Being both a comic book geek and a father, it is my duty to teach my daughter about all the nuanced characters of the Marvel, DC, and independent multi-verses. She’s already pretty well informed concerning the classics: Superman, Batman, Spiderman. All of them having had major movies since her birth helps my job, that’s for sure.

And now that the marketing for the 2nd movie is in full swing, she squeals with joy whenever the trailers come on.

she named him the only obvious thing an almost-4-year-old child would: Fire Pants.
