Given how few modern day readers probably even remember Elliot S! Maggin, that feels both true and not a bad thing. More and more, Waid feels like one of the last of the old school maestros when it comes to wearing his Silver Age influences on his sleeve.
But that's the fantasy, isn't it? That's the hope. That somehow, someway, kind and decent people can find a way to reach even the most repellent narcissist and, through forgiveness, through example, fix their hearts.
Likely to happen in reality? No.
But it'll be even harder for it to ever, ever happen if no one believes that it can, or dreams that it could.

Not that I'm not enjoying what they're doing with Norman Osborn over at Marvel.
(And not that I expect either to stick for too long -- especially not with a new Superman movie on the way.)
But man, what a weird time to be redeeming billionaire villains, isn't it?
