I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Nope nothing evil at all about othering more than half the country and accusing them of vague acts en mass and promising violence as a means of justice. Nothing evil about that at all.

My favorite thing about this, other than my irl reaction to turning the page to see a photo realistic illustration of Ayatollah Khomeni in my Batman book, is that the previous issue is the one where Joker murders Jason Todd with a crowbar. You probably know the story, about how DC held a phone contest as to whether Jason Todd, the second Robin, should live or die, and die won narrowly. It's one of the most famous and tragic events in Batman history, it still comes up all of the time in modern stories, and it was in the middle of some goofy arc about Iran making the Joker their UN ambassador.

That comic run was hilarious because diplomatic immunity apparently makes Joker immune from all crime. He is murdering people and everyone is throwing up their hands saying, "He's got diplomatic immunity! There's nothing we can do!"

It was one of the weirdest comic ideas in history.

Maybe second to when Superman introduced a plot arc about pink kryptonite that turned Superman gay and made him obsessed with interior decorating (thus leaving him unable to defend the city) in *checks notes*... 2003.

No, that was a different comic.



They got backlash for the pink kryptonite thing and later changed it so it swapped the genders of kryptonians and turned Superman into a woman. Then, they just abandoned it and never mentioned it again.

Sometimes. But sometimes the law says "nuh uh!" (the green lady is a lawyer, I'll have you know)



Or at least this goes against Joker's immunity as Leon described. Of course the :doom: in the embassy window is a robot and the guy in the mask is the REAL von DOOM (or is he?!), but anyway, international law is about as consistent as it is in our world.

Superman says that it is an imaginary line, but then lets him go and vows to destroy him next time he sees him.

This just raises more questions about how diplomatic immunity works for DC characters.

This seems more like a personal grievance rather than law enforcement. Though I'm not sure how the "law enforcement" aspect of the 80's FF was handled, legally speaking, either. Certainly in a trial setting any defense lawyer would have a field day with any member of FF on the stand, they all have very understandable personal issues with von DOOM.

All modern polls need a "general lethargy" option.

Also, I know general health has improved over the years, but 14% of the population was too sick to go vote in 1948?

looks like 14% of the nonvoting population unless you think the turnout that election was -113%
