Can someone PLEASE tell me what issue this is? DC and The Muppets are two of my hyper fixations!!

Unironically one of my favorite little snippets from geoff john's run of gl was Hal talking about the muppets and kermit the frog in the middle of intergalactic war

i have to read every appearance of every single character before i can write them or i'll do it wrong, and then i'll write them wrong anyways and they will execute me by firing squad in my ao3 comments.

Im convinced that Dick named the Aquacave as well. The JL kept letting him name things and is causing issues like a decade later.

But it's Green Arrow who gets crap for copying Batman.

YOU PUT IT INTO WORDS!!!!

I think the thing that people miss when they say that Ollie, like many other heroes in the JL, puts himself above the people he serves is that he just….. doesn’t…… the man has an ego for sure, but he’s not interested in being above the people he serves by any means.

Ollie stands trial for things he does as Green Arrow as Oliver Queen. He doesn’t prioritize a secret identity because as evidenced in JL comics from the 60s, Ollie isn’t a hero for the aggrandizement, he’s a hero because he believes in people and he pushes down the desire for fame and self import because people believe in him. For him being a hero is just as much about being held accountable as it is about serving others- because he doesn’t think that there’s anything heroic in causing more damage to people’s lives, so he lets a justice system he views as corrupt pass judgement on his extra-judicial actions because it’s a symbol to the people that he works for them rather than for himself, that he’s willing to take criticism and to subject himself to punishment when he does wrong.

Ollie’s entire schtick with the JL is that he’s constantly telling them to remember who they work for, that they don’t work for the team they work for the people. He doesn’t like their HQ being physically above the world because it can lead to them “looking” down on people. He funds the league but doesn’t try to run it because he’s not interested in being in charge, he’s just interested in helping. He doesn’t trust the league but he understands why it needs to exist which is why when he has money he funds it. He wonders who watches the JL, who is supposed to keep them in check? He’s the one asking and pushing for ways to make sure that the League keeps sight of their true purpose. He’s viewed as the least corruptible member of the league, the most moral, the least likely to turn.

Yes Ollie was raised rich and he comes from a privileged background and you can absolutely see that in the way he carries himself and in the literature that clearly defined his sense of self (I’m working on a meta about this)- but more than that Ollie is also a man who’s had nothing, a man who needed saving, and a man who saw what little sympathy was given to a rich and powerful man who had experienced great trauma and stopped to think about how little must be given to those without his wealth and power and set out to do something about it.

If you want to point fingers at JL members looking for power or placing themselves above others there are other heroes to look at with significantly more evidence to that point.

Ok, maybe I need to read New Gods

"refugees are welcome" The New Gods #7 by Ram V. and Evan Cagle

[starsjax]

damian has to be the funniest batkid because he looked back on all the crazy bullshit all his older siblings did during their rebellious phases like going on murderous rampages, running away to strike out alone as a vigilante in a different city, becoming a crime lord, and then proceeded to accurately predict ‘what can i do to top that and actually freak Batman out?’ and immediately applied for medical school.

Ok, loves, so we've all got the message that joking about suicide is bad for your mental health. Now we need to get on "joking that the planet/all of humanity has no future is bad for societal health/encouraging resistance to bad shit."
