Metal Loaf posted:I think there's also a scene somewhere (maybe one of the animated films) in which one of Luthor's labs discovers the cure for cancer (while Superman is in the Fortress of Solitude trying and failing to do the same thing), and he immediately orders them to work out how to turn it into a series of lifetime treatments to maximise its profitability. And then people will turn it into a "Lone Gunman" moment when the first 'cure' for cancer is exactly that. Rogaine for tumors.

Baron Bifford posted:She has an invisible plane even though she can fly and unbreakable bracers even though she's bulletproof. To be fair, the invisible plane is a holdover from the time when she *couldn't* fly, and the bracers work against stuff like lasers and energy beams. I'd imagine if Superman ever tried to punch her, if she blocked with those 'magic' bracers she'd have an even-money chance of breaking something in his hand, too.

The Question IRL posted:The other part can be the artistic message that the hero understands that true strength comes not from lashing out, but from holding back. That control, discipline and calmness are virtues and to win with such a handicap only makes you even more powerful. One of the most interesting parts, and one of the only *unique* parts of the Irredeemable book was that the main superhero-turned-psychopath had powers he didn't even know about. From the Wiki page: The Plutonian's powers are not physical but psionic, enabling him to subconsciously manipulate matter on an atomic level: allowing him to heat or freeze the air, see through objects, fly, render himself virtually indestructible, possess super strength and heightened senses, and make opponents more susceptible to damage. Modeus (the Lex Luthor analog in the book) hypothesizes that if the Plutonian is made aware of his true abilities he would be able to alter probability, see through time and reverse entropy, concluding "and that's just if he moves from Kindergarten to grade school."

I can't wait to hear the MRA backlash over the Batgirl variant cover removal, pretty much all of it boiling down to people being angry that they didn't buy a copy before it was shitcanned, making it potentially more valuable in the long run. "We should be able to celebrate the Joker's birthday by celebrating that time Alan Moore had him cripple Batgirl and take naked pictures of her!"

Lurdiak posted:Darkseid is the kind of dude that the mere existence of makes it hard for me to believe the DC universe can exist in a recognizable shape compared to our own. There's a guy out there who's basically the Space Devil, is theoretically powerful enough to mop the floor with every hero on earth, and he's pretty publicly known. You'd think that'd impact society a little. Darkseid isn't thought of as the ever-present Space Devil because 1) his attacks on Earth are few and far between in a society that's pretty much in danger of extinction every week, and 2) he's got an entire planet full of 'willing' servants whom I honestly think are willing because they're the most selfless characters in the DC Universe. Darkseid would be blowing up planets by the dozens *daily* if he didn't have billions of slaves willing to suffer his evil whimsy. He's spoiled. I also think it's a vastly under-explored phenomena that's only been touched upon by that "Luthor" GN a while back...in a world with metahumans, why even *bother* being human? It makes you wonder if there's honestly just a cabal of telepaths in both DC and Marvel's respective universes that pull a Maxwell Lord on the entire population pretty much every day to keep them from just swan diving off the nearest skyscraper rather than wait for the world-ending catastrophe of that particular week. And yeah, also the human capacity for pulling a Lego Movie and having "everything is awesome" playing in their heads. =/

Gaz-L posted:Blank Space is also a pretty fitting song for Jen's love life, so I think it's a better joke. Well, when you think about it... She physically wouldn't be able to have sex with a man who wasn't invulnerable *everywhere*. Even her trying to be *gentle* while in Hulk form would probably leave a guy in the ICU as a best case scenario. And if she reverted back to normal, there'd still be a biohazard as I think gamma-doped blood is extremely dangerous to 'normies.' Jen's acknowledged it, too:  And: http://arousinggrammar.com/2012/07/12/she-hulk-loves-juggernaut/ (too many post-worthy panels on this page to copy to here) Source: Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk, but the other woman is Betty Ross, and later on, she flirts with Wolverine and confirms his joints and bones are laced with Adamantium. The disembodied voice is Wolverine talking to Fury.  One of the most interesting things I remember about the pre-New 52 Wonder Woman was when she first brought Nemesis to Themyscira to meet her mother, he asked if she could feel it when he touched her, and she said 'no.'

The hobby they were based on stopped being cool combined with market saturation? They were video games that made people feel like they weren't playing video games.

It is interesting when you see the difference in narrative between old comics and new ones - they know they can't just spitball bullshit because some amateur NdT or the *real* NdT will call them on it.

Chaos Hippy posted:Having just read Quiver, Cacophony, Widening Gyre, and Green Hornet back to back a few weeks after reading Guardian Devil, this is a more accurate statement. The exchange between Batman and a drugged-out, semi-level-headed Joker was a good part (probably *the* only good part) of Cacophony, but it was all completely undone by Widening Gyre. I can live without scenes like Cacophony slitting a woman's throat just because Smith seems to think fridging is still a good thing. Even Cacophony had a part in it where the villain kills a hooker for no other reason than LOOK HOW EDGY I AM. If I didn't know any better I'd swear he was trying to be an Ennis knockoff, only his 'oh, that guy' thing is dead women instead of rape.
