Mention Hank Pym in comics circles, and everyone just goes "oh yeah, the guy who flipped out and hit his wife that one time". But he was hardly the only hero to have a breakdown like that, and aside from that incident, he and Janet had a generally good marriage.

AAH. Finished picture! First one in what feels like ages. I've been profoundly uninspired.

Hank & Janet Pym (c) Marvel

Soooooooo...

...is Marvel gonna bring Janet back?

I mean, let's think about this:

-Janet is now one of the protagonists of the heavily-sucessful Marvel TV show "Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes". It would be very bad bussiness for Marvel to have all the fans of the current cartoon show pick up the comics only to find out that Janet is dead.

-What better way to generate hype for the upcoming movie "The Avengers" than by bring back Janet?

-Janet is a major superhero. She has history, going back to the 60s incarnation of the Avengers. She is one of the oldest (in real world timing) and most famous superheroines in the Marvel Universe.

Those kind of heroes NEVER stay dead. Remember when Captain America died? When Superman died? Or Batman, Donna Troy, Barry Allen, Mockingbird, Bucky or the Doom Patrol? Hell, every single X-Men major player has died at least once.

Janet is a major player, and major players don't stay dead. Good superheroes never die.

Everyone always giving Hank crap about slapping Jan. Well, I've got a Marvel comic where Hawkeye SLUGS Mockingbird.

And I like how everyone is willing to forget the many times Batman has punched one of his partners. Due to his desire to remain a Celibate Hero (mostly, I know about Damian Wayne, but even then he didn't offically marry Talia Al Ghul), his partners are the closest him he has to a wife. And he has been either physically or psychologically abusive to ALL of them at different points in his life.

But no, Batman is the "cool" hero, so we are willing to overlook HIS character flaws.

He's a better father than Superman (see Superman Returns, Family Guy episode "Padre de Familia", and Young Justice episode "Schooled")

That's only because DC won't let Clark and Lois conceive a child.

...In two out of three of the examples I just gave, they did. Plus, couldn't they just keep Lois under red sun rays?

Parodies and movie sequels don't count when it comes to comics canon.

DC just want to keep all Kryptonians as sterile for some reason. Sure, they could do as they say, but DC still balks at the idea of Superman actually conceiveing a child for some reason.

By the way, since parodies/movies/cartoon shows don't count, that also makes your original point moot. Superman was NEVER abusive or neglectful to his only canonical son, Christopher Kent.

And this also deviates from my main point. I was talking about the relation between Batman and his partners in terms of husband/wife (or uke/seme when it comes to Robin, Nightwing and Red Robin), NOT father/son or father/daughter.

The comparison should be be between Batman and an abusive husband, not an abusive parent, since that was my original point (that Batman is as much of an abusive husband as Hank Pym but no one calls out Batman on that).
