#'where has superman been'

[uncharted-constellations]

Batman "I don't like working with others, I don't trust them, and I won't sacrifice Gotham to help out unless it's absolutely dire."

*Has an extensive network of vigilantes in Gotham and elsewhere, is on 85 different Justice League Rosters, would die for half of them*

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man *fighting every hero he ever meets*

"Weird that no-one likes me, don't know what their fucking problem is, I should fight them"

#batman #spider-man #i always think its so fucking funny when every justice league adaption goes 'he isnt a team player' like #he's been in so many different variations of the justice league its not even funny #autumn could start late and this man would have a team assembled #meanwhile mr friendly neighborhood over here has probably engaged in fisticuffs with every marvel character in existence #because they rightfully looked at him funny #one of my favorite panels in his avengers run is him throwing wolverine out of an UnBreakable window because he called mj dimwitted #also that superman/spider-man crossover where peter broke his hands trying to punch him into submission #i was gonna say this man would punch his own reflection if it looked at him funny but considering the clone saga exists #he basically has

can someone tell me why im being abnormal about a character i've barely touched the content of. like yay yippie i watched like 20 hours of you. there's fucking 80 years of content get me OUT OF HERE?

#yeah this is about nightwing. yes im a freak about him no i don't do well with comics #shout out to duke thomas in the we are robin comic i've had in my browser tabs for three weeks now #sorry king. #i mean i guess it makes sense because theres So many characters in media that you can't even get 20 hours out of . but. BUT ITS NOT FAIR. #i want to read comics so bad. i try to. i have. i've started several #blue beetle 2009 nightwing 2016... superman & batman world's finest #i was able to finish teen titans world's finest but that was only. like. six issues #comics as a medium just has this thing where. you're dropped in and it kinda expects you to know what's happening #and leaves you feeling like you started on the wrong page. like blue beetle. loved you but man that was not the greatest first comic to rea #wait i forgot i read hawkeye 2011(?) and that also had the same issue. but more so each installment like #felt like it was starting on a point AFTER something happened like i was meant to be reading another comic before i got to that issue. #i got. like. idk 18? 19? comics into that one. and 12 into nightwing. nightwing wasn't as bad but it just. gah. like several-issue long #stories carried across batman and nightwing and its like.OUGH. #i know im mutuals with a comic person. hi. i know you're cringing. #there are so many good characters to come out of comics. its just SO HARD to get into. #rn i dont have an excuse with We Are Robin. just that i've been infected with needing to play the sims for 8 hours a day. #mika-posts

miss when batfam members had lives outside of their vigilante bullshit

#if i remember correctly td:r tried to give tim a live outside of being robin but. that shit was cancelled lmao #like... genuinely where did their lives outside of vigilante-ing go after the n52 happened #where did they GO. #dc #dc comics #also just in gen superheroes have been having less personal lives as of recently #aghhhh #at least the superfam is getting. somewhat of a life outside of superhero-ing #but even then it doesn't mean it's super fully there #only superman has one as of rn.again: ikrc #whatever

[thefaeriefeatherdark]

I do think the wildest part of the Skyrocket/Connie concept is that Visaggio seemed to legitimately believe that Kon-El is like... a D-List superhero. Which is just like, a wild thing to believe considering the Comic Kon won in a fan poll hadn't even finished coming out at the time she pitched her idea.

#dc comics #dccomics #superboy #kon el #Like if she was maybe 15 years younger I'd get it? Because that'd be growing up on 2010s comics where Kon didn't have a book for most of it #But like Kon was in books during the 90s. He was in books during the 2000s. He was in books until like 2014? #And then he came back in 2019 and got a book again. #Kon's at worst a lower c-tier character but probably more like upper C-tier? #Constantly in adaptations pretty consistently in or has a comic. #The big periods where Kon hasn't been in comics is like 'Kon was killed because of stuff happening in editorial or on a corporate level' #Like it's from 2006 to 2009 (dead) and then 2014-2019 (Dead + weird N52 stuff). #Arguably Kon was sort of not in comics between the end of Bendis YJ and then YJDC... But he did have appearances. #Also there were like 8 events during that time and frankly Suicide Squad was using Match which I'll count. #Kon doesn't always have a solo book but he tends to have one more often than lots of other characters. #Even when not in a solo he still tends to be in team or Superman books. #Will add that I don't oppose Kon being trans conceptually and I've given my thoughts on that specific outline for a story before. #I just think in future check that a character is a D-list character before deciding to do a massive reinvention

I'm finally watching My Adventures with Superman and struggling hardcore to not compare everything to the gold standard of Superman adaptations, Smallville

but the thing that drew me out of the immersion immediately was subtitles saying Jor-El's hologram was speaking Kryptonese

WHAT THE FUCK IS KRYPTONESE

#is there a single Superman incarnation where it is Kryptonese bc to my knowledge it has always been Kryptonian #also Jimmy is SUCH a highlight already klanjndsjksdf #speecher speaks

One day, mid way through a meeting, the zeta tube announces the arrival of Batman. Everyone turns to give him a piece of theirs minds for showing up hours late, except he’s barely standing, half his mask ripped off reveals a blue eye that isn’t focused on anything, matted black hair full of blood, he has stubble on his chin and he’s missing a tooth. His hand cluches his stomach as a knife pokes through his fingers he still tries to contain the blood, every breath he takes looks painful and there’s an indent in his ribs that wasn’t supposed to be there, there’s rips all over his suit revealing battered armour underneath, his cloak has long since been torn off and one of his entire boots is missing (along with a sizeable chunk of flesh), and J’onn cringes over at the pain and hunder and thirst and pain coming from his mind, iced over by vauge shock.

(Sorry about any typos, might write a fic on this I dunno)

#this was originally going to be an au #where no one knows about the rest of the batfam #he throws them comm links with a bat signal on them #and manages to say to go to gotham and bludhaven #and then is brought to emergency care #and even oracles clocktower has been attack #there was going to be roughley a chapter dedicated to each hero finding a bat in horrible health. #nightwing has never been so greatful to see superman #red robin was trapped underground and was holding up ruble to save civillains #he colapses onto green lantern from caffine withdrawl and pain and exaustion and over exertion and- #red hoods only barely hanging on due to pit rage and that is definitely his blood #and ect #and the justice league is horrified #because they get a cold reminder #that the bat(s) is very much human #and while they push themselves to be the strongest they can be #to the point of fighting gods #they are still very much human #and seeing all these traumatised kids pushing themselves so far #too far #to save people #and they all give last words before they pass out #and every single one is about their dad #is their dad safe #will he survive #can they see him #oh please let them see him #he’s their dad he can do anything he can protect them and save the day #and even Red Hood says something along those lines and how he never wanted their relationship to end up like this #lazerswordweilder writes

[wedding-shemp]

starting the justice league cartoon from the beginning. i've never heard the phrase "weapons of mass destruction" in a children's cartoon.

#this pilot aired in november of 2001 btw. fascinating #for context. the plot of this pilot is that superman has been asked by the un to personally dismantle all WMDs #and everyone thinks this is a great idea except one asshole general who storms out #i cannot wait to see where this is going #i mean i remember where it ENDS #itends with the justice league getting together #and i think starro is involved somehow #this show fucking rules

[oifaaa]

I think Jon’s blue as a reference to a Superman arc where Clark turned into like an energy being with a totally different power set. I don’t have the whole context, I just remember reading Kon’s run and seeing Clark cameo w/ blue skin & hair. Tbh they should have taken Jon’s blueness further, Clark’s redesign was gnc af

I doubt that's it considering clarks blue bc he was split into two there's that blue version of him and then a red version so unless there's a red Jon running around that isn't on that wee character sheet I don't think that's the reason Jons blue

#Ask #Cakercanart #Or maybe I'm wrong and that is whats happening #Won't know until the comic comes out lmao #Ive been thinking about it tho #Maybe Jons blueness has to do with that dagger that Clark gets at the end of the warworld arc #It was blue and electricy #Also on the topic of warworld #Still disappointed Clark didn't return to earth in his wee fighter gladiator outfit #oh nm blue jon's gonna have something to do with Lazarus planet lmao #And he is based on superman blue #I'm an idiot it's fine #I'm still curious where red Jon is then

me: hmm when these dc cartoons get watered down and more Kiddy and less cinematic I’m gonna miss the darker storytelling…

Justice League circa early 2000s: hey so if the League ever takes over the planet Superman is gonna lobotomize all the extra evil villains and the earth will be under a dictatorship where it’s ok everyone is safe now (but not really) ya know that Classic Cliche plot for 10 year olds

me:

JL: also there’s this guy who can psychologically torture them in their dreams. Also there’s this caveman guy who can live forever but instead of improving humanity or something he just straight up becomes a Nazi. it ends with Superbat. (the part when superman hugs batman) Also

#xD #it's been MONTHS. i am still Agog at that episode jesus christ #i WANT to talk about these. my fave ep is the dreams one. #SUPERMAN HAS A DREAM WHERE HE KILLS LOIS AND JIMMY AND LIKE EVERYONE I GUESS AND THEN HE HIDES IN HIS SPACESHIP AT MA AND PAS #there are things to be said about that. and everyone else!! but i caaaaant find the woooords they escape me i hate writing #i Still havent finished it. the first one yeah but not Unlimited when the billion other superheroes join. i took a break xD #i can't move on and watch the rest until i say Something about it on this hellsite. or post a clips compilation. lol idk #justice league #justice league animated #ramble

[gothamcityneedsme]

@yarrayora said: “jimmy, you’re my only pal” is usually heartwarming but rn it’s just heartbreaking

if dc is going to keep taking the legion out of supermans backstory, im going to make it Worse

#Shitpost #yarrayora #im thinking like. A story where superman has been made to forget #and because he forgets he actually takes some actions that he wouldnt have if he remembered #so he starts slowly and subtly erasing and changing the future #and this makes the legion vanish #because the 31st century isnt the same without superman doing some specific things #idk i just like want it to be Key that he remembers? #I think thats really interesting #He has to know he must live to uphold his own destiny #and if he doesnt know theres something missing. The legion changes or is just gone #id have to think more on specifics

[masonsystem]

#tht pic of batman where hes resisting the autistic urge to correct someone? literally me rn #its a joke a silly joke but AUGHHH #batman and superman have been making sweet sweet love since the 60s #batman has been STEEPED in sexuality my psychosexual king of perceived homosexuality #and every insane male writer portraying their male fantasies on him. him getting it silly w talia n selina as well #ok autistic urges have been calmed. im alright now

Lv2 kara Cheat datta Motoyuusha Kouho no Mattari Isekai Life...

I remember reading a few chapters of the manga on r/manga about three-four years back, and my memory of it is hazy, so I'm practically going into this blind.

It's a good first episode, other than the last six-seven minutes where the ladies immediately accuse and label Flio of being a predator for simply offering to take Fenrys on an escort quest to the Delaveza Forest via Teleportation, only to play take-backsies not even two minutes later and tell him no can do they're gonna wipe her out because she's actually a demon.

Like, if the accusation was done in a way that hinted to the viewer they were trying not tip the kid off that they were onto her, then the show did a poor job of it and it clearly doesn't go in that direction.

Which is a shame, because you could've had the next episode be about Flio having cute bonding moments with Fenrys, only to get pulled aside by Balirossa and the girls halfway through and be told they're keeping tabs on her because she's soliciting help at a guild she's not registered to and all but signaling she's Dark Army, they know she's lying through her teeth, so that could've added some much-needed tension to the plot. But that's not the story the anime wants to tell, so instead you don't get to know these adventurers that accuse Flio right off the bat (for something they're proven wrong about) and rush from Point A to Point B without any time to let the plot breathe whatsoever.

Here's hoping it recovers from that little stumble, because as an isekai story featuring a God Mode MC there is some potential to it.

#i say 'some' b/c you can easily fumble that kind of plot set up #like. it CAN be done right #look at superman #dude is practically a god and has to treat the world like he's walking through cardboard #otherwise he WILL end fucking things up even if it's unintended #and tbf it's been a long while since i read the manga #so there is a 50/50 chance it's going to be good #and another 50/50 chance of it being another run-of-the-mill gimmick power fantasy #i'm probably being too skeptical and nitpicky with this #but my experience w/ isekai fantasy has been more 'miss' than 'hit' #so i'll find out in three months where this will fall under #anime #armi watches anime

[bats-and-the-birds]

Always loves those fics or headcanons where the Justice League just has no clue about the existence of the Batfamily. And usually it's because Bruce wanted to maintain his image of being all mysterious or because he wants to protect his family or something.

But I think it's infinitely better if he just assumes they know. Like, Dick has been around since he was like 10, and he's into his 30's now, Bruce assumes that he had to come up in conversation at some point.

Besides, as secretive as they are, the news in Gotham has to pick up on and connect the family together, at least vaguely, so surely the rest of the league has taken note of that. Signal fights crime in broad daylight, for christ's sake.

Except, in general, they just don't. Sure, Superman and Wonder Woman maybe know, but Flash? Green Arrow? No.

Then one day they need extra hands on a mission, so a handful of the various bats and birds are called in, cue bafflement. On both sides.

Because Bruce assumes that he doesn't need to explain himself. Everyone else assumes he's being secretive on purpose.

Barry: Why did you never tell us you have an entire family/small vigilante army hiding in Gotham?

Bruce: My children are literally friends with the rest your family.

-cue Wally and Bart speeding past them the moment they see Dick and Tim from across the room-

It would be hilarious if villains loved Nightwing and were terrified of Officer Dick Grayson.

Dick Grayson- who is used to open spaces and adrenaline- being stuck in a boring bleak office, surviving on shots of coffee and red bull with caffeine that would make Tim concerned.

The thugs soon realised that unlike most of the other cops - Dick was from Gotham.

No one fucks with Gothamites.

Villain *shooting at Dick with machine guns*

Dick *appearing from the shadows behind him*: Boo.

Villain: THIS IS A FIVE STOREY BUILDING HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET HERE

Or

Thief *throwing a counting down bomb at Dick*

Dick: *catching and tossing the bomb at a safe distance before turning round and shooting it so it explodes mid air while running after thief*

Thief: .. what the actual fuck

Dick: Gee look at all that time you had! Shame you threw it away :D

Thief:

Dick: I’m from Gotham

Thief *realising they fucked up* : Please don’t steal my bones

OR

Shooter: *sets elaborate booby traps throughout the houses in an active hostage situation*

Dick *using his training as robin and inhuman flexibility to surpass them with ease*: Ah been a while since I got to have a nice stretch thank you.

Shooter:

Dick:

Shooter:

Dick: .. Hi :)

Shooter: Are you Satan?

AND

In interrogation room

Murderer: I think I’ll take your eyes and add them to my collection

Dick *running on spite and caffeine that could give Superman a sugar rush* : Funny.. I was going to say the same thing to you

Murderer: .. what

Dick: I wouldn’t take your eyes though.. they look like the inspiration behind the whole Medusa’s “look at it and you turn to stone” thing-

Murderer: Hey! Take that back before I gut you

Dick *smile stretching wider without blinking* : oh? Or what? I know everything about you. Who says I can’t kill you and walk out with everyone being none the wiser? I know how to kill someone too..you aren’t special.

Murderer:

Murderer: I’m scared for my safety.

Because the thing is, Nightwing is who Dick really is. It’s who he can be free as, be himself as without red tapes and regulations. Where he can give as good as he gets, and he’s kind and empathetic. He gets to help the downtrodden and goes easy on most of them if they give up right away, not to mention the fact that he never causes permanent damage.

But officer Dick Grayson is a different story. He runs on sleepless nights and no self preservation. Seeing an officer with an uncanny skill set they’re scarily good at, not to mention the cheery attitude he always has scares the shit out of criminals. Cuz no way in hell is a smiling Gothamite not a deranged one. He chases crimes like a bloodhound, and isn’t afraid to make good on threats he makes to ensure they never hurt anyone again.

Bonus if the batfam doesn’t know about this.

Red hood: Shit I can’t believe we ended up in Bludhaven

Red Robin *tying up the corrupt politican* : Since this is a sensitive case, we need someone we can trust to make sure it is seen through.

Red hood: .. So we paying a visit to Officer Grayson?

Politician *screeching* : NO NO NO NO! PLEASE NOT HIM!! JUST KILL ME INSTEAD AND TAKE ALL MY MONEY I CANT DEAL WITH HIM!

Red hood: .. is he fucking serious?

Henchmen: Sir he is. And we agree. Please take our bones and kill us but don’t take us to Officer Grayson.

Red Robin: Wait what did he do?

Henchman 1: He asked boss if the hat was sentient.. and said that if it was would it make that hat the top and boss the bottom.

Henchman 2: Last time we met I tried to shoot him but suddenly my gun was blank and he raised his hand and let the ammo drop

Red Hood: Well even I could do that-

Henchman 2: They were my bullets. I had selected the colour personally.

Red robin *growing concerned*

Henchman 3: He sang a lullaby to a child when we were holding the station hostage, and replaced the people with my family members. He even sang their social security numbers!

Henchman 4: He’s the most dangerous of them all. I ain’t shitting ya when I say he’s as scary as the bat from Gotham.

*all nodding in agreement*

Red hood:

Red Robin:

Red hood: Nah that doesn’t sound like Dick

Red Robin: Agreed. Let’s go there Hood.

*villains’ sobbing intensifies*
