Risqué Business

Mar 31, 2008 in Ads, What Were They Thinking

I love the “atomic age”. Even the bubble gum was atomic.

What idiot flipped off a kid with atomic bubble gum?

Holy Wet Spot, Batman!

Look out! The hold is flooding!

Relax, fans,Batman planned ahead.

Say, that’s pretty clever. Wait? no?

There’s no way for the oxygen to get from the tanks on their back to the mask. Plus, the front of gasmasks have little holes that go to a filter.

Essentially, they asphyxiate one way or another.

So much for the myth of Batman and “prep time”.

Put That in Your Pipe and Smoke It.

Mar 27, 2008 in Batman, What Were They Thinking

When doing reading for this site, I’ve often wondered what some writers were smoking.

Here’s a cover that I think strongly invokes that question.

“This is good stuff! I’m seeing little men in my pipe. Little men in tights. Burning men. No wait, they’re gone now. “

Also: Series 2 of Torchwood does not suck.

Fatal Flaw

Mar 26, 2008 in Bad Science, Batman, What Were They Thinking

The idea of hiding from pursuers in shallow water and using a hollow reed or handy tube of some sort to breath is an oldie but goodie.

Leave it to Batman to mess it up…

Batman doesn't grasp the concept of breathing

The other end of the tube has to reach out of the water, Batman. Otherwise, you’re just drowning in a slightly more inventive fashion.

 Also? Water’s generally pretty transparent. This trick should just not work.

First person to say it worked “magnetically” gets a virtual smack upside the head. 

Wait. It just hit me. Where was he keeping that?  

 

 Way, way behind on my reading. Still have a ton of these old posts to re-write and add, then have to read ahead. Just haven’t been in the mood. 

And Robinson’s new Justice League title sounds WWTT-tastic. In a good way. Sure, the concept is very close to what Extreme Justice or JLTF were, but any book featuring Congorilla gets a try.

Batman: Home wrecker.

Batman is a home wrecker. Not the way you think, though.

“C’mon Robin, it’s not like he can throw stones back at us.”

“Holy Old Adage, Batman, you’re right!”

Bat Chin

The below criminal plot would have worked wonderfully on Batman: The Animated Series.

All that from a chin!

You know, I’m wondering if he had the brains to take the money before his little slideshow…

Of course, Batman “proves” he can’t be Bruce Wayne through clever use of a dummy. Now, of course, no one can ever suspect he’s Batman.

Until next month, anyway…

Don’t Judge Him.

Oh don’t look so shocked, Robin.

 You think Silken Cords are cheap?

Well, this just doesn’t seem fair…

 

 

What if they just want to buy something?

 Someone should sue that store for discriminating against masked vigilantes.

 

Stop with the Hurting!

If you are a male, you will wince at this.

Gun to the crotch! Hard enough that he’ll never use his “little gadget” again, no less.

 …

 Oh. Wait. 

 On closer examination, it’s just the belt, but yeah, way to close for my comfort.

 

It’s Purim!

Mar 21, 2008 in What Were They Thinking

In honor of the Jewish holiday of Purim, have two posts.
