I asked her something about the possibility of a friendship.

Never seen a reaction like it Grin

Apparently I don't understand and am ridiculous

Prize of a beautiful picture to the first one who guesses who I suggested could be friends Wink

I’ve just googled Nerys Hughes

Dd did me a handy list/chart to explain things about the Marvel films. It did not help. I know Benedict Cumberbatch is Dr Strange. (I think) And I quite liked Ironman.

To be fair, Batman has probably got Spider-Man on his LinkedIn network.

Newnamefor2022 · 18/02/2022 22:12

Look I know this is an unpopular view but I think Spiderman and Batman could def be friends. They could moan about the interchangeable (but lovely) Marvel Chrises (Pratt and Hemsworth), have crushes on Wonder Woman and question Dr Strange’s American accent…

That is genius!

Do we know the answer yet?

foxlover47 · 18/02/2022 22:40

@MissAmbrosia my son and your daughter would talk for hours 🤣🤣 that is a great list !
Yea fans get proper angry when you dare to confuse any characters from their world of marvel or DC

foxlover47 · 18/02/2022 22:41

@coodawoodashooda it was that Batman and Spider-Man could become friends but they belong to different the universes of marvel and DC

PerditaPerdita · 18/02/2022 23:15

Her ex and her current bf?

Her dad and your new husband??

Pedalpushers · 18/02/2022 23:19

I actually feel like they would get on. Shared family trauma and the same billionaire techie/teen protoge dynamic as with Tony Stark.

But also, don't let your teen lay claim to things that were probably invented by her grandparents generation! I have enough of this with 7 year olds telling me I'm too old to like Pokemon. I'm sorry were you catching them all in 1999 Confused

Thank you!

lucillelarusso · 19/02/2022 18:12

Call them 'the Batman', 'the Spiderman' etc - makes them so angry. Also, shout "kerpow' "wham" and claim The Batman was much better when he was funny.

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 19/02/2022 18:53

There have been plenty of exciting DC and Marvel crossovers, OP.

Roll your eyes right back and tell her that there is more to these characters than what the MCU decides to put out there.

Hmph.

MorganKitten · 19/02/2022 19:16

@monroeagogo

The suggestion was Batman and Spider-Man could be friends

But apparently that's different universes

FFS

One is DC one is Marvel, they did a DV Vs Marvel and they weren’t friends in that
Aweefatcat · 19/02/2022 19:20

Welll..: I’m glad that I only read the OPs comments lol. I should have asked my husband the question as he would have guessed the answer straight away

Dibbydoos · 19/02/2022 19:30

Needs came into my flat one day by accident. She was friends with my landlord. Her grandkids thought the flat was empty and used a key to get in. We were all shocked; she came over to apologise. They were house watching!!!

AlmostExtinct · 19/02/2022 19:58

@monroeagogo I'm going to get really nerdy now, but a Batman / Spiderman crossover HAS happened.

Spider-Man and Batman: Disordered Minds Comic, way back in 1994/5

www.amazon.co.uk/Spider-Man-Batman-Disordered-Minds-DeMatteis/dp/0785101926?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

So you're not ridiculous. Your teenager might be annoyed at you knowing this information though Grin

CountryMouse22 · 19/02/2022 20:13

Jamie Dornan

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 19/02/2022 20:14

@CountryMouse22

Jamie Dornan
What about him?
Benjispruce5 · 19/02/2022 20:38

Your post is not clear. What are you talking about?

nitsandwormsdodger · 19/02/2022 20:40

Cats and dogs
Mum and dad
The old and the young
Nigel farrage and Megan markle

LorelaiDeservedBetter · 19/02/2022 21:05

I think Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson could get on and since they're currently Spiderman and Batman - I think your suggestion was valid OP.
I confuse universes all the time. My teen also eye rolls. My latest defence is that since everything is about the multi-verse now then of course DC and Marvel can co-exist. Hmm then I eye roll back at them

ThistleTits · 19/02/2022 21:28

esloquehay · 19/02/2022 21:36

Have I misunderstood, or has Robert scrawny Pattinson become Batman?! 😯🤯

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 19/02/2022 22:05

Pattinson was a surprising choice for sure but he seems to have done an amazing job with this one.

He's a good actor.
