Shakespeare invented the modern character, so you're getting him through more indirect sources.

I'm in no way a purist when it comes to comic book properties being taken into another medium. We don't get NickToons here, so if it's on some Canadian equivalent, I'll check it out.

I never got Shakespere.

As for the Iron Man DVD, before anybody lobs my head off for getting the Wal-Mart 2-pack instead of the Ultimate Edition with digial comic, please remember the following

-I'm low on funds
-Someday, when I'm not low on funds I want to get a Blu-Ray player, and the Blu-Ray edition has all the 8000 hours of bonus footage
-the 2-pack's other disk also has the digital comic, plus a sampler of the soundtrack, some promo thing for Marvel Kids.com and Wal-Mart's selling of Marvel toys, some forgetable thingy and the other reason I picked this one up: a full episode of the new Armored Adventures cartoon well before it's Spring release on Nicktoons Network

If your a purist, your going to hate this show, but if your looking for a fun take on the series, with some decent writing, I see potential. Whether or not the full series lives up to that potential is another story. Spaz Pepper may end up being the first target, as well as "just to be there" Happy. I like Tony and Rhodey, though. And the villains seems to be something to watch. So, I'm a bit more hopeful than I was. Hopefully this goes as well as X-Men:Evolution. Hopefully.
