What Were They Thinking?!

The Penguin claims he has a gravity beam. It’s really a magnet.

Okay, so some boots have metal, so that works… but I am amused by the thought of steel toed pixie boots amuses me.

Aquaman has taught his dolphin friend something interesting. And by interesting, I mean scientifically impossible.

That’s… not what dolphin speech means. Not even a little.

However, there is one thing dolphins do that Dr. Light is interested in.

There. Try getting that image out of your head.

And now, the epilogue to our “Fake Hal” saga.

That’s just cold.

Continuing the story of the crook disguised as Hal, the partygoers are bored. Carol thinks up a Very Special Carol Ferris Party Game.

Lois Lane would be so proud.

Carol was a bit suspicious when he didn’t use his ring, but she knew it had to be Hal when he knocked himself out.

(You can take a shot, but since it’s not really Hal, it should be a virgin drink)

A couple of crooks get the idea to rob a shindig dressed as galactic law enforcement officer and well known party-goer, Green Lantern.

They even have a plan for dealing with requests to see a display of Oan Abilities:

Either that guy has some really impressive hang time, or they really are saps.

“The waiter stayed in the air for five seconds! Isn’t Green Lantern amazing?”

From Green Lantern #5, a peak at a Roy Thomas story we’ve never seen:

They should do this.

Superman’s got quite an impressive array of vision powers. So many that he can’t be bothered to come up with names for them all.

As seen here, in example # 329 of “Superman and Batman trick the bad guy by swapping costumes”.

Superman can “telescopically” see into other dimensions (by, one assumes, vibrating his eyes at the right dimensional frequency), and then zero in on his teammates somewhere within that dimension.

That’s one hell of a telescope.

Also, just a quick comment on the costume switching idea… that works out well for Superman, obviously, but what about Batman? The Superman-specific traps are always kryptonite-related, but what if they were red sun, stronger gravity related?

“That’s to Batman and I switching places, I was able to save you all!”
“Yes, but Batman was crushed to death.”
“Yes. A tragedy. Hey Hal, can I try your costume on?”

With little fanfare, I give you Batman #66:

The boner issue.

Almost all of those word balloons are comedy gold.

Mmmm. Lingual shifts.

So, you know that game “got your nose”? You pretend to “steal” a child’s nose and not give it back?

Yesterday, my almost-8 year old puts her hand on me, yanks it away, and says: “Ha-Ha! Got your DNA!”

…

Took everything I had not to say “I know sweetie, and I wouldn’t be laughing if I were you.”
