I remember an episode where he used his real arm to pull the chains apart that held a guy he was rescuing. “Vitamins” he said. 
DC Comics Presents #85, September 1985, right on the cusp of the Crisis. It was afterward, in the Byrne-written Man of Steel series that set the post-Crisis tone for the character that the curved-spaceship-metal mirror was introduced.
Y’know, I just read this for the first time a few weeks ago (I stumbled across a paperback anthology of some of Stockton’s stories). Wow, that guy could really write–kind of reminiscent of MacDonald, only with a sense of humor.
There was some 90s story where Supes was hiding in the backwoods some where because some evil alien or something was going to kill his family. He was shown using a standard mirror for shaving, and complaining that he needed new one, and that normal mirrors only lasted him a couple of days before literally burning out.
So apparently he can shave without the spaceship mirror, but he goes through mirrors faster than I go through razor blades.
Wolverine’s skeleton and natural bone claws are coated in adamantium. The claws look like horns…all round and pointy. So why is it that when they are covered with adamantium they look like flat blades with edges?
Why is it whenever Superman fights someone else with super strength he forgets that he also has super speed?
How ecactly does all the “timey whimy” stuff work in Doctor Who?
How does Batman keep doing the ninja-dissapear trick to Gordon? He’s been doing it for years–surely Gordon would have seen him tip-toe-ing away at least once?
It’s complicated. I’ll explain later.
I’m not sure wants to see him sneaking away - it’ll shatter the illusion. He probably counts to ten under his breath before turning, just to be sure.
In Buckaroo Banzai…why is there a watermelon there?
The Banzai Institute is genetically engineering more robust watermelons that will survive being dropped from airplanes into famine-stricken countries.
There was a brief story in the comics where they showed Lucius Fox complaining to Bruce Wayne about how their insurance premiums are going way up because of all the thefts – including the prototype rocket engine they’d been discreetly working on – and interspersed his tirade with panels showing Batman and Robin effortlessly stealing what they needed from their own company, right down to punching in the correct passwords on electronic keypads. Bruce of course keeps golfing throughout, blandly explaining that he doesn’t mind paying the now-ludicrously high premiums.
For those thinking he’s kidding The Tooth speaks absolute truth. This bugged Lady Chance for years until it was revealed in the DVD extras.
Thus making Batman guilty of insurance fraud as well as embezzlement.
If they can survive being dropped from an airplane, then how are the people on the ground gonna cut them open?
Genetically engineered pull-tab.
Awkward. Do they really all look alike to you?
We’re talking about the guy who breaks into people’s houses whenever he feels like rifling through their files or bugging their phones, right? Was wanted for murder and decided to stay on the run as a fugitive because, hey, he knew he was innocent? Once broke Dick Grayson out of prison because he knew he was innocent? Hacks into the Pentagon whenever he feels it’s a good idea? I’m guessing he doesn’t give a crap.
You know Samuel L Jackson is in that movie, right?
Yeah, but he didn’t play Marcellus Wallace.
Why did Prissy lie in the first place? It’s not like she wasn’t going to be found out when it came time for birthin’ that baby.
Because stupid, foolish people do stupid foolish things?
Oh, I know. I was just pointing it out. Though the assholish thing about breaking himself out of prison was the way he dealt with his [del]friends[/del] friend & pseudo-family.
