You know that world made of cardboard speech that made Superman sound so cool?

It was an evolution of one that Wonder Woman said a few years earlier.

She did it first while going toe to toe with Doomsday in 1998. Thor gave a similar speech mere months after Diana did on the above page, but he wasn't fighting anybody when he said it, he just informed his team that he was going to be stronger from now on.

Diana's speech is from Doomsday wars #1 in 1998 and Thor's is in Avengers in 1999. DC was just spending more on gloss printing at the time so the older one looks more modern. So. Wonder Woman did the idea first. in 1998 Thor knew a good idea when presented with one and imitated.in 1999 And on the cartoon, with over 7 years to let it marinate, Superman polished and perfected the execution. in 2006

Art does this a lot, it's fun to trace back.

DC Prompt

All members of the JL and JLD sat at the table together trying to figure out what they could do. All voices but one talking, some yelling to be heard over the cacophony of noise.

Darksied had invaded and now numerous members were in the ICU or injured and it had only been the scouts they had encountered. Batman sighed deeply stopping Superman in his tracks which caused a ripple effect. Once it was completely silent he spoke.

"I may have a solution to our problems." He started only to get cut off by Green Lantern whose arm was in a sling and face covered in cuts.

"Why didn't you say something earlier?!?" The snarl leaving him most making him sound animistic as he jabbed a finger towards the Dark Knight.

"It requires Agent A to... Do something undesirable. Needless to say I WILL be calling him." The entire room stared at him with mixed feelings of anger, exasperation, and hope. Hope that this will all work out in the end.

After the phone call the wait seemed to last forever and all but Batman were getting anxious. Would this fail? Would who/what they are waiting for even arrive? Just as Wonder Woman was about to say something the zeta tube alerted them to someone's arrival. And as they saw who it was they stared incredulous.

It was just a normal guy.

Sure he was a little on the older side, but really that wasn't the issue, it was over how perfectly normal he was. His dark hair had a healthy dose of gray mixed into it that was perfectly gelled to the side. He wore a nice pair of black pants and white button up shirt and tie. Overtop a bright red cardigan sweater accentuated his outfit. With a smile he waved at them all, his voice warming them up from the inside as he said,

"Hello Neighbors."

I couldn’t see those and not think “oh, like that one Thanos comic.” And now I’m just thinking of Darksied being a bastard every year on Billys b-day
