About to go investigate Iron Man. Hooray! Superhero movies that don't make me want to lead an Equality Now! March down Sunset Boulevard. They pass the Bechdel test! Costumes that include both professional uniforms, real scientist clothing and functional female armor! Women using brains and kicking ass! No hapless females in need of rescue!
