It’s time for a, “things I sent to my twin’s inbox but she said I should post myself because I never post my own work and she’d like if I stopped spamming her inbox with ideas but I forgot about it and just kept it in my drafts notes for months and now finally I’m posting the fucking things.”

Or for short:

DP X DC PROMPT #7:

————————————

Danny visits metropolis and people are deadset on believing that Danny is either Clark’s little brother or his nephew from Illinois… despite that Clark can literally not be related to him. Not that the people at the Daily Planet know that, but even the ones who do know are giving him a hard time.

“I’m adopted Jimmy!” Clark threw his hands in the air in frustration. “You are very aware of that.”

“But he looks just like you Clark, you even talk the same!” Jimmy peaked around the corner, catching a glimpse of Danny talking to Lois in the employees lounge.

“He has a upper midwestern accent. I’m from Kansas, Jim. Not all midwesterners know each other!”

“So?”

“Jimmy. You know damn well why we can not be related.” Clark subtly gestured to his cheap “I believe in aliens” mug. Jimmy was Clark’s best friend and most of the time he really appreciated the kid’s keen eye but Jimmy also seemed to be constantly dead-set on figuring how to give Clark a headache.

“But he looks like a mini you! Have you asked him if he has a spare spaceship lying around anywhere?” Jimmy snarked as he glanced over to Danny and Louis who were finally heading back from their break.

“Jimmy, I will put you on the moon and leave you there.”

“Alright sheesh. I get it, I’ll drop it.”

Daily Diana #17

I am going issue by issue through Wonder Woman (1987—) and drawing my favourite outfits on a very vague daily schedule.

And we’re back, baby! My schedule has lightened and I finally have capacity to draw again. Very happy about that. This was issue 17, the beginning of a new arc (kinda). Lots of fun outfits :)

Man who is secretly an alien but also the worst liar on earth

COMMISSIONS OPEN

The 40’s superman radio show honestly has so many jokes that still hold up, this is more or less an exact interaction from one of the episodes

I may or may not have couple mini comics sketched up for this show 👀👀

Text ID under cut;

4 Panel digital art mini comic of 1940’s radio show Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen

Panel 1 - Clark Kent is a blur on the left side as he uses his superspeed to arrive. In front of him on the right is Jimmy Olsen he's taking a photo.

Panel 2 - Clark is now fully in focus and looks very uncomfortable. Jimmy looks up at Clark and says "Hey Mister Kent, I didn't see you come. Say, how'd you get here so quickly, anyways"

Panel 3 - Clark holds up his left hand swatting off the question, he looks uncomfortably off to the side with an obviously strained smile and replies "ha ha ha... Never mind that." In front Jimmy looks at him questioningly.

Panel 4 - Clark points to the right with conviction as he shouts "what's that over there!", His glasses shine blocks out his eyes. Jimmy follows Clark's finger.

July–August 1969. Although it's a reasonable inference, the idea that Bruce Wayne was legally unable to formally adopt Dick Grayson was actually a Silver Age retcon, added by E. Nelson Bridwell in a recap of Robin's origin in BATMAN #213. (Bridwell also makes a point of excising the various of Boss Zucco's men that Robin apparently kills in the first version of the story — which by my count may have been as many as five — but we won't dwell on that.)

The reference to obtaining "the consent of his nearest relatives" brings to mind the very interesting alternate version of Robin's origin that appeared on the ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN radio show in the fall of 1946. (It's recounted in the latter part of the episode for September 25, 1946, kicking off a serial called "The Dead Voice" that ran from September 26 through October 16, 1946.)

In the radio version, Bruce Wayne had been friends with Dick's parents (who in this version were named John and Yvonne), and knew Dick prior to his parents' murders, since Bruce would hang around with the circus acrobats to practice his own acrobatic skills. After the Flying Graysons' fatal fall, John survived long enough to ask Bruce to take care of Dick — Yvonne's family was at that time trapped in occupied France, and as the storyline subsequently reveals, John was estranged from his own family for joining the circus (and I guess for marrying Yvonne, although I don't think that's stated outright).

So, in the radio version, Bruce taking custody of Dick is not a matter of his arbitrarily scooping up a random orphan, but rather Bruce taking charge of the son of his dead friends at their express request, as a kind of godfather. This is so much more logical, and so much more reasonable, than the comics version that I'm mildly surprised that it's never been picked up by the comics or other media, particularly since post-Crisis Batman stories made such a big deal out of Bruce's odyssey to develop the various skills needed to become Batman; his having befriended some circus acrobats during that journey would fit in pretty seamlessly, I think.

Twitch Fanart: Superman

We do daily fanart on Twitch! Today's fan art is Superman as portrayed in the 1940's radio show Adventures of Superman. (it's radio so there's alot of imagination at work here.)

To invoke the golden age vibe, I used the ben-day dot color palette golden age comics used. I hope you like it!

Gail Simone's New 52 Batgirl run was the only comics run I ever truly followed as it was releasing and naturally I quit when Burnside happened lol. I did follow Superman Smashes the Klan as it released in issues before it became a collected graphic novel, and even listened to the Klan of the Fiery Cross old radio show arc in anticipation!

I read a ton of Batman comics sporadically in college and generally that's how I read cape comics nowadays. Pick a character, read a random comic run/graphic novel.

#ramblings #lately I love asking fans for curated lists~ #memories of when a white dude was like “yknow Superman fought the Klan once!” and like yes. yes I know. I listened to the old radio show

“The Adventures of Superman” radio serial began as a syndicated show on New York City's WOR on February 12, 1940. #OnThisDay Bud Collyer fought the never-ending battle for truth and justice and Joan Alexander played Lois Lane. #Superman

I have a personal head cannon where Clark Kent does golf to practice his strength control. So Clark Kent leads a triple life, one as Superman, one as Clark Kent, and one as one of the best professional golf players.

OBSESSED with this. Imagine this poor man trying to not hit a golf ball into orbit.

Reminds me of a Superman Radio Show arc where Supes gets amnesia, travels the country, and then proceeds to become the best professional baseball player the world has ever known under his alias Bud Smith.

#listen to the original radio show story it's based off too #they're both really good #superman beating up bigots is the most cathartic thing in the world

Just saw your tags about Dick & Clark meeting first, where is this from?

the old time radio the adventures of superman show from the 1940s! unfortunately most of the serial was lost - we only have episode 2, 4, and 5, out of a 12 part serial. they are number 432-434 in this archive, if you wanna listen dick shows up in 433/part 4!

in brief, batman goes missing on a dangerous mission he refused to let dick in on, and dick, after trying everything, ends up writing a letter to superman asking for his help, and sends it to the planet. clark finds dick unconscious on a boat and rescues him, and they start working together to find bruce! and then the rest of the episodes are lost so we have to piece together the rest of the plot through secondhand sources :,)

#otr taos #< there's a more detailed listening guide and how-to in that tag on me blog if you're interested :^) #basically radioclark speedran becoming a stepdad #was thinking about it reading wf today...like there are a ton of versions of the first bruce and clark meeting #and many of them are suspicious/antagonistic etc. #but back then. bruce wasn't uhh. quite so BruceTM. and that first impression... superman protecting his lil robin... #from the first bruce trusted clark because he was there for dick. bc he helped dick when bruce was trapped. #and from then on they just. constantly save each others lives. and they go trout fishing together. and bruce is the only person clark tells #his identity. radio superbat is such a good flavor of superbat #it always makes me ;w; #the second episode which IS complete is batman and clark kent going to the amusement park together :) (to find kidnapped jimmy and dick) #also the radio show has a fun adaptation of dick's origin story where his parents are associated with the French Resistance #and that's why they were killed. bc it was contemporary! #old timey radio husbands
