And at the other end, when Batman fought Prometheus who downloaded a bunch of files of skills, so he had the martial arts skills of all the greatest, Batman hacked in and swapped then with Stephen Hawking.

Nessus posted:Where was Batman during all this, if he was in Superman's body? Or did he just start standing there counting prime numbers to resist the enormous tension to go solve all crime forever while he has the chance? He was put in Superman's body. (Not all of them were straight swaps. Steel ended up in Kyle Ryners body. He ended up being taught how to use the ring and used it to build JCBs to fight goons.) He is only shown in one or two panels saying he is looking after Gotham and talks about how easy it would be for him to just rely on his super powers and nothing else. It was kind of disappointing how the story ignores this entire interesting story beat. Years later the Superman/Batman series would do a much better "Superman and Batman swap powers and Batman goes mad" story.

Batman: The Brave and The Bold had Batman gain Superman-like powers on Zur-En-Arrh where he helps the local Batman and eventually gets complacent and owned by the Lex Luthor equivalent.

The way her spells are not fully backwards irks me. Everything is backwards except the order of the words within each sentence. Edit: Still cool, though. Don't get me wrong. Lobok fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Jun 19, 2020 |

Flesh Forge posted:Well if it was straightforward and easy everybody could do it As someone who had way too much fun with reversing speech in the old Sound Recorder in Windows I'd say it's plenty hard already to say complete sentences fully backwards. We had enough trouble trying to get just "Steven is sad" correct. That's not the only place her magical power comes from though, right? I know very little about Zatanna other than the iconic costume and the backwards speech.

They probably try to sneak “close enough” lyrics as a way to not have to actually ask/buy the rights to use the actual lyrics?

Zatanna's power comes from her ability to speak backwards, yes, but a significant amount of her power also comes from her top hat, fishnets, and traditional stage magician garb. But ESPECIALLY the fishnets.

Is it specific phrases she needs to say backwards or does it not matter as long as it's tangentially connected to what she's trying to do?

She still gets jobbed regularly by the likes of Deathstroke (he chops her in the throat or something) and Prometheus (he shoots some capsule that creates a vacuum in her immediate area so her words can't be heard.)

Sort of like how Dr. Strange can do anything he wants as long as he drops some doggerel verse, Zatanna can do anything if she can say it backwards. On the other hand, one of them had to marry Paul Dini.

Some old One Piece. Reads right to left.  The dude getting punched beat up Luffy's new friends and stole all the gold they'd spent decades diving for.   Then Luffy and his crew went and rode an enormous geyser to an island in the sky.

The Straw Hats meeting Montblanc and crew were the first things I ever saw of One Piece, and it did really well in selling the arc villain as a smug piece of poo poo who deserves the biggest knuckle sandwich a rookie pirate can serve up. It's so much better in context, but that takes reading several chapters.
