The Dark Knight Strikes Again

Every so often I read DK2 in the hopes of figuring out if I actually like it or not.



Still haven't figured it out. XD

But it does have its moments; and for me, the star of the show is definitely Barry, with some good bits for a few of our heroes. When the "Batboys" are using lethal force, Barry's the one who voices a concern. When they're fighting Clark in the cave, he's the one that brings that Justice League style banter to it, the only one who still has it in him, even after years of living in a hamster wheel. Also, I dig the reading glasses in costume.

( What the heck are you all finding so gosh-darned funny? )

Also, it has one of Ollie's best lines ever.

"My aim was, of course, impeccable."

Damn straight.

Fiendish Thingees

I'm writing this absurdly JLI bit for A Lifting Fog; and this is to blame, mostly.

Firstly, Scott and Ted in Justice League International #10. They're constantly bickering and insulting each other, even though it's pretty obvious they get along. Scott spends a lot of time riding shotgun while Beetle drives the League around. Let it never be said that Scott can't make a Star Trek joke. XD

( It came from outer space! )

"Good thing you don't store that thing in your pants." ::snicker::



And that, from #11. Oh Scott.

Thirteen issues after that spaceship incident with Kilowog, Beetle and Scott are still bickering about it. Le sigh. Also, Scott and Guy insult each other (trend much?) and J'onn laughs! Not at them. But he's so cute when he laughs, so that's fine. I think I can understand his frustrations.

( I mean, you almost got us killed by a fiendish thingee! )

You know what the really scary thing about Guy is? I think if the two of us hung out, we'd get along really well. Heh.
