I don't read much DC nowadays, but can someone explain to me why Darkseid - Dark God of Apokolips - is chilling on a couch smirking at a young superhero?

Shouldn't he be, I don't know, leading armies in conquest of entire galaxies or something?

Lost in the discussion is the fact that Gavok's edit is hilarious.

And yeah, I can see ringing 911 and saying,"There's a grizzled heavyset Italian dude in my local bar, I think he's The Punisher!" going down real well with the police.

I'm pretty sure she wasn't actually raped. The whole 'photo shoot' aspect was more about Jim than Barbara if you're taking this from the Killing Joke.

Yeah that's always the impression I got too, the Joker had zero sexual interest (or power interest, for that matter) in Barbara, he just took the photos to get a rise out of Gordon to prove a point that one bad day can make anyone into a monster. Of course, Gordon specifically tells Batman NOT to kill the Joker and bring him in to face justice, proving the Joker wrong.

Gaz-L posted:

(Plus I hate the cliche that if any female character has some tragedy occur, it HAS to involve rape, somewhere. Pissed me off when Heinberg did it in Young Avengers no end.)

Absolutely, it's one of the (many) reasons I loved Alias so much, they avoid the cliche and make what happened to her far worse without resorting to the shock value of :siren:RAPE!:siren: which would have been a lazy and "easy" out for the writer to take.

I got this idea from a post in the Arkham Asylum thread in games, based on the very reasonable idea that Batman and Superman are obviously 15 years old.

So it's a little like the old JLI/JLE days when the "other" members of the Justice League got to continue their adventures on a somewhat more mundane level than the over the top antics of the big time heroes like Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern etc?

No, Gavok just swapped some panels around to make that joke. The actual issue has them all happy at the end (and Aquaman shaves). However for some reason DC does insist they're not married despite them being King and Queen of Atlantis. You'd think that'd imply marriage but apparently nope.
