PLEASE HELP

















I'm not very up on my DC characters, but I would think that I could identify members of the Bat family. Turns out, not so much. We've got Robin (YAY. We share a name, so I feel much affection for him) and Commissioner Gordon and then...WHO IS THAT GUY? I Googled my fingers off trying to figure that out but came up with nothing. I think he had like two lines in as many issues. No one even really seems to acknowledge his existence. Maybe Gordon is hallucinating as he is lying on his deathbed and this mysterious Bat-dude is ALL IN HIS MIND.

Edit: He has one line, and his word balloon looks weird. So I don't think he's human.

?

















I swear to you, this does not make any more sense in context. We've got Superman running for his life on the water away from what appears to be the Titanic, and he's looking pretty disgruntled about it.















Nope, still can't get anything coherent out of these panels. Now he's running back towards the ship carrying a car. I cannot think of any situation that would require Superman to run to shore from the middle of the ocean and bring back a car. WHY IS HE CARRYING THAT CAR? I don't understand! There's no reason for him to be carrying a car across the water to the boat.

This, right here, is the reason why I still occasionally reread All-Star Batman. Because the level of WTF is just so exquisite.















I'm like 90% sure that Batman and Black Canary are sexing it up with their clothes still on. Batman clearly still has the top part of his outfit on and Canary has her jacket on. They are both wearing one-piece outfits, so if the top part is still on, the bottom is as well. Plus the next panel shows Black Canary sitting up, post-coitus, and adjusting her jacket. Such is the power of Batman's sex appeal that he can ravish someone through two layers of latex.

Tarzan, Cap, the future, and a dude with a large head

There's cheesecake, and then there's cheesecake...
















And then there's Johnny Weismuller here. Wow. Those are some...defined abs.















Look, I wanted to stay away from cheap shots on Rob Liefeld. According to fans who have met him at Comic Con, he's a really nice guy and he's so in love with comics, and it would feel like kicking a puppy to me.

BUT HE MAKES IT SO EASY. Look at that: all these pictures of Cap were taken from a section of an issue of Deadpool: Merc With a Mouth that he drew. I think there were about three pictures of him in which his teeth were NOT firmly clenched together. He better be careful: if he doesn't stop grinding his teeth he could end up with gum recession and no one wants that.















Meanwhile, over in Agent X, we get to see what Emma Frost will look like in about twenty years.















All these pictures come from comics I have saved on my computer, but I can't even begin to guess who this guy is or which comic he's from. I'm thinking it looks kind of like Deadpool art, but I have no memory of Deadpool fighting a dude with a huge head who appears to be wearing a green toga. I have this saved as "brainchildmaybe" because I thought he looked kind of like Brainchild, but then I looked at an actual picture of Brainchild and the only thing they have in common is the huge head. Anyway, I enjoy this a lot because anytime there is an extremely angry looking man with a huge head shooting lasers that go "BRAZZAP", I am on board. I think the fact that it is out of context and surrounded in mystery just adds to my level of enjoyment.
