That reads to me like there was an inversion somewhere in history, but the Bat-mobile at least must be older than Green Arrow. How early did Batman get his cave?

Well, I am just relying on the wiki, but from there at least it appears that the Batcave first appeared in 1942, while the Arrowcave appeared in 1941. Meaning that Batman is actually the imposter!  But Batman comes out ahead on the Batmobile (1940) and Batplane (1940) compared to the Arrowcar (1941) and Arrowplane (1947). I had no idea that Green Arrow was so old.

We just didn't see it yet! HAHAHAHABATMAN IS ALWAYS BEST AND HE CAN BEAT UP SUPERMAN.

I remember when Arrow first started, tons of people who didn't know anything about the character and were like "this guy's just a ripoff of Batman"! Which of course couldn't be truer to the comics.

Of all of those I actually really appreciate 'arrowplane' because it is a good play on 'Aeroplane'. But it doesn't work nearly as well if you are American/Canadian.

Should be pointed out that Arrow cave is still a really dumb name and whoever created Green Arrow should feel real dumb for not thinking of The Quiver first. Except he's probably dead.

Given that Morrison used Merryman and Dumb Bunny in Animal Man, then used Dumb Bunny again in Seven Soldiers and had Merryman return as the King of Limbo in Final Crisis, I always wondered if he was the one who had The Blimp carrying Booster Gold's coffin in 52.

Possibly, but he'd be on the short list of jobbers to make Booster's funeral pathetic. I'd read a book just about the conversations the creators had making 52. Getting Waid and Morrison back together is enough, but then you throw in Rucka, Johns, Giffen, and Wacker. And those J.G. Jones covers. 52 wasn't perfect, but it was 52 issues of pure comic goodness by some of the best in the business.

If you can get your mitts on copies of the four TPBs that originally collected 52 (now out-of-print), they devote a page after every issue talking about which creator contributed what to that week's ish. Like, one writer (I think it was Waid) lost his father to cancer, so that's who handled those heartbreaking scenes with The Question. Also fun tidbits like "whoops, we drew Kate Kane's menorah with the wrong number of candles; it's been corrected here". Not sure if those notes are in the omnibus edition. quote:52 wasn't perfect, but it was 52 issues of pure comic goodness by some of the best in the business. One of the best birthday presents my husband ever gave me was a full set of the individual issues (I used to repeatedly check out the 4 trades from my library until they withdrew them, or someone stole them, or something  ). 52 is probably my favorite run of comics ever.

In all my time here perusing BSS, I've never seen a book get as much praise as 52. Conversely, I've never seen so much disappointment and and outright mockery in BSS as I did for Countdown.
