Something about that panel makes me think of Nightwing fighting drug pushers in Bludhaven reminiscing like, ah, those were the days, when me and Bruce had that giant glass house and we kicked back on the sofa while foiling crooks.

I'm reminded of his first appearance in the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon. He and Spidey go back and forth trading verbal barbs, and then Spider-man has to stop and go "Hey, nice banter!!". And he's right, because all the villains up til then had been pretty dull in the mid-fight lines department.

It was a good way of showing him as a legitimate threat, somehow. And besides the prison episode, his writing was always top notch Goblin.

Real shame the series was replaced with the USM one.

This is even better within the context of Batman and Catwoman recently making out like horny teenagers on the tunnel of love ride.



Bruce is like one of those kids from a sheltered background that goes crazy in college.

Incidentally, for anyone confused, that’s Clark and Lois in the Batman and Catwoman costumes and Bruce and Selina in the swan that follows. The amusement park they all went to had a “dress up” night and you couldn’t get in without a costume. So Bruce and Clark swapped outfits, and Lois wore Selina’s outfit, but I don’t remember how Selina got away with not wearing a costume.

I don't think you can get much more sheltered than "sent away to boarding school to avoid being raised by the butler".

Batman quite literally spends his life wearing fetish gear in his parents' basement while mentoring teenage boys and dating a woman who pretends to be a cat.

I know that's an old joke from a Wonderella strip loads of regulars here know, but it bears repeating-- that is literally what Bruce Wayne does with his time.

Dude is arrested development personified.

It's in the song 1st of tha Monthby Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. I always assumed it was related to "fading" your hair, since the next line was about braids, but maybe I am the lame, uncool one.

I was inspired by this whole conversation to use that sense of the word in a sentence in class so my students could identify slang and write without it, and everyone above 20 got it but my teenagers did not. Young kids must not be listening to the classics anymore.

What's the funniest superhero unmasking you can think of? I feel like it's a story element with a lot of potential since with the kind of persona Bruce Wayne projects, discovering that he's Batman should be like discovering that Perez Hilton is a superhero.

The one in the Justice League Unlimited cartoon where Flash and Lex Luthor swap bodies. Lex goes and unmasks himself saying "Well, at least I'll know who Flash is" and doesn't recognize him. Which makes sense. Why would a billionaire super-villain from metropolis recognize the face of a random dude from Keystone.
