Jan 18, 2008 17:53

So, divided into Superman and Clark Kent and Batman and Bruce Wayne, how are the World's Finest managing?

Well, Clark is doing pretty well, although he's a bit timid:

Three things:

1) Why is Clark, like, 60 years old?

2) WTF are those ruffles? Apparently Krypton is off to the disco.

3) Eyeless Batzarro = cool. Eyeless Batman = AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

*blinks*

The poofles almost seem like, I dunno, ya know when you stitch up an outfit and puffs of fabric pop out? That's what it looks like... All over. In extremes. Or maybe it's Kryptonian Mothballs.

Are they...ruffles? Some kind of bone? Foam? What the heck?

bone! foam! lol

But I am upset at the stupid looking outfit on Supes. How did that arc turn out - how did Supes abandon that dopey outfit?

Oh, once he's reintegrated with Clark it magically changed back to his old outfit. Come to think of it, I'm...really not sure how that works, lol! But it works narratively, certainly. :)

S-so pretty.. :3 Wait. ARE SCANS 1, 3, 6 (ohmagahdpretty) AND 7 BRYAN HITCH'S WORK? *flail* Or good lord, the sculpted faces and panel layouts certainly look like his...

And re: scan #3. Oh. Oh Clark. THERE IS SUCH A THING AS TOO MUCH ROUCHING D: Listen to the diplomat imploring you not to change the uniform. If I saw that when I was looking to the JLA for comfort, I would immediately seek it elsewhere after begging the heavens for my own blindness -_- (Even if the attractive neckline makes up for a little..)

You're good! Yes, he's listed as the penciller--one of five or so in one issue--in the credits.

Listen to the diplomat imploring you not to change the uniform.

*grin* It's...uh...it would be fine if not for the...white stuff! Maybe? Though Mina points out that the insignia looks like of like a boob window with the coloring... >_

gosh, the third panel of diana's face on the first page is gorgeous. so... haughty. i love this art!

thank you for sharing, luv! :D

jij January 19 2008, 23:33:03 UTC

I love the way Diana is drawn in this arc. Wait until you see her "I'm gonna kick your ass" pose in the fourth set! Mmmmm...

I love sharing favorite storylines, so my pleasure!

Superman is taking on Project Runway? With all due respect to Tim Gunn, the ruffles DO NOT WORK!

And Bruce is rather scary.

jij January 19 2008, 23:34:42 UTC

Ruffles! I blame John Byrne, he decided Kryptonians wore ruffles--but come on, people, you don't have to copy him so slavishly!

Bruce is scary without Batman, indeed. Poor guy. He manages to be terribly woobie too, in the next set. I have to get those up soon!

Gaaahhh!! Eyeless Batman!!! NOOoooo!!!! O_O *hides*

That is just... too scary for words. O_o

And those ruffles on Supes' outfit! *snicker* Sorry, Kal, those don't exactly inspire confidence, you know?

I did like the way that all of Bruce's anger and violence transferred to the Brucie half of him, showing that the Bat is really just a construct that he uses to channel it. *two thumbs up*

Isn't that awful? Honestly, I yelped and almost dropped the book. I totally hadn't seen it coming.

Oh knooooow. Oh, Kal. *sighs*

Mark Waid really set my ideas of Batman up here--I know it's argued in canon sometimes that Batman is real and Bruce just a construct, but I've never been able to buy that.

Eee, I so love this series. I'll get part 3 up soon, I hope!

'Brucie' is a construct.

'Bruce' is not.

Yeah, Eyeless Batman is a creepy but effective way of showing us how Batman is just fading away without Bruce, just like being so quiet and with no drive to fight or anything.

Seems like all the JLA members who are screwed up before the split are relatively normal to a real splitting of their personalities.
