I haven't read this comic but I get the running visual ambiguity that Wolf may or may not have a mouth. That's pretty neat.
He is shown speaking with a visible mouth all the time. This is not a thing, sorry.

How has Aquaman not destroyed DC Japan yet

vv I meant that in a general sense, since what Japan did with whaling makes that look like small beans.
You forget that in the comic world, Japan's main exports are 1) martial artists and 2) more martial artists.

If it's a parody, it's not a great one, but without any further context, the dramatic, unexaggerated narration and the fact that it was posted in the Badass panels thread gives the idea it's meant to be taken as an awesome moment, but it's just goofy.
It's not parody, but there's no way to take Death By Internal Shark super seriously, either.

I forgot, but did they ever deal with Starbrand accidentally killing an entire town or did Hickman just went "...but then THIS". Because the last time a superhero accidentally destroyed a town, we got a lovely Mark Millar summer event.
He was a completely unwilling participant in a faulty White Event, so it would be weird to blame him for the destruction of the college he was at at the time.

Hand of the King posted:

Serious questions: I don't know anything about DC. Does Batman have a plan for every villain and superhero? Does he ever lose?
Kind of depends what "lose" means. Do stories end with him regularly being killed by supervillains? Well, uh, no. But that applies to every established superhero. He certainly faces setbacks and defeats during storylines (see the current Bat-arc under Snyder).

Being a master pre-planner has become part of Bruce's personality and general strategy, to explain how he can stay toe-to-toe with near-gods and monsters. A good writer can make it seem natural and exciting. A poor writer makes it clunky and eye-rolling.
