I see more connection to "In the Good Old Summertime".
Judy Garland involved with an unknown pen-pal, whom she hates when she meets him, but eventually falls in love.
Perhaps, but he was a serious actor when he was younger.
Good insight
I believe the "Whoa" effect would have been better if it had been Jimmy Stewart.

Okay, but can you apply that same logic to a Dementia ridden politician?

I agree with you. She is right.
It's okay to draw parallels of tyranny to nazism. Even if the tyranny isn't as bad as nazism, you shouldn't wait until it is as bad. If it's a bad road that leads to a bad end, don't let anyone go even a few feet down it.
Most Actresses are. Look at the Kardashians.
I was about an hour into the movie before I realized the irony of Sean Connery playing a reluctant spy, and people asking him if he is a spy and him answering "no"
Agreed
As much as Neeson did a good job for the role. A sequel should have had Bruce Campbell play Darkman. He even camos as Darkman's last disguise
Might be too on the nose for a movie called dark man.
Ya,
Also the badge throw seems to be a common trope

Never showing his face would probably be too cliche.
I think making it more Halloween themed would have actually made it less iconic. It would have just blended in with all of the many Halloween themed costumes, masks, and decorations that are out there.
Also, I don't have a problem with it noticeably being Shatner's face. It just brings the movie more into the real world where William Shatner exists.
Perhaps not super redundant in cinema history, but another line from this movie was seemingly copied.
John Wayne says <blockquote>I'll catch up with ya. I don't know when, but I'll catch up. Every time you turn around, expect to see me, 'cause one time you'll turn around and I'll be there.</blockquote>
And in Bend of the River (1952), Jimmy Stewart says
<blockquote>You'll be seeing me. You'll be seeing me. Everytime you bed down for the night, you'll look back to the darkness and wonder if I'm there. And some night, I will be. You'll be seeing me!</blockquote>
