I don't think there's a continuity where Gotham City is associated with 'happiness'.

I think that the middle panels of all those pages could be replaced with pictures of Donald Trump and still have the same meaning.

The three panel sequence for friend/foe is the best part. Especially since it's the first honest answer he gives.

I thought it was interesting, too, seeing the facade crack a little bit there. I wonder how exhausting it has to be for him to play the role of "Bruce Wayne, shallow millionaire playboy" all day on top of all his time spent as Batman.

Honestly of the various versions of Bruce Wayne that have been in the animated adaptations, The Batman's version is probably the best rendition, cause while he still does the whole Playboy Millionaire routine, they make his role in trying to improve Gotham outside of being Batman a lot more present and effective(probably helps that he's one of the saner versions of Bruce Wayne, as unlike most his public persona isn't all that different from either his private one, or indeed from his Batman persona)

Also, Bruce has a thing for Ivy for at least a panel. (my first answer for "green" would be either Riddler or Joker's hair)

From today's Deadpool #20. Deadpool finds a young girl about to commit suicide from the top of the Uncanny Avengers' headquarters. He proceeds to stop her and distract her by taking her to a musical and along on a couple of crime fighting adventures and promises to let her go back after they're done. After the last adventure they end up here.

Hamilton may not be the best thing to show a suicidal person as it ends with the main character committing suicide via duel, but it's great anyway!

I really appreciate the ending being "Deadpool takes her to get help knowing that is what she really needs and wants" rather than "Deadpool convinces her life is worth living and it solves everything!"

Yeah! It's sort of a riff on those stories with Superman or Mister Fantastic doing something similar and resolving it through words alone. Deadpool's solution is "how about I take you to a hospital?"

Yeah, the message of "I can't save you, but I can help you find those who can" is JUST as inspiring of a message as any of the other "stop a suicidal" comics have had to say.

I don't think the All Star Superman one is an over simplification or anything. He doesn't cure Reagan's depression, he just steps in and gives a powerful message that someone cares, especially powerful given who he is and how relatively minor an event that is in the grand scheme of things, but he's still taking the time to reach out to her. Suicide is an impulsive act and I think the bit in rear end is more about reaching out in that particular moment than making everything better for the rest of her life.

The rear end moment is wonderful but it's important for comics to show that getting help isn't a weakness or crazy and you don't just need to 'realize life is worth living' to get over this sort of thing. An inspirational message is good but so is one that boils down to, simply, "it's okay to get help."

I think that moment may have been done slightly better in the JSA run where Kingdom Come Superman was transported into their world right as the nuke went off in Kingdom Come and his first action while everyone was freaking out about him showing up was to run outside and stop someone from committing suicide.

I'm not saying the Deadpool one is bad, and I like it a lot. Just put off slightly by the vibe that rear end did it wrong.

Well, it's a little off-putting in that no matter how it's handled in a Superman comic, there is no Superman for suicidal people in the real world. Meanwhile, as flawed and hosed up as Deadpool is, he took the time to distract a suicidal person while arranging for an opportunity for them to get help somewhere, and offered to go through it with them. That is a huge difference from the magical/super-science solution.

Nothing Superman did was really enabled by his powers, aside from flying up there in the first place, which, sure, it sucks if it happens when you literally cannot know about it or get there or something, but I think focusing on that is missing the forest for the trees. It's like, a message about putting yourself out there and investing effort into someone to pull them off the deep end, at least for those critical seconds. "Be good unto others and every man can be a superman" etc. He even specifically pointed out her doctor was caught and traffic and did care.

Dude outran the version of the Flash that was on the JSA, and the suicidal person had no doctor to turn to at the time.

Well, I'm not talking about that one, although the idea that loneliness in those moments is circumstantial and someone would drop everything else to come to your aid if they were able is good in and of itself.

The rear end scene is good because it's a quintessential example of Superman helping, not because he's powerful, but because of who and what he is. The Deadpool scene is good because the writer recognized that couldn't possibly work for Deadpool, and found a way that he could help anyway, and in a way that is both real and not often seen in cape comics. They're both good scenes.
