Batman Does Tartaros

[jelly_ace.insanejournal.com]

I was revisiting the Torment arc in Superman/Batman and discovered this little gem of a page in issue no. 41.

While Bats and Bekka go off in a mission to save Supes from Darkseid, Bats seems to have a particularly strong attraction to Bekka and asks her why. Apparently Bekka has the power that draws men who are tormented by love to her while being attracted to them herself. But it can be cured!



Facepalm!Bats in the second to the last panel in the bottom is so funny. Consummation. My God.

Yes, Bats, you're so sexy that even a trip to goddamn Tartaros can get you laid. And yes, it's the best situation that the writers have thought up for you while being in the aforementioned goddamn Tartaros. Oh, writers.

I think this was posted on the first day I joined the old scans_daily. I remember thinking what a peculiarly useless superpower it was.

That last panels reads like he's partly trying to convince himself.

They eventually did, didn't they? I always wondered what would happen if Orion found out. :D

When someone tells you the only person more emotionally constipated than you is Orion...

I made this one awhile back (http://perletwo-ljcozy.livejournal.com/41620.html):

Oh, now he uses discretion.

Okay, raise your hand if you want a series of just Bruce Wayne seducing various women each issue.

It shall be called "Gotham Nightlife"

My favorite part was when they were close to get it on, Orion comes and Bekka quickly jumps into his arms and Bruce is all D:.

And then Bekka died cause of the killing New Gods thing they had going on (which didn't do ANYTHING except kill our beloved Barda and Scott).

But yeah I am glad this version of Bekka is gone.

I remember talking with Dustin Nguyen about this (over DevArt-he's nice to fans and all). I actually really liked this story, it broke my heart that Bruce couldn't allow himself to feel love. That, and Bekka was hawt. Were I Bats, I'd say "consummation? Excellent! Let's go now, baby!"

I love two things about this:

1. How incredibly contrived the storyline is. They *have* to hold each other to keep from being discovered! They *have* to get naked with each other prevent frostbite! And now they *have* to have sex to end their perilous distraction and save Superman. It's a ficcer's wet dream. Literally.

2. Bats still won't do it. He's under this spell, Superman's in danger. Still not sleeping with a female.

Say it with me: Gay. Gay gaydee gay gay gay gaynor. Gay for Superman. Gay.

I read this entire arc while humming "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)".
