It's very interesting reading a Batman who's not rich, and the city is actively fighting him. Gives him a much more everyman Peter Parker kind of feel. It's like reading Nightwing or Red Robin, but it's about BATMAN. Very new territory for this 80-year old character.
People joke about how they realized that people like having crushes on the professor, but they really dropped the ball in Galar...
In between, Nintendo had shown trailers and gameplay footage for XI S, and I was genuinely interested and watched all of it. So there's a good chance I would've gotten into the series regardless of Smash, but that cross-marketing worked so, SO well.
The left is one panel using metaphor to allude to Batman and Reverse-Flash having met in a previous story. The right is a page and a half of inner monologue telling you the origin stories of Flash and Reverse-Flash, and their powers.
The original Superman is still wholesome as fuck and I love it, though. It's funny, Superman's appeal is so simple that people can't grasp it, making it "complex". We're all so jaded that we can't appreciate someone being fucking nice. We're like "yeah, so?"
"Zack, there's been something I've been meaning to mention about your Justice League. Something obvious that's been missing."
"What's that?"
"Well, there was this one character... green, had his own movie... has a history of not getting along with Batman..."
"Joker. Got it."
Can you believe that there are people out there that refuse to accept that this series isn't 100% serious, and reject the notion of putting JOKES (gasp!) in it?
