"Forgetting everything you learned from Emma Frost" is hilarious.

I like how Husk is apparently the entire arts & lit department, and Cannonball is only good for teaching people how to fly into things headfirst.

It goes back to Batman punching out Guy in the 80's. It resurfaced in Rebirth and pops up once in a while. As Guy says "Lanterns and Batman don't mix."

Which is really dumb, because Batman's problem wasn't with Green Lanterns. Batman's problem was with Guy, because Guy is an rear end in a top hat.

I remember at least one comic mentioning that Batman didn't like Green Lanterns because they're not afraid of anything, and at least part of his effectiveness comes from making people afraid of him. There's a reason a Sinestro Corps ring tried to recruit him.

Smells like Johnsian revision to me. Batman never had a problem with Hal that I can think of until he went bonkers, killed a bunch of people and tried to destroy the universe. But a somewhat rational "fool me twice" attitude won't work for Johns; Batman has to not like/trust Hal because he's a dick, because Hal is teh awesomez.

(Can you tell I don't think much of Johns's writing on GL?)

Nah, Hephaestus looks like this in WW:


Anyway, on to funny things. The new Batman & Robin Annual is all about Damian sending Bruce on a globetrotting adventure finding out stuff about his parents. There's a lot of touching stuff in there. But there's also a lot of funny stuff. Like for example, the first spot on the trip happens to be a hotel in London. As it turns out, the manager is one of Alfred's buddies from his pre-butler days as an actor. So that gets Alfred thinkin' about the good ol' days.

Then this happens:



So Bruce leaves Alfred in London and takes off. Then at the end of the story, Bruce (and Damian) come back to pick him up and... catch a little entertainment.




Frankly, I'm with Damian. Two Gentlemen of Verona is one of Shakespeare's worst plays.

The Superman/Spider-Man ones are pretty good. The second one has my favorite scene in any crossover ever, where Spider-Man and Wonder Woman are separately prowling around Dr. Doom's secret lair, and as soon as they run into each other, Doom comes on the PA system and says something like, "Good work, Spider-Man! Now crush Wonder Woman, and our victory will be assured!" And she completely falls for it.

I think the thing was that the Avengers paid 16,000 dollars a year to members but they told him he had to defeat the Hulk to join so he made knock out gas or something anyway he used it and Hulk turned into Banner and then Spidey was like well poo poo he's just a guy dealing with his problems and didn't join.

i am pretty sure i didn't make that up.

That was in the '60s. Then in the '80s he tried to join (again for the money), but the government wouldn't let him because Henry Gyrich is a dick.

Who was the first person to write Aunt May as anything but an idiotic burden?

Stan Lee, although Ditko may have had some input as well. I'm thinking specifically of the scene in Amazing #18 where she verbally bitch-slaps Peter out of the funk he's been in for the whole issue.

After that, though? JMS.
