The Superman Wedding Album

[seriousfic.insanejournal.com]

I saw this on an LJ comm and, since I don't want to draw them into recent troubles, I'll cough and look away whenever someone asks me who scanned them. Anyway, enjoy some nice team-up moments with Clark and Bruce talking about marriage to Lois... IN THE 90s!



Background: Superman has lost his powers. Also, he has a mullet because... long story.

Oh, and Batman is wearing an all-black costume with a yellow symbol because... long story.

Let's just say "nineties" and roll with it.











Anyone else read the name of the club as Eggo? Because Club Eggo sounds like a fun place to have a bachelorette party.



"I'm sure you and Lois will make the World's Finest team." I know it's just supposed to be a cute meta reference, but it also seems a little catty, doesn't it? Don't worry, Bruce, Clark will still have time to fight crime with you. In fact, there'll be about seven comics all about it.



Aww, he invited the entire nineties to cover for Clark. Although I don't know what good the Golden Guardian is going to do. "Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, Martian Manhunter, you hold back the crowd from the alien horde while I use my SHIELD!"



And, just for fun...

ROFL!!!

I was just reading this again the other day actually. I still find the fact that Batman got the apartment for them adorable... and Clark's hair terrible. But then, they got him to cut it in this issue, so all is well!

Man, that last panel is great, especially out of context.

Batman: "We need to talk. It's about the mullet."

Superman: "I have never been more certain of any decision in my life than my decision to grow a mullet! And I've never been happier, either, than ever before in my hitherto mulletless life. So stop ragging on the mullet, Bruce. I fucking LOVE my mullet!"

Mulla mulla mulla mulla mulla mulla mulla mulla mullet!

I have yet to see scans of the actual wedding.

re: Splash page
Connor, you are right to hold back. LOOK AT TIM, HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE HIS GRAPPLING HOOK OUT. Unless he's planning on bouncing off Kyle's butt?

[blake_reitz.insanejournal.com]

I was thinking the nearly same thing, except "Where is Black Canary leaping to? Diana's back?"

[seriousfic.insanejournal.com]

It's what they've been training for.

One can bounce anything off Kyle's butt.

I'd still love to see that two-page spread as a poster! And Clark actually does lose the mullet at the end of issue.

My only disappointment, from what I've heard and I could be wrong, is that DC was planning on having the wedding anyway, but had to move it up quick because the Lois and Clark people wanted to have them get married quickly and the comics be damned! Just one of the many reasons I don't like the show.

(Actually, the whole wedding arc was a lesson in Whatthehellwereyouthinking 101, from the Wedding Destroyer "super villianess" to the guy who married them to that whole "if you consummate your marriage your past lives will catch up to you and you'll die from a curse, even though Clark shouldn't HAVE a past life on Earth, being an alien and all"...idea? concept? Cluster$@#%? I can't think of a word that properly demonstrates just how awful that last one is, and that's not even touching the fact that I don't believe in past lives.)

[greenmask.insanejournal.com]

Pffff. The alien/past life on earth issue is explained in the episode!

Also I am sad, because I caught this comment out the corner of my eye and thought you were confirming that the Wedding Destroyer was a real, comics-villain. :[

(I love that show. And in the culled-from-some-documentary dvd extras, it mentions that DC decided to put the comics wedding at the same time as the (fake; she turned out to be a clone) L&C wedding because the show was doing so well, rather than anyone throwing and weight about.)

[ladymirth.insanejournal.com]

I loved that show....even in the fourth season, with frog-eating clones and mind-raping shrinks and wedding destroyers and alien invasions and ghosts and myxyptlk and the Toymaker and all other forms of sheer crack. Teri and Dean were mesmerising together - totally the hottest on-screen chemstry I've ever seen.

Batman's all-black costume was introduced after Prodigal (when Dick Grayson acted as Batman for a while).

Superman calls Batman (or at least his image) "grim and gritty." I'm trying to think of when Batman is called grim and gritty in a comic book. I can only think of the final issue of Batman: Gotham Adventures. The Joker says "I do terrible, crazy things. Then you act all grim and gritty and stop me."

[bluejaybirdie.insanejournal.com]

Oh, nineties. How I miss you and your bright, colorful costumes. I do NOT miss the hair though. Supermullet...*shudder*

[greenmask.insanejournal.com]

Superman minus cloak is actually a pretty cool-looking costume, for a wrestler or someone.

[unknownscribler.insanejournal.com]

I'm guessing the one talking about arresting folks is MAggie Sawyer, so who'se the other woman with Lois?

[bariman1987.insanejournal.com]

Lana Lang, perhaps?

[psychop_rex.insanejournal.com]

No, she has blonde hair - as does Cat Grant. That's a good question - who IS that?

[bariman1987.insanejournal.com]

No, Lana's a redhead. It's kind of light in these scans, but there it is. (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/scans_daily/111697.html)

[psychop_rex.insanejournal.com]

That's weird - I could have sworn she was a blonde. I have comics that present her as a blonde.

Who is that woman?

[(Anonymous)]

I'll take a guess. I think around this time period Lori Lemaris, the mermaid from Atlantis, was a supporting character, somehow with the ability to change the fish tail to human legs. I think that it's her.

Re: Who is that woman?

[bariman1987.insanejournal.com]

Huh, you might be right, that could be Lori. Though kind of surprising that she's partying with Lois when part of the reason Lois and Clark broke up for a while was that it seemed like Clark and Lori were having an affair. Plus the whole "Clark's almost-fiance in college" thing.

Long honeymoon??

[(Anonymous)]

I guess Bruce is erring on the side of Supes have a LONG honeymoon, hence the ridiculous number of heroes subbing in for him?

Take it away, Wesley!
