Can someone post the pages of Alopex beating on the traitor foot soldiers? Or really, just the "Ssh, it's all right, you'll lose" panel.

That reminds me of that sci-fi short with the astronaut checking in on a robot society. It was also incredibly ahead of its time for when it was published.

My favorite interpretation of Joker has always been that he's a little bit crazy but acts way crazier for attention and to prove some nonsense point about society. Like in the Animated Series, when he'd make some grand soliloquy about chaos and then when his plan goes to poo poo he'd just cut out like any two bit villain, dropping the crazy act immediately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3lNW3jNbig

In that clip, it's because he was terrified.

My kids have been watching a ton of Brave and the Bold, and I cannot get over Joker's voice in that series. It's crazy how Mark Hamill has become synonymous with that character.

Batman: Under the Hood by Winnick played around with this idea quite a bit when Todd confronted the Joker and basically called him out on his bullshit. I wish I could find the panels because it is pretty badass to see Joker getting a talking down to.

That comic written by Max Landis has Nu52 Superman meeting Joker for the first time and basically totally emasculating the Joker's schtick via polite indifference. It was really refreshing to see.

So I said, 'For God's sakes, Judge Murphy, that's the whole point of the Goddamn story!' So he said, 'No, it can't be a Black'. Bill [Gaines] just called him up [later] and raised the roof, and finally they said, 'Well, you gotta take the perspiration off'. I had the stars glistening in the perspiration on his Black skin. Bill said, 'gently caress you', and he hung up.

I guess the new Batwoman features Kate and Maggie breaking up. Hilarity has ensued in the usual places. Edit: I am not sure how this post ended up in this thread. Wanderer fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Aug 21, 2014 |

Senor Candle posted:Man I wanted to see the racist crybaby responses Seeing as it was a letters page and not some comments section where they could anonymously post some vitriol about political correctness gone amok, I like to think that they didn't receive to much, and any that they did were probably written with so much vitriol and hatred that they couldn't print them anyway.

They might have been lying, but they claim they only received 1 negative letter at the start of the page. And what they printed of that letter didn't seem too negative, just a self-congratulatory "I'm not as racists as my friends" thing.

Yes, Gaines went for shock value a lot of the times in order to make a buck but every so often some of the best poo poo came out of EC.
