The justice league animated series version of aquaman had the hook hand and his character in the show was all the better developed by it.

[@sonsofthewestredwhiteblue5317]

This guy gets hooked. Editors note: Aside from Jason Momoa... the Aquaman I’m acquainted with is late 80’s, Justice League of America. He was vanilla af. I assume it was that depiction that inspired Family Guy to do their pistake (he’s coloured exactly the same in both). In saying that, I don’t think I’d be too keen on exploring the adventures of Aquaman the invalid. ‘Summon any creature in the Ocean to do his bidding’.... that was his hook. Coming off second best after trying to fish his flat mates fiancés engagement ring out of the InSinkErator draws me into the plight Whether you’re Pro or Anti hook, ‘debate’ will go on... (Wokka Wokka)

[@GabePuratekuta]

@@sonsofthewestredwhiteblue5317 That version of Aquaman is probably the go-to for parodying the character.

[@toganium4175]

Funny how a terrifying series like Justice League Dark stars a character that's literally called Detective Chimp.

[@WaryObserver]

Well, to be honest, I find it good they not just ignore potential good characters just for the name and design. It shows some consistency for once instead of, you know, things like, why certain heroes not ask the Justice League for help when something big seems to happen and no one seems to notice or be around at all for example. Showing that yes, those characters are existing for a reason and can be useful with their skills and not just be some one-shot character like so many before.

I thought the worst present ever was Joker's expired coupon for new parents.

[@sichacha9718]

"This is a Joker joke"

[@sephikong8323]

What's messed up is that Batman even tried to stop him by firing a Bat Rocket at him, but they made the Joker so OP in this issue that he "deflected it with his sick sense of humor", he's so strong he can affect physical objects with freaking personality traits ? This man is like on Dr Manhattan levels of strength I think, and it shows with the level of savagery he followed it with by sending the coupons

[@rahulbansal2]

I understood that reference

[@zeshaanazam6938]

What about when Batman was merged with the Joker by machinery, where one side of the head was Batman and the other Joker? And Batman had to watch the Joker commit so many crimes, but couldn't stop him? (I think it was New 52: Future's End)

[@BrianGeers]

I would say Identity Crisis was a seven-issue long messed up moment. What happened to Sue Dibney was definitely the worst of it, but there plenty else in the series that was pretty messed up.

[@Th3Illegal]

[@TheWykedKara]

Wasn't that Black Canary in all-star batman & robin?

[@deciduous_reaper]

That was Black Canary not Catwoman

[@magusxxx]

I was hoping you would have mentioned Superman's little talk with the wizard who gave Shazam his powers. It was pretty touching and scary as hell to Superman that this young, homeless, untrained twelve year old would be given such an epic responsibility.

@@plantainsame2049 Superman/Shazam: First Thunder #4

[@chefcorinth]

How is that a messed up moment

[@AustynSN]

Billy's reveal and Superman's immediate response is one of my favorite Superman scenes ever. That said, it wasn't "the wizard who gave Shazam his powers", but "Shazam, the wizard who gave Captain Marvel his powers". (This was back when DC was still calling him "Captain Marvel" inside the stories. The name "Power of Shazam" was used on titles, which I really liked because it made the point that the stories could be about anybody who had the power, be it Billy, Mary, Freddy, Adam, etc.)

I don't know what's more disturbing: Both Batman and Nightwing being raped or the fact that they're not on this list.

[@theteddy1487]

Idk about Nightwing but I'm assuming with Batman you're talking about Damian's mom. People will argue against that because it doesn't fit the legal definition of rape.

[@Shiirow]
