Section Z posted:So, I know he probably doesn't in reality. But I'm just going to imagine the reason Jack Kirby keeps drawing people more swole than He-Man was because his art style was based on himself. See, that runs totally counter to my image of Jack Kirby, Bad Motherfucker. He's like your dad's middle-aged friend who's got an infectious, booming laugh, smokes big cigars and is always happy to give the kids a piggyback ride. But the moment some Nazi rear end in a top hat mouths off, he sighs, rolls up his sleeves, and uses a car door to smash a once-Aryan head into a pureé of bloody mist, skull fragments and brain matter.

Seriously, listen." talk with Rob about having talent but refusing to develop skill. It would be like your avuncular next-door neighbor telling you that, yes, you can get a girl pregnant if you do it while standing up and for God's sake, kid, what's wrong with you, anyway?

Not that I don't appreciate you guys' Jack Kirby fanfiction, but here's some Batman and Robin #39. Robin's hanging out in the big leagues ever since he came back to life (with superpowers). Shazam is a cool guy.  (I'll address your follow-up questions: He had superpowers because he was brought to life with weird New God poo poo, no one really knows why. He no longer has superpowers, he burnt them out.)

The answer being his powers came from a chaos shard that made its first appearance in a Batman/Superman drawn by Jae Lee. It also gave Batman a badass powerboost and enable him to go toe to toe with Darkseid and Unibeam his rear end on Apokolips.

If I was a small boy reading that comic I would be irritated that the writers apparently thought I was a petulant little poo poo who gets owned by everyone around him , and I'd probably identify more with Damian who is cool and helpful to the grown ups.

Personally, my favorite scene was Bruce and Damian's fishing trip. There's this Japanese artist who did a doujinshi (SFW, thank God) called "Batsons" about a teamup between Damian and Capt. Marvel, that actually looked pretty fun and cute. It even has American artists like Brianne Drouhard as contributors. I just wish it weren't out of print, because I'd kind of like to have a copy.
