currently reading some silver and bronze age issues to prepare for teen titans (1965); which is in itself preparation for new teen titans (1980); which could also be considered preparation for new teen titans (1984). yes i enjoy making lists :)

Personal Reading Lists :

Earth-1 Green Arrow & Speedy in Adventure Comics (1958-59)

When the nnarrator box in an old comic..... invites me to solve the mystery...... i do think about it before flipping the page......i do like to feel included...... in this 70+ yo issue....

#i dont think they still do that?#like it is very reminiscent of dora the adventurer HOWEVER #i find it fun :)

Batman let a filming crew into (part of) the real batcave so they could shoot a segment that would "help lower crime". If you study Criminology in Gotham U there is a non-0% chance that fucking Batman would give a lecture as a guest speaker. Batman and Robin going to invention conventions and talking to the scientists and inventors. I love the ways Batman interacted with the community in older comics

#golden age dc #silver age dc #idk if he still does stuff like that bronze i havent gotten there yet #and those are just the examples off the top of my head #letting a filming crew into the actual batcave will always be a favorite tho him being a guest speaker at uni is a close second #especially because he proceeds to interview the students individually before planning his lecture 😭😭#batman #bruce wayne

I love that Garth canonically goes to school for at least a while. His classmates teaching him the cool modern slang all the kids are using (and all the adults are very confused about). Garth doing his best to incorporate it into his daily vocabulary as often as possible. Garth being so hyped whenever there happens to be a fellow kid at sea because look that's someone else that speaks the secret kid language! Garth translating the expressions into Atlantean so he can use them underwater as well. Arthur has no fucking clue what his kid is saying half the time but he is happy and excited about it and that's all that matters

#i also like to think he never lets go of it even long after everyone else has moved on #idk why im thinking abt garth and language a lot........#also can i just say i love adventure comics 278: aqualad goes to school #half the issue is setting up an unlikely scenario in which it is not in any way morally or ethically reprehensible to cheat on a test #garth dc #dc garth #aquaman #aqualad #i do feel like this contradicts my last post however alas schrodingers headcanons strike again

thinking about how the vast majority of Garth's human interactions are with sailors and wondering how that would influence his (english) vocabulary

#bc atlanteans do have their own language. so he would only really use “human” language (and thus vocab) out of water. and most of the time #when they are out of water they are if not directly interacting with sailors at least in close vicinity to one since yk. open ocean. plus #he mostly interacts with people in active distress. so. i mean it MUST influence the way he speaks man #not only the creative cussing. assuming 1 mile = 1 NM (they are not the same). knot as the only speed measurement he understands. etc #aqualad #dc garth #garth dc #i mean yes arthur lived mostly isolated but he did still live on earth for a while. garth has been underwater since birth

Oftentimes I find myself genuinely baffled by DC writers' choices. Not even in a mean way I'm just honestly confused

Who taught these kids how to speak?

Bring back Selina Kyle's taxidermic cathead mask

#i do like to imagine that it is a very exact replica of a cat head a la taxidermy including fur and stuff #selina kyle #catwoman #golden age dc

Diversity win catwoman fell into the transgender water 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

#yeh sure is the end of catWOMAN i imagine #selina kyle #catwoman #golden age batman #dc comics

Dick so done with Bruce and Selina since day fucking one lmao

Batman purposefully acknowledging and using Robin's age to humiliate the grown-ass men they are fighting is hilarious

#like robin being 13 is already funny #batman leaning into robin being 13 on purpose? hilarious #if a punch to the face wont keep thenmaway from crime in the future maybe utter humiliation will lmao #for context he was like “lets do a 4 vs 1 match if you four grown men can defeat one (1) child we will let u go”. and then they lost

"It's just as I feared -- she's alive" bro did you want catwoman to drown TO DEATH 😭

#ok the “just as i feared” is probably directed more at her doing crime than her breathing but the way it was written amused me immensely #batman 84 #catwoman #selina kyle #batman #bruce wayne #robin #dick grayson

i hate how most kara/supergirl comics so far have the messaging "clark was right and you should have listened to him all along" because what clark is saying is "you are too bad at being human to form any meaningful social connections ever and every single mistake you make is another proof of how unworthy you are"

ok update i dont know if my standards are just that low but clark is doing a bit better!

#talking about late 50s/early 60s here btw #“silly supergirl of course clark was right all along” pisses me off so bad its so patronizing #also forever baffled at the choice to make clark the absolute worst whenever it comes to kara #let us introduce another kryptonian! yay! let us make her clarks cousin! yay! let us make him the biggest pos imagineable the few times #he allows her to interact with him! im sorry what #ok to be fair he was not awful this time im hoping he keeps the trend going

Aquaman about him and Aqualad actively suffocating to death: i goofed :/

detectingcomics

someone tell aquaman about the wonders of a waterbottle, which allows you to transport water despite being on land. he can even call it an aqua-bottle

#arthur like i learnt my lesson im gonna do the exact same thing as last time except harder #sir this is the third time u r leading your son into suffocation. is it not time to look for a better solution than “hope for the best”
