In the last contest of round 1, Mouri Kogoro defeated Kaito Kuroba, as "Strategy Above the Depths" eked out a win against "Magician of the Silver Sky. This time, in the first contest of round 2, we have:
"The energies of our system will decay; the glory of the sun will be dimmed, and the earth, tideless and inert, will no longer tolerate the race which has for a moment disturbed its solitude. Man will go down into the pit, and all his thoughts will perish. The uneasy consciousness, which in this obscure corner has for a brief space broken the contented silence of the universe, will be at rest. Matter will know itself no longer. 'Imperishable monuments' and 'immortal deeds,' death itself, and love stronger than death, will be as though they had never been."
Movies 1, 2, and 3, The Time Bombed Skyscraper, The Fourteenth Target, and The Last Wizard of the Century had byes.
1.1: Captured in Her Eyes (4) defeated The Raven Chaser (13). 63.8%-36.2%
1.2: Countdown to Heaven (5) defeated Full Score of Fear (12). 81%-19%
1.3: The Phantom of Baker Street (6) defeated Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure (11). 90%-10%

1.5: Strategy Above the Depths (9) defeated Magician of the Silver Sky (8). 53.1%-46.9%
Props to "Strategy", the only movie newer than its opponent that a contest.

Pretty easy vote for "Strategy" for me hear. "The Time Bombed Skyscraped" is not a very good movie; no mystery and the action is sort of weird. Though it might be a bit better than 7 or 10, the words "underdeveloped" fit it very well.

I liked them about the same, actually. Movie 9 had the cool Kogoro scene, and Movie 1 had some nice Ran/Shinichi scenes and some good tense moments. Neither mystery is that great.
Movie 1's villain is a member of the "Detective Conan Disproportionate Response" club, which I respect, so I think I'll vote for that one.
Superman = Captain America > Aquaman = Hal Jordan > Wonder Woman > Barry Allen > Thor > Martian Manhunter > The Hulk > Wasp > Hawkeye > [power gap] > Iron Man = Batman > [power gap] > Hank Pym
