The Quintessence order that a dance-off be performed to determine the DCU earth's greatest hero. The contestants are:
Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman
Flash
Green Lantern (Hal)
Aquaman
Martian Manhunter
Each hero gets 1 minute to bust his/her best moves on the dance floor of a major NY club in front of hundreds of clubbers (nobody else on the dance floor) with a top international DJ providing the beat.
No prep or training - they are thrown straight into it. Earth will be destroyed if they do not put in their best possible effort.
Who wins? Who embarrasses themself completely? And before you say it, no "Batdance FTW".
Batman actually is a really good dancer. So is Hal:
Bruce goes dancing all the time in his billionare playboy routine. He has to. And Hal used to take Carol out dancing like, once an issue. He still goes dancing pretty often. I see him doing a mean samba or tango. Batman probably has more of like straight up ballroom skills.
Clark, in my imagination, cannot dance: Louis probably can, but Clark going up always had trouble with girls and I imagine he's not all that self-confident on the dance floor.
I've never seen Wally dance. I imagine Bart could probably dance pretty well though.
Noted comics blogger, Scipio, has this to say about the Martian Manhunter's dancing skills: In a post titled
"I'm not saying he's gay, exactly...
... but, have you ever seen the Martian Manhunter dance?
Okay, you straight people may have never seen this sort of thing, but J'onn's what we call a 'dervish', one of those guys whose idea of dancing is twirling around in one place on the dance floor. Not one cool little Jackson 5 turnaround in the midst of other dancing. No, no. We're talking spinning; Stevie Nicks, Tonya Harding, Tasmanian Devil kind of stuff."
