April 1958. The cover story of SUPERMAN'S PAL JIMMY OLSEN #28 is much weirder than the cover implies. Jimmy is accidentally transported to the year 5921 (which is basically just another Tuesday in the endless fever dream that is being Silver Age Jimmy Olsen), where he learns that he is reviled as one of history's greatest villains for having killed Superman. He's actually convicted of the crime — murder has no statute of limitations, after all — and then sent back to his own time to face justice. After he returns, Superman explains that it was all a misunderstanding stemming from his faking his own death to capture a gang of crooks, and writes a quick explanatory note that he sends to the year 5921 by placing the note in a capsule and throwing it faster than light.

So, Jimmy's name will be denounced for countless years for a crime he didn't commit (and indeed that did not actually take place), but if he ever goes back to that particular future after the point he left, he'll presumably be off the hook. Okay, then! All this in eight pages, and it's only one of the three stories in this issue — the one after this involves Jimmy being turned into a giant by a bizarre experiment involving dental anesthetic.

superbat fic idea: Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne are dating. Superman and Batman are teammates.

The first time Clark Kent joins the Wayne's for dinner, Bruce's kids realise that Clark Kent is Superman. Surely if they can immediately figure out Superman's civillian identity, World's Greatest Detective probably already did too. It makes sense, Bruce has always talked about Superman this and Superman that so they knew he definitely has a crush on the hero, and it's good that he seems to get his act together and ask Clark out. If anything, the kids are happy for him. And if Bruce knew Clark is Superman, surely he would've already revealed his own alter ego too. The whole "meet the family" was probably also Bruce's way of testing his kids, to see if their extensive training paid off and could see what is right in front of them.

Except. World's Greatest Detective, Batman, The Dark Knight himself, is in the dark about his boyfriend's superhero life. And Clark Kent, investigative journalist with superpowers and supersenses, has no idea he's dating Batman. But far be it from Bruce's kids to ever question the intelligence of Batman or by extension, Superman.

Cue, the Batkids acting overly familiar with Superman much to Superman's confusion; Bruce's children sharing what is supposed to be an inside joke with Clark when Batman or Superman happens to come up in a conversation even though Clark doesn't look like he gets the joke; Batkids greeting Clark Kent like an old pal when he happens to be in a Gotham crime scene; Bruce's children calling for Superman when they need him to do something, which is usually really mundane like "Superman! Superman! I got my baseball stuck on the roof can you please come and take it for me?", but Superman always does come because these are his boyfriend's kids of course he'd do anything for them even if they don't know that Superman is Clark Kent.

Even though they find it weird that Bruce talks as if Clark and Superman are two different people, they just chalk it up to Bruce being Bruce and refusing to mix Batman's business and Bruce Wayne's. And if Bruce refuses to mix their personal life with their professional life, then there's nothing Clark can do but follow Bruce's steps because Bruce is a control freak and Clark seems to be completely smitten with Bruce. Right? It makes perfect sense.

(And Bruce is perplexed. On one hand, his kids seem to adore Clark whenever the man comes over, or even when he doesn't, they would ask about him— Is he coming over this weekend? Can they visit his parents' farm? But on the other, his kids seem to try and set him up with Superman too, if the jokes and innuendos they make were any indication. Should Bruce talk to his kids? Tell them he's serious with Clark? But shouldn't they already know that he is? Is this their way of showing their dislike for Clark? But what is there not to love about Clark? Bruce ended up brooding a lot these days.)

[stealingyourbones]

The first time Booster sees The Kid was in the middle of evacuating civilians. Booster knows that face. He knows that kid. That’s the Ruler of the Infinite Realms.

Booster freaks the fuck out because “holy shit that was the ghost king.”

The Justice league are very confused that Booster is panicking over this random child but decide to leave him be because he’s Booster Gold.

Booster decides to not say anything to the League or anyone at all because of his fear of accidentally making this kid turn evil. He knew that this kid fought an evil version of himself that wiped out worlds so he really doesn’t wanna fuck this up. He knows this kid needs a support system or else he’ll burn out in a few years but doesn’t know what to do.

So Booster goes back to the watchtower and talks to Blue Beetle about it. And he’s panicking because “Kord what should I do?! This kid can just wipe out Superman and I can’t just not tell the rest of the league. This kid has a really tragic life and I can’t not just help him. I don’t want to accidentally do something wrong and mess everything up.”

Blue beetle goes “You don’t have to tell the League. You can talk with the kid. Keep him on the right path. Become the support system for the kid.”

Booster, not realizing that he could be the one to help just goes “oh shit. That’s a good idea actually.”

And so Booster tracks down Danny in his civies and chats with Danny and offers to always be there to help.

Danny is really apprehensive but everyone knows that Booster is from the future and if the man from the future thinks that this is a good idea, yeah he should probably just go along with it. He’s had good experiences with individuals who know a great deal about future events and time and hopefully that track record won’t end here.

Booster just helps Danny with really basic shit like homework and also helping give him blueprints (with the assistance of his AI robot pal Skeets :)) to make better ghost equipment that won’t harm him and is years beyond its time compared to the rest of their current ghost technology.

So yeah. Blue beetle visits the ghost kid Booster keeps talking about and realizes that this teenager is super skilled and gifted in the engineering field. Kord tests him with an issue that has stumped the current engineers at his company and this kid solves it in under thirty minutes. The second Danny figures out the issue, Ted offers Danny an internship at Kord Industries. Danny accepts and he now basically has two Dads that support and accept him with his powers.

Once there’s a big ghost attack that the JLA has to fight and Booster arrives and pulls out this futuristic and extravagant yet cobbled together lookin machine that just captures and contains the ghost. The rest of the League are just like “what the fuck” because they were getting destroyed by this thing and Booster just had the tech that was specifically needed to capture this thing. Kord explains that his kid made it and the league is confused because “what? Kord has a kid?” And then they introduce Danny to the league. Batman instantly demands to meet this kid so he can collaborate and make more tech so situations like this won’t happen again.

They agree and later in the week Danny goes to the watchtower and does a whole “holy fuck you’re Batman” and is enamored by the vigilante. Batman on the other hand is Alert and Concerned, thinkin “why is this kid very much so not human. Too long limbs. Teeth funky. What the fuck.” And just accepts that he’s prolly a meta.

Danny never tries to show his ghost form to anyone. He uses his powers very casually and everyone simply assume that he’s a meta. Danny is super sociable and makes everyone in the league adore him almost instantly. Hired by both Batman and Kord Industries, Danny makes machines and gadgets to help the Justice League and eventually gets promoted to the Leagues head engineer.

#dp x dc #danny phantom #this is simply brain vomit sorry if it reads a tad janky #prompt #writing prompt #who am i kidding this is basically the outline of a fic #Danny is just an engineer. doesn’t actually show that he’s a ghost #sure Batman knows something is up with this kid but doesn’t wanna push it #booster gold and blue beetle are super good bros I love them so much #Danny simply forgetting to put a part into an already semi assembled gadget for the league #so he just turns the gizmo intangible/invisible besides the part he needs to fix #yeah #eldritch horror Danny phantom is best Danny phantom no I will not take criticism #long post

Regarding changes to Superman characters in My Adventures With Superman:

This MIGHT be hyperbole, I haven’t checked, but there are approximately 10,000 versions of these same characters.

The previous versions of the characters whom one might like still exist, and may do so in multiple forms of media.

Even if My Adventures With Superman maintained previous visual design, these aren’t the same characters.

I don’t say that as an insult.

These are new characters inspired by the Superman template.

As is the case with every version of Superman and pals over the past several decades, these are essentially professionally-made fan characters (again, not meant as an insult).

In this instance, they chose a young adult Superman with fellow scrub reporters Jimmy and Lois. They, and all the other characters, share DNA with previous versions, but are ultimately doing their own thing.

These aren’t the same characters, and they’re not trying to be.

Getting more subjective, I think viewing past stories as templates can be great. This is especially true in a world that insists on brand recognition.

We might want something completely new, but executives don’t, and they provide the funding.

If we’re going to be stuck in a dystopian reboot nightmare, we can at least try and enjoy how varied and creative people can get by viewing previous versions of characters and stories as templates to have fun with, and not just things to copy and paste with minimal variation.

Fake It Till You Make It

Arthur Curry x plus size reader

Never pair two borderline insane superheroes together on a mission.

Warnings: black eyes, some injuries, fluff, fake marriage

WC: 716

Minors DNI

Picking up strange undercover missions was your specialty. You couldn’t even count the number of times you had to wear some crazy disguise and sneak into a drug running ring or a mobster dinner party. You have been in outfits ranging from heels taller than your will to live, covered in makeup and wearing jewels worth more than your life, to oil stained coveralls who had last been owned by Superman himself.

But this, this tops the lot. 

“Let me get this straight, you want me to pretend to be married to Aquaman so we can infiltrate a wildlife sanctuary which has been using great white sharks to smuggle drugs and guns over international borders.” Batman’s face remained stoic, as always.

“Yes.”

“And you actually expect this to work.”

“Yes.”

“Fuck, fine I guess. I’ll do it but I expect appropriate compensation.”

“You can’t drive the batmobile.”

“Five minutes.”

“No.”

“I sit in the passenger seat and you drive but I pick the music.”

“…..Fine.”

“Hell yeah! I guess the only thing left to do is to actually meet this fish man.” His eyes narrowed at you from behind his cowl.

“Don’t call him fish man.” You rolled your eyes and huffed.

“Jesus Christ, old man. Lighten up a bit.” His scowl deepened. But before he could reprimand you, there came a mighty yell from down the hall, causing both of you to turn and look at the source. A man, who could only be described as a giant, was barrelling down the corridor, long curly hair flowing behind him wildly as he ran. He was topless, which you greatly appreciated, considering the fact that he was built like a linebacker with tattoos covering every inch of his copper skin.

“Wifey!” And the next thing you knew, his broad shoulder was firmly planted in your soft stomach and you were moving backwards. Your back met the cold floor of the tower and a huge weight settled on top of you. It took you a second to realise what had happened.

“Did you just rugby tackle me?” His head tilted as if to say ‘duh’. He straddled your plump thighs, keeping you pinned to the ground, his hands were planted firmly by your head. Dark curls framed his face as he leaned forward, your noses almost brushing.

“Hi there wifey.” And he smiled brightly. Maybe this mission wouldn’t be too bad.

——————

You were soaked from head to toe, one eye swollen shut from a particularly good punch, your body completely sore from running and a chill that settled on your bones. Arthur wasn’t much better off than you; a few cuts along his arms and stomach, a dark bruise on his jaw.

But you were both smiling widely, still holding hands, your wedding bands glittering in the low light of the batplane.

Batman looked thoroughly exhausted. “What do you mean you’re married for real?”

Arthur shrugged. “We had to make it believable.” You nodded, backing up his point.

“He’s right, we would’ve been caught otherwise.”

“That’s what the forged documents are for!” You glanced at your counterpart, both of you trembled trying to contain your laughter.

“But those are fake, you could tell that from a mile away.”

“So your solution was to get legally married?!” 

“Yep.” “Pretty much.” You spoke at the same time. The older hero collapsed into one of the many seats on the plane, rubbing at his temples.

“I’ll have Alfred draw up the paperwork to get your marriage annulled.”

“No can do pal!” Bruce glanced at Aquaman, already dreading what was about to come out of his mouth next. “We’re married in Atlantean culture too and divorce is not an option.” 

Bruce sat there for a moment, his mouth opening and closing like a fish as his brain attempted to comprehend the sheer stupidity of the two people in front of him. And yet, he could only blame himself. Then, he said something he thought he would never have to say: “I should’ve listened to Superman.”

“Yeah you really should have.” You agreed, giving Arthur’s large hand a squeeze as you glanced up at him. “But hey! Now we’re permanent partners and we work really well together!”

“You blew up the wildlife sanctuary.”

“We got all of the animals out first!”

Ghost Helpline Part 1

Constantine wasn’t upset no no of course not … he was fucking pissed!!!

How on earth was this his life now??? He grabbed as many totems and charms as he could. They were going to need as much luck as they could get their hands on.

-

“Bloody fucking Hell this is by far the worst idea I have ever heard and I want absolutely no part of it!!!”

“John”

“Don’t you John me Z! This is obviously a bad idea!!!”

WonderWoman sighed, “We understand the risks but we are out of options.”

“Pppfff as if we wanted you here in the first place pal”

“Hal!”

“What it’s true if this spell? Summoning? Offering? What ever the hell it’s called didn’t require two magicians we would have just let Zatanna do it!”

“Stop it everyone we cannot be fighting amongst ourselves right now! We have to be ready for anything that happens and whoever decides to help us.” Superman crossed his arms. “Uh question, I get the whole dabbling in magical creatures equal bad but uhhh who or what are we doing exactly?” Wally said offhandedly to Robin(Dick)

“That’s just the thing … we don’t know this Circle is essentially an open invitation to anyone who can help us,” Zatanna sighed “Which means we have to be ready for the worst including whatever it is this creature may want in exchange.” “Oh yeah,” John huffed “Our first born, blood of a virgin, Superman’s soul totally nothing we need to worry about or take to mean We. should. Not. Do. this! !”

Batman ‘cleverly’ choose that moment to walk in, “Alright then start it up.”

Magic is always hard to describe; the colors, and motion like something out a fantasy but this ? This was inexplicable as the candles rose to the ceiling, smoke filled their eyes and the sound of, well -some kind- of animal shook their ears. Then as fast as it came it was gone, as they adjusted to the scene they saw who now occupied the middle of the circle.

Horns

“Bollocks it just had to be a devil.”

Black hair sloppily put into twin buns, held together by … twine???

Superman’s eyebrows creased in slight confusion.

Tan skin painted black in the pattern of an old broken glass on their arms.

Flash stilled next to his nephew.

A scar from a blade ran across one half of their face.

WonderWoman lowered her lasso.

Gold eyes.

Zatanna felt uncomfortable.

There in the circle stood what they would all guess to be a 12 maybe 14 year old???

Batman’s stomach suddenly felt uncomfortable.

“What the ….-“

“Hello Mortals! You have reached the Infinite Realms HelpLine! You may call me Konstelacio! How may I be of assistance?”

Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #136

Cadmus's early conception had a lot of wild unethical acts of whimsical genetic cloning though in the 70s it was portrayed as something wondrous and exciting and not... utterly terrifying.

Clark, being who he is, was actually aware about it all from the very beginning. It was sort of a deep personal project for Clark for reasons that is revealed slowly (it was to stand against Darkseid).

But with his own tissue samples (among a dubious number of others) eventually people like Dubbilex were created.

Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #136

We meet Dubbilex here and he afterwards is sort of the 'face' of Cadmus for over two decades as an Earth-grown 'alien'. He too is the result of genetic manipulation which Clark's own cells may or may not have been used in his creation but whatever Clark or whatever human cells that were part of his growth, are really no more as he is his own species.

This is sort of important to remember for the first inception of Kon as a character - where it didn't really matter who or WHAT was used as his donor cells (it could have been from a dog which would have been hilarious) would be no longer part of him because they were changed.

Geoff then and retconned all of this as everyone knows.

Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #136

Even though these morally dubious practices are generally explored in a positive glow from a science-fiction lightbulb Jimmy does ask a very important question here and it sets the tone later for Cadmus; do you realize what weird and perhaps dangerous channels are being probed here?

For Clark, he is only thinking of the positives that could come from Cadmus's research being used to brace against Darkseid.

In the decades that follow Cadmus has a wide range of issues that are exposed by multiple people, such as Vril Dox II, and eventually lead to our favorite clone Kon.

Calling all escape artists, reporters, free spirits and celestials! It's time for...

[ID: "New Gods November" event title card. The text uses the font from the original New Gods comic, and is white against a black rectangle with white and gray dots. Behind the black rectangle is old four color comic art of flowing lines and dots. /END ID]

New Gods November

Introduction

In the early 1970's, comics legend Jack Kirby came back to DC with his most ambitious project to date. It was a grand story about a new generation of gods and their battle against a terrible evil, spanning across four separate titles: Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen, Mister Miracle, Forever People and New Gods. This tetralogy would quickly become known as The Fourth World, and many of its key players known as the New Gods.

Now, over 50 years later, these stories and characters still resonate deeply with fans of all kinds. So to celebrate the Fourth World saga and all its space opera glory, we bring you New Gods November!

Details

This fan event runs from November 1st - November 28th, 2023. See below for the full schedule.

One of our goals is to make it comfortable to do as many or as few prompts as you please. The event is split into weeks, where each week has a bucket of five prompts to choose from. Participate by picking one per week, or get ambitious and pick several and do them daily! We only ask that when you post, you stick to the current or previous weeks and not jump ahead to a future week.

Another goal is to give people the freedom to create what they want. We've left the prompts fairly open to interpretation, and each week has enough variety to give a wide selection of characters to choose from. Just don't forget to mention somewhere in your post which prompt you picked!

Contributions of all kinds are welcome. From art and fics, to meta analyses and character playlists and beyond, anything is fair game since the format is entirely up to you! Just make sure to use the tag #newgodsnovember so others can find your creations. And if you post on AO3, you can add your work to the New Gods November collection.

And of course Fourth World must be the main focus of your work, but other DC characters are certainly allowed.

Last, I'd like to plug our New Gods discord. If you'd like an invite please message!

Ready for the full prompt list? Click "Keep Reading" to see it all!

Special Thanks

I want to give a very huge shout out to two people who made this event possible...

@ant-ifascottlang not only created our awesome graphics, but was so great to brainstorm and discuss ideas with and really pick their brain about all aspects of this thing. The prompts, the logistics, everything.

@shadethechangingman generously and graciously shared his prompt list, which we used to inspire this event. What we ended up with is different, to be sure, but I'm not kidding when I say that things would not even be half as good without that contribution and all the work that went into it.

And you know what else? I want to thank all the other New Gods fans I've interacted with here on tumblr over the past year. There aren't a lot of us, but what we lack in numbers we definitely make up for in passion. Thank you for being so welcoming, and thank you for making this a fun place to be.

[sporkberries]

Yeah, the whole thing on bio kids and adopted kids and the approach towards legacy is really gross. Especially since it obvious that DC is trying to have their cake and eat it too. All those stories about found family with adopted kids gets thrown out the window the instant a bio kid shows up. Cass can't be Batman because that's reserved for Damian, Chris Kent is removed as Superman's son and becomes evil when he shows up again, etc.

It's especially weird with Damian in my opinion. because i feel like sometimes DC really markets him as the heir and bruces "real" son but also they keep behind the scenes trying to make him evil or just doing the weirdest shit imaginable there. Then there is shit like DCeased that make him Batman that are awful and also ship him with cassie sandsmark. this whole "bio kid problem" started with Damian yeah but with the Damian story it had something to say. When Damian(10 and traumatized) kept trying to prove himself as the real son the point was that he was wrong. and his journey in healing and stuff made him into a healthier person and also made him not want to be batman. I think DC really saw damian and was like oh man we should do a bio legacy character(completely ignoring any of the damian nuance) and made Jon Kent which... yeah. I'm not super into a lot of the superfam fandom but of my mutuals/pals that are I've seen that a lot of them don't like the lasting affect Jon has had on the superfam( and also HATE the erasure of Chris Kent)

This mixed with the now revealed Trinity leads to my main problem which is DC's marketing of these characters. With playing into them inheriting their parents legacies, and centering them as succesors ignoring like... everybody else.

#i think the one i dislike the most here for this is jon #because as mentioned in my last post damian does have a good arc that has something to say about legacy #and yeah dc keeps trying to either make him evil or some bullshit or makes him batman in an awful au #jon himself is fine but i think the precedent he's set is awful and i hate it #spork says stuff #not main tagging this bc i dont wan jon fans chewing my head off #also i hope this makes sense im in a weird headspace rn :<

A Villains Fantasy Part 1

Nightwing AKA Dick Grayson is losing all of his mind on a recent case using a grabbling hook shooting in to the air he is hitting the roof tip and doing a backflip to match with me. He catches me facing me head on as if we are one leaving me to cross my arms in a fit of rage and he shoves me hand to the side attempting to fully pushing me off of the building. I laugh a bit as he starts to go on full attack throwing kicks, punches and the like but I block him not really caring one way or the other and sending him flying in to the wall.

“You look floored! Did I defy your expectations?”

“Yes indeed!”

“Way to go!”

“Showcase your power for me”

“Your arrogant ass is going down”

“You wish! Your sweet cheeks need to be smacked.”

“I’ll spank you into submission “

“Fuck you !”

“I’ll be doing that”

“Who are you?”

“Your God!”

“You can submit “

“You can fight “

“You can fuck off”

“You can do whatever you like”

“You still have no choice “

“I am in control “

“Don’t deny that “

I had once chance to get him under my total mind control of the absolute order as it it a simple action on my part flipping my finger at him as he rages at me and I wait for him to race after me. I block his attack with one hand as I force my palm back making eyes go dim and dull with a threatening mannerI use my sheer will to make him faulted and pin him down. Pressing my fingers down asI dig into his skin because he fell back in to my arms as I cups his chin placing my lips on his as he comes to and admiring me with my utmost love.

“You can call me Master”

“Yes Master”

“Mwahahahahaha “

“You are all about me”

“You love me”

“Swear to me”

“Serve me and obey “

“Commit to me”

“I love you Master Lawrence “

“Mwahahahahaha “

“Set yourself free”

“FREE”

“Master Lawrence “

“I…Nightwing is at your service”

“Perfect! Kneel and kiss me”

“Oh my…”

“Oooohhhhh gggooodddd”

“Yyyuuummm…ffffffuuuuuuccckkk”

Metropolis Maven and Superhero Superman floating in to the air shooting past him with super speed as he landed on to the roof top with utter excitement glee to see Nightwing with this express on his face. He stood on the edge of the city arms wrapping around himself tightly, closing in he hops off of the edge of the roof as he walks towards his pals ward and encircles him his nose is put on alert. Oddly Nightwing had something behind his back but it was contained in a box of lead piquing his curiosity but Dick removes it putting it in his face and unlock it leaving green keep kryptonite. Clark looks shock a backing up to the wall hitting his back as it slid down to the ground in such a state pain as everything unravels before him Clark blacks out fading in to the city scenery. Nightwings eyes glow bright dark green hue as he holds his stomach in pit of pain laughter feels the air like guttural packs of bucket of pain as the last of sanity and heroic actions vanish. He regains control once more standing up he punches his left palm wings back right fist and kicks Clark all the way to the edge and joining them in step and toe stepping on him as he pounds his ass.

“Relax Clark! I shall give you some advice “

“Noooo! Stop”

“Why would ever do that?”

“We are friends, allies not enemies “

“Friends? Excuse me”

“You are weak “

“Useless kryptononian”

“Master will conquer this world “

“Subjugate you “

“Break your mind and reprogram it”

“I will repurpose you “

“Give him a gift “

“What gift?”

“Your ass”

“I will not allow”

“Allow me?”

“Take deep breath Clark”

“One small whiff and you are mine”

“No must fight”

“Resistance in futile”

“HELP!”

“No one is coming “

“Uuuuggghhh! I can’t fight any longer”

“The sweet smell of being owned. I am yours now and forever .”

Those Weird Hal Jordan Comics Between "Reign of the Supermen" and "Emerald Twilight"

I've always been fascinated by that brief, strange period in Green Lantern and Justice League comics between Coast City's destruction and Hal Jordan's heel turn, also known as "The Sling Era" (known by me, I just came up with it). The way Hal was handling the death of his 7 million bestest friends varied wildly from issue to issue, almost as if the writers were trying to tell us that he was already having a psychotic breakdown.

Of course, we all know that Hal only behaved that way because DC had no clue what they were gonna do with the character until they went and did it, but it's still kinda fun to look back at that period and search for hints that couldn't possibly be there. So let's do that:

Justice League International #56-57 (October 1993)

These issues came out on the same month as Green Lantern #46 (the Hal vs. Mongul issue) and clearly take place before Coast City went boom, since Hal isn't wearing the sling on his arm yet. I'm including them here anyway because of this telling exchange between Hal and Power Girl, who'd recently found out she was pregnant. For context, Hal and PG had gotten pretty close while they were both in the JLI... but not as close as Hal would have liked:

Maybe it wasn't Coast City's destruction what drove Hal mad -- it was the thought of Aquaman getting into his "girlfriend's" pants before him. (It turned out PG had been magically impregnated by Atlantean wizards, so at least Hal was in the right ballpark.)

JLI #57 includes this amusing moment after Metamorpho says the League won't be the same without Elongated Man and his wife Sue:

Haha, yeah, a member of the JLI turning evil... can you imagine?

Green Lantern #47 (November 1993)

This Green Arrow team-up is pretty much a filler issue with a couple of references to Coast City's destruction thrown in. No one seems that distraught about the fact that their city just exploded. For the most part, you wouldn't know this was a post-"Reign of the Supermen" issue if Hal wasn't wearing that sling on his arm.

Hal and Oliver Queen get caught up in a dumb plot involving Hal's ex, Carol Ferris, his pal Tom "Pieface" Kalmaku, and robot doubles of Carol's dead dad created by her mom due to her "nervous problems." The most intriguing part is Ollie telling Hal "I'm seeing something in your eyes that I never saw there before." (Spoilers: it's murder.)

Later, Hal gives a speech about finally moving on from Carol and "letting go of the past" (so, the opposite of what he's about to do). He also implies that he's gonna be pursuing another of his love interests, Olivia Reynolds, who's trying to get financing for a GL toy line.

The issue ends with Olivia noticing that one of her Green Lantern action figures "lost his head." That's probably the only intentional foreshadowing for "Emerald Twilight" in these issues, but it could just as easily be a tease for another dumb plot that never happened because they switched writers after this issue.

Superman #83 (November 1993)

As mentioned when I covered this issue at the Superman '86 to '99 blog, Hal is in a pretty dark mood here. When Lex Luthor Jr. shows up uninvited to the superheroes' "funeral" for Coast City, Hal bluntly says "This is a private affair. Get rid of him." Then, when Lex says they could salvage some alien tech from Engine City, Hal insists that they just "let it die."

Aquaman (there's that jerk again) takes issue with Hal's idea of dumping a city-sized engine into the ocean. Superman tries to calm everyone down, but Hal snaps and says: "I'm tired of talking! (...) My friends are buried under this junk heap and I'm not about to let it stand as their tombstone!" Later, after Engine City has been safely disposed of and Superman has erected the monument to the dead, there's an exchange between Hal and Ollie that's more meaningful than anything in Green Lantern #47:

Okay, "Can't win 'em all!" isn't the most sensitive way to talk about genocide, but you have to admit it's in-character.

Justice League International #59-60 (December 1993-January 1994)

Hal skipped JLI #58, and the next two issues are mostly set in an alternate timeline caused by a time-traveler who undid the origins of several superheroes, including Hal himself. Conveniently, this means that these issues don't have to deal with our Hal's mental state. In the alternate timeline, Guy Gardner is the heroic Green Lantern while Hal is his biggest fan. Once they figure out the truth, Guy decides to use the ring to go back in time and fix the timeline but Hal tries to stop him, because he knows Heroic Guy will turn into Guy Guy in the corrected reality.

Pretty ironic that Hal didn't want to restore the timeline because he was afraid of Guy losing his "sanity," and then he was the one who went insane (while Guy entered what's probably his most heroic period). Good Guy ultimately sacrifices himself for the greater good, making Hal think: "If this does turn me into Green Lantern... I can only pray that I'll have half the courage and nobility of Guy Gardner!"

Once Hal's memory is restored, they ask him if he can use the ring to travel to the 70th century and stop the villain from creating this whole mess in the first place, but he says he'd "need the whole Green Lantern Corps to do that!" So Hal thinks that if he had the power of every GL, he could change the course of history? Interesting.

Justice League America #83 (December 1993)

Hal is wearing the sling in this issue, so it's definitely set after Coast City's destruction, but he's perfectly calm and seems more concerned with regular League business than reshaping the universe. Maybe he's just trying to bury himself in work?

Valor #14 (December 1993)

Another Sling Era issue. Valor asks some Justice Leaguers if by any chance they know any cures to lead poisoning, which he's currently dying of. Hal says "I wish to God I could help... but there are limits to what my power ring can do." But... maybe there shouldn't be?!

Bloodbath #1-2 (December 1993)

A sling-wearing Hal shows up in the two-part finale of the regrettable "Bloodlines" crossover, though the sling is missing in some panels (perhaps he was already getting better). The only noteworthy interactions here are: 1) Deathstroke telling Hal "Remember that I'm one of the good guys today," 2) Hal referring to the Guardians of the Universe as "control freaks," and 3) Hal telling Superman not to beat himself up because he wasn't around to stop the alien invasion of Metropolis (he was dead at the time). This last scene is by far the best part of the issue, because of a typo when Superman is supposed to say "Poor Metropolis":

Geez, what are they feeding those cows down there?

Eclipso #15-16 (January-February 1994)

Sling Hal and other superheroes (plus Lex Jr., for some reason) talk in the United Nations about the menace of Eclipso, who at the time was president of a small country and had access to nuclear weapons. Then Eclipso shows up and beats them all in two panels, literally.

Hal's only role in Eclipso #16 is as an unconscious body on the floor of the UN. I think I'd also go crazy from the humiliation.

Justice League International #61 (February 1994)

And finally, Hal's last appearance as a member of the JLI consisted of him saying he wished he could help, but he has "pressing business as a Green Lantern!" That pressing business turned out to be crying on a crater and then... well, we'll see that soon enough.

I agree with whoever that guy is: Hal's "I'll be in touch soon" DOES sound pretty ominous. Note that this issue takes place directly after the end of JLI #60 (Hal must have put on the sling between panels). This means that the last thing Hal Jordan did before the start of "Emerald Twilight" was traveling to the far future to stop a supervillain from reshaping history. Wonder if that gave him any ideas...

NEXT: "Emerald Twilight"! And the guy this blog is supposed to be about finally shows up!

May–June 1974. Bob Haney, your first name in lunacy, wrote many a strange and silly DC story in the '60s and early '70s, like this bizarre little number from WORLD'S FINEST COMICS #223. As Gotham City is menaced by the sinister Boomerang Killer, a serial killer who murders people with boomerangs (as one does), Batman, aided by ghostly hero Deadman, applies his finely honed sense of ethics to discover a shocking secret!

I should mention, just for the record, that this is not how Deadman's powers work. Deadman can possess people's bodies, but that doesn't give him access to their thoughts or memories; he could only open a safe if he already knew the combination. However, dwelling on this kind of thing in a Bob Haney script is a sure way to make yourself feel like you have a mild concussion.

Anyway, after his discovery, Batman begins acting very squirrely, which Superman quickly notices and calls him out for:

This confrontation seems to be the main reason Superman is in this story at all, since serial killers with boomerangs in Gotham would not normally be his kind of thing, and he could probably have solved the mystery much more quickly if he'd had a mind to. Anyway —

This is all very tragic, and more than slightly ableist even for a Batman story: Thomas Jr. is clearly only a little baby at the time of the accident, so while the doctor might conclude that he had brain damage, insisting he would "always remain mentally unstable...a danger to himself and society!" does not seem an evidence-based conclusion; this is Victorian-era melodrama stuff.

Anyway, Batman subsequently discovers that while Thomas Jr. is indeed the Boomerang Killer, he's been manipulated by a man named Moses Donner, who is attempting to avenge himself on the judge who once sent him to prison by getting Thomas to kill a series of randomly selected innocent people "to blackmail the judge into reversing the decision, though he [Donner] was guilty as sin!" Batman thinks this means Thomas is not responsible for the murders, but:

There's then a bunch of business in a scrapyard, during which Superman kills Donner with a wrecking ball while making an inappropriate "swinger" joke. However, Thomas has disappeared:

Uhh. That's quite an assumption, Deadman, old pal, and it turns out to be completely ill-founded. In the follow-up story in WORLD'S FINEST COMICS #227 (also by Haney, because who else?), Batman has spent the ensuing months wandering the country, brutally assaulting random acrobats and aerialists on the assumption that one of them must be Deadman, using Thomas Jr.'s body to resume his former career as a circus aerialist. Now, to be fair, Batman's concern is not wholly unreasonable: He concedes that Thomas can't do any more boomerang murders if Deadman is possessing him, but if Deadman ever stops possessing Thomas, that could be trouble. However, just randomly attacking (and nearly murdering) a series of innocent acrobats does not seem like a sound plan for finding them, and Superman is distracted with the story's ostensible A-plot, which concerns some nefarious smugglers using illegally imported gold to try to collapse the U.S. dollar, including a silly bit of business about a full-size replica of the Statue of Liberty that's only barely explained.

Anyway, after nearly killing some more people, Batman finds Deadman in Thomas Jr.'s body, just as Superman finds the smugglers. Deadman does indeed have to vacate Thomas's body temporarily, but then:

Okay, sure, I guess? Ordinarily, you'd think someone would react to the fact that Deadman just killed the guy who shot Thomas, but in the previous story, Superman killed someone with a wrecking ball, so I guess it all evens out in the end, or something.

To his credit, Batman does eventually admit he overreacted just a tad, wondering how Deadman is taking it — a great comfort to the various random circus performers Batman has assaulted, I'm sure. However, what's really important is that the ableism remains unquestioned:

That was it for Thomas Wayne Jr. for a while, but Grant Morrison obviously read these stories and took them as inspiration for both JLA: EARTH 2 (where Owlman is the Thomas Wayne Jr. of a parallel Earth) and the BATMAN: R.I.P. saga, which even includes some references to Willowwood Sanitarium.

When Danny Phantom makes a portal to another dimension, We Weston, who had been following Danny, goes into the portal. Now, he's stuck in another world filled with Superheroes, and in the most crime-filled city. But most of all, he's lucky he got adopted. He's very lucky to be adopted into the Dowd family with an older brother who understands him so well.

Together, with his brother's caffeine addicted boyfriend, they try to uncover Captain Marvel's secret identity: Danny Fenton's uncle from another universe, or Jack Fenton of the Justice League Universe?

Bernard: So, you think Captain Marvel is Phantom's (who is Danny Fenton) dad? In this universe?

Tim: ....wait ...I can see it. Those two are so close with each other, as if they're related! (They're so familiar with each other during Justice League meetings. This is just another addition to the speculation going around the league)

Wes: Maybe this is why Danny keeps visiting this world. Because his dad in this world actually pays attention to him! I won't be surprised if he brings his sister here, too.

===

Meanwhile...

Billy: DANNY! CHECK OUT HOW MANY MARSHMALLOWS I CAN FIT IN MY MOUTH!

Danny: BILLY. NO! YOU'RE GONNA CHOKE! JAZZ, SEE? YOU NEED TO HELP ME!

Jazz: *sighing lovingly at something a certain crime lord had texted her*

Jazz: Hm? What was that Danny?

=======

Mean meanwhile...

Green Lantern: I've called this meeting to inform you that Red Robin has updated us with some information that may support our "Captain Marvel is Phantom's Dad" theory.

Flash: Are... We just going to ignore that this Wes kid is... Stuck? In this dimension? And not his home dimension?

The League: *focused more on Captain Marvel being a negligent dad in another universe but a better dad in this one*

Someone in the League: It makes sense because Batman allowed him to have more offdays, the same amount as Superman and Flash! No. Not offdays!More like being more of a 'call during emergencies' kinda hero! The Bat even made a bank account for the dude, finally after months of Bats pestering him to have an income for being a hero, because gods know the man needs it to raise a kid! He's a dad, you guys!

Flash: ... *to himself* I should probably call Batman.

==========

Mean mean meanwhile...

Batman: Flash.

Flash: Hey, B-man! I just wanted to--

Batman: Wes Weston is safer with the Dowds than in his own world.... We should work to convince Phantom to stay with us as well. (I want to meet my future daughter-in-law.)

Flash: ...

Flash: Okay.

===================

Mean mean mean meanwhile...

Impulse: Hey, gramps!

Flash: Please don't call me that--

Impulse: If this is about Wes, then, yeah, he's in the future, too gottagobyeeeeee

Flash: ...

===============

Does Batman know about Captain Marvel's true identity? Yes. Does he know about Phantom's? Yes! Did he try to adopt both? Absolutely. He's failed though because Billy actually got into a good foster family (the bank account is actually a trust fund), and Danny and Jazz are content with their lives (Their parents have gotten a bit better with how they view ghosts, but if Danny and Jazz wants to move into their world, he's got the fake identities ready for them. All they gotta do is ask.)

Do the Batkids know? Surprisingly, this is a secret he kept from his family because even his kids are in on the speculating on Captain Marvel and Danny being related. He's keeping it a secret for shits and giggles. He also involved Superman to be his double-agent to update him on how close or farther away everyone is getting.

The interactions you’ve written anon give me life.

I haven’t read anything about Bernard so I don’t know his character but having his family adopt Wes? That was something I’ve never thought of before and is such a fun idea to fuck around with. Just the concept Bernard maybe not even being relatives with Wes but being good pals with him in general is such a good idea.

Billy and Danny just fuel each other’s stupidity and having the two in the same room is always a recipe for disaster. it’s always amusing to see how the disaster will unfold so instead of stopping them the adults now just make bets to see what the fuck those two will do next.

Batman respectfully not telling his family about Billy or Danny to keep their trust but still having the time of his life trying to see which kid will find it out first with Clark running interference? Brilliant.

In the City of the Mad, the Mad are Sane and the Sane are Mad

Drabble in the Shadow Demon AU!

Inspired by an exhange between https://archiveofourown.org/users/DragonBob/pseuds/DragonBob and myself in the coments of "Jim Gordon's pal, the Shadow demon" on my ao3

Superman and Batman watched as the Gotham PD tried to get Riddler into a police van.

Riddler was ranting and screaming, trying to get free from the two cops it took to hold him.

"Don't you see? This city is a stain on the earth! It is a cancer, that must be destroyed before it can spread! It is corrupting the world by existing!"

He managed to get free for a moment and several cops tackled him, before hauling him back to his feet.

"I'm not mad! You all are mad! You will come crying to my feet when I am proved right!!"

Superman sighed, shaking his head "Such a pity, that a brilliant mind is subsumed by madness. I hope the doctors at Arkham are able to give him the help he needs."

Batman rumbled and shook himself with the dry rattling of leathery wings.

Superman nodded absently. "Would you like to get burgers on the way back to the Cave?"

Batman churred, tilting his head in a question.

"I promise, I will take the fall if your caregiver catches us." Superman answered as he knelt in the air to pick Batman up and hold him like a child. "Do you think we should get milkshakes for the hatchlings?" Batman said something, in a chorus of birdsong and clicks.

"They will be sad if they figure out we went and did not bring anything back for them."

WOW Hey another Shovel Knight post!! In one day??? That's crazy. I made this video.. AGES ago. Almost last year? Never did share it publicly tho besides amongst a few pals, so here we are!!! A few notes about my thoughts on the claims under the cut, since not all voices are entirely accurate to how I imagine them.

I'll only be addressing the voices that I haven't rated with full accuracy

Shovel Knight

As much as I love the valiant nature of Superman's voice, I like to think he sounds just a little more energetic than the clips I found. Otherwise it's pretty alright!

Shield Knight

I actually really love this pick for Shield Knight, but the clips I found for actual talking sound a little too harsh for Shield Knight. I'm sure there's more, but clips on youtube for the Tangled show go down left and right. I'd think her voice is maybe a smiiidge higher pitched than Cass? Otherwise the vibes are really good!

Plague Knight

Obviously the bitcrushing isn't part of his voice, I thought that itself might've been obvious enough. The vibes are perfect, but something about it just doesn't sound exactly how I want it to. I know someone who pulls out the voice I imagine him with a lot better, but I don't wanna bug him to record a bunch of dialogue just for a brand new video lmao

Mona

As much as the voice itself sounds exactly like I want it to, it could sound just a little more chaotic and excited. That's about it for complaints there though!

Specter Knight

He's soooo close to exactly how I want him to sound. I feel like he'd sound just a little less cool and collected, maybe just a smidge harsher, and it would be absolutely perfect.

King Knight

I'll be real, this one is.. not what I was looking for, but King George is the absolute closest I could get to the vibes I was searching for. Like yeah, King Knight absolutely would have that flauntiness to his voice, but the pitch is too high in my opinion. Something deeper, and I think it'd be just what I'm looking for! Unfortunately I couldn't find anything that really hit that mark though.

Mole Knight

I really like the vibes of this one! If it had just a little more oomph and enthusiasm, like a real authoritative vibe? All it needs.

Treasure Knight

Too deep, but the grizzled feeling? Oh yeah. That's perfect. Just a little higher pitched and it'd be just what I want. Everything else is just right!

Propeller Knight

I'm gonna be honest, the only thing this one needs is the French accent and it's all it needs

Tinker Knight

Wow look a body swap one! A nerdier feeling would be good, but not extremely awkward sort of nerdy feeling. The voice has grown on me a lot since I first gave it to her, so I'd rate the accuracy a bit higher now, but it's still not perfect for my depiction of Tinker (Little side note not relating to the voice, but legitimately I love having just the four girlies on two entirely separate ends of the personality spectrum. Like we have Prism and Shield being the fighter valiant types, then we have Mona and Tinker just being the inventive gremlins of the four who are too much trouble for their own good. Having two duos that oppose eachother like that in vibes is just so immaculate to me)

Chester

A little too young, but the energy is immaculate!! It's close enough, but just not perfect.

Prism Knight

PLEASE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS SO GOOD If she sounded Just a little kinder (Like she did in the last speaking clip)? Perfect.

Phantom Striker

I couldn't find much dialogue for this one at the time and for that I apologize, but if he sounded a little more grizzled, it'd be just what I want.

Drill Knight

The threatening vibes are IMMACULATE. It's just what I want in terms of that, but the voice is just too deep. A little higher up? Just what I want. Perfect.

Hive Knight

He needs to be slightly more yeehaw More country accent and that's all I want for 'em.

Scrap Knight

Love this little menace She needs to sound older but I ADORE her chaotic energy!!

That's about it though for my commentary and thoughts :) Hope y'all enjoy these! I promised a huge headcanon wall like ages and ages ago, and y'know what maybe it's time I actually get that done to match all these voice claims!
