Superman is a dick.

Speak your mind, or lack thereof. There may occasionally be on-topic discussions.

Could someone clarify on the Supes timeline that justifies the difference between this Supes and the current Supes. I keep hearing terms like Golden and Silver Age. As well as a Crisis of the Infinite Earths. Either clarification or links to resources would be grand.

Golden Age Superman lived on Earth 2 with the original Flash and JSA, Silver Age Superman lived on Earth 1 with the revamped Flash and JLA.

Cool, got it. Although I could have pieced it together myself, having to work in conjunction with forum posting complicates things more than if I was fucking around at home.

I think I found the perfect source material for Batman Begins 2. This is from Batman #66, circa 1951.

Just to let you know, by "boner" they meant "bone-head mistake." Still, some excellent quotes come (heh, heh) out of reading it with a dirtier mindset.

-"I'll show them how many boners Joker can make!"

-"What does he mean, Bruce? How can he force you into a boner?"

-"You were so busy forcing me into a boner, you forgot you were committing one yourself!"

-"Let's continue our study of the greatest boners of all time"

Quoth the Reverend Cardboard Box, from another MB with the same topic:
Now, now, just remember that back then "boner", unlike today, was a synonym for "cock-up".

I love how the coloring makes it look like Bat's wearing nothing but his cape and cowl. And a little bat symbol on his chest.

How can we be sure Robin means "Happy" though?

He's wearing hotpants, and you're considering the possibility that he meant "gay" as in "happy". Ho ho.

Well, if that is from the same timeframe, circa 1951, it could mean ANYTHING really.

Okay, okay. Extremely pedophile Batman in hotpants is pretending to be gay to make Robin more comfortable, but Robin sees right through it. Fine.
