Welcome! This is Jailbait in Hotpants! The title is a phrase I used to describe Nightwing's former career as Robin. I am a relatively new comics reader, and as I go along sometimes I read things too hilarious or awesome to not share. So I share them with you, and hope you enjoy!

Let the Kryptonian Win

In this gem from Justice League Unlimited 19, Booster Gold was whining about how Superman always wins at poker. Superman then proceeds to be full of awesome and general ass-kickery in a fight with the big bad guys following which Booster Gold learns a valuable lesson.
You ALWAYS let the ridiculously superpowered Krypotnian win. I'm also highly amused by the implication that Superman might just not take that hit for you if you beat him. Who knew Superman was such a poor looser? Oh yea, these guys.

Green Lantern Graffiti

Today's humorous moment comes from JLU 32. Now, the majority of this issue told me one thing: Guy Gardner is a whiny annoying little know-it all punk who needs to grow up badly. Now, to be fair, this is not main series cannon, so for all I know, he could be completely different in the main comics. But as it stands now, Guy Gardner can die in a hole - John Stewart and Kyle Rayner are the lanterns for me!

But, he did do one thing that endeared him to me slightly. And that is using his ring to graffiti on the walls of Darkseid's pallace. Why? For funsies. And seriously, pissing off a being of that kind of power in such a juvinile and hillarious way deserves major props.

Richie Rich

Some days I wonder, could there be a Batman without Bruce being ridiculously wealthy? Then I see moments like this and realize, no, there really couldn't. And if there were, he wouldn't be nearly as awesome.

Lois Almost Figures it Out

As promised, today's hilarious moment is from the tail end of Superman/Batman Annual 1. I would say there are spoilers.... but really, the issue has so much randomness that you'd have to try really hard to spoil anything. That and I'm not sure this issue is official DC cannon anyway. At any rate, on to hilarity!
Poor Lois. You would have figured it out if it weren't for those pesky superpowers! I almost feel bad for Bruce getting a superspeed costume change, but then I feel more bad for us readers that we didn't get to see it. How many of you want to bet that Supes copped a feel at Mach 4? And Bruce isn't really objecting. More stating the obvious. Worlds' greatest detective that one.

Awkward Hilarity

So, today's post is going to be a two parter with tomorrow's post. Both funny moments come from the Superman/Batman Annual 1. This chronicles Superman and Batman's first team up/ meeting each others' secret identities for the first time. I don't think this particular issue is cannon, but it's pretty hilarious anyway. Really, the entire issue is full of awesome comedic gold and random silly bizzare crack, which made it difficult to pick just one moment to share. So I picked two! One from the beginning, and one from the end (the end one you'll see tomorrow).
Oh Clark and Brucie, your awkward bro-we're-totally-straight-manly-men bed sharing moment is truly amusing. Especially since we all know you totally have the hots for each other. Fanfiction never lies right? But what's even more hilarious is the whole "how do I get the other guy to leave so I can secretly put on my spendex to do some super heroics" bit. I love how Bruce is eventually like "fuck this shit, tranqulizers time!" The realization of identities followed by property destruction just seals the deal for me. What a great issue.

Deadly Disco

This has got to be one of the best combinations of the green lantern ring and kryptonite I have ever seen. And they say John Stewart* isn't creative with his power ring! Bah!

* I am of course talking about the TV series John Stewart who was a marine and not comic John Stewart who was an architect.

Space cabby!?

Really, I can't think of any funny comments for this one. It just says it all by itself.

Nightwing's Mullet

So, as some of you may know, I just recently started reading the Nighwing comics. And I must say, that first issue was like a time machine back to the late 80s early 90s in regards to fashion. The biggest example of this is in how they drew Dick Grayson himself. Big, muscular, harry arms, and with a mullet!
But this isn't just any mullet folks. Oh no, this is a magic mullet that within seconds can become a super sleek and sexy ponytail in a matter of seconds when Dicky transforms into Nightwing!
Maybe being able to apply large amounts of hair gel in a short amount of time is his superpower? Anyway, the ponytail gets cut off fairly quickly by a bad guy, so the mullet is unceremoniously discarded into the annals of history where it belongs. Besides, what was Nightwing doing with long hair anyway when his specialty is hand to had combat? tsk tsk

Pros and Cons

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I had a crazy long commission for Grinnell College to work on. Anywhoo, this particular piece of amusement comes from Superman Birthright #6. Perry White is contemplating the pros and cons for firing Lois Lane. It equals about two seconds of comedic gold and really helps solidify and define Lois' character in a fun and unique way.
I especially like #5. Hilarity.
