They also did it in Superman & Batman when they fought Captain Marvel and Hawkman respectively. Apparently Batman's detective skills made him the perfect candidate to fight the invincible, super-strong, flight-enabled Marvel. It... doesn't go too well. Hawkman punches Supes with the claw of horus and a semi-concious Billy Batson just has to whisper 'Shazam' to hit Bats with a bajillion watts of magicky lightning.
Add this cliche to the list: 'We have to fight... we're talking'.
See the new Robin- Lady Shiva climbs in through Timmy's window to hand him a newspaper clipping (the World's Greatest Detectives apparently didn't hear anything about Nyssa Al'Ghul getting explodered) and... they fight. Robin, supposedly a genius, fights the deadliest woman alive, and gets thrown into his bookcase for his trouble. That was just in the past week; there are plenty more examples of people who aren't even enemies beating on each other for no reason.
(Shout out to Brian K. Vaughn for having the Runaways and Spiderman go get sushi instead of fighting... and then fight) |
