• “I Looked EVERYWHERE!”

    Okay, so let’s assume that the coffin is lined with lead. Ignoring the question of why he doesn’t NOTICE that a coffin is lead-lined, doesn’t he have super hearing? If he can hear Lois get shot around the world, he can certainly hear Batman thumping away, right? The only answer that works is that Kal-El’s…

  • Why a Bat Living Will Is Important!

    Seriously, isn’t Kal El just the best friend ever?

  • We’ve Got a Theme This Week!

    This week’s theme is Superman-Batman: Friends 4 Evah.

  • Dissasembled: Foreshadowed.

    Flashback to the 90s, kids. The Avengers have just finished up “The Crossing”, where we learn that Tony Stark is really evil and the Avengers go back in time to get Teen Tony Stark to save them all. If you missed this, I am so envious of you. It was followed by Onslaught, and then…

  • Guess His Powers!

    No, it’s not the ability to give you wings! Wow. The late 90s were a daaaark time for The Avengers.

  • Paging Doctor Wertham!

    I feel guilty doing such a long non-image post, so here’s a special bonus scan Cue Porno Music as we flash-back to Wayne Manor…

  • Oh Dear G-d.

    Seriously, did people ever talk like that?

  • “Taste of the Old Lighting Bolt”

    Day-um! He really does have the power of electricity in his pants. (If you do not get that, then you are a poor, non Harvey Birdman watching person, and we pity you).

  • Rick Jones: Ugly American.

    That’s right Rick! Because if they don’t speak English, they’re not civilized! The filthy savages… Check out Cap and Rick’s poses. Apparently, the way to scare of a leopard is to have your teen sidekick dry hump you. “Scaring the leopard”– a new euphemism from the fine folks at “What Were They Thinking”.

  • Seriously, Why Don’t They Make Comics Like This Anymore?

    Nothing, and I mean nothing, in the history of comics beats this panel for sheer WTF-ness.   Doom Patrol was the best book of the Silver Age, bar none. People thought Morrison’s run was good, but the original was crack-tastic. Even when guest-starring in other books, they take the sheer brilliant lunacy with them. Brave…

  • More Misogyny in the Mighty Marvel Manner!

    Even in the late 70’s and early 80’s, The Wasp could not catch a break “Sure, there could be people trapped in there, but I’ll be damned if I ruin my makeup!” “Gosharoonies, I know we just saved the world from a menace that was going to destroy it, but I can’t get over the…

  • Poppa Spank!

      That last panel is maybe the most disturbing thing I’ve seen since reading the page of “The Lonely Doll” where Mr. Bear is spanking her. … What? It’s a classic of children’s lit! Anyhow… part of me wanted to cut off that last panel and leave it by it’s lonesome, but frankly, it’s even…

  • Superman Hates Liberty!

    It’s true! I have evidence! First, he destroys a symbol of hope and freedom:   Then, just for kicks, he stays to resist arrest! Edit: Broken link for the second pic. Will fix some day. No Red Kryptonite involved, he really did it.

  • Chips Off The Old Blocks!

    This may be the Ultimate “What Were They Thinking” Super Son Moment. It’s just that messed up.   Not only have the Super-Sons locked their dads in what appears to be a concentration camp, but they’ve “dumped” them for other men. Superman Junior and Green Arrow appear to be rubbing it in rather… forcefully. Although…

  • Wow. I Thought MY Dad Was Strict.

      Miss one curfew and get locked in a room by your dad, using the one substance that can kill you. Seems a bit harsh, don’t you think? Almost all of the Super-Sons stories have great “What Were They THINKING” moments.

  • Feminists are Stupid and EVIL! Part 38.

    In this issue of World’s Finest, the Super Son’s encounter a town with no men. They have some… odd values. Let this be a lesson to anyone who would do “man’s work’! The man’s work in question? Using a ladder.  

  • A Travesty of Justice!

    So what, exactly, is a “travesty”? Is stuffing the jury box a “travesty”? No, it seems that it’s okay. After all, Batman and Superman would never do anything wrong, right? Right. So what’s a travesty? When you lose, despite stacking the deck in your favor. It’s funny, but I have another term for that situation.…

  • That’s an Odd Spot to Target!

      Is there a reason that they’re all aiming for Hellcat’s… area? Draws the eye nicely, it does!

  • “Bad Monkey! No Means NO!”

    Although he arrived too late to stop Monsiuer Mallah from taking Wonder Woman’s virginity, Batman used bat-hypnosis to make the evil ape forget his dire deed. Wonder Woman, unable to achieve closure, slit her wrists the next issue.

  • Black Canary is a Dick.

    Check this cover out: Okay, so Batman can’t see the guy aiming at him – but not only can Canary see him, she’s smiling. I think she’s getting revenge for Bruce kissing her mom that one time.

  • He Undressed Me With His Eyes!

    Wait, so Superman just goes around casually X-raying royalty? Male royalty? And people think Batman is a bit gay?

  • World’s Mightiest Homophobes!

    “… So help me, Beast, I’m going to beat you so badly Fred Phelbs will think I’m too violent!” Geeze Pym… they’re just flowers. It’s not like he mounted you.

  • Bat Santa

    I was going to save this for the Holiday Season, but it’s too good to pass up The moral of the story? Never, ever give a Dark Detective a lump of coal. Ever.

  • Zatanna: Size Queen

    And today, a rare follow up to not one, but two scans. Remember when Zatanna and Supergirl were fighting over the same guy? Well, it looks like Kara got tall, hairy, and smelly. Fortunately, Zatanna met someone else a few years later. Remember the fellow from yesterday’s post? They hooked up:   Yes, that is…
