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.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
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.

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.

Isn't AD approximately the same age as Bale? 30 somethingish?

Bale is 30, but looks closer to 25. Denisof is 38, and looks it, not that that's a bad thing. Hulme is in his early 30s (33, I think), and looks late 20s/early 30s. He also looks more like the Joker, to my eyes.
