Depends on how you look at it. With the right context, it could be something truly beautiful.

Coming from Ru, I'm gonna assume it's a dick.

 

[Ru1977]

Not.... directly. A dick would certain help, but one could use some sort of implement, or a fist if need be.

 

[Damien]

...You guys are gonna be in so much trouble when I get my wife to tell me what that says tomorrow.

But if we get rid of all the sex scenes in comics we'll miss out on brilliant scenes like this:

Spoiler: NSFW!

Geoff Johns will pay for his many crimes and severing of arms

So I walk into Walmart a couple days ago and the Hasbro island is chock full of Retro carded Quicksilvers! Wasn't expecting that. I wish it would happen with Hydra Cap too!

Kind of ironic, given how grossly horny Timm eventually got for Bruce/Barbara. Talk about an absolutely unacceptable relationship. Fuuuuuuuck, eeew.

Ugh. As much as I love the whole DCAU, Timm's quest to have Bruce and Barbara together is SO gross, and so out of character for both of them. Yuck!

I think we might often find, if we are truly honest with ourselves, that it has more to do with 'The West' having a very Puritanical view of sex that has ingrained itself in society so strongly that it can even impact those of us that are less/not religious.

I think the whole "puritanical" view of sex is definitely a huge factor. When I was in my twenties, I worked in a movie theater in an area that was full of redneck idiots. I'd constantly have people coming by with their kids and asking if a film had any nudity....movies like "Marked For Death". When I'd tell them no, there is no nudity, but the film is full of intense violence not appropriate for their five year-old, every time they'd reply with "oh, that's okay. They see that all the time, I just don't want them seeing any sex stuff". I was baffled then, and I'm baffled now.

I can only hear

I get this is just being funny, but I'm not sure there is an equivalence here. Or maybe I'm just not getting where you're coming from on this. The whole thing with Kitty & Illyana is rooted in comic book plot devices like magic, time travel, demons, etc.

R. Kelley, on the other hand, is an actual demon.

Are they cheap? I'm pretty sure I picked up extras from the website for like $10-15 earlier this year.

 

[mrboshek]

@NORM he's been a little under $20, like $19.88 or something with a big yellow sticker. He just randomly showed up at an area Walmart. They had two pegs worth in the regular figure aisle. This store never had the island...unless it was very well hidden.

my theory on this is he probably grew up with Adam West and Yvonne Craig, so like. yeah if that's a big moment in your growing up, i get it

HOWEVER

He's the one that chose to write Babs as same age as Dick and the daughter Batman's so called best friend.

 

[yojoebro82]

I hate the idea of Bruce and Babs with a passion. It's completely against Batman's character.

Did the two have a fling in the 66 TV show? I never got that deep.

No they are full price. $24.99.

 

[Jolene00Negative]

I mean, I'm sure Adam claims they did. But also back in that era Babs was like, way older in the comics than she is now.

Like she was a congresswoman at one point and used to view Robin as 'so young, almost a kid'

 

[Enforcer]

So ah... who's getting today's Iron Man pre-order?
