The Question IRL posted:That is all time one of my favourite Batman stories from my favourite Justice League run. (Yes, I prefer the Kelly/Mahnke run, even above the Morrison/Porter or Waid runs.) I'll admit to still being butthurt that the "Funny" Plasticman series decided to take a poo poo all over that character arc instead of just ignoring it.

Let me help you: He has the power of A God, but is kind, respectful, and displays humility when he would be justified in having zero. And in the hands of a good writer, it never seems phony, or corny.

Well yeah, but when you are talking with some people (my comic reading friends) about it they are so set in "LOL INVINCIBLE NO FUN" that it's very frustrating. Shame, since they are missing out on some excellent comics.

I tried to walk someone through the "name one time where batman being Just A Guy has stopped him, and how many times has superman been stopped by kryptonite or other stuff" argument and all I got was "well it doesn't matter batman is still the best".

Its still funny that one of the best Superman moments comes from a book of a guy coming to deal with the Superman concept and how he is not stupid and from Vertigo. It's a bird is amazing

Someone posted the "can I borrow a dollar" panel in another thread, and I was reminded of this great scene in Hickman's Fantastic Four, following Johnny Storm's death:   The whole "heads in the clouds" imagery is a bit corny, but the part where Peter says "I KNOW" gets me every time. Making Spider-Man a part of the team here really was a stroke of genius.

These are from JLA #35, which was a fill-in issue written by J. M. DeMatteis which came out just before Morrison started the last lap of his run with the Mageddon arc. It's about an encounter between Hal Jordan and his old team-mates, taking place pretty soon after he had assumed the Spectre's mantle. He believes he can see humans for what they are now, and as far as he's concerned, even the best of them are not really worth saving.

Deadpool #19. This is the first page. Part of the plot in this arc is that for years, Deadpool's been experimented on by this guy named Butler. Deadpool would either be kidnapped, experimented on, mindwiped then released or he'd be tranq'd during his everyday activities before people would harvest his organs and leave him to regenerate. Butler is kind of like Mr. Freeze in that he does his work to save the life of his sister, whose bedridden, comatose body is always nearby. Then again, he's also done a lot of shady poo poo involving the North Korean government. Deadpool finds him in this issue, where Butler is hiding in a panic room that can only be opened from the inside. If Deadpool tries anything, there are a ton of booby traps able to stop him. The two instead talk and we discover that after escaping from Weapon X, Deadpool volunteered to be used as a guinea pig until he violently turned on Butler for unexplained reasons. Deadpool has no memory of this, but imagines that if Butler only cared about saving his sister's life, Deadpool would have helped him. As Deadpool talks to Butler, the door opens. Butler's sister had gotten up and pressed the button. Butler shouts that Deadpool will kill them both and she weakly says, "Good. How many times have I died?" After a well-deserved brutalizing, Butler tries talking his way out of it but...

Every single one of my favorite Deadpool stories aren't where he's being a wacky anti-hero, but where he examines his own, and others humanity. I think Cable and Deadpool did this rather well, but everyone took the wrong things from it, and went wacky Deadpool, instead of existentialist insane deadpool. Though to be honest, I avoid a lot of his stuff because I'll grab an issue and be turned off. What Deadpool vol is that?

It's really nice to see that they're putting effort into Deadpool stories since his recent ascent to the mainstream and not just having them be 100% lol monkeycheese even though that would probably still sell just as well

What makes the current Deadpool run work is that it has some whacky stuff but the whacky stuff is funny (usually), and there's plenty of pathos and drama that has been well executed.

The joke about 'lol, no-one likes Deadpool being serious' in the video game pissed me off to no end. gently caress you, Daniel Way, YOU don't like that! Every single run where creators struck a balance has been more enjoyable for it. Hell, WAY's stories where he does that are the best of his run- the 'Wade joins the X-Men' arc, for instance.

Gavok posted:Deadpool #19. I was generally surprised at the quality of this arc and how it explored the toll that Deadpool's messed-up memory has on him as a person. Also, Captain America literally staring down the North Korean army to stop their advance. No attack, no threat, just a single man with a shield on his back, in parade rest, stopping an army.

That whole scene made me realize that Clark and Dick have so much more in common with each other than with Bruce. It makes snese that they'd be friends independent of Batman.
