I find it funny you feel it's aping the Nolan films i thought it was the trying to emulate the animated series with its anachronistic time period and technology. I felt it found its feet far earlier than people claim (I'd say episode 5ish of season 1 was where it got its shit in order without having to spell out who everyone is). It's light hearted and I thought it embraced its comic book origins quite well. I personally hope the second season explores more of what makes Batman Batman, why does he devote himself to physical perfection, why does he decide to become a detective etc. I loved Kevin Smith's pitch for Bruce Wayne at prep school and I think that would be awesome to be explored. The comics rarely have stories where Bruce Wayne and not a batman play a central role. I'd love for them to put their stamp on the mythology.
You said what I wanted to say better than I said it.

It's 90% the same suit style as Miles', except the top part's color is flipped.

I can understand that viewpoint as well. I just think the show crams too much Batman into the series. To be honest, I'd enjoy Gotham a lot more if Bruce and Alfred weren't a part of it. If the show focused 100% on Gordon, Bullock, and their desperate attempts to bring law and order to Gotham City, I'd be on board. My problem isn't with the cast, just the writing. I think season 2 has been much better than season 1, but I check out of the show the moment Bruce and Alfred are on screen.
As I said before, I'd have been more into the show of they kept the overt Batman ties to a minimum. Riddler and Penguin (since I love how they are handling the Penguin character on the show), max. The Joker stuff, as teases go, is fine, but don't actually introduce him. I like the idea of Jim going up against a corrupt city, which eventually leads to the introduction of Batman. I guess I'm one of the few that doesn't find pre-Batman Bruce Wayne particularly interesting. Batman Begins, for me, did an excellent job of portraying why Bruce became Batmab, and his mindset and psychology. I'm more interested in the cops v's mobsters, and how Gotham became so corrupt before Gordon started kicking ass and taking names.

Some of these posts make me wonder what the reaction would have been if this character dropped into frame.
"Who's that?"

Imagine if they dumped her into the frame...and made her half black half asian.

The words "PC" and "pandering" and "cunt" come to mind. Also, phrases like "diversity for the sake of diversity" and "lol tumblr."
If Gwen Stacy's in the MCU and she's NOT Spider-Woman, no.
I can't even--
No.
No, Marvel. This is the best Gwen Stacy. By leagues. "Queen of Fridged Girlfriends" isn't a compelling character.
I don't care if you need to send Avi Arad and Tom Rothman on 3-year vacations. YOU LET GWEN STACY BE SPIDER-WOMAN.

the fact that peter parker is still in high school in these movies will make it very difficult to introduce miles morales.
as much as i like miles, the one other thing peter has going for him more, is the more developed relationships he has with so many other marvel characters.
from his personal life alone, he has such a strong network of supportive friends who could, if sony wanted to, spawn into their own movies titles.
not to mention all the other marvel heroes & villains who are better/more interesting characters as a result of their relationship with PP/spidey.
the gwen stac's, maryjanes, aunt mays, human torches, harry osborns, flash thompsons… miles just doesn't have this 'repertoire' of diverse relations.
with peter you could even introduce ben reilly & Kaine, whom, after infinity wars is done, shouldn't be too difficult to bring into movies.

Ah, they could just keep Emma Stone and give her the role.
Mile's Hydra girlfriend could have been interesting to see. Ganke is pretty lame, but he works as a foil to Miles.
Miles is the cool one, Ganke the nerd. Harry is the cool one, Peter the nerd. I also really like Mile's relationship with ultimate MJ, Gwen, and Aunt May. There was such a sadness to their relationship, because Peter was gone, and Miles could never be Peter for them.
But yeah, high school Peter means no Miles.
I always thought it'd have been a cool Easter egg, tease, if in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, if that kid that was being bullied and Spidey swooped in to help was Miles. But I hated ASM1 and 2, so I guess it's good that they didn't taint Miles with that movie. What a waste of Emma Stone, though. I'd have loved to have seen her in more Spidey movies. I sill think she'd have been a better MJ.

What are you talking about? Do you think just because Jessica Drew exists they shouldn't introduce Spider-Gwen in all her awesomeness into the MCU as soon as superhumanly possible?

Ultimate Peter was still in HS when he ate a bullet for Cap.
Spider-Gwen is still coasting on the fact that she's a girl with a cool costume in a culture starved for lady superheroes. Her book is boring as shit, so once that novelty wears off and the series gets cancelled after two arcs, you'll never see her again outside of a team book.

Well she is half asian so that works.
Preach. Silk was by far the superior female spider book of the two

Silk is easily the best, too bad she's being treated like shit IMO.
You must not actually read comic books if you think Spider Gwen is good
You're probably right. All I read was the entire run of Spider-Verse (including Secret Wars) and the first TPB.
I mistakenly thought her series was one of about six enjoyable Marvel comics that year That's very true. I forget that Ultimate Peter was still in high school. So yeah, bring on Miles then! Have him be an underclassman when Peter is a senior.
I liked both. Damn people. Spider-Gwen hate sucks.
All I'm saying is if Gwen Stacy's in there someday and her only role is to have a police dad and fawn all over Peter Parker she's not worth it.
I could hug you

Can we call him Corporate Vision?Here's Vision from the Facebook footage:
I hated Spider-verse and despised how her character was introduced and used in that arc but I hear her solo book is pretty good.
well we don't really know that because there's never been a non Peter Parker spidey on film
In a post Wasp world who knows.
Here's Vision from the Facebook footage:
Wait, does that mean he was naked in Age of Ultron?
The thing about Cindy Moon is I hate how Slott fucking introduced her. "Hey here's a hot asian chick that wants to bang Spider-Man because of, uh, spider-mones." She literally showed up in like a tattered-yet-skintight 1 Million BC websuit for Spidey to go like oo la la good thing I'm not married in this dimension any more.
Know your readership, I guess.
He then tossed it to far more capable hands that desperately tried to give her some depth, but damn. Also not really a fan of the proto-Room Oldboy gimmick she's got going on. But if they want more Spider-dudes, they've gotta stretch that initial radioactive spider origin as far as it can go I guess. "What if there were more Radioactive Spiders? What if the Radioactive Spider wasn't finished biting people?" Slott, you fucking genius! Cheers, Bendis!
I love the idea of a kickass asian Spider-Hero more than anything, and I wish her book was doing better, but damn do I wish she had a better origin.

Superior Spider-Man is the best everything.
The birth issue of Spider-Woman was really fun and really tense. Her killing a hundred Skrulls ten seconds after having a c-section was pretty badass. I'm glad they didn't drag out her pregnancy.
This is correct

Miguel is the best spidey and therefore has the best costume by default.
