Superman/Batman: the lunacy continues
Many of you have insisted to me that the content of my previous post was somehow faked - some even intonated that I managed to draw it myself. One look at some
previous
artwork
of mine will likely tell you otherwise. There's more where that came from! No wonder comic book fans are teased mercilessly - Homer's Odyssey this is not.
So, to recap, after the father/son dance-off, Superman, Batman, and their sons are advised that the sons need to switch fathers...
permanently
. The Superfriends gang actually
goes along with this
, conveniently glossing over the fact that this is the same guy who said that dancing with men in silence on a mountain top is A-OK, but we'll leave that for now.
As a result of this, we have Batman and Superman Jr. teaming up to guard a decoy caravan from a man roaming the "Encounter Camp" area. Not just any man, mind you,
but a man whose internal organs have been replaced by faulty machinery
. This, the heroes are told, has several effects...he no longer needs to eat, or to sleep, and of course
now has super-strength
. I guess there's a silver lining if I ever get a defective pacemaker in my old age!!
So Batman and Superman Jr. go over some battle strategy...
It must not have been that great of a plan, because not more than *1 minute* later, Batman is brutally attacked and beaten by a gang of thieves and the masked man with the organs of steel.
Obviously, Superman Jr. must have been tied up with something really important to miss saving Batman!
Ooookay.
Soon thereafter, the gang figures out that this man with the metal body parts is actually one of the members of the camp site. This is an astounding feat, considering they barely had *any* obvious clues...
The climax comes when the man with the faulty machinery replacing his internal organs steals a missile full of nerve gas and unleashes it on an unsuspecting town. Trust me, I had to read that sentence twice too.
However, the Superfriends get there just in time to find out that their enemy is dead...
That's right...he had a change of heart, and then saved the town by
running around in circles gulping nerve gas.
But I guess that sobering situation affects some people differently.
That's right...Superman and Batman are so overcome by the senseless tragedy that they're busy
joking about it
.
Say what you will about
Spider-man being a jerk
, but I don't think he takes it this far!
Now, my only three questions are:
1) WTF?
2) Seriously, WTF?
3) Where can I find either more comics like this, or at the very least the hallucinogens the writer was on at the time??

I'm pretty sure you don't need those drugs. Just remember to take the ones the good doctor gives you every week and you'll be a-okay. Unless, of course, you get the urge to scamper away from your programming post and ride a bronc. But if you do, let me know...I can hook you up and there's more than just me that would pay to see that.

There is nothing more disturbing about that comic than the phrase "The kid in the Superman outfit can really ride"
