You continue to amaze me with those Pre-Crisis gems. Well done 👆

"Now you've made me enormously fat!"

Good lord, lolz.

As I recall, you did lose in that thread, as usual

Glad we agree TWO Amazo's are not town level even with the full power of the JLA.

Watching Batman the Animated Series, decided to start with "I've got Batman in my basement."

It's about as out there as you'd expect, a "junior detective" kid Sherman rescues Batman after Penguin gasses him. Hilarious exchanges no doubt fueled by acid like Sherman's mom saying "You aren't making gun powder again, are you?"

But the craziest thing is how Batman kept the anti Penguin capsule in the visor of his Bat Mobile. Instead of in his belt, the obvious place.

Lot of fat good an anti-paralysis capsule does you if it's locked in the car.

Been thinking about a strategy against guns and have a brilliant idea.

Carry around a pocket full of ball bearings, and as soon as you see a gunman, throw them. The bullets will deflect off the ball bearings.

This could work in real life!

What do you think?

Lol... we parade what writers think but here is their thoughts on actual fights. They think completely different from what we as comic readers do. They feel that Invincible can beat Hulk, Superman, and Thanos (with the gauntlet)...

It looks like they're just generalizing the powers, e.g. "Both have super-strength." Atom Eve supposedly having the same level of power as Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet really epitomized that point. There was more to the Infinity Gauntlet than just matter manipulation too.

Superman could solo the Invincible roster.

Superman vs Ikon armor was kind of dumb.

Lot of ways Superman could have stopped him without hitting him. They were in an ocean, he could have covered him in a tsunami and froze it, then tossed the ball to Riker's Island.

Could have simply froze the ocean itself to slow him up and rescued Slades target.

Best punch ever.

I've gotta read DCeased over again, I read it all wrong.

I kept expecting a Marvel Zombies scenerio where all the heroes die, but I ended up getting a story full of hope and fun.

John Constantine outsmarting Trigon, both Supermen being awesome, Spectre finally settling a grudge match with Mxy (I knew he could do it!), plenty of nice character moments.

The one thing I felt was a missed opportunity was Anti-Life Superman in the sun, it felt like that was meant to be a much bigger deal. The sun getting cooler was even mentioned, maybe it was meant to depower Jonathan Kent or something. Instead they save him relatively easily and cure him.

That should be in the ownage thread

They should revisit some of those Armageddon 2000 alternative futures. The one where Superman became president was interesting (I realize we have the Obama Superman, but not quite the same). I agreed with Gardner when he went off about Superman disarming America, Superman had too much faith in the other countries following his lead and didn't consider the implications of making people too dependant on super powered police forces. Essentially it was a setup for Injustice, built on good intentions.

The one where he hooks up with Maxima had a lot of promise for an ongoing. You know, the one with the infamous cover of them kissing on Lois's grave.

The Batman Who Laughs is stupid. All it is, is Batman cosplaying as Joker. The entire Dark Multiverse is Batman cosplaying other characters.

How the heck did the Batmanhattan one even die? Before TBWL becomes Darkest Knight?

How powerful should he be if he was dead?

Seriously, why does every writer treat DC One Million like fodder?

Is Morrison hated by other writers?

havent read this but is that superman's cape?

^ We're dealing with Millarworld here, so that is most likely the Utopian's cape.

Same exact scene from Wanted.
