Today's moment of feminism brought to you by Big Barda, Scott Free, and Jack Kirby.

[seriousfic]

Don't shoot Big Barda in the head with a ray-gun. It will just make her mad.



It's not a party until Barda is spinning two mooks around in mid-air. While wearing a skirt.

Also, Scott Free is so well-trained that he can dodge bullets at point-blank range, much like Cassandra Cain (I would say it's a sort of Zen meditative thing, where he can focus on escaping to the exclusion of all else and thus pick a lock, crack a safe, and construct a crude parachute in the time it takes for a normal guy to say "OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, I'M GONNA DIE!"). But mostly Barda kicking ass in a skirt.

I read a fic like that once.

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

I think you meant to say "every fic ever is like that".

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Only the Lex/Clark ones!

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

Oh, like Lex/Clark is sooooo different from Tony/Steve! Or Tony/Peter. Or Tony/anyone.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

They'd have different names!

I thought Tony/Steve was more like Bruce/Clark. Though what with Civil War, maybe it's changed.

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

Oh, like Bruce/Clark is sooooo different from Lex/Clark. The only difference is that Mercy Graves can read and play with Steph, while Cass can do neither.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

No, with Lex there's the whole "BUT HE'S A VILLAIN!" thing.

...okay, not how most people write it, but that's because most people who write Lex/Clark are from Smallville and just don't get it.

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

They only say Lex is the villain cuz he'd bald. Bruce's luscious mane of ebony hair transcends right and wrong.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

...are we comparing Luthor to Morrison and Bruce to Alan Moore now?

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

IF THE BEARD FITS!

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Who does this make Clark?

[cissie-king.livejournal.com]

Peter Milligan or Mark Millar. CHOOSE YOUR BRIT!

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

And who's Neil Gaiman?

[cissie-king.livejournal.com]

Green Lantern.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

That fits shockingly well, actually.

[cissie-king.livejournal.com]

But he is more like Goth Lantern, amirite?

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

No, because that would mean he's a Black Lantern, and that would mean he's a zombie.

[cissie-king.livejournal.com]

He should have thought about that before rejecting all color t-shirts except black!

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's a secret identity thing! No one would expect a man who only wears black to be a green lantern!

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

Gail Simone?

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Or maybe Geoff Johns. Fairly like-able but generally not as interesting as Lex or Bruce.

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

Devin Grayson is Huntress. Usually reliable, but prone to some crazy shit on occasion.

[cissie-king.livejournal.com]

I thought Devin Grayson was more like Tarantula... prone to raping Nightwing and then licking the tears from his cheeks.

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

They are numy, numy tears...

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

I think that's Frank Miller, actually.
