Mark Kardwell said...: Yeah, noticed we now have to go through an "objectionable content" disclaimer. Fucking fuckwits and their fucking fuckwittery.; 29 December 2010 20:20
joe bloke said...: Steve, mate: I'm not planning on going anywhere just yet. I think the whole not being available thing was a temporary thing until I'd tried to get in and got told off for being objectionable.

Mark: fuck yer!!!! fuckers. . .; 29 December 2010 21:58
Daniel [oeconomist.com] said...: Ha! I didn't reälize that the ostensible deletion of your 'blog was little more than a ploy to make to attend to a chastisement!

Anyway, I note with interest that you are especially fond of the Batman and of Captain America, who in their respective universes are the purest embodiments of the Good (and hence, in a pinch, can ultimately defeat anything and everything, including all other super-beings combined), yet you offer us a fair number of stories in which goodness and decency is just conspicuously absent all-around.; 30 December 2010 18:24
Daniel [oeconomist.com] said...: (BTW, Captain America could beat all of the super-heroes and villains in the DC universe combined, except the Batman, who can just defeat everybody, including Captain America.); 30 December 2010 18:26
joe bloke said...: good point there, Daniel. maybe my love for the Batman and Captain America is a reflection of what I want the world to be, and the stories you end up getting on the blog are a reflection of how I actually see the world. I'd never really considered it. . .until now, damn you!

as for who'd beat who, did you ever read the Avengers/Justice League series? there's a terrific scene in that where the Batman and Captain America square off against each other, and neither can even so much as land a blow without the other perfectly anticipating and countering the move. in the end, the two end up joining forces when they realise that there's just no way either can win, or lose.

of course, you know, and I know, and any right-minded comic fan knows, if there really WAS a proper smackdown between the Batman and Captain America, Bruce would batter the living beejayzus out of that Star-Spangled Panty-waist any day. . .

still, it was a pretty cool scene.; 30 December 2010 19:16
Daniel [oeconomist.com] said...: I didn't see that story, but I saw 1997's Batman/Captain America, in which the two characters met during WWII. Steve Rogers was assigned to investigate Bruce Wayne, and had broken into one of Wayne's offices. Wayne discovered him and a fight began, but the Batman recognized Captain America's fighting style, and brought the fight to an end.

The story wasn't great, but had two nice twists. First, the Joker and the Red Skull were each immune to the poison used by the other, by virtue of having immunized themselves against their own poisons, which were so similar. Second, about twenty years after the principal events, the Batman's successor (Dick Gordon) fished a newly thawed Captain America out of the ocean.; 3 January 2011 04:29
