My thoughts on crossovers

You know, I'm always invariably disappointed by Marvel and DC type crossovers. Mostly because they always seem to degenerate into who can beat whom. Don't get me wrong, I like a little healthy competition. But they never fight over anything FUN.

I don't CARE whether Storm could beat Wonder Woman (personally, I call shenanigans on that one, but YMMV) or anything like that. I want to see the characters compete over things that entertain ME.

Like Peter Parker and Dick Grayson in an angst-off! Come on, who can emo more effectively. They can even bring feisty red-haired exes!

Or Jason Todd and Bucky Barnes in the ex-dead ex-sidekick royal rumble!

Or Wonder Man and Max Lord in a competition regarding who can copy their brainwaves into as many mechanical options as possible.

Rogue and Kyle can compete over how many loved ones and complete strangers their affections have inadvertently caused to be maimed or killed.

Nick Fury and Amanda Waller get to have a chess game. With heroes and/or spies as actual playing pieces. If the victims are lucky, they might be informed that they're in a game. But they probably won't be.

And who wouldn't want to see Catwoman and Felicia Hardy have a steal-em-and-bang-em-not-necessarily-in-that-order competition?

Wouldn't that sort of thing be so much more fun?
