Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!'

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
This sounds absurd - and I kow the press reviews mention it - but could you spoilerfont the dancing ? It's just so much more entertaining when you don't know about it going in.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just saw this in a review of Without A Paddle, and I was surprised to realise I was surprised:
Dan (Green) is now a doctor with a healthy practice, but he continues to pile on the phobias he's collected since boyhood. Jerry (Lillard), a successful but bored business executive, has a terrific girlfriend who's fed up at his inability to commit. Tom (Shepard) is the black sheep, a grown-up adolescent whose only prospect is his next state-sponsored vacation in the pen.
He's playing a grownup! How cute! Go Seth!

Yes, he was the shogun -- in Japan rather than deposing the emperor they just put him farther and farther away from wielding actual power. So, the shogun actually ruled the country while the emperor lived a pampered existence in Kyoto. Or so I have understood.

That's my understanding too, Sumi. Shogun commanded the armies, did stuff, exercised power, and the emperor became a figurehead with nice clothes. Which really, you need good clothes for.

Yeah. With the proviso that, if the wrong person got to him, the emperor could order the shogun to suicide and he had to obey. I don't know if that ever happened, because I imagine securing the emperor was priority 1....

I took the liberty of editing Frank's post and spoilerfonted what you requested, Jim.

Cheers. Trust me, it's nicer to be surprised.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
These are sequel casting rumors.
I think Lachy Hulme would be better for it. His age is closer to Bale's, and if they're sticking more closely to current comics continuity, Mr. J's not much older than the Bat from what I can tell.
