The Good: Walter's tempo list promises a few pretty cool things: Firstly, an iron man always swinging up the curve. Secondly, A frustrating pile of Plot Twist negation potential. Thirdly, he doubled down on Equipment hate. Against some other lists this could prove to be quite problematic. As Batman is known to enjoy some amount of curb-stomping in his heyday, I suspect we will see this list do exactly that at least a few times during this event.

The Bad: I am unsold on choosing 3 drop iron man over the dual affiliated 2. Although the hook-up can promise to get recently top-stacked equipment into the hand, a 2 drop swingng almost as hard as the 3 feels much more viable, and also opens up a secondary guardians team-up to take advantage of the pump he offers.

The Ugly: stacking 4 6 drops to make the dual legend work is a painful metric. At least this is lessened through team-up discards.
