I find that attitude somewhat amusing. Because I feel it relates to a big reason Bats is doing better then some most other DC heroes. Hold, on because this is about to get nerdy. Batman is seen as the "thinking hero" because he has no powers, and because for a long time now the Super Hero...

Imagine a world were Batman barely had any exposure, and say it was Superman who was all over the place and every other Superman related thing took potshots at how much better Superman is then Batman. Welcome to how fans of any DC hero NOT Batman has been living in SINCE THE 90's. Batman...

It goes back much further then Johns. The flood gates to it started as early as "The Dark Knight Returns" which I know a few people who were big fans of bats LOVED to bring up because "Batman is cooler then Superman because he's human, also he's so cool he can beat Superman! See says so right...

I'm slightly disappointed at the lack of 'a The Prisoner' joke in this one, I mean the title is crying out for it.

Green Lantern nerd mode: activated originally the rings had unlimited energy for 24 hours (Or however long the Lantern's home planet day was.) but had an extra emergency supply of energy that would save the user even if the 24 hours were up, though a Lantern could do a sort of override and...

And also that they "protect the wielder from mortal harm." So, no way to get your character killed if they keep that one.

Gygax himself probably a gave a good definition of the distention in his book Role-Playing Mastery: "Certain games claim to have a basis in role-playing while in fact all they offer is an aspect of role gaming. These designs feature role assumption. That is, you are given a game persona -...
