Only in comic book movies

[Darknightnomis]

Only in comic book movies you can wear your underwear over your pants.

 

[Mr. Walters]

Only in comic book movies can someone keep leaving their job with no decent excuse and not get fired. Superman has done this for years. I would love for Perry to pull Clark aside and say, "Clark you've been working here since 1939 and you've never actually written a story. Everytime a big story breaks you have to leave to take care of something. I'm sorry, but you're fired Clark."

 

[Chris Wallace]

I was just talking to a co-worker about that the other day.
1st movie-walks out of a meeting with his boss & doesn't even excuse himself.
2nd movie-goes to Niagara Falls on assignment & comes back empty-handed. And since the Kryptonian invasion was nowhere near Niagara, he can't use that as an excuse.
3rd & 4th movies-just disappears for days on end w/no explanation. Doesn't call or anything.
Returns-he's been MIA for FIVE YEARS & gets his job back, no questions asked???

 

[Mr. Walters]

That's why I dig Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. Clark actually earns his keep.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

Who'd that happen to?

He was talking about Batman Begins, when Batman was gassed by The Scarecrow.

only in comic book movies can someone who is both the ultimate imigrant and by no fault of his own the literally ultimate ILLLEGAL ALIEN be so well respected reffering to superman of course

 

[Chris Wallace]

I've mentioned that, too. He's not even human, but nobody has a problem w/him-except criminals, of course.

 

[Dr. Fate]

Only in comic book movies can the hero address the world and tell them that he intends to rid the world of nuclear weapons in order to protect humanity from itself - and the human race allows said hero to do so.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Are you saying it's NOT costumed vigilantes' place to dictate global policy?

 

[Chris Wallace]

Only in comic book movies would a police commissioner's solution to a riot breaking out be to summon a vigilante.

 

[Dr. Fate]

Are you saying it's NOT costumed vigilantes' place to dictate global policy?

No, I'm saying superheroes should stick to what they're good at - beating up bad guys and causing a lot of property damage in the process.

 

[Chris Wallace]

That doesn't leave a whole lot of room for dictating global policy.

I've always wondered about that too. Clark Kent would have no birth certificate and no social secuirity number. How can you get a job with out a social security number?

 

[Chris Wallace]

The Kents' adoption of him was legal-or at least it was MADE legal; he'd have a social security #.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Of course, that's something that would've been retconned into the story once we reached the age where those sort of questions would actually be asked. Back in 1939 nobody thought about that.

 

[Chris Wallace]

WERE there social security numbers in 1939?

 

[Mr. Walters]

Yeah...social security was brand new at the time, part of FDR's New Deal to help get the US out of the depression. I want to say social security went into effect in 1933, but I'm not sure. It might have been later but it was pre World War II.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Well, there you are. The Social Security Act had just been introduced, so it wasn't a prerequisite for hiring back then. Hell, the adoption process was probably a lot easier back then. As they updated his origin, they would've had to retcon a few details to make it more plausible.

 

[Mr. Walters]

Only in comic book movies can four mutant turtles spend their lives living in a sewer and still be able to sneak up on their enemies. Don't you think the Foot would have smelled 'em comin'? Not to mention April. "I really like having you guys in my apartment, but you stink like my ass. I'm gonna have to ask the four of you to leave."

Another only in comic book movies thing that applies to the TMNT is the fact they the turtles and splinter are able to speak. Turtles don't even have voice boxes and rats lack a tongue nesessary to form words.

 

[Chris Wallace]

The second part is called suspension of disbelief.

 

[Mrh7448]

Only in comic book movies can a man fly light years to his homeplanet only to find it in ruins and return within a five year span and do it without breathing, food or water.

 

[Mr. Walters]

/\ And return the same day as Clark Kent without anyone going, "Hey...wait a minute..."

 

[Chris Wallace]

Why did he expect to find anything other than ruins? He DID know what Kryptonite was, right?

 

[Mr. Walters]

He did, yes. Singer on the other hand...

 

[Mrh7448]

Maybe he had some small vestige of hope finding something there, not necessarily survivors, but something of his culture, his people.

I kind of get that reasoning, it would be the same for people returning to there homes after Katrina, they know there stuff is gonna be gone but they still need to see it for themselves, or after a war etc.
