Dick Tracy has had video-calling cell phones and moon colonies for over 50 years so the times are yet to catch up to it.

Is it just me, or is Superman doing a smug "yeah, I'm a badass" thing with his face in the first panel? Is that a new-52 thing? I'm not a big Superman fan, but when I do like him, it's when "smug" is the farthest thing from his mind.

Steel is doing the exact same eyebrow lift and smirk so either they've all zoned out of the conversation and Wonder Woman is doing something entertainingly distracting that we can't see or he's piggybacking on the "I used to be kind-of Superman once".

Baron Bifford posted:

This panel never really made sense to me. Psychopaths sometimes profess to deeply love somebody they seriously abuse, but this is because they don't really understand what "love" means. If true love and anguish hold some sort of supernatural power (this is a comic book) then these netherdemons aren't really getting what they asked for.

The netherdemons aren't 'getting' the love and don't care if it's real - the bargain isn't for that, the bargain is for Doom to knowingly and irretrievably drat himself.

Sizone posted:

You know what, yes, I am. Matters of sexism, "the artist has never actually seen a real live girl" and good taste aside, skeletal elasticity seems to be a thing in comics. Can spiders spin their heads 180 degrees? Is it o.k. because it's Jameson's paranoid delusion? I want a canonical answer to rule out the possibility that the artist doesn't understand anatomy.

Because while keeping a character's face, and therefore expression and large source of personality and tone, visible at an angle that you really shouldn't be able to see it is a poor compositional choice, it's not quite as poor or sexist a choice as keeping a characters boobs and butt visible as those parts of the body do not perform anywhere near the same function as a face in human communication.

I hope someone can identify the source, because I dare to dream whatever mental malady has befallen the Caped Crusader leads to Batman sitting at a Knicks game with baffled bombshells, blonde and brunette, one on each arm.

The source was easy - Batman #303 - but the synopsis reads like a loving Newspaper Spider-Man plot arc :psyduck:

quote:

Synopsis for "Batman's Great Identity Switch"
Batman is struck on the head by a rock while fighting the Dodo Man, a crook with a psychotic urge to steal anything related to dodos, in the Museum of Natural History. The blow reverses his identity-switching impulse, so that he battles criminals as Bruce Wayne and appears in civilian life as Batman. He cannot understand the commotion he raises by doing so. Alfred consults his doctor and learns that the cure may be placing Batman back where he was hit by the rock. Thus, he places a bat-transmitter bug in the Natural History Museum under a stuffed dodo's wing. When Bruce Wayne tracks it down, his reversed-identity impulse is corrected and he dons his Batman uniform. As Batman, he intercepts the Dodo Man trying to steal the stuffed dodo, and captures him.

I'm going to double-down on pedantry and mention that it doesn't matter which way it's facing because it's a bi-directional symbol.

Also, norse gods throw loving hammers in their glass houses - hammers with engraved swastikas on them - so it's no wonder they'd hate nazis for co-opting their symbol.

I find the best way to think of things is that T-Ray was a psycho with a band-aid on his nose and leave it at that.

What has Remender got to do with anything???

Remender was the one who decided that Havok would have a point of view, what point of view that was, how he would express it, and ultimately Remender was the one who told people who disagreed with Havok's extremely privileged and socially unconscious position to drown themselves in hobo piss.

well if you want to get into it magnetos powers CAN give him control over a person's thoughts.

Granted, but it's treated as a ridiculous extension of his base powers over metal these days rather than in the 70s where it was just "this idiom has 'magnetic'/'magnetism' in it, which means Magneto must be able to do it!"
