In Batman Vol 2 23 a short story was included called "The pit" in which:
At the age of 24, Bruce Wayne was training in Norway, involved in a death-match fight that had thus far lasted for 28 hours because he refused to kill.
A character known as "the Queen" leads these warriors that have be...0
Dr Poison's in Wonder Woman is revealed through the film to be Isabel Morrow. I hadn't heard of Dr. T O Morrow having any relations in other DC media, but the fact that they chose the same surname for two science based villains is rather interesting. Is there intended to be a connection here, or...
There was a movie I watched a couple of years ago, I can not remember the name of it but I remember the following:
There was middle aged man who had a watch with the ability to shoot darts from the side of it
There was a scene where thes other recruits were sharing the same room as each other (...

Here are things that you may need to know:
I first read this in an anthology which was used for a college class ca. 1995.
I remember that the cover was a picture of a starscape; nothing fancy, just a background of black with white stars. And the anthology title, too, was on there, I'm sure.

All of the Marvel and Avengers themed animated movies seemed at best like children oriented stories (Planet Hulk) and at worst like very cheap direct to video films (the various "Heroes United" features).
Are there any Marvel films of the same artistic caliber and adult tone of "Batman Year One...0
In the CW series, the Flash, the concept of time wraiths is a little confusing. (I know it's kinda late to ask since Season 3 just finished), but I was wondering, why didn't a time wraith attack Wells-Eobard? He stayed for 15 years in the 21'st century and was manipulating the timeline. Why didn'...
So today I found out that my best friend's sister got taken by a beast into a place called the Chamber of Secretions.
I went down there together with my bestie to try and rescue her using only 2 magical wooden sticks (1 broken) and a hysterical teacher.
Unfortunately, along the way I get sepa...
You should only read this question if you already saw the movie or are not afraid of spoilers. I cannot formulate this question without giving away crucial parts of the plot.

Pyrrharctia isabella (Isabella tiger moth) can be found in many cold regions, including the Arctic. The banded woolly bear larva emerges from the egg in the fall and overwinters in its caterpillar form, when it freezes solid. It survives being frozen by producing a cryoprotectant in its tissues. In the spring it thaws out and emerges to pupate. Once it emerges from its pupa as a moth it has only days to find a mate.
In most temperate climates, caterpillars become moths within months of hatching, but in the Arctic the summer period for vegetative growth – and hence feeding – is so short that the...
Has there ever been a human-usable "light" weapon other than the lightsabre?

I'm sorry if this is off topic, but it's something I have been wondering about
A lot of the times in the Star Wars questions, I see the Stars Wars wiki (wookiepedia I think it's called) being quoted as a reference, by both old and new users of the site, and nobody ever thinks twice about it

Then, s...
I am trying to remember a novel I read in the 1990s, although the book was probably much older. I don't really recall the main plot, but there was one incident that really stuck in my mind.
The episode I remember had a human spacecraft contacting aliens on a planet they passed near. The buildi...
I remember reading a fantasy book as a teenager (in the 80s, I think). In it, a boy had to save his father. All I can remember is that the dad was tied up between two posts...perhaps in a valley. To save his father, the boy had to hold his hand no matter what. His father turned into flame as ...
In the story The Fifth Head of Cerberus, the protagonist - whose real name is never mentioned, so I'll just call him "Number Five" as his father and aunt do - is essentially an experiment of his father's. Towards the end of the story he learns that he is

The blade (for want of a better term) length does not appear to be standard. I remember an expanded universe story featuring a character using lightsaber with an incredibly long reach, and let us not forget Yoda's teeny tiny lightsaber.
Is the length determined by the user, or does it's design ...

In the Philosopher's Stone, Dumbledore suspected that Quirrell is up to something. Dumbledore ordered Snape to keep an eye on Quirrell. In the Goblet of Fire, Moody is the Defense against the Dark arts Teacher. But that Moody is just a disguised of Barty Crouch Jr. No one in Hogwarts suspects Moo...
This is a short story I read a long time ago, almost certainly before 2000 and likely before 1990.
I don't recall if it was in a magazine or in a book/anthology.
It was probably published a decade or more before I read it, because technology is not present in anything beyond about mid-1970s lev...
The Ravenclaw House's motto is:

Given the answers received, if those question were asked today, they should be marked as star-wars-legends. So would it be worthwhile to have all the pre-decanonization questions marked as such?
If so, this will likely be a job for an automated script from Stack Exchange, rather than a user task...

I've been looking for a post apocalyptic nuclear war survival movie. I only remember a few bits and pieces, and hoping someone might be able to identify it. I believe it's set in Europe. Perhaps in Germany. Can't remember. Here's what I remember.
