I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


One of my favorite bits from Knightfall is Gordon being incredibly shocked when he turns away, turns back around and Batman is still there.

From the latest Superman issue. The Justice League brings some terminally ill kids to the space station and have a scavenger hunt, the most challenging item is a picture of Batman smiling. One of the kids whispers in his ear, Batman smiles and and all the kids snap a pic.

I'm imagining since the kids are terminally ill, the Flash tells one of them Batman's secret identity so he can go find Bruce Wayne pretending to be happy at a party or something. The kid hands the photo back to Batman and he's utterly mortified.

Pretty much that, yeah.

Tom King definitely gave her an inflection through the issue that's much stronger than other comics, though I was hearing Borat here

It was a John Oliver joke about conspiracy theories, that the Olsen twins were just one woman moving back and forth very quickly. Like most Oliver jokes, some people got way too into it.

Don't they technically still own Bug since their take was pretty much ruled as an original character?

Micronauts is weird in that like Rom, Spaceknight, Marvel owns almost everything they created for the comics just not some specific characters that weren't changed enough (Acroyear and Karza) or certain appearances (they can use Commander Rann but can't use his Space Glider costume IIRC). This is why they can still show up once every decade, same as Galador and the Space Knights. This is different than the other licensed comics Marvel did for Hasbro where Hasbro got to own everything that first appeared in a Transformers or G.I. Joe comic, which is why Death's Head first appeared in a one-page strip and Circuit Breaker shows up in Secret Wars II so Marvel could claim ownership of them.

Also they actually censored a character they completely own (Marionette) in that picture.

Godzilla, Rom, NFL Superpro, and a bunch of Micronauts (Commander Rann, Marionette, Bug, Biotron, Acroyear). The caption also mentions the Shogun Warriors, who I guess are represented by the hand reaching into the panel from the top.
