So Iron Man is awesome and everything, but what’s also great about it is that, thanks to serendipitous casting, it causes Wonder Boys to retroactively offer a pretty good superhero crossover — Iron Man in bed with Spider-Man! How slashy!

Iron + Spider
Tony Stark plus Peter Parker equals … STARKERS?

Though I grant that they’re not quite as good as Wonder Boys’s other extranarrative superhero mash-up: Margie Gunderson in bed with Jack Trustworthy Colton.

Margie + Jack
OK, Grady Tripp, write us out of this one.

(Note: The film also includes a brief scene where Zed from Men in Black sort of flirts with Rachel Dawes from Batman Begins, but this does not qualify.)

I’m Scott David Herman, I’m an American living in Canada, and I’ve been running erasing.org since 1999.

The expatriate life is very glamorous. I live and work on the fifth floor of a mid-rise glass-and-concrete ant farm situated in the abandoned ruins of downtown Hamilton, that legendary city many call the most beautiful smoke-spewing slag heap in all of Southern Ontario.

I enjoy staring into open books, mentally rotating Shakespeare’s skeleton, stacking objects in my quote-unquote office, and chopping at the Parnassian permafrost in the company of my wife Laura.
