Grant Morrison’s JLA (1997) #1: “Them!” (part 1 of 4)

Ever dance with a boner by the pale moonlight? Batman #66

This story is a bit of an anomaly in my unending look at Bizarre Silver Age Comics. No, not because of a total lack of Superman being a dick to his friends… though, that does make it an outlier,…

Running a train on Lois Lane: Superman’s Girl Friend Lois Lane #29

I did it! I found a Bizarre Silver Age Comic where Superman’s not a dick at all—unless you count the ridiculous hoops he makes his friends jump through to save his life just so he can cruise in for a…

Batman and Robin, Mummy Crime-Fighters: Detective Comics #320

I’m back again with another Bizarre Silver Age Comic, and another cover that’s pretty well known to Superdickery fans. This is despite the fact that it doesn’t even involve Superman. In fact, I think this is my first look…

How the Snyder Cut and a child’s question sum up modern fandom

So my daughter and I are both big fans of the anime series Inuyasha. I would tell you what it’s about, but like a lot of shows in the stateside anime boom of the late ’90s/early 2000s, there’s a…

It was perhaps inevitable that the 2020 female-centric superhero movie Birds of Prey: Harley Quinn’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day would become the subject of several rich and pungent threads of Film Discourse. A lot of this discourse…

Black Canary/Oracle: Birds of Prey #1 (1996)

It might be hard for some modern readers to believe, but there was a time when Batgirl was not interesting. At all. In fact, the only pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths Batgirl story I can remember was a story where…
