talking about their Road-to-Damascus moment in terms of having been "backed into a corner".
