Summary: The Joker delivers his punchline.

( Superman flew across the Eastern Seaboard so quickly that over two hundred airplanes experienced turbulence at the exact same moment. Wayne Manor grew from a speck to an estate in a blink. Superman hit a floor-to-ceiling window fast enough to pull the entire pane from its frame, peppering the walls as he sped down corridors to the source of Bruce’s dozen scents—blood, cologne, sweat, shampoo, adrenaline. And that cold, limp thing on the floor, that couldn’t be Bruce. It had no heartbeat and Bruce had the strongest heartbeat Clark had ever heard. Never missed a beat. )

Rewatched Star Trek

Fun, even when you can't see the line for the next showing waiting outside as you leave. And scream "Kirk is Spock's father!" at them.

Things I Want For The Sequel

*More supporting character love. Nowadays the TOS crew is pretty lilly-white and Y-chromosome in comparison to more modern ensembles, so liven things up. Nurse Chapel, Number One (and yes, she needs to be there because there should be SOMEONE with experience on the bridge, movie), Yeoman Rand, M'Ress, Arex, Carol Marcus, Gaila, new characters... can there be a lesbian head of security who wears a wifebeater under her uniform and wields those groovy TOS phaser rifles? All for, say aye? All opposed? Thought so.

*Total fantard here, but Trelane versus Q in an interstellar chess match, with the Squire's Ent-A crew against Q's Ent-E crew. Because John DeLancie is just that great as Q that it'd be a shame to never see him in the movies or squaring off against the TOS crew, the Squire of Gothos is bugfuck crazy enough to correct Star Trek XI's villain deficiency, and let's face it, Nemesis was a piss-poor send-off to the TNG crew. Have them spend most of the movie fighting each other to preserve "their" timeline, with debate among both crews about if what they're doing is right, then at the end they realize they're being manipulated (with some hinting from Q), team up, and wreck Trelane's shit by destroying his power source. Possibly by having Kirk ask a computer about the meaning of love. And maybe with some classic City On The Edge Of Forever craziness of having the destruction of the Kelvin and the ensuing deviations somehow dooming the entire universe unless someone makes a painful sacrifice.

YES, I AM THAT FAN, SHUT UP, I WANT IT. Plus, it'd correct the whole canon hole in STXI of the Romulans sitting around for 25 years without the Time Cops doing jack shit to correct the timeline. Q did it for the lulz!

Plus, would Q have a chance to snark on the Organians? SHIT YES HE WOULD!

*Andorians and Tellarites. I love those crazy fuckers. CLAP IF YOU LOVE SHRAN.

*Harry Mudd. You know you want that jive-ass motherfucker to be all up in Enterprise's shit, until he turns out to happen to have the McGuffin necessary to save the day. WHAT.
