Ahahahaha!

It comes down to this: Batman is a DICK, and will fight dirty. Supes, on the other hand, wants to believe the best about his friend, and that Bats wouldn't fight dirty (despite years of evidence to the contrary AND the fact that Batman is currently punching him in the face with a Kryptonite ring). Therefore, Batman kicks Superman's ass.

I, too, have experienced T Rex's feeling of "Our friendship has never been so endangered!" I mean, come on.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

T-Rex ponders THE question of the ages: [link]

Heh, I introduced both Matilda and Emmett to Dinosaur comics last night.

Me: [pointing at screen] What's that?
Matilda: A dinosaur.
Me: That's right. He's a dinosaur called a T.Rex.
Matilda: He's stepping on a house. Dinosaurs do that. The other dinosaur has a little tail. He's looking with his head.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

In the novelization of Knightfall, Dennis O'Neil explained that Batman only needs a couple of hours of sleep per night, because of special meditation techniques he learned during his training in Asia.

Weird synchronicity: I'm reading Knightfall right now! As in, I started it this morning. Though it's the comics, not the novelization.

Plate of shrimp.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Damn. Dean Winchester is Batman.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Of course the real question is: Batman vs. Werner Herzog.

They are both batshit crazy, and Werner knows how to take a bullet.

Werner knows how to take a bullet.

Batman knows how to have his back broken.

The one Batman skill I would prefer not to possess.

You know, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Werner did too. And I'm not sure Batman could have handled working with Klaus Kinski multiple times.

Batman, like Jesus, exists to take on burdens so you don't have to.
