They were certainly above average for movie liscensed games. I never got to play through Return of the King proper, but I played the ever-loving shit out of the Two Towers.

In Return of the Kings you could play as Gandalf son.

I think I had the demo for two towers, the only thing I do remember was two trolls busting through a door in a castle siege.

im not a big comic afficiando, so can someone explain this?

how often do reboots take place? because obviously batman can't have been alive since 1938 up to the present day.

Time dissonance, and different runs. Sorta like how Superman started out in Action Comics but now is in Superman which is a seperate book entirely.

So, imagine one book a month for World's Greatest Detective and it makes a little more sense. 😛

They don't "reboot", they just conveniently ignore the fact that he should be like 80 years old.

It's like watching a show about people who are in high school or something that lasts like five years.

He'd be over a 100 or something or close to it. Batman was probably 30 in 1938.

The ignoring time passage does not sound right to me.

Why? Archie comics have been in print since the 1940's damn near, but Archie and the gang are still in High School.

It's called Fiction. >_>

Who cares about Archie.

There is no continuity there from my understanding. Much like most American cartoons.

I'm trying to figure out approximately how many different eras of canonicity there are in the DCU/MU. If there are multiple anyway.

You can name nearly any fiction like a comic or even a cartoon, this will often take place.

Hell, guess what the trope for this is called? Comic Book Time.

Generally, it is divided into Golden Age, Silver Age/Pre-Crisis, and Current/Post-Crisis, from what I know.

Jesus, Magneto's background is one of the exact reasons why this is so troublesome to wrap my head around. How do they account that he's specifically a person who was growing up during WW2 and still go with 'comic book time'? Or does time move in real time and they just make characters like that age real slow/make them immortal?

Neither. They ignore it completely. It's a fictional story, lol. Suspension of disbelief is required. If you're trying to work out a specific date, don't.

screw suspension of disbelief for something as big as time. it's for the weak.

character lifting a mountain without it simply collapsing on itself = ok. fine.

shitty, nonsensical and uneven (when is billy batson going to turn 18?) passing of time, never.

No.

You don't get to say that. Chump.
