Batman #37 - "SuperFriends, Part 2"

[laughing_tree]

You know here’s the thing. Dan Didio calls me up to talk the future of the character and we’re talking about it and I'm like “aren’t you the guy who had Green Arrow stab Dinah on their wedding night? I don’t know if you’re the one I should be talking to on this.” -- Tom King

I may not always like what Tom King writes, and I may not ever see what many readers see in his work, but I loved this two-parter and he'll always be all right by me just for dealing with Didio in that fashion.

So wait, who did Selina dress up as?

[thezmage]

She just intimidated the guy into letting her through

[shadowpsykie]

So... she acted like Lois Lane? :)

[lieut_kettch]

"Or Bruce... I suppose I could pitch to you."

On s_d it's never just you, right?

[bradygirl_12]

The boys like to play pitch and catch! ;)

Ooh, Lois and Selina are giving me fic ideas! :)

[balbanes]

Lois and Catwoman are the pairing I never knew I always wanted.

[remial]

can we have a Lois and Selina book where they just snark about whatever is going on in the DC universe?

PLEASE!

[shadowpsykie]

While at brunch. And then they save the world.

Shut Up And Take My Money

[shadur]

Seconded. Thirded. Whatevered just write this book please

[jencaasi]

That was fun! I haven't been reading much DC in the last few years, but I did enjoy the beginning of Tom King's Batman. I'll have to catch up on it some time.

TFW when your wife and your best friends wife find out they're both bisexual the minute they meet eachother.

[bradygirl_12]

When your wife/fiancee talks about the stars and you obsess over pitch-and-catch. :)

[ozaline]

Well it was already established with Selina.

This is only the second most-fanficcy comic I read last month because I also started reading Go Go Power Rangers (which is pretty great).

[nyadnar17]

Look, Batman + Superman just palling around is like the lowest hanging fruit ever.......but I can't believe how much I love this. Its once of those rare things that captures that childhood joy for me, while at the same time feeding my adult "experienced" self some meat.

I need this whole run.

[coldfury]

I think what makes this work is how rarely they've done it (at least as far as I've caught) over the past few years. It gives the stories a bit of room to breath, and it's a refreshing change of pace after the past couple of years of Super-continuity reboots.

[superfangirl1]

Everything here is so awesomely wonderful!

[nightauditguy]

Has Lois always been that busty?

[jlbarnett]

very frequently

[filthysize]

I cannot get enough of that Question mugger.

[janegray]

He is so committed! :D

[bruinsfan]

I'd wondered how the hell he got the drop on them with Selina right there until she revealed she pickpocketed him while he was snatching Lois' purse.

[donnblake]

Batman and Superman trading costumes, playing baseball, hanging out at a fun fair?

Very World's Finest. Too bad Dick couldn't make it.

[lego_joker]

A-yup. It would've been awesome to see King and Mann recreate that World's Finest cover where Bruce and Clark rent a three-seater bicycle and then make him do all the pedaling.

[icon_uk]

The last time they did something like this, it was Clark and Lois showing up at a costume party in Batman and Robin outfits.

[nyadnar17]

Wait....wait. I just got that Superman doesn't go easy on his son in baseball. That is hilariously great.

[thanekos]

" [It] isn't who is going to let me! It is who is going to stop me! " sounds like a sentiment from something Ditko.

[starwolf_oakley]

Close. It's a line from Ayn Rand and The Fountainhead.

Who is Not!Plastic Man supposed to be making out with?

I'm guessing "Kick a tree" is a BATMAN: YEAR ONE reference.

[kd_the_movie]

judging by the collar and purple costume, looks to be Jayna the other half of the Wonder Twins.

[beyondthefringe]

I will say... it's hard to argue with Lois Lane cheesecake in the scan above, when you also get Bruce and Clark beefcake to balance it out.

And I love how committed Clark is to his civilian identity that he wears his Clark glasses over his Batsuit.

[balbanes]

I like how Bruce is covered in bruises, and Clark is not. Nice detail.

[jeremyp]

Thanks for posting this - it's adorable!

I would read this kind of story every month. Comics are so dark, there would have to be some light moments, or the characters would fall apart. It's nice to see the positive moments that keep them mentally balanced.
