I have eaten one of those jumbo triple burgers with for and knife. The kind that you risk dislocating your jaw to eat.

I have an irrational hatred of sauce dripping out of a burger while you eat it with your hands. That being said I still ear burgers with my hands

I don't like to get schmutz on my hands and I have kind of bad jaw pain sometimes so I like tiny nibbles. I sort of prefer eating slowly and methodically anyway so I don't feel stuffed. I don't like, whip out a pewter service to eat a pb&j but on the rare occasion I wind up with something kind of tall and sloppy, look, much like Batman I want to be prepared.

I'm discussing 'recent' (as in within the past year or so) DC stuff with a friend, and I've got a random question. Have Punchline and Poison Ivy met each other yet?

Batman eats his steak well-done so his food choices are also not to be trusted.

Endless Mike posted:Batman eats his steak well-done so his food choices are also not to be trusted. I remember some Batman comic, where someone describes Bruce Wayne as eating like an at athlete in training. Which I found the fantastic description. Of course he also at one point tracked down one of those guys who won those "eat a giant steak meal" and had him teach him everything he knows. Just in case Batman ever needs to defeat Killer Croc at an eating contest, or something.

Robin remains really good as his shonen battle tournament arc continues. Deathstroke, Inc. is... well, first issue set-up but I'm interested to see where it goes. It already has a unique take on HIVE.

catlord posted:Batman & the Monster Men Yes! That's where that quote came from. Man that series (Batman and the Monster Men) was really good. So I had a memory that I think is relevant to the discussion at hand. In the early internet days (we are talking 2000's here) I spent a lot of time on Battleboards. You know, message forums for comic fans who would debate about who would win in fights. Honestly most comic fans around in those days probably spent time doing this. In many ways it gave me a lot of the discipline I needed for my future career in law. But one thing that would come up when it came to debating Batman was how (back then) DC's official position was that Batman was a master of all forms of martial arts. On top of being an Olympic level athlete and the Worlds Greatest Detective and all that jazz. So somebody did the math on that. So at the time the number of martial arts known about was given at 129. Doing a quick Google search now, the number seems to be about 170-190. But we will stick with 129 different forms of Martial Arts. That Batman is going to master. Then we will add in a bunch of other skills that Bruce is said to be a master in. (High Speed Driving, Manhunting, Chemistry, Forensic Science, Lockpicking, Escape Artistry, Eating Contests, Diving, Cunninglingus Etc...) So let's round it off and say between Martial Arts and other Batman skills there are 150 skills he is a master in. And according to Batman's history he went to College, got a degree then traveled the world before coming back to Gotham to be the Batman. So say he travels the world from when he's 21 and back in Gotham when he is 30. So that's nine years to do it all in. So nine years has 468 weeks in it. Divided by 150 skills gives him about three weeks per skill. Which means Bruce had to have a conversation like this. Bruce Wayne: Ah, are you George Batroc? The worlds greatest master of Savante, the French Martial Arts. Batroc: Yes. Bruce: I wish to learn from you. Batroc: Very well, I shall take you on as a student. But it will take a long time to teach you. Bruce: Sorry I don't have time for that. I'm sort of on a schedule here. I need this all to be done in two weeks. Three, tops. Batroc: Right. Bruce: Oh and I'm going to need you to teach me everything. Including all the secret moves that you have learnt that you were going to pass on to your most trusted students or children. Batroc: Okay. Bruce: Oh and while we are at it, I'm not going to give you my real name. I'm sort of a big deal and I can't take the chance that this might come back and be found out later on. Batroc: Right. And why should I do any of this? Bruce: I'll pay you $75,000 in cash. Batroc: Sure thing Mr. Smith. Let's make you a master. Now repeat this conversation 149 times, and you had what DC (and the Internet's) official stance on Batman's skillset was.

The last issue of Batman/Superman is a fun read if you like Gwenpool, or to a much greater extent, the French comic Invincible (not to be confused with Kirkman's Invincible) that gets posted every so often in the Funny Panels thread. I'm almost sure that one panel in the middle of the issue is an explicit acknowledgement, in fact.

Wait so like?? There's the story of an older Superman, in the future, recruiting Manchester Black and Midnighter et al into his Authority for some special mission... ...and yet that exact same thing is also happening now, in the present day, with the exact same characters, except here it's for the Warworld thing? Like we're just supposed to assume everything that Morrison was writing about future Superman is just...flat-out happening now, too?

I thought Superman and the Authority was also "now". It's kind of confusing. Or maybe Morrison is doing a metastory about how stories constantly repeat by doing the exact same story at the same time.

Vincent posted:"Comics will break you Speaking of Jack Kirby, I picked up the OMAC collection, and it is super casual about dropping absolutely horrific sci-fi stuff with absolutely no fanfare. Like, in the very first issue they effectively murder Buddy Blank to create OMAC and it's just never really commented on. I had lots of fun, but it's also not subtle about being cancelled in the middle of a storyline.

Having Tom King say that Superman's actually somehow deep down secretly a cop in this new WW anniversary special is...well, I don't really know what it is. It might even be nothing, tbh. But I feel like it's...something. On the other hand, Diana is so often relegated to being the inhuman joyless square when interacting with Clark that I do kinda like the dynamic being reversed for once. It's at least a novel take, if nothing else.
