Ponsonby Britt: Mar 13, 2006; I think you mean, why is there silverware in the pancake drawer? Wassup?

But was that because the original song was still popular? Or because a new popular band was singing it?

The answer is Paul is alive and the other three are dead.

The dead one is in the grave behind them, the other four are alive. Robin's hand is obscuring the fifth band member on the album cover, since otherwise there'd be an empty space on the right, and the reader is just assuming the band is a quartet like the Beatles.

If that's actually it I want a prize or something.

Chubby Checker 1959. He's still out there twistin' to this day too!

I wasn't trying to imply the Beatles invented it or anything, just that if the most popular band in the world was singing about it in 1963, it probably was still a popular dance a year earlier.

Pot is slang for cylinder, and even then its usually used solely to refer to 4 cyl engines.
e.g.:A Four pot engine

It's essentially lifted verbatim from Jules Feiffer's essay on Superman in his 1965 book "The Great Comic Book Heroes"

So yeah, very gold/silver age.

Ultimately it doesn't matter if it's spot on or not. Bill's a psychopath so I don't think you're supposed to take his interpretation at face value.

I mean as part of that speech he says that Superman's the only one that applies to and it doesn't apply to Batman, whereas it's pretty obviously always applied to Batman and in modern times definitely applies to Batman way more.

If anything it is supposed to speak more about Bill's character than anything else, in that he literally can not comprehend someone with great power hiding it and only using it for altruism.

Batman's attitude as Bruce Wayne is way more obviously a critique of the idle rich than it is of humanity as a whole. This is basic, ya dingus.

It's also completely irrelevant which comic character he talks about because he's really talking about the Bride.

In theory that's what we should think. And in nearly any other work of fiction I would say "the villain doesn't get it."

But this was written by Quinten Tarantino. And if there's anybody Edge-lord enough to say that and think that he's saying some universal truth in his film, it's that guy.

The whole scene is Bill ranting about superheroes and the Bride clearly only tolerates it because he has her at gunpoint. I really don't see how Bill is portrayed as being right. And even if he is, so what? It's not important if Tarantino is right or wrong about Superman because that's not the point of the scene.
