So, you're saying Bats doesn't like guns?
But he likes salad shooters. Since they work on carrots.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Why is it not part of the main continuity?
There's the whole set-in-an-apocolyptic-future thing.
See, I read comics, and I just assume that what I'm reading is just, well, The Way It Is. I kind of assume that everything is part of continuity.
And then, like I said, it was the first Batman comic I've read, so I had no comparison to realize what it was a departure from.

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

Do not read the X-Comics.
So far, I think there are three or four continuities. I'm more than a little lost, but enjoying much of the wander.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You know, a nice bit of Crisis and they could clear that problem right up....

But then I might lose the two I like (Ultimate and New Mutants). At least, I think they're both non-standard. I'm a little unsure, because Uncanny and New X-Men both refer to a recent event I can't find, and I'd thought New X-Men was a different continuity anyway.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I just had flashbacks to rec.arts.comics in the 1980's, when they would post an Unresolved Uncanny X-Men Plot Thread List, which ran into the hundreds.

God, I loved that thing. Now I'm going to have to hunt one down.

Oh holy hell. That would make my head explode. Trying to keep main continuity straight in my head already makes my brain ache.
Of course, there's also the fact that when you take existing DC continuity into consideration, sex pollen as a plot device is entirely valid.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
You forgot about the "I believe you" moment with the kid. He hoists a huge gun in his hands and points it at the bad guy.
D'oh! Forgot all about that one!
Which invalidates my contention that he didn't use guns against people to do more than disable/disarm. Unless you want to wank that the Mutant wasn't killed, only wounded. Which I'm not sure I can.

Damn, I love my fandom.
