Take THAT, Batman

Well, remember too that he's holding his present for Superman, which was a specially-bred rose called "the Krypton," which Mongul crushed. He's about to look like a jerk.

[parsimonia.insanejournal.com]

What is he holding in his hands, though? Flowers? Classic jilted lover.

And I love Robin's "pshh, whatever" posture there in the background.

[retro_nouveau.insanejournal.com]

When is Jason not "pshh, whatever"? He's trying to think clean thoughts. :)

[parsimonia.insanejournal.com]

Well, I had assumed it was Dick, so it being Jason makes a lot more sense. =)

[runespoor7.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, well, you know who's gonna have to deal with the Bat brooding all the way back to Gotham? Jason, that's who. Now there's gonna be hours until they're on patrol and Bruce can get it out of his system.

[parsimonia.insanejournal.com]

LOL, true.

[jlroberson.insanejournal.com]

See above post.

I have to admit even though I'm not a fan of Sup/Diana, that is a f#cking hot kiss they are sharing. No wonder Bats is jealous.

Right

[(Anonymous)]

But who's he jealous of. lol

Re: Right

[yaseen101.insanejournal.com]

Why, Diana of course. Clark's one heck of a tongue-er if you ask me.

[kingrockwell]

Looks more like a hug to me.

[bluefall.insanejournal.com]

Likewise. But then, pictures where you can't really tell the difference are sort of weirdly common (http://i30.tinypic.com/1qgzo7.jpg) with them.

[bariman1987.insanejournal.com]

I bet Diana could use a cape right there, to hide her digging out her star-spangled panties.

[sailorlibra.insanejournal.com]

Pretty sure it's a kiss, because afterwards Superman asks Diana why they don't do that more often. And since they hug a lot, that explanation wouldn't really make sense.

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Is that a bottled city in your pants or are you just glad to see me ?

[fungo_squiggly.insanejournal.com]

People keep saying Batman is holding a flower or flowers, but to me it looks more like he's got a sandwich.

[parsimonia.insanejournal.com]

"Well, that's the last time I ever make someone else a sandwich. Hnn."

[jlroberson.insanejournal.com]

Might as well have been a sandwich after Mongul(the first) trod on it.

[jelly_ace.insanejournal.com]

I think Jason was desperately trying not to stare at Wonder Woman. After all, isn't this where Bats suggested to "think clean thoughts"?

[galateus.insanejournal.com]

Yep. (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/scans_daily/741969.html)

Really, in just those two short scenes, For the Man Who has Everything seems to set up a really messy love-quadrangle.

[batcookies.insanejournal.com]

I really have a strong dislike for "Trinity-shipping".

[bluefall.insanejournal.com]

I hate Big Seven shipping in general, of any kind, particularly when it involves Diana, but I have to say I'm mostly just amused by Bruce/Clark. The fact that it can't ever actually happen in the comics makes it much less perturbing as a widespread phenomenon.

[darkknightjrk.insanejournal.com]

Well, consider where you are--here every coupling is possible--and the more people of the same-sex in it, the better!

[scottyquick.insanejournal.com]

I motto you, not out of dislike for Bruce/Clark but out of love for Bruce/Selina and Lois/Clark.

[kingrockwell]

Well, you know Diana'd really just be getting in the way in a case like that.

[starwolf_oakley.insanejournal.com]

One thing about this story is that Superman does some kind of split-second switch with the Model of the City of Kandor. If it was a joke, I didn't understand it.

[starwolf_oakley.insanejournal.com]

Wikipedia says Superman had already made his own Kandor model and wanted to hide it. Ah.

[jedd_the_jedi.insanejournal.com]

Poor Bats! I've always felt him and Wonder Woman were meant for each other...Selina is just too hard to get. Meanwhile, wonder what Lois would think?

[thebat_man.insanejournal.com]

Catwoman is the woman for Batman-Bruce Wayne. Those two are made for each other. It's as a villainess that Catwoman captures Batman's attention, holds his interest, gets him to pursue her. The excitement and exhilaration of the relationship lies largely in the chase. All others are arm candy for Wayne (Vicki, etc.) and wannabe's (the forced marriage to Talia). The whole Wonder Woman romance in JLA by Joe Kelly and the Justice League cartoons was absurd and more commercial and shock based than logical. The notion that Wonder Woman and Batman should be lovers is very much at odds with who the characters are at heart. Batman and Wonder Woman each imply completely different points of view. They're far too different in their approaches, their upbringing, their beliefs, their plans, and even their personalities. Superman and Wonder Woman are a match, more than Superman and Lois and Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor.
