It appears that the elephant is highly sensitive to the effects of LSD - a finding which may prove to be valuable in elephant-control work in Africa.
^^ok that’s what I thought, tacky and broke brained. Like, not exactly wrong, but come on, join the human race you gently caress.

Thanks

E: I don’t agree 100% with the last two posters, but, broadly speaking, I think they are right. I think if an abstraction helps you understand reality, that’s great, but don’t share it if it is extinction-level of embarrassing.

Anyone using "female" as a noun should be shot out of a canon.

Is there an issue here outside of implying that the Holocaust museum is “great” but also “a little heavy”?

Like, the idiocy is simply that the person is tactless as gently caress, right? Or am I missing something deeper?

I'd say the fact that he's comparing a popular fantasy movie with a museum commemorating the real-life enslavement, torture, and execution of millions is a little more than tactless.
Also it brings up the awkward question of why Batman has never asked The Flash to run him back in time so he could fight the Holocaust.

Hitler has the Lance of Longinus. Same reason the Justice Society of America couldn't stop him at the time.

(I am not joking, but that may not be canon anymore because this is a fact I learned before Final Crisis, let alone Flashpoint and the New 52, let alone any retcons since then.)

Barry wouldn't do it, because basically the first thing any adaptation of Barry learns after 'I can time travel' is 'I shouldn't time travel'.

But also I bet Batman would have some weirdly over-reasoned explanation for why he'd never do it that suggests he's thought WAY too hard about it.

I had a friend lend me a set of comics about a superhero from the future who was kind of poo poo in his own time, so he travels back to the 20th century where his gadgets are super advanced and he can use his knowledge of history to prevent the assassination of the president and such.

He then tries to go further back to start righting historical wrongs, starting with The Killing Joke, but despite his superpowers and knowledge of events, the Joker kicks his rear end and goes right back to torturing Batwoman, no matter how many times he tries to stop him. Eventually Batman figures out what he's trying to do, and pulls him aside and confides that he's already tried all kinds of time travel poo poo, but there are some events that have too much inertia, and any attempt to change them will result in getting your rear end beat, no matter how easily you ought to be able to resolve them.

That's probably the best explanation you'll get, given that "superheroes plum don't care enough to prevent the holocaust" and "meet Adolf Hitler, an official member of the villain gallery who foils the heroes at every turn" are both stories nobody wants.

That sounds like Booster Gold, alright. DC should really give up on the over-ponderous Justice League franchise , and give Booster and Blue Beetle a chance on the big screen. Just a couple of second-rate losers trying their best.

If he does that too much then Blue Beetle actually changes his costume, and causes a time paradox.

There's a pretty bad batman comic where booster gold gets batman the wedding gift of saving his parents from being murdered. it causes a weird post apocalyptic future thing. It's not great.

A good recentish Joker story is Death of the Family, but mostly because the main focus is on Batman and his family.
