Has Batman ever gone back in time to kill his own parents? I have read a story where he gets sent back in time and saves his parents, therefore causing a time paradox and erasing himself from existence, but I wonder if the opposite has happened

....I wonder how many people were introduced to Aquaman in the movies and then saw him on the comics or Injustice 2 and went "Why is Aquaman a blonde dude"

Does Injustice 2 have a Mamoa costume? I know their Green Arrow has a Stephen Amell costume with him also doing voice work

Outside of Zod DLC in the first game, the Injustice series has largely ignored DC’s live action films.

I'm trying to collect all of the X-Men's major and/or notable appearances. I got the Children of the Atom box set so I have almost everything from the 60s and 70s but I was wondering if I missed anything obvious. I'm getting the Champions hardcover which covers what Angel and Iceman were up to during their extended absence from the X-Men book but was wondering if I'm missing anything else..?

I haven't read any of the stories, so I can't help you out with issue numbers, but Beast spent a good chunk of time on The Avengers.

Mostly notable because he turned into animal-like Beast for the first time.

 Uh. So when do these looks for Riddler and Penguin date from?

Pretty recently, I think they debuted at the beginning of James Tynion and Guillem March's run on Batman which is only a few issues old. I think the All-New, All-Naked Riddler first showed up in #87.

Was Penguin always a monster guy or just a chubby short guy with a theme? Was the Batman Returns that pushed the monster guy angle, or has it been around forever?

Changes from artist to artist and depends on what story needs (ie is horror or crime). Sometimes he is a short guy with a long pencil nose and a bloated tummy, and sometimes...he is the above. Batman's villains are versatile enough that they have a basic framework of what they look like and then can be amped up or toned down according to the stories needs. I think most people base their visualization on these characters based on Aparo who had a more toned down, realistic style whereas an artist like Jones will turn up the monster aspect.

In Detective Comics #58 (1941), his first appearance, he's actually pretty adorable:  He generally just looked like a slightly goofy looking little guy for most of the Golden Age and Silver Age, then in the 70s some artists like Mike Grell drew him as a little more exaggeratedly Penguin-like-- a longer, pointer nose, beadier eyes, etc. Post-Crisis they really emphasized him as more of a rational, sometimes even suave type of criminal, and introduced the stuff about him flirting with legitimacy along with a stint in the Suicide Squad. Throughout the 80s you got depictions ranging from Sam Keith's almost dignified portrait in 1989's Secret Origins Special #1:  to the slightly goofier, more Burgess Merdeith-influenced camp Penguin of Suicide Squad:  Even after Batman Returns and the subsequent Devito-esque Penguin of the cartoon, he remained pretty grounded throughout the 90s:  Showcase '94 #7  Detective Comics #683 (1995) By 1999 you had a split between stuff like Alex Maleev's pretty slick Penguin from No Man's Land #1:  a more cartoony take from the same arc by D'Israaeli in SHadow of the Bat #85:  :and a return to the movie's much more monstrous and grotesque take on the cover of the same issue (by Ted McKeever):

I ask because twitter friends and mutuals have been going nuts over them in Gotham then checking out the comics to follow up and finding... that.  Why is Riddler a nude weirdo now?

Yeah both characters are really good and cool in Gotham, one of the main reasons I liked it so much is that Robin Lord Taylor is incredibly charismatic and odd at once, just a super interesting and very crisply defined performance. And the Riddler is nude now because James Tynion is not a very good writer.

I quite liked the reformed private detective version of the riddler myself, but I knew that wouldnt last forever because in comics almost no-one can stay reformed, unless they quit being a villain a decade before the current writers were born.

I was thinking the Riddler would be great as a conspiracy theory nut but then I remember that the Question exists.

I'm reading through a curated complete identity crisis, and suddenly wonder woman is blind when she pops up in gotham. Uh...how and why? Its in Adventures of Superman 636 and it doesn't slow down at all to fill the reader in.

Its in Adventures of Superman 636 and it doesn't slow down at all to fill the reader in. It's from Rucka's original run, IIRC. Wonder Woman got in a fight with Medusa. She was blindfolded at first to protect herself, but when the blindfold got ripped off in the fight, she grabbed one of Medusa's hair-snakes and sprayed venom in her eyes to blind herself. Athena eventually got around to fixing her eyes.

Also, I think Medusa could compel her to look at her, she wasn't just being really dramatic.

That was a great take. Still an antagonist in his needing to solve crimes before Batman could.

there was a moment where Dick Grayson Batman was trying to convince Riddler he was the real Batman like, Grayson has Tim Drake in his ear, helping to coach him on the current case so Dick can sound like he knows what he's talking about (Dick's a good detective, but he's not Bruce and he's not Nigma, and obviously Tim's not going to look very convincing in the bat suit) and the whole time Riddler's thinking "this guy isn't Batman, but he knows his poo poo well enough that I'll play along and see where this goes" it was such a neat moment for every character involved, so of course Riddler became a bad guy again and Dick isn't Batman anymore
