Reminds me of the first image Selenophile uploaded.

@Icicle Niceicle 1517

So, what’s the jury’s opinion on this debate?

@CaptainXtra
What debate?

You mean like whod win in a fight or whose the better character or…?

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
Either case.

@CaptainXtra
Owl man for both becuse the gimp with long dumb name is fucking played out.

@Angrybrony
Owl Man also came close to Destroying the multiverse.

@CaptainXtra
I hate the Laughing Bat because he’s a real case of unchecked Bat-Glazing (and by the nature of the characer, also Joker-Glazing). The Laughing Bat is the collection of all of the worst “Batman Wins” arguments.
What if Batman kills. What if Batman doesn’t hold back. What if Batman has no morals. What if Batman agrees with the Joker.
The Laughing Bat is essentially this: Batman, a human from freaking Gotham City, is completely able to turn the multiverse upside down and throw hands with the strongest gods, if he weren’t so restricted.

It’s ISEKAI-TIER power creep fucking cringe.

Owl Man meanwhile, is based.

@tehwatever
Sounds like a villain-Sue.

To be honest, I kinda tire of the whole “What if the good guy was bad/and vice-versa,” trope, as it’s been done to death. We see more “Superman goes bad” stories then normal ones frankly.

And I’m not talking about those “Super Dickery” fake-out covers from the Silver Age. At least, those are hilarious.

Old Superman was weird.

@Beau Skunky
Oh he absolutely is. His one of the worst I’ve seen in years.

@CaptainXtra
The Batman who laughs is like the worst possible version of “au hero turned villain”

His story sounds like it belongs in the edgelord 90s, not from the late 2010s

@Commune
I think the dark, edgelord phase of comics started in the 80s actually, (with the old gorilla looking Batman, and such) I dunno.
Considering there were old Calvin and Hobbes comic strips making fun of them.

“I could feel my spine shatter, it hurt a lot. Next issue Injuries to Go!”

It’s a sign of how much I loved Calvin and Hobbes that I instantly remembered the exact panel you’re talking about.

@Background Pony #9DED
Mom : “There’s too much violence on TV, why don’t you go read something?”

Can’t find the actual comic, but that was funny.

@Background Pony #9DED
Thanks, I like the moment where it says, “See issue #374” in a comic caption.
I remember when even Sonic the Hedgehog comics were full of those too.

“Stop referencing issues I don’t have!”

@Beau Skunky
Strangely theres always been a pattern where literature is allowed to be more edgy even for kids. But tv always is censored. Like how anine often censors the mist gruesome of manga.

Still I think the mom doesnt read enough comics to know how insane comics can get. (I know I was when I read a first serious comic.)

Never got into Lord of the Rings But man Warner Bros sucks at marketing.
The War of the Rohirrim Releases in just over a month and paddington in peru is the first movie i’ve seen so far with a trailer before it

In the series Rescue Me there’s a character played by the Allstate “Mayhem” guy who plays Denis Leary’s brother.

He likes pizza, FTR.

After a break I’m back to binging Rescue Me and the firefighters open an episode talking about measuring their dicks…

Such a warm, friendly workplace environment…

I’ve been binging The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu (since it’s now suddenly relevant given last week’s events.) You NEED to watch it if you haven’t already.
