I'm guessing they wanted to avoid describing the caucasian homonym with the inevitable adjective and name.

I think the key to defeating the Living Ghost is to explain to him that being Living cancels out being a Ghost, and he'll disappear with a pop.

There is this two page spread where Luke Cage picks up a rolled up cinema screen and hits Power Man with it and the narration just says "This us what we in the business like to call terse writing." That always cracks me up. The rebundled that issue with this big 100 page issue of Thunderbolts that was full of past stories from characters back when they were villains. And having two characters fight over something as silly as a name is perfectly comic bookish. One of my all time favourite stories is about how the Autobot Swoop used to be called Divebomb. But he got into this fight with a Decepticon who beat him up and took his name. And how they meet up on Earth and keep fighting over it.

No one needs to name their car. Naming your car is weird. Just call it "my car" or "the car." This Batman guy...seems a little weird?

Not even having a thematically appropriate name for your car, but giving it an AI that responds to verbal commands with a servile voice. Super weird.

I used to work at a comic book store, and we had an old Batmobile model in Spanish-language packaging. From this I learned that at least some of the time, the vehicle's localized name is "El Murcielauto." Hooray puns. e: to save people from having to look it up, "murcielago" is a Spanish word for the animal with the english name "bat" Doc Hawkins fucked around with this message at 12:46 on Aug 24, 2016 |

The sportscar Bruce Wayne wrecks in Batman Returns is the Lamborghini Murcielago, he was prob. sniggering into his chequebook when he bought it.

Avulsion posted:I'd post Astro City #1/2 "The Nearness of You" but I'd have to post the entire issue and everyone's probably already seen it and it really belongs in the Touching and Inspiring thread and it's free on comixology so go read it there. No, it fits in just fine here. It'd just have to be in the first post, because it makes most other comics after it look like a joke in comparison.

Here in Mexico we have always called it El Batimovil.

Yeah, thinking about it, ASBAR kinda reads like it was written by a guy who thinks the world considers Batman to be on the same level of popularity as Aquaman, and is trying to do his best to convince everyone otherwise. Except this is the universe where Batman Begins was released several months before the first issue, and Frank never got the memo in the years following.

ASBAR reads like it was written by a psychopathic thirteen year old who took a break from ripping the wings off butterflies and staring dead eyed at medical illustrations of female genitalia to write a Batman comic

ASBAR reads like the end result of what happens when someone at DC Editorial points to the Ultimates and says "Frank, make something like this."

It's definitely from All Star Batman and Robin, which I don't have in my digital collection, so somebody else will have to post/repost that bit if anybody wants to see how enormously dickish Bats gets in that sequence. edit: I want to say, issue 9? Maybe 10.

Batman Odyssey is awesomely insane, ASBAR is just kinda bad with occasional bits of humor like the yellow room bit. Even that gets dumb when Robin nearly kills GL and Bruce has to give him a pen tracheotomy.
