Happy Easter from Superman!
« on: April 05, 2010, 12:02:11 AM »
I have no idea what the original context of this panel is, but I have a hard time believing no one at DC Comics saw it without thinking, "Maybe having Superman chuck a cross into the atmosphere might offend someone."

Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.

Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

He's Better!

Superman has been called an allegory for Jesus. So let's just assume Jesus = Superman.

However... Vampires are far, far better than zombies.

So my giving Superman the Vampire advantage we make him better.

Although... Superman get's his power from the Yellow Sun so now my theory sort of falls apart.

LOL. Someone at DC came up with the idea for it way before Jack Handey did.

I remember reading some Superman comic in the early 90s where he became a vampire or almost became one while squaring off against some vampiric villain with goat horns. That ringing any bells?

EDIT: Found it! That's Lucy Lane putting the bite on Supes by the way. Couldn't find any pics of the horned guy though.

It was the 90s. Comics as a whole hit rock bottom. He teamed up with him more than once, too.

Well, they were both unmarried at the time and paraded around in spandex on a regular basis, but since this is the Jason Todd Robin, who thought it wise to cover his legs and lose the little elf booties, I'm going to say "nay".

I'll do a search for some slashfic and get back to you.

EDIT: Why oh why did I click a link called "Justice League Yaoi Party"? Why? :bigcry: Brainiac has anatomical features that make no sense for a robot to have. I have to go take a rape shower now.

:stunned:

Dick Grayson, the 1st and most well-known Robin, grew up and moved to a city neighboring Gotham called Bludhaven where he fights crime as Nightwing.
The Joker killed the 2nd Robin, Jason Todd, some time in the 80s after readers demanded it. In keeping with the comic book laws of mortality, he came back as the villain Hush years later.
Tim Drake is the 3rd and current Robin.

Then there's Carrie Kelly, the fourth Robin from The Dark Knight Returns; but I'm not sure if she counts.

Batman goes through Robins like Mr. Wizard went through Timmys.
