One Perfect Moment: Batman

[runespoor7.insanejournal.com]

JLA #65 focuses on Plastic Man and Batman; at the beginning of the issue, Plas asks Batman for his help dealing with the son of an ex, a kid who's fallen in with a gang. Specifically, Plas asks Batman to scare the kid straight.

It may come as odd that in an issue that's one of the closest things to "one perfect issue" I've read, I'm choosing one of maybe the smallest moments here. Maybe it raises more questions than it answers, as well.

Earlier in the issue, Batman got proof that the kid is Plas' son, and this takes place in the following discussion, as Plas is convinced that Batman is going to walk out and be furious at him.

That's sweet, you can tell Batman has a slight envy of Plasticman's ability to be so chipper at times, since his own serious attitude tended to drive away those he loved most.
