Also I guess Johnny Thunder's superhero costume is "shop clerk." Better than Cliff Cornwall though, who has decided he doesn't have to do little things like "put on a costume" or "come up with a superhero name."

Dacap posted:Some sweet guitar shredding from Batman in this Teen Titans clip. Also a Nite Owl cameo (!?) For some reason the producers of Teen Titans Go are allowed to use whatever they want from DC. Watchmen jokes, Teddy Bear Bane that is the Nolan movie costume, references to the old Teen Titans cartoon and Batman The Animated Series. Anything.

You should watch the recent Teen Titans cartoon, it is light hearted and extremely goofy.

Dr. MonkeyThunder posted:So, is he the only teacher there with an actual teaching certificate? or did that get retconned with brand new day? Even though Peter was a teacher I believe he didn't actually have a certificate or anything like that. He was hired on to a struggling school that couldn't get anyone else so they had relaxed standards.

The Question IRL posted:So Superman decides to adopt Jimmy Olson (which means he must be an orphan. Unless Superman decided to ignore that little wrinkle. ) who is either a grown rear end man, or very nearly one. Either way, only a few years younger then Supes. During this time period it has been previously stated that Jimmy is 21 years old. A lot of those stories are weird because they involved Superman needing to lie about something but not being able to because of the standards of the time. So instead he just creates these elaborate fictions where he isn't technically lying but instead doing things that cause people to misinterpret his intentions/actions. Another hallmark of the era was Superman not trusting anyone with anything, like the time that Jimmy accidentally gets Superman's secret identity written on his hand in indelible ink. Instead of just telling Jimmy and trusting that he'll cover it up until it wears off Superman creates this elaborate fiction wherein Jimmy thinks he's gained the ability to breathe underwater.

Wheat Loaf posted:True - they did the covers first then wrote the stories to fit them in the Silver Age, didn't they? Sure, the entire reason the multiverse exists is supposed to be because Infantino drew a cover with both Barry Allen and Jay Garrick and said, "Ha! Write your way out of that one, Gardner!" (He probably did not say this, but he should have.) During the height of the "B" movie era they would draw up posters and send them around to theaters. If enough owners ordered the movie only then would they actually shoot it. GorfZaplen posted:One time a cover artist on G.I. Combat mistook the directions "Drop an inch" as the name of a story, so Robert Kanigher sat down and wrote it during his lunch break. Wonder Girl only came into existence because of a cover showing Wonder Woman doing stuff alongside a teenage and baby version of her character.

It said "Superman is Clark Kent" because he was writing it for some time capsule. Really, a lot of Superman's problems with his identity in the Silver Age were his own fault because he kept writing it down somewhere and would then be shocked that someone found it.Tiggum posted:I know it's going to be really dumb, but I want to know how that plan was supposed to go. "Need to make sure no one sees my name on Jimmy's hand. Well, step one, obviously I need to convince him he can breathe underwater. That goes without saying." Because if Jimmy thought he could breathe underwater he would then just spend all his time underwater and it would then be hard to read anything written on his hand because of light refraction.

The best part of Silver Age stories is when they just wouldn't really give a poo poo about how it is a superhero comic. Like the time Jimmy enters a goddamn marbles tournament and Superman just hangs out watching all this go down.

Oh no, Jimmy came in first even though there was rampant cheating by the sponsor of another kid. He stole Jimmy's marble and then altered it by putting a bead of metal and then would alter the trajectory with a buried electromagnet. The other kid was unaware of the cheating and was sad that he didn't get second place on his own merits until Superman chimes in that he talked to the cheater who said that he barely had to cheat and that the kid totally got there almost on his own. The way that last part is given secondhand totally implied that Superman was just lying to the kid to make him feel better.

Nothing about how the ring chooses people based on intelligence, its just "without fear" and "honest."

When Hal first got the ring Abin Sur's explanation was that there was an impurity in the lantern that caused the weakness and removing the impurity caused the lantern to not work.

Drifter posted:I thought Drax the Destroyer was some alien version of Superman, just with a mohawk. And then they made him some skinny green knife guy for some reason. Drax's origin was that he was a normal guy named Arthur Douglas, who was driving his wife and daughter down some back road when Thanos came to Earth. Wanting to keep his visit secret Thanos blew up Arthur's car killing everyone except for the daughter who was taken and eventually becomes the character Moondragon. Thanos' father realized that Thanos was too dangerous and so he brought Arthur Douglas back to life with a new body designed to be able to kill Thanos. At the beginning of Annihilation the prison ship Drax was on crashed and he was killed but he Doctor Who's himself and comes back to life slightly different.
