The most Ignorant thing you ever heard regarding a Comic Superhero...

So about couple of months ago when MK vs DC Universe was just about to release, i was in my local Gamestop store just browsing through games and i saw this group of people playing Super Smash Brothers Brawl and they were talking tot he girl was was workign at the Gamestop at that time and that is their conversation and i swear that this is exactly what i heard,

guy playing SSBB: Man i cannot wait to play MK vs DC...imagine Batman vs Superman..

GS Employee: Wait...why is Superman in this game? isn't he a Marvel character?

right after i heard that i was like WTF!!! she just did not said that...this is ignorance on a massive scale...i mean she didn't knew that Superman was from DC?...okay let m finish the converstaion between these two,

guy playing SSBB: Superman is not from Marvel...he is from DC...

GS Employee: Superman is DC? Since when?

guy playing SSBB: since 1938...

GS Employee: oh wow..i did not knew that..

and after that she went to do some other stuff and the guys left the store and i was just standing there wondering that i just witnessed the biggest act of ignorance regarding Superman. I mean how can she not know that Superman is from DC..evryone who know atleast a slight bit of pop culture should know that..so my question..have you encountered a similiar situation when someone infront of said something really ignorant and stupid regarding a comic book character?

and again i am NOT making this up...it really happened.

Maybe it's time for YOU to get your priorities straight when you actually get worked up over someone not knowing that Superman is a DC comics character.

No offense.

But I mean, REALLY. On the list of things that "everyone should know", which comic book company created Superman has got to be pretty damn close to the bottom of the list. And that's if that even makes the list at all.

Remember that you're getting worked up over freaking SUPERMAN.

Batman isn't a suphero, he has know superpowers.

Liek omg!

People asking after the spider man films "who is Gwen stacy". Course,its just a pet peeve. I have to agree with MrGeezer on this,if your getting worked up about this,you probably need to re-evaluate your priorities.mattykovax

Yeah, I don't dispute that not knowing that Superman is a DC character is "ignorant". But the TC seems to actually be getting worked up over this.

Of course to be fair, coming from me that's like the pot calling the kettle black, considering how often people here are telling me to "calm the **** down!"

AGREED

it's not that big of a deal

People who act like Batman is the greatest Superhero of all time after Dark Knight, that's ridiculous... Spawn is:DAce_WondersX

Too bad his movie was kind of... meh. People need to relax though. Of course people care when there is a big movie. Iron Man was the same deal and when the watchmen movie comes out expect something similar. We shouldn't be disappointed.

You are making me look like i threw a fit over this like one of those idiotic fanboys...the reason i was shocked was that there were posters in the entire store of various dc characters and she still didn't knew...that pretty ignorant even if you didn't knew anything about comics..and what's up with "freaking Superman"...

poeple saying that batman can beat superman. without kryptonite, or any previous planning, superman>>batmanlonewolf604

yeah i agree on it too...

Batman isn't a suphero, he has know superpowers.

Liek omg!

He has the superest power of all, being rich as sin. Everyone knows that money is the strongest power out there.

Comic books are for kids. Maybe it's time to grow up a bit.BrainSplatter89

Comic books ain't for kids anymore...bub...they used to be but since Watchmen..they are not

have you encountered a similiar situation when someone infront of said something really ignorant and stupid regarding a comic book character?Mcgnnis1

Capcom's Marvel Vs. Capcom game series somehow brainwashed them

[QUOTE="Mcgnnis1"]have you encountered a similiar situation when someone infront of said something really ignorant and stupid regarding a comic book character?Guyper

Some people dont even know spider-man is based off a comic book, i also HATE HATE HATE people who think TMNT stuff is based of a kids show. IT FRIGGEN ISNT, ITS BASED OFF A VERY VIOLENT AND DARK COMIC BOOK!! They all wear RED!!!

i remeber one time on the internet some guys was talking about the cons of the first TMNT movie in 1989 and that one of his cons were that they messed up splinters back story saying he originally really wasnt a rat by not staying true to the 80's cartoon.:| WTF!!!!!!!

I don't see what the appeal is with "superheroes" and comic books, so I couldn't really care less. Pretty worthless thing to get worked up over, if you ask me.DarkPrinceXC

Ah-ha! Sensitive area detected! Set aggravation cannons to maximum level! Ahem...

• Mr. Fantastic is just a really lame version of Stretch Armstrong.
• There's like, a thousand other superheroes perfectly capable of defeating Galactus.
• Tony Stark's suit is the world's most advanced and most powerful weapon.
• What did Richards ever build? A flying car; that's all.
