Er... I think Alex TABMC (hope that's the correct acronym) wasn't actually being serious there...

And to get back to the important stuff in the thread...how can anyone not understand the hiding-the-ring-under-the-sand thing in DC 1Mil? Has nobody here ever seen Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey? Huh?

And I actually really like the Mageddon story, by the way - the entire population of Earth becoming superheroes, what's not to like about that?

Alex is allowed to keep doing this old, old joke, as long as he announces his presence in each thread with the catchphrase "I'm free!", because old, old jokes are so funny, right?

PDF preview on the DC Comics website of McGuiness' art (no dialog balloons) for Morrison's first JLA: CLASSIFIED issue:

a href="http://dccomics.com/pdfs/dcuniverse/jlaclassified1.pdf" target="_blank"> Looks like Prometheus might be back...

And are the rumors/mumblings true that Prometheus shows up in that silly huge Batman crossover called WarGrames that's going on now?

I refuse to talk about a creator unless their PROPER NAME IS USED!

Didn't Uncle Byrne have a whinge about how people calling Superman 'supes' and Batman 'bats' was disrespectful to their integrity?

Lighten up Flamingo - why do you care?

Looks like Prometheus gets his ass handed to him by Gorrilla Grodd! YEAH!

Actually, that's not Prometheus, it's The Knight, and the girl's The Squire. I believed they first showed up in the 50s or 60s as the British equivalents of Batman and Robin. And they were part of a group called the Batmen of Many Nations or some such, in which every country had a Batman-type figure based on the iconic heroic stereotype of that nation (France had The Musketeer, Argentina had The Gaucho, England had The Knight and Squire and so on). *takes geek hat off*

So these must be post-Crisis versions (The Knight having Batman-ears is a nice touch, I think). I think they were in that group shot in the last part of the Shaggy Man arc, but I'm not certain.

Aye, with the Pumpkin head guy.

And Vixen. She was the only one I recognised.

Cheers for the infos.

wow - impressive. I was wondering why that character looked like Robin at a Renaissance Faire. Cheers indeed.

Good lord... Could we maybe agitate for a ten year moratorium on Gorilla Grodd appearances? Dumbest, most cringe-worthy character ever, seriously...

Dude, I love Gorrilla Grodd!!! Over-the-top gorrilla brilliance!

Why's he dumb, Simplist? Is he not mature enough?

I wish all superheroes made sense for grown ups with pipes and beards.

That preview looked fucking excellent. Mental DC excellent.

Cute line from Mike Carlin, JLA editor:

Grant Morrison!

Hey, it worked before...

I know that's lame and not really news, I'm just so excited for this story I had to post something

The DCU's gotta have gorillas. Insufficient monkey-like-presence was the one thing possibly wrong with Morrison's previous JLA run. Even if there were a few - some green and winged, I believe.

Here's the thread with the info. on the pre-Crisis League of Batmen, which those weird characters probably are.
