You don't KNOW weird

azuriteI swear to puppy I'm only awake because the AT&T guy is here to change Mom's Earthlink back to AT&T. I'm not their biggest fan, but for landline phone service (which Mom is rather insistent we have because cell phones are Not Reliable in an emergency), they're the only one we can get. Mom's not into digital phone, and if Gary wants to make the switch for his phone line, he's more than welcome to.
Anyway, I woke up a little before the AT&T guy's arrival with a very strange dream-- of the superhero variety. Well, superhero plus hero story. Talk about a crossover that could be epic and could be wanky: Batman meets Iron Man meets Lt. Parker from "Seven Days."
First off, let me disclaim this by saying Steph and I talked about "The Dark Knight" on DVD yesterday, I saw a guy with an "Iron Man" comic on the bus, and I stayed up till 4am last night to watch "Seven Days," one of my favorite old-school (hey, for me 1990s IS old school!) sci-fi programs.
This dream sort of worked out like a movie, and the more I'm awake, the faster it fades. But it seemed to go in sequential order from Batman to Iron Man to Lt. Parker, because Bats and Iron Man each disappeared before Parker got on the case. And in the last "movie" bit of my dream, there was a flashback of Iron Man (that is, Robert Downey, Jr. looking young) before he became Iron Man, talking about something critical that would eventually lead to his becoming Iron Man in the first place.
...For some reason that something was "oil," even though that's not what Stark Industries does or specializes in or what. But it's possible it could LEAD to it, if you think about it-- the need for oil prompts the creation of the arc reactor which ends up becoming HIS power source!
I'm not even sure what FORM of Batman (animated or live-action? Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney, or Bale?) it was, but I'm leaning toward the "Animated Series" one (esp. the one who had the "Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman" movie, since that was on my mind yesterday, despite talking about "The Dark Knight").
Now, I already know that it's DC meets Marvel, which usually never bodes well, but to bring a "real-life" guy (and a messed-up one, too; he could relate to Stark what with his alcoholism) into the fray? TBH, of all the heroes I know of and could possibly interact with Bats and Iron, WHY PARKER? I think it's only because I went to sleep having just watched him.
Was there a real plot? Did they all work together, fight, or what? I DON'T EVEN KNOW but just the idea is kind of awesome. SOMEBODY WRITE IT.
...Also, I totally need an icon for at least one of those fandoms.
