I kind of hope so, because then it makes Super-Boy Prime PUNCHING A HOLE IN REALITY seem frigging normal.

That's because he's the Goddamn Batman! God-dammit!

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

So, evidently, you reach a point in DC hierarchy, mostly likely the Batworld, where no one stops you from printing exactly what you want, right?

When did the gun thing happen? Am I that behind the times?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

It's so wrong.

In the last issue it's going to turn out he's locked up in Arkham, right?

I am going to laugh if this turns out to be how the Joker perceives a lecture from batman.

I will build a shrine to the writer if that's what this turns out to be. Because that is BRILLIANT.

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

The dialogue alone:

"I don't give a hydroelectric dam about this flap."

"Such an octopus of a thing!"
