Steal This Pitch - Young Marple

INT.     THE PLATINUM SUITE   NIGHT

GENERAL KARKAROV & JANE are kissing on the lavish bedspread. JANE removes her handbag from her shoulder and throws it onto the bed. Two knitting needles and some twine fall out.

Two of KARKAROV's MEN sneak up behind JANE with submachine guns. KARKAROV looks to JANE's bag and smiles.

KARKAROV:

I will never know, why a pretty young thing like you spends so much time with her knitting.

JANE:

What can I say...

JANE grabs the knitting needles and in a flurry of martial art perfection takes out the two henchmen. She then arrives back at KARKAROV, a needle at his neck, his face awash with fear.

JANE:

... I'm old at heart

JANE punches KARKAROV knocking him out.

What Detroit can learn from Gotham

Arguably the greatest hero in the DC pantheon, Superman was long known to fight for "Truth, Justice and the American Way". Although nowadays his national identity is played down somewhat there's still a strong sense that Superman's very being is tied to America's self image. He represents hope, liberty, and most importantly a sense of aspiration. You could even argue that his bulletproof skin and ability to fly are not only mere superpowers but a statement that the American Way is impervious to assault and unrestricted in potential. However, this mantra hasn't always been accepted without reproach. In the 1978 film, when the Man of Steel informs Lois that he fights for the American Way, she wryly responds "You'll be fighting every elected official in this country." As is often the case, history has taught us to always listen to Lois.
