In one issue of Posehn's run on Deadpool, Wade is easy to find simply because he tweets everything. Iron Fist was disappointed because there used to be actual challenge in locating people, and Deadpool is giving out the name of the restaurant where he's taking a poo poo in the soup.

So, nothing would be different.

Alan Moore's Supreme was awesome, filled with crazy fun stuff just like this. It was a parody/tribute to the Silver Age before everyone else started doing that. It wasn't a "serious" book, as evidenced below: Korgo the Space Tyrant has conquered the White House...


Yep it's amazing. Also full of bad-rear end panels.

It's Bruce Wayne's 21's birthday boat bash. He's not there, but Clark Kent just happened to be in a chartered plane crash right next to it. Everyone assumes he's Bruce making a big entrance and he takes advantage of the situation.






I really, really like "You ruin Broosh Wayne shirt" and "Sard Borken."

Also guys, I think part of the joke is that out of costume Bruce and Clark look almost identical.

I'm sure he's been in some stupid poo poo (and I mean the :cripes: sort, not the 'stick heros in pinball machines' sort) I've forgotten about, but I love Arcade as a concept and in general.

It also ties back to "Agent X was fun" because he was fun in the short time he cameod in that.

Yeah, I like this. Also even as much as I like to poke fun at when Superman or Batman are assholes, going all "He just tried to murder a dude" just doesn't fly (:haw:) here well as it usually does.

Plus, super tossing him into the ocean, superhuman assassin mans or not as the victim , is still probably more gentle than what Batman would probably have done to remind us how hardcore batman is :v:

He's not drunk, it's the poison Deathstroke used, which conveniently and hilariously resembles drunkenness when ingested by an alien god.

It's a bad joke because they only look how the artist decides they look (given some specific details like both being dark-haired white males), so there's no reason they should look remotely similar.

This is really killing the thread and this silly jokey comic, but here's young Bruce and Clark next to each other.

They look distinct, but again, nobody on the boat would know.

I feel like this conversation must go on a lot in universe. Bruce Wayne is probably a popular suspect for being Superman, and Deathstroke just quietly chuckles "Hey, Bruce. :smug:" to Superman every time they meet.

The fact that Clark and Bruce look alike is a long-running joke in the DCU :confused: Like, aside from the multiple times they've literally switched places across multiple mediums, they're pretty clearly meant to evoke a sense of "possibly brothers" in both readers and also people who just meet them on the street.

I think that intro was originally going to be used for Final Fight, but they put it in SF2 instead. So it was going to be Cody, but people just label him as Joe because it makes more sense.

Then in Street Fighter Alpha 3 they were planning on bringing Joe back as an escaped convict who loves fighting too much, but then decided it would be a better development for Cody.

Also, the crappy Final Fight Streetwise game had a guy named Ghost who is widely believed to just be a renamed Joe.

Please show me these myriad times where Batman pretended to be Clark Kent or Superman pretended to be Bruce Wayne. Oh wait they didn't happen because they're not supposed to look alike beyond a really basic description.

Superman wearing Batman's costume is irrelevant since anyone who is in good shape could do that because he wears a mask.
