Fanboy Squee!!!

One website that I hate is superdickery.com  because every Superman hater loves to link to that site. Oblivious to the fact that Batman's "super-preparedness" has made him as boring and invincible as the Man of Steel. Guess they like that Batman's emo about it. But, Batman the Brave and the Bold just aired a new episode filled with references to some of Superman's dickish moments from the 1950s.



So, let's see how many I can identify.

Jimmy:


Lois:





King Superman:



And they're pretty funny. Mainly, cause I never thought I'd ever see any of that in Animation. Batman BttB gets some hate for not being all-serious like Batman the Animated Series, but it's given real DC fans a lot of cool moments that we'll never get anywhere else. But, my personal favorite, what actually made me "squee" with fanboy delight, are the references to Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns.

I might be looking too hard, but the battle begins with Superman floating over Batman like in DKR:



The Man of Steel gets one good punch that sends Batman flying through a building, in DKR he slams into a lampost:

Then Batman in BBatB starts a counter offensive starting with his punch from Hush:




Followed by the BatBoot to the face:

Then, followed by a punch:








But, just like DKR Batman had to fake his own death to prevent getting killed by Superman, BatB Batman only has to wait out the limit of the Red Kryptonite's effects. The whole fight lasts 3 minutes 20 seconds.

Geez, I can't believe I have to wait at least a YEAR before I get to own the DVDs with these episodes.

Oh, well, let's end with a shot from Justice:
