I'm just gonna have to say I am REALLY DAMN HAPPY that Batman INC is exactly what I expected it to be.

Batman as James Bond. Being sexy and cool all throughout the world, in exotic locations, with villanous villains plotting villanous schemes.

Yep. It was cancelled. And it's a GOOD THING too. Because it would only succeed if it would have the same treatment as Brave and the Bold, which was pretty much a huge love letter to the fans, restoring forgotten characters and plotlines and doing stuff only fans would care about, cleverly disguised as a kids' show.

You guys mean this thing?




Yeah, I have no idea how they could've ever made that good either.


My life is currently bears and Jojos and everything is great.

I think it's one of those things where you stuff 10 kinds of meat into each other and cover it in bacon.

Not that I've seen many of them mind you...

Also I would've liked to have seen what would've become of Gotham High. I mean, the characters all look so cute and awkward as teens!

FFFFFFFFFFFFF That makes me rage. Goku is based on Superman, for God's sake! Hell, he IS Superman.

Technically he was based off of Sun Wukong but the similarities to Superman is there.

He has the items of Sun Wukong. In any other thing, he is Superman. It's as obvious a homage as Disney's Hercules was.

At least I can take solace in the fact that it doesn't take Superman two weeks to power up his heat vision. Nor does Supes look like he's constantly constipated.

Come and read some Thoughts of a Platypus

Why is Hawk Man dubbed the most useless hero? And how can tell my friends that Aqua Man can do stuff besides calling fish?

Because the dubbers and your friend have never read a worthy comic in their whole damn lives.

Hawkman is a victim of constant retcons, but he's pretty damn badass.

And Aquaman? Aquaman is just A GIGANTIC [chameleon sting]er.

Okay, so who rules over the Earth? Humanity?

NO. AQUAMAN DOES. HE RULES OVER THE SEAS. He once said to a villain propositioning him partnership: "I already rule over seventy five percent of the Earth. Why would I settle for less?"

Dude's also hella strong. HELLA STRONG. Can withstand deep sea pressures like a boss. You're under pressure, with Queen & David Bowie blowing your head to bits? Aquaman is just chillin'.

As for calling fish? DUDE'S GOT TELEKINETIC CONTROL OVER ALL SEA LIFE. EVER. Imagine all armies on Earth put together. You think you can face every single whale on Earth on top of you? Hell no.

Dude's also lost a hand already. Twice. What does he do? Go [sonic slicer] to the JLA to make him a new robot one? Prosthetic maybe? HELL NO. HE PUTS A HOOK IN ITS PLACE. MOFOS BE DAMNED, AQUAMAN IS COMING.

So you got like one hero per city, right? A hero protects the city. AQUAMAN PROTECTS ALL OF THE OCEANS. He is the most useful out of all of the heroes in terms of keeping the Earth safe, because HE ENDS UP DOING MOST OF THE WORK.


...also he doesn't need to fawn over some plastic man's wife because he's married to a thing of pure hotness who can control the oceans themselves. THE WATER ITSELF. You jelly? Course you are. Because Aquaman is here to stay.



And that's hella OUTRAAAAAAAAAGEOUS.

By the way, anyone read Joe the Barbarian? Morrison does it once again. AMAZING.

Read it. Not in issues, though. Morrison honestly made the book to be read all at once. I waited until it was all out (pure torture) but it was worth it.

Yeah, but All-Star Superman was an issue comic. =P Supposed to be read that way. This is simply put, a book.

Heck, I don't think Batman Inc will be as good in the actual hardcover compilation, because the "TUNE IN NEXT MONTH" pages won't have as much effect.

Either way, I have been enjoying Batman Inc. very much.
