They’re a team of young heroes all from different planets with their own powers in the 30th/31st century, with a very complex and frequently rebooted continuity. Originally introduced as time traveling support characters to Clark Kent in his youth as Superboy. #ngl

In that case, the most frequently visited period in DC time travel stories would be the mid-30th to early-31st century, when the Legion of Super-Heroes takes place. #ngl

I could split hairs and say those examples aren’t necessarily confirmations that the source texts are canonical to each other, but I get you. I like the stealth authorial sequels, like Fallen Angel to Peter David’s Supergirl, or Jack Kirby’s Captain Victory to his New Gods saga. #ngl

Factoring in the number of time travel stories which bring heroes from the past and future to the “modern day,” I’d say the period between the 1950s and the 2020s. #ngl

It’s never overtly addressed this way, but consider that Gordon is the main point of contact between the city’s police and Batman, a figure everyone is interested in. His proximity to Batman is what makes him a well-known figure. Other commissioners do not usually have such a relationship. #ngl

First of all, say the man’s name: Sheldon Mayer. Mayer was a hugely influential figure in DC’s early years, creating and overseeing many of their humor features. DC has always historically featured a wide variety of genre material. The troublemaking infant duo Sugar & Spike were just one example.

Big upgrade for our digital archive system: we've replaced our image viewer! Huge improvements across the board for how images are displayed (which we hope will be very welcome for users of the GamePro CD collection)

I have heard people saying this since Age of Ultron (when I mostly bowed out of the MCU) but every year it is more and more true

You may have wondered how Swan Boy maintains the delicate balance of friendship with two people who should otherwise despise each other. This is how it's done

another one. another one. another one

King of the Hill has still got it baby

They already did this with Mortal Kombat, but that felt too dark to me. The DC x Sonic comics are really fun, so I wouldn’t hate a larger Sega collab. #ngl

The 80s would have been a great time for a Cheers-inspired Giffen/DeMatteis Justice League sitcom mainly set on the Watchtower. In my mind it would have felt a lot like the first live action Tick series. #ngl

The first year or two of Batman’s career, before he gets a Robin #ngl

I think because “chase sequence” isn’t much of a personality. Her episodes didn’t really give us much to work with. You’d have to establish her as a character worth revisiting. #ngl

I wouldn’t say unused- many of them still show up from time to time- but I also wouldn’t say “much.” They’ll show up when the occasion calls for it, but haven’t enjoyed a lot of notable spotlight. #ngl

Once again, I present: The Chart

I’m afraid I gotta hit you with the chart here. #ngl

Gotta go with I Can’t Believe It’s Not The Justice League. #ngl

Is a helmet a hat? I want to say it is. Anti-Monitor. #ngl

Penny Plunderer, daughter of the original Penny Plunderer introduced a few issues ago in Harley Quinn. I want her to be the new Kite-Man or Condiment King. #ngl

I think you have to go with the George Pérez take on Vanessa. But you’d have to be careful about it, and always ground her in sympathy. That’s an easy character to steer the wrong way. #ngl

For worst: I cannot take Bane seriously with his nose out like that. For best: Lois Lane is so perfect in Superman: The Animated Series that I really can’t blame Superman 2025 for stealing her look.

This version of Doctor Poison is so different from any other version of the character that we have no data outside of this episode itself to go on. Tara and Brion might not even exist in this universe, or they might have entirely different origins. I would not presume to speculate. #ngl

There are multiple time and reality-displaced versions of Parallax Hal Jordan out there in space from various hanging storylines that we will probably never follow up on because it would just be too convoluted to address #ngl

Hey, I’m happy you got to meet up with Saul again. Hope you find that last Road Poneglyph soon #ngl

Alas, Starbro shares the same fate as the vast majority of original characters after the cancelation of their debut series. He’s out in Limbo for the time being. #ngl

Absolute Wonder Woman. Don’t look into her original stories; they’re very racist #ngl

The only time he has ever talked about it is in @gregrucka.com’s LOIS LANE series, where it’s made clear not even he knows what happened. But the series later intimates that there are certain figures who just slip back to life, change fundamentally, or completely disappear after every Crisis. #ngl

I don’t think Matt Fraction has ever explained it, but Lady Ojo was originally solicited as Lady Death Man, and then it was changed in print. What you’re seeing in the collection is probably sourcing an old edition by accident. The most likely thing happening here is that an editor nixed it. #ngl

Could Excel be conscious? We surveyed more than Jan 1 1900 people to find out.

In Scott Snyder’s Justice League run, Jarro is a Starro spore that Batman raised in a jar following Starro’s death in the “No Justice” miniseries preceding his run. Like a lot of Snyder’s trademarks in that period, it’s intentionally underexplained to allow you to fill in the gaps. #ngl

Pre-Crisis, and under certain Post-Crisis writers who don’t take their sole influence on the character from JLI, that would be Guy Gardner #ngl

As with every book at the time, Flashpoint happened. Every creative team across the line was given two months’ notice of a complete line-wide reboot. Depending on where they were in their stories, some took that time to wrap it up, others left it to fill-in teams to walk the book to its demise. #ngl

Girl, were you in The Oddysey? Because you’re the only odd I see

Kelley Jones is pretty famous for this. #ngl

My main issue with the Ace Attorney games is that despite the title, all of the lawyers are gay

I don’t think Strip Law counts as an old cartoon series yet, so I’m going to say UPN’s DILBERT, but by @hellocullen.bsky.social’s Strip Law team

“Sluggo, would you still love me if I was a worm?” “BUT DAT’S WHAT DEY PAY ME IN!” This is a bad post. Ignore this one

I love the concept of this show so much that even I, someone mostly indifferent about Magic, intend to watch it

Come get what Alex Jaffe is calling “the coolest vampire comic I’ve ever read”

for the jamiroqrime of illegal heat canning, my client pleads virtual insanity

This has long been a mystery to me. There was just this push around Doomsday Clock for revisiting all this Alan Moore material all at once. It was too ubiquitous to be a coincidence.

There are two cops who play the One Piece card game against each other every afternoon at my local Popeyes and I just want to ask them if they understand the Marines are the bad guys
