[12:57] Jillian: I just realized my entire image of what warehouses look like on the inside is completely formed by Batman: the Animated Series.
[12:58] Treyu: ...Yes.
[12:58] Jillian: I mean, really, it's not like I get to go visit warehouses ever? Or see full shots of them on TV. But still. BATMAN.
[12:58] Treyu: I have a few 80s movies and some Power Ranger sets to back that up, but it's mostly Batman.
[12:59] Treyu: With plenty of floor space for fighting, that sort of thing.
[12:59] Jillian: heh heh. and extra crates just hanging around for people to be kicked into.
[12:59] Kai: hahaha yes
[12:59] Treyu: Crowbars lying in handy areas....
[13:00] Treyu: The occasional fire hazard, but only if needed for the plot.

[19:29] Kai: it's kind of like shirtless Ra's - oh wait
[19:30] Slarti: haha
[19:30] TK: YOU LEAVE SHIRTLESS RA'S OUT OF THIS
[19:30] Kai: NEVER.
[19:31] TK: That is between him and Batman and everyone else who was around at the time, and wow that sounded worse than I even intended, but I'm leaving it just so.

---

[19:33] TK: There is a whole blog dedicated to shirtless superheroes.
[19:34] TK: ...this cover is weird, why is he holding the whole costume if Bruce is still wearing pants
[19:34] TK: Does he wear pants UNDER HIS PANTS?
[19:34] TK: How crafty
[19:35] Claire: well when you know ra's is probably going to undress you like a creeper the second you pass out
[19:35] Claire: more pants become a good idea
[19:36] Slarti: It's his spare costume. Ra's raided his luggage from his hotel room, for extra creepy.
[19:37] Jeri: HAHAHAH
[19:38] Jeri: you guys are great.
[19:38] Jeri: that's all.

[17:20] Jillian: SFW
[17:23] Kai: ffffft
[17:23] Kai: The Blackest Night issue of Booster Gold is EXACTLY like that (no it's not)

"It's a twist: Metropolis IS Gotham during the day, and Gotham is Metropolis at night. So living in one is the as living in the other. WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND THAT ONE!"

"Go back to bed, Grant."

• observe! the perils of the multiverse.
• well, Lex, that's what you get.
• BREAKING NEWS! Tony Stark is Bruce Wayne!

( much talk of Green Lanterns, and also of J'onn, who is green. )

At scans_daily, commenters discuss the DCU writers' use of Luthor to vent their frustration at the American people for voting for Bush:

davidkevin: Truth be told I'd prefer Lex Luthor and Pete Ross to the monsters who usurped the Presidency and Vice Presidency in this universe.

dave_littler: It's tough to point at any single thing President Luthor ever did in office that's worse than what Bush has done. I admit I'm not a big DCU fan, but did he ever do anything which racked up 1,000,000 innocent deaths? If not, Bush has got that on him.

ezrael: Bush didn't inject himself with liquid kryptonite mixed with Bane's venom.

I'm not saying he wouldn't, merely that he didn't.

( Now with 20% more Rip Hunter. )

By way of explanation: we were all hivemind-reading this awesome blog that summarizes Goosebump books. You know, those R.L. Stine books from the 90s? With... somewhat questionable plots?

<Kai> "Gretchen pours drain cleaner, rat poison, amonia, and turpentine into the pie. I think Clark was onto something earlier when he said they weren't any good at making pies."
<Jillibean> "Kermit's latest experiment is to place tarantulas on Evan's head." ???? lololol.
<Jillibean> hahahaha that's Rip and Booster. "In order to go back in time and save Ted, you need to let me put this GIGANTIC FUCKING SPIDER on your head. B|"
<Kai> AHAHAA
<Slarti> haha
<Kai> Booster: ... Now you're just making this shit up >:O
<Jeri> HAAHA
<Jillibean> Skeets: But sir, it's Ted!
<Kai> Booster: ....................................... okay put the spider on my head ._.

- In reaction to the latest fuck-up on Countdown or Gotham Underground, simply look at this scan of Batman. Instant lulz.

- Tim has issues. (NSFW) Thank you for illustrating them, however you are!

- Booster Bustier Gold, best Green Lantern ever! slowpoke.

- Ohhhh! I see what you did there.

- I think J'onn would be a little offended at being at all associated with scientology, but hey. It could definitely be worse.

\m/ OREOS FOR XENU!! \m/

<kai> ............... Are
<kai> Are Booster's lasers
<kai> Really, really called "Booster Shots"

<Jillian> Skeets: *floating Rip head*
<kai> Skeets via Rip head: B|   Booster: WHAT DID I- wait. Skeets D:<
<Jillian> X3 X3
<Jillian> Skeets: BOOSTER TIME IS HARDENED, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH

<Jillian> Lulz, I see Animal Man is on the floor. AWESOME
<kai> this is the comic that panel is from
<Jillian> aaaand Batman is at the bar. scaring away would-be underage drinkers, no doubt.
<kai> Seriously, it's like, this party was designed to catch Poison Ivy?
<kai> Why did this require the entire Batfamily plus a million
<Jillian> Yeah, if anybody, you'd think they would be CONSPICUOUSLY PARTY POOPER ABSENT.
<kai> You'd think. Maybe they advertised it as a costume party.
<kai> SUPRISE! BATFUCKED.
