It's no secret that I adore the Batman:  Brave and the Bold cartoon, but it suffers from a sad lack of Superman in it.  That made sense early on, when the focus was on teaming up Batman with less-known

Is it just me, or does the GIANT KEYHOLE and the "We *compliment* each other" remind you of that infamous Worlds Finest issue with the tentacle creatures?

Maybe it's just me, but when I saw that keyhole juxtaposed with those phrases, all I could do was to continue the phrase in my head: "We fit...like hand and glove." *giggles like a twelve-year-old*

ROFL

Not to mention Superman scoping Bruce up into his blazing passage cape. To keep him warm, of course. XD

You know, it really does seem at points to be referencing that comic! I approve. ^_^ Also, I do not mind they cut out the freaky worm things sexing each other up. *grin*

...the guy's name is seriously Etrog?

[mithen]

It...looks so? What, he doesn't remind you of a kosher citrus fruit? ^_^

[seiberwing]

He does seem a bit fruity.

I surreptitiously went into a comic store (because I'm broke) and read that issue of Red Robin. My first thought was brain short circuiting with fangirlish delight. The next was "Oh man, mithen's gonna love that." And then I went back to squeeing.

I have wanted to watch Brave and the Bold, but we have no TV and I have no DVD budget. But OMG this looks so awesome. And SHIRTLESS! I was entranced by the panel where Superman's putting his shirt back on and all you see is his stomach. Guh.

Hooray for manly bonding! I'd never let Clark live down 'invisible criminals' either. And I wish I had any image editing skills, because I WANT an LJ icon of that facepalm.

Red Robin was so wonderful! It made me so many different kinds of happy...

BBATB is a great show! It's all-ages but there are a lot of funny little canon nods, plus there are some honestly wrenching moments in there as well, and a surprising amount of character death. They have a retelling of the Wayne murders that really got to me...it's incredibly minimalistic and effective.

My photoshop skills are nil, but I'm hoping I can tempt someone into making that face palm into an icon, lol! An exasperated Suoerman is a great sight...

OMFG *fangirlish flail*
The hug between Bruce and Tim is just vkjsdhfsj *flails again* so freaking awesome and snuggly and guh! Tim needs lots of hugs and I'd like to point out that Bruce doesn't get anywhere near the recommended yearly quota of hugs :D
The full page hug is nearly more squee worthy than the one between Tim and Kon a while back (sorry not sure exactly when since I only saw scans) and it might be a good thing that one is not a full page one because I might have imploded messily had it been :D
On the other hand the Brave and the Bold scans were also awesome! LOL and aww at Supes wrapping Batman in his cape for the flight north :D

It's true, Tim Drake and the Red Robin title have the two greatest hugs of 2011! Go Tim!

Hee, I love the nod to the old World's Finest title in the cape wrapping! Clark needs to do that more often...though can you imagine canon Bruce letting him? It would be hilarious... :)

LMAO I just pictured Bruce's face at Clark's attempt to wrap him up in his cape :D Depending on the mood there might be kryptonite involved together with the Batface :D

*giggles* The thing that totally made me go awww about the hug between Tim and Bruce is how *tiny* Tim looks next to him :D He looked kind of short when compared to Kon when they hugged but Bruce's size makes him look about 12 :D He's so adorable :D

LMAO I just pictured Bruce's face at Clark's attempt to wrap him up in his cape :D Depending on the mood there might be kryptonite involved together with the Batface :D

I'm imagining Clark standing there with the cape held up, with the realization slowly dawning on him that this might have been a bad idea... :D

And yesss, tiny tiny Tim! :D So cute...

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

Batman: Brave and the Bold was SO. MUCH. FUN!! :D I loved Clark and Bruce's banter - the invisible criminals, hee!! And shirtless Clark, yes! *hearts them*

And Red Robin!!!! RED ROBIN THE HUG THE HUG THE HUUUUUUUUGGG!!! *squees* I loved those pages so SO much. Bruce and Timmy being all adorable together! And going off to have some fun!!!!!! :D :D :D And Cass too!!!! That issue has got to be one of my most favorite ever. :D

I think Fisch got the bantery feeling just right! I love when they can tease each other a bit and it's all just part of the friendship...

I might have liked the line about having fun maybe even more than the hug! Bruce! Having fun! It's wonderful! :)
