In 1987, when Spider-Man finally tied the knot and married Mary Jane, Stan Lee held a real-life wedding at Shea Stadium as a publicity stunt.

Stan Lee performed the ceremony and had other Marvel heroes in the audience cheering on.

Canon things that we should not let fall into obscurity:

• Dick was an excellent basketball player and played on the school team

• Dick plays both the guitar AND the accordion

• Jason had a pet dog when he was itty bitty. The dog's name was Sparky

• Tim is a skater. He skateboards and is pretty damn good at it, both as Tim and Robin

• Tim and Bruce both like The Clash. Alfred is Britishly Offended by their music

•Jason loved books as a kid. To support this, Bruce had a mini library built right in his bedroom

•Alfred and Bruce collected first edition books ever since Bruce was a little kid. It's implied this tradition was also carried on with Bruce and Jason

•Damian steals items from his brothers. He's stolen a helmet from Jason, escrima sticks from Dick, possibly one of Tim's bo staffs and I'm 75% sure he's stolen one of his father's cowls

•Barry Allen's real name for a time was Barrence Allen.

•Tim was a boarding school kid. He spent the first half of his life in boarding schools and didn't go to a semi normal school until he moved in with Bruce and went to Gotham Academy.

•Tim did not drop out of high school, he was kicked out because his father did not pay the Brentwood boarding school tuition (because posh boarding schools don't let you attend if you have no means of paying or aren't there on scholarship). It's unclear if Tim ever finished high school or if he just got a GED.

•Correction!: After Brentwood, Tim did go back to a local high school. Unfortunately, he had to drop out again after Bruce died and Tim went on his infamous search. (Thanks everyone who pointed this out!)

•Cass is teaching herself how to read and gets very frustrated with it, but is stubbornly pushing through. We're very proud of her

•Duke has a Nest. He has his very own base of operations and it is stellar

•Steph's father was friends with Edward Nigma. The Riddler spent some time living in Steph's house with their family. They probably had to share a bathroom. (Imagine that chaos)

•Baby Steph dressed up in a cape and Super shirt and pretended to be Superman

•There are four members of the Dead Robin club: Jason, Damian, Steph, and Dick. He was once dead for about five minutes, killed by Lex Luthor before being rescusitated. Likewise, Steph's heart stopped before Leslie was able to revive her before squirrelling her away to Africa. Cass's nomination is up in the air as she has died but was not a Robin.

•Only Tim is member of the Thought Dead But Not Really Robin club

•Dick and Steph are members of both clubs and are considering getting punch cards.

•Duke is the lucky bastard to be part of neither club. He lives in terror of the day he gets a membership

•Damian tried to kill Victor Zsasz. He really thought he succeeded. But Victor survived and no one's really sure how, and the fact that Damian did his best to kill him is never mentioned again

•Steph can speak Swahili

•Roy Harper's original vice was heroin addiction due to being undercover. In New52 it was retconned into an alcohol addiction.

•Talia. Is. A. Good. Person. And. Morrison. Fucked. Her. Over.

•For a time, it was believed that Lady Shiva was Jason's birth mother

•It is unclear if Two Face has been disbarred from practicing law or not

Update: Sorry for any mistakes I made.

Let's look briefly at the Coffee Bean in Spider-Man comics!

Contrary to popular memory, Peter's college pals initially met up at a diner called the Silver Spoon (ASM 44, but also 46, 52, possibly 125).

The spread at the top of this post takes a lot from this place's layout. But as newcomer MJ might have pointed out, diners are so fifties. The modern teen needed someplace cooler and edgier to hang out. Somewhere more underground. Literally.

Maps place The Coffee Bean alternately in East Village or Tribeca. The beret and glasses? The lowercase Dante's Inferno quote? The wall-hung guitar? So hipster. Wait, wrong decade. So beatnik.

The OG Bean didn't show up much more frequently than the Silver Spoon (ASM 53, 59, and 82, most notably), but it's the one that stuck in the cultural imagination. I enjoy Tim Sale's take in Spider-Man: Blue with the unfinished basement look and cult film posters.

In early modern flashbacks, the location is plagued by a specific continuity problem: "then [character] leaps through the WINDOW!" from new writers who missed the fact that it's below ground. In ASM Annual '96, JRSr complies by raising the ceiling a level!

The Sensational Spider-Man Annual's approach to the Coffee Bean makes me a bit sad. Dialogue repeatedly emphasizes its unique character and long history and how well MJ knows the place. But it's drawn aboveground and totally generic. (This from an issue with a dozen Silver Age panels directly traced!)

It's not the first time that happens, but here feels like a critical failure of show-don't-tell. The eventual window smash is worth it, but... I'd argue this would work better set at the Silver Spoon (where MJ actually met the gang, old in an uncool way, aboveground) instead.

Brand New Day reestablishes a solid sense of place for the Coffee Bean. Brick and glass entryway, a logo that's less beatnik and more Starbuck, and an interior that reminds me of a Panera Bread.

(If it's supposed to be canon that the new more corporate look is due to renovations by Harry, that's been lost in the shuffle. But it would make sense to me. His effort at impressing Norman with a plan to make the Bean a chain store circa ASM 569 would extend his trend of editorializing his own memories.)

While it still teleports between Astor Place and Tribeca, this version has now had more consistent (and just more) appearances than the original. And, of course, it has a beautiful bank of windows to—

Ah, that's more like it.

The Coffee Bean has become a symbol of innocent nostalgia and a happier past. It was also (as designed by Romita Sr) a virtual bunker: not until 1977 would superheroics be written to take place inside the Coffee Bean. (ASM Annual #11—Romita Jr's first ever penciling job on Spider-Man, interestingly.)

As a silver age icon, the location was physically safe and interruption-free in a way that even Peter's apartments and Aunt May's house couldn't be. The architecture—and how it's changed—has been a large part of that symbolism, underappreciated as it sometimes is.
