My guess is that it’s him, when the result of Robin’s welding job on the exhaust makes itself manifest. It looks like that may have happened once already. I like how the cast goes on over the costume.

Early predictions of Robin’s eventual costume seem to have assumed that he’d combine the elements of his and Batman’s costumes, but also ramp up the silly parts. He looks like the most awesome birthday magician ever!

I choose to believe that those aren’t colored glasses, but that this guy is absolutely swerved out of his dome on some toad juice mushroom space chemistry and thinks he looks completely normal.

Super hearing to tell he’s elsewhere in the room? X-ray vision to see he’s behind the screen? Heat vision to melt the ice as well as reveal the wax? Jimmy, you’re trying to out-malevolent fae a malevolent fae, and I don’t think it will end well for you.

Has Jimmy been raiding the Joker’s wardrobe? I’m less concerned with Superman’s crisis du jour here and more interested in why this is apparently taking place in a disinterested Renaissance German village with a Superman-themed combination clock/fountain.

No, Jimmy, he’s probably been doing that all day, yelling “Hey! Did you notice? I’m upside down!” at every single person in Metropolis, and they’re all just sick of it and trying to ignore him.

So a guy, and it’s definitely a guy, named Anarcho wrote a book about world conquest? Was he advised by his friend Ironico?

The only angle I can imagine this hitting from requires the person to be prone on the floor. I can’t decide if this is a better pose to take when watching the news or not.

“Shooting a laser made of stray hairs from my mouth” is not a superpower I thought I’d ever have to state that I’m not a fan of. I don’t care what it says. That all comes in second. Hair laser!

That’s some blatant upstaging that even I’d be hard pressed to defeat. I mean, what would you do? Pants full of kazoo-wielding hamsters playing the Hurrian Hymn? A floating, flaming skull telling everyone how they will meet their end in Esperanto? A civil full game of Monopoly?

I’m willing to bet that he’s doing it quite loudly, too, but think about this…
…how could you stop him? What if he just kept going for days? Add this to the malevolent fae file.

Even when Cap calls you a chicken, he tries to do it nicely, or perhaps what passed for nicely in the 1940s.

Either:
1 - Jimmy knows the future and has seen the exact nature of the problem
or
2 - Superman has been doing this all day and keeps talking, heedless of the effect
Regardless, Lana’s definitely dead.

Sometimes the most fun part of a comic is the ads. I mean, 25¢ for a mail order “chameleon” with a guaranteed chance it’ll be alive when it gets there? That’s a bargain at twice the price! I like how they didn’t even try to draw it to look like anything other than an anole.
