[Comic Excerpt] Just normal Clark Kent trying to react to getting hit to a mallet - Superman/Batman #87
Also, he looks like a really pissed-off Hank Hill, and I think that’s hilarious.
DopplerSexWaves
Or him calmly eating bullets for lunch after a failed assassination attempt. All while trying not to alarm his date.
humourasdryasyourgf
He'll survive by annoying the Joker with propane propaganda
TheBurritoConfederacy
Ah good, I'm glad I'm not the only one who made the Hank Hill connection. (Especially from the thumbnail.)

This is part of why Clark is a good reporter, to do this he needs to actually observe whats around him to blend in

Brilliant

The Joker is crazy creepy here
Rheios
To be fair the Joker is regularly creepy everywhere really. Psychotic laughter and acid-burn make up will probably do that.

How is the james lipton improv gif not in the comments yet? I'd do it if I knew how but I suck at internetting.
ISarabi
Because Imgur is terrible at improv. We're much better at memorizing the same two dozen scripts and following them over and over.

Hey I know unpretty! She is amazingly funny and smart.
Bacxaber
Okay then, Unpretty. We all know it's you.
EleishaPaints
Nope. I showed her this post and she was pretty surprised. I don't know how to prove otherwise to you that I'm not her. Sorry

I would of taken it, flew up, and tell him he's taking Bruce's job and bring him to a deserted island
LoopStricken
*would have
CityYeti
yes that, thank you
AheagoAmigo
It's kind of why people dont see Clark Kent as Superman. He slumps, he changes his tone of voice, & other minor things. Its not just glasses
Rheios
Still sometimes surprised he doesn't get more "You look like Superman if he didn't have a spine and had bad eyes" though.
RachTrap
In some versions he could actually change his appearance, but the comic just left him mostly the same so the reader wasn't confused.
ArdentSlacker
It's the tight costume. Same reason you don't know Power Girl's secret identity off-hand. Nobody's looking at his face...
Rheios
"So...uh...Superman..." "My eyes are up HERE Lois."
ISarabi
It's the blonde girl with the huge breasts and the laser-eyes, right? How many of them could there be on Earth?
IHaveThePerfectPuzzleForYou
"Also, he looks like a really pissed-off Hank Hill"...Fuck, cannot unsee!

I'd read a King of the Hill comic I tell you hwat.

Ok, also, I love comics too, fine, you caught me.

I always imagined that Superman could make his body feel softer if he were put in a situation where he had to get punched as Clark Kent

Thanks, that was a good comic to read.
jayxero
Is there not pics of the aftermath?
MintSM
The post didn't come with it. :( Though I think it's honestly funnier if you just picture it in your head.
duketor
What do you mean the post didn't come with it lol
MintSM
The tumblr post never included the original comic source, so idk where this is from to see if there was an aftermath.
IAmNotAScentientCurtain
Tumblr has other kind of posts than feminazis and porn?
MintSM
Oh, you are going to love the rest of my imgur gallery.
scarabrae
Frame 1-2, Joker is swinging cross-handed, and it's corrected in Frame 3. Now you can't unsee that, either.
JupiterJedi
You monster!
wraen
I mean... they're pictures, not video. Could easily just have moved his hands.
MintSM
In the middle of swinging? Or are you really suggesting he paused for 2 seconds to reorient his hands before smashing Supes' head in?
wraen
That's what I'm saying. Just trying to help a fellow artist out. =P

Not really. Had a close call with a meteorite once though. I've even held one my late father gave me.

May I request the rest of this please?

If someone provides the issue and run, you can probably find it on Hellocomic.com fairly easily.

silverbean
i've payed for a lot of comics in my day.. But you can find most popular DC & Marvel comics on your friendly neighborhood torrent site.
vondeluth
It's pretty kickass.to be able to just torrentx whatever you're thinking of. Something about the bay of pirates.

Summersky
Is he single and ready to flamingle?
VanTheStampede
Very much not haha
Summersky
I tried.
GreatBusta
Just kill the Joker. Now there is an solution.
KuroVolt
Right? He could just get rid of the body using his superpowers too, no witnesses! Nobody would have to know, the world would be better off.
NostrilMonster
I dunno man, the last time that happened, we had some serious repercussions.
ElbowDeepinaTinyOctopus
As has been pointed out to me recently, the current incarnation of Joker (New 52) is immortal due to having al Ghul's elixer stuff in him.
Bacxaber
Then put him in those glass shard kryptonian prisons.
DMGuy
I want to see some Batman story arc that starts with Batman dropping the Joker off with the police, and some random cop decides to just (1)
DMGuy
pull out his gun and shoot the Joker right there. And does it. (2)
ISarabi
No one will arrest him, but he gets suspended indefinitely with pay. Batman tries to mete out justice, but how much is enough vs. too much?
DMGuy
Yeah, I basically figure it's a story arc of Batman dealing with the consequences of Joker dying like that, and questioning his own methods.
JunWasHere
A Superman willing to kill is worse than a live-and-kicking Joker. He becomes a tyrant that oppresses the world.
Thorinandcompany
punisher?
risewing96
Not really? Superman has never had a strict obsessive code. He's killed several times. It's when he kills for an agenda that he goes nuts.
DMGuy
Yeah, and I feel like killing the Joker is one of those acceptable breaks from what code he does have. Joker kills a *lot* of people.
risewing96
Yeah. I agree, but superheroes are myth, so logic is thrown out for good drama and posturing, especially in the mainline dc pantheon.
Huterwolf
Yeah, that worked out perfectly in that one timeline where he killed the joker!
ElbowDeepinaTinyOctopus
Unless an impregnated Lois Lane is dead in this timeline as well, I don't think the same results would occur - Lois humanizes him.
NotAPervert
I'm guessing it didn't actually work out perfectly?
Huterwolf
No, not at all. I won't go too much into detail, but it resulted in a lot of conflict and death. Series is the Injustice Series.
saralas
Also, the comics are based on a game, so there's that, too.
Bacxaber
Other way around, bucko.
