Buffistas

Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

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

I hope some of this make sense.

It does -- and certainly, the GL mythos is explicitly set up that way. You don't have a lone survivor or a freaky guy in unique circumstances -- you have a corps. Flash seems a bit more handwavy -- we have a long history of having successive flashes, and being more or less okay with that, but there isn't a Flash infrastructure supporting the multiples in quite the same way. If that makes any sense. Maybe my nonsense is just responding to your nonsense.

(edit to avoid cereal: I'll go ahead and drop the individual files while I'm still here in the land of happy bandwidth, just in case. Either way, I'm home this evening, so let me know.)

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 makes total sense, MM.

Because the Flash and Green Lantern are the titles, where Batman and Superman (and, to an extent, Green Arrow) are the men.

I mean, there are hints that Batman will outlive Bruce, that what he's created will become more than just him, but that's future.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I thought he alluded to that in Robin #125.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Bil, well now I do...

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

Bruce wasn't Batman after Bane snapped him like a wee little twigman. And it's precisely because of the myth that Jean-Paul took over -- Bruce asked him to, because there needed to be a Batman. Like the BuffyBot at the beginning of S6.

And also, that was the compelling argument that had Bruce accepting a new Robin - that the myth required it.

Bruce is (self? meta?) conscious of Batman's mythic impact and necessity, and the writers have toyed with that. But Bruce Wayne has got the best mythic motivation of any superhero (excepting possibly Spider-Man). It's the most carefully articulated of any superhero's. Whereas the Green Lantern myth can be enhanced narratively by offing Hal, the Batman myth would be diminished by losing Bruce.

Alan Scott would SO kick your ass for forgetting him.

Dude, he didn't even have a GL corp. Besides, the wood weakness was more lame than the yellow. I never thought they did quite enough with Hal Jordan getting the nod as Green Lantern because he was the most willful person on earth, plus being a cocky rocket jockey.

He'd still kick your ass.

Also? His daughter is a total hottie. Even if she did just dump Kyle.

Romantically, this has been a BAD year for the Boys of DC Swimsuit Calendar Models.

So who makes your top 12 DC hottie boy list, Ple? (Also, assign them a month please.)

Legal ones only, or can I include all my boys?

All your boys.

Also with a key for man-hos and woobies.
