Well, sure, Batman’s isn’t too far off the mark:


And Wonder Woman’s is…well, okay, she is a warrior, so I guess this one can slide:


…but this one doesn’t feel very…Superman-y, you’d have to admit:


And this one makes me laugh, because I’m a bad person:


In comparison, the Green Lantern one felt a bit tame:


…so I decided to do a little copy editing:


And yet, strangely, still in character!

    . . . Ok, now Hal Jordan sounds like Cartman in my head.

    This cannot be unheard. And it’s kind of glorious.

    Why do artists think that making Superman look constipated is the same as making him look tough?

    The Batman one should read: “Don’t fear the night, fear me…after I’ve eaten some of Alfred’s chili…”

    Superman: “Truth, Justice and the American Way…now if I can only pass this kidneystone..”

    Wonder Woman: “Peace…now quit looking at my boobs..”

    Flash: “How fast? Faster than Jimmy John’s..”

    GL: “The mightiest weapon in the glalxy…and all I got is this stupid glowing ring…”

    Thank you, thankyouverymuch….

    Why do TPTB at DC seem to think that the key to boosting sales is to make all of their characters into assholes?

    I have a slightly different take on Green Lantern’s “Power Ring” :

    BEHOLD my power…
    MY ASSHOLE…

    BATMAN: “HIS FIVE O’CLOCK SHADOW IS SHADOW!”

    WONDER WOMAN: “JUSTICE WITHOUT PANTS”

    SUPERMAN: “HIS ONLY WEAKNESS: A LACK OF FIBER!”

    FLASH: “SO FAST HE’LL BURN THE NIPPLES OFF OF EVIL!” (I don’t know, I’m blocking.)

    GREEN LANTERN: “A GIANT HEAD, THREE SCHMOOS, AND THE ULTIMATE WEAPON!”
