A quick Google search confirms my fleeting memory of Jerro the Merboy as an early love interest of Supergirl's.

I didn't remember the two-R spelling, either, but that's what shows up ...

I havn't read the new Ambush bug but but I'm pretty sure Merboy was a love interest of the pre-Teen Titans Wondergirl (the one that was Wonder Woman as a kid not Donna). Don't remember his name having two R's tho...

Jesus Christ: Iron Fist has a nice ring to it.

Dark Knight is on a tier above every other comic movie ever made--two tiers above every superhero movie ever made except Batman Begins. I think even the comic-movies-are-heresy crowd would be forced to admit that it was good, if they don't love it.

And I'd say that Jesus was definitely an Iron Fist, and that Brubaction was/were deliberately hinting at that.

For what it's worth, R.J. (& Brad), I not only haven't yet seen THE DARK KNIGHT, I can say that short of being held at gupoint & forced to watch it, I never will. I watch tons of movies, & I read tons of comics, but for whatever reason I prefer that the two don't cross-pollinate. I *think* I saw the first Batman flick back in the late '80s, but I'm not sure ... & in any event the number of superhero flicks I've watched since then can be summarized on one finger (the first SPIDER-MAN flick happened to be on cable a few years ago when I was even more bored than usual).

Mr. Curran, you are not the last person who has yet to view "The Dark Knight"; I am. I haven't viewed a "Batman" film since 1992 and I can't imagine wanting to. I don't even read Batman titles, but I still rebel against the rubber suits. By the way, what precisely would be wrong with having a dog's soul? You don't like dogs? I'm an atheist so I of course I don't believe in souls, but if I did, I would say my Siamese fighting fish had a soul.

Wait 'til you get to vol. 12 of Death Note.

It will SO blow your mind!

Oh my God, if Jesus was an Iron Fist that would be some of the best blasphemy ever. I don't think Marvel would want to deal with the press that would generate though.

After hearing about this "all Iron Fists die at the age of 33" thing, I'm convinced that Jesus was his generation's Iron Fist.
