I think the only place I've seen Iron Fist is in the Ultimate Spiderman TV Show I was watching in a fit of boredom a few weeks back. Is that still running? I actually enjoyed it, for all that it wasn't exactly very serious.
Season 2 just finished, season 3 is confirmed.
I like Ultimate Spider-Man, but I can't help but resent it a little as it's what follows up the superior Spectacular Spider-Man.
Iron Fist also appeared in Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, though not the same version. Kind of a given, as most of the Ultimate Spider-Man crew weren't teenagers in the original media.
And on that note, I like the fact that Bob points out both Luke Cage and Iron fist were part of Marvel's attempts to cash in on various trends (blacksploitation and Kung Fu/Asian mysticism respectively).

I think Bob's last statement is a backhanded insult on DC. As in, Marvel does something interesting each week while DC doesn't.
I took it as more of a fanboy-ish (and not in an insulting fashion) "let me get to other things." Because that's all it seems to be. there's a lot of stuff he's not covering when Marvel does this stuff.

I need someone to explain how Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver can be part of the next Avengers movie when they are tied to the X-Men license.
Because evidently Marvel had some limited amount of foresight and made sure these characters were bundled with The Avengers rather than the X-Men franchise. I mean, the only catch is they can't be called mutants or be labeled Magneto's kids, but since everyone who cares already knows who they are, I'm sure they'll just be like "fill in the blanks, dude!"

Yeah, this bubble has GOT to burst soon.
Yeah, they've been saying that for a decade now. Here's hoping it never does. If they scrape low enough, I might get a New Warriors series out of it.
...don't judge me....

DC wants to launch a lot of new shows, and Bob will talk about them once there's more news to hear about them. So far, I heard they want to make shows starring Commissioner Gordon, John Constantine, and now The Flash.
The Gordon one's greenlit. As for the other two, I'd love it if they could avoid fucking up.
the problem is, they have this huge trouble handling anything that's not Batman with the occasional exception of Superman. I'm pretty surprised at Arrow right now, because I figured they'd find a way to fuck it up in the first...Six minutes.
...Okay, let me make an exception: DCAU is some awesome stuff. Granted, a good chunk of that was Batman and Superman, but still. I have a feeling that if I didn't mention it, someone would call me on it.
