The thought of bondage with Diana melts Bruce's face.

[ladymirth.insanejournal.com]

YAAAAAAARGH! That last panel is freaking me out! It's like Bruce is going, "Oh, fuck, my face is fucking melting!"

What the hell is Arthur riding on? Why is a giant drill poking out of that poor animal's nose?

[faile_neume.insanejournal.com]

I assume he's riding a giant narwhal. Everything's better with narwhals!

[superfan1.insanejournal.com]

Especially when you want to make a double innuendo interpretation. ;)

[faile_neume.insanejournal.com]

There double innuendo in there? That was totally inintentional.

[parsimonia.insanejournal.com]

...I feel all wrong explaining this, but I think the innuendo was contained in "riding narwhals". *hides*

[faile_neume.insanejournal.com]

I.. *blinks* you know what, I'm not even going to try to make sense of it.

How I have been on scans_daily for this long and still retain some naive innocence I don't even know.

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

You said the magic word!

Narwhal! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQvVVsq6vYY)

[parsimonia.insanejournal.com]

Hahahaha. Man, I miss WB cartoons of the 90s.

[3goodtimes.insanejournal.com]

This is true. This comic is beyond horrible, but I'm willing to forgive it for the narwhals.

[auggie18.insanejournal.com]

His face is melting apparently because someone has inserted something into his rectum.

[unknownscribler.insanejournal.com]

I'm guessing that something being the narwhal?

Quick hack job in GIMP, but it gets the job done.

hahahaha

[3goodtimes.insanejournal.com]

Is that... a Narwhal? Oh god, it's a fucking Narwhal in a Batman comic. I've officially seen everything there is to see.

That last panel needs a "D'oh!"

On a random note, Narwhals don't hang out in tropical waters. Do your whale research, Kevin Smith!

Perfection.

Re: hahahaha

[unknownscribler.insanejournal.com]

That's really more of a "Surprise Buttsex" icon.

Re: hahahaha

[angelophile.insanejournal.com]

I beg to differ:

Re: hahahaha

[darklorelei.insanejournal.com]

Oh man, I just disturbed the entire coffee shop.

Re: hahahaha

[deepspaceartist.insanejournal.com]

Hey, if Aquaman wants to ride a Narwhal, he'll ride a narwhal. Natural habitats are no obstacle for the king of the seas!

Re: hahahaha

[3goodtimes.insanejournal.com]

I didn't know Aquaman had the ability to prevent an animal from dying in due to improper habitat. Ah well.

Either way, it seems a bit inconvenient to call a narwhal all the way there!

Re: hahahaha

[deepspaceartist.insanejournal.com]

Nature obeys Aquaman's rules, not the other way around. :P

And really, he thought he was heading towards something Batman was running (swimming) away from. That is exactly the situation you need meter long horn/tooth things!

Re: hahahaha

[parsimonia.insanejournal.com]

LOL, I had that thought too. Narwhals live in much more northern climes, usually.

Re: hahahaha

[darklorelei.insanejournal.com]

And way smaller to boot.

But a fucking narwhal! That's hilarious.

Re: hahahaha

[parsimonia.insanejournal.com]

Perhaps Aquaman has access to megafauna that we haven't discovered yet? People thought the giant squid was a myth for a time, after all! GIANT NARWHALS: The Undiscovered Country Marine Mammal.

Re: hahahaha

[darklorelei.insanejournal.com]

Or he's building a secret army of aquatic megafauna!

Re: hahahaha

[parsimonia.insanejournal.com]

Excellent. I, for one, welcome our new aquatic megafauna overlords.

Re: hahahaha

[foxhack.insanejournal.com]

That last panel looks really really bad out of context.

That water near his mouth... yeah...

[aaron_bourque.insanejournal.com]

Oh damn. I've got the perfect WW macro to go with that last panel. It'll have to wait until tomorrow, though. My external HD, with the image, is currently loaned out.

[thosefew.insanejournal.com]

I predict in 5 years you will need your own server for macros.

In 10 a custom AI to trawl the net for topics to add macros to automatically.

[jelly_ace.insanejournal.com]

It is well established that Bats is into bondage, after all. Case in point: tied-up Robin, and why Bats waits up to the last minute to save him.

[valismedsen.insanejournal.com]

No comments on the perfectly drawn bulge (with a zoom panel)?
I don't recognize this community anymore...

[hyperactivator.insanejournal.com]

That is a well drawn bulge.

[parsimonia.insanejournal.com]

I was distracted by the fact that it's very likely Kevin Smith said "make him walking out of the water, like that scene with James Bond in Casino Royale".

Still though. That is a nice bulge.

[damar148.insanejournal.com]

Rather odd most of his scars are on his upper front torso, would assume the armour of the Batsuit being the thickest there.

[star_of_airdrie.insanejournal.com]

nothing like skimping near the vital organs and major blood vessels...

[seriousfic.insanejournal.com]

You know all those people angry about Huntress's costume who said "What if Batman wore a costume that left his body exposed?"

Yeah.

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

O god, this has made me love Aquaman.

[zordboy.insanejournal.com]

I know everyone's focussing on the bulge and the narwhale and Bruce's face melting in that final shot, but seriously?

Aquaman's dialogue -- that's not Aquaman talking. It can't be. Has he ever been light and friendly and playful and jokey ever? Ever? Aquaman is, and as far as I'm aware almost always has been, gruff and regal and stand-off-ish.

This just is... wrong.

[parsimonia.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, he's had a sense of humour, and been a bit playful with Bruce too, in fact. Of course, I am only making that assessment on one issue of Gotham Knights, but still. It has happened!

[spiritoftherain.livejournal.com (from insanejournal.com)]

He made Namor look like the stuffiest monarch in comparison when they fought against each other. His quips were positively Han Solo-like.

[spiritoftherain.livejournal.com (from insanejournal.com)]

Er, in the Marvel vs DC team-up :)

[parsimonia.insanejournal.com]

Hahahaha, I love this.

Bruce is doing his best imitation of Daniel Craig in Casino Royale walking out of the water there. Nice.

And you know, this is part of why I wish we could have Aquaman around these days (in non-Black Lantern form). Just hangin' out, riding narwhals.

[halloweenjack.insanejournal.com]

I said good day, sir!

[ian_karkull.insanejournal.com]

I usually like the "battle scars" as a little realistic touch, (Batman's just a dude after all) but exclusively drawing them on the upper body and only as whip marks makes him look less like a seasoned crime fighter and more like a really freaky BDSM devotee.
Which, come to think of it, is not that far off.

In other news, I love Heckling Hobo Aquaman. There should be a talking action figure.

[starwolf_oakley.insanejournal.com]

Maybe Bruce got these scars *before* he became Batman. After all, he did a lot of traveling around the world to get the training and knowledge to become Batman. Maybe some of those scars are from before he started wearing kevlar/nylons.

[mullon.insanejournal.com]

Tonight the part of Batman will be played by a confused Bruce Campbell.

[ladymirth.insanejournal.com]

I always love your comments. XD

[mysteryfan.insanejournal.com]

Anybody know how many in this series? I really don't like it and hope it's... 3. But I bet it's more.
