I knew exactly what this video would be before I even clicked it. One of the best Hnk moments.

The show/manga is so good.

More like the first season and a half of the show is so good, and everything else with the name doesn't quite live up to it.

Until that Yakuza game comes out anyway.

Why are all these martial artist mammals using guns?

For what it's worth, the Adolescent Radioactive Black-Belt Hamsters did use kung fu. Jackie, Chuck and Bruce preferred fists, staves and nunchucks; Clint threw a mean Tibetan Death Punch, but just happened to prefer a .44 Magnum.

The mutant animal book glut also led to Boris the Bear, whose first issue featured him slaughtering pretty much all of them. Including Usagi Yojimbo, for some reason.



But before long he got around to the real targets.

Presumably just walked away when there were no flashes left.

That said, doesn't Batman have knock out gas? You'd think he'd just gas Alfred and then work on a cure for Ivy's control, given that he likes Alfred and it's not the first time he's run into Poison Ivy controlling people against their will.

I don't know that 9 out of 10 doctors would recommend "haymakers from Batman" as a sleep aid either, but I suppose Bruce Wayne could afford a rigged medical study like a proper businessman.

Flash just zooms in and uses his super lungs to inhale all the gas before it reaches Alfred.

It's been a while since I've read anything from DC. Is that the status quo now? Like Bruce and Selina are a healthy couple and apparently everyone, or at least Ivy knows who he is?

Good for them.
Is Batman still a gloomy, self-hating douchebag with trust issues, who takes himself way to seriously and can't walk three steps without being reminded of his parents, who died from crime? If not, I'll have to check it out.
Batman was always the worst part of any Batman story.

Ah, so then the question is does Catwoman get killed before or after the wedding? Bets on "during the wedding" pay double!

I've been loving the both the Batman and Superman titles. I especially love how each thinks the other is more of a hero than they could ever be.

But if they fridge Selena, I'm done with DC forever.

I was actually coming back to post this. That would be kind of novel, since you know they can't have Batman be happy and so every cynic in the world is going to expect them to kill Catwoman instead. And then Catwoman has to deal with all the fallout from it. I could see that being readable.

I'd still prefer the twist to be "No, they actually get married and nobody dies and it's all good.", but you know someone is getting killed, or she's a robot, or it's a shapeshifter, or one of Poison Ivy's plant clone people, or something stupid.

If Superdickery was still a thing, it'd actually be Supes disguised as Catwoman and he'd reveal himself during the wedding and say he wanted to get back at Batman for the time he tricked Jimmy Olsen into becoming a Batman fanboy.

I've heard that they are supposed to kill off Batman after DK Metal finishes and keep him off the table for about a year. But I have yet to find a source for this rumor, so huge grain of salt.

IIRC, the current arc of Justice League takes place post-Metal.
