Alfred Olsen (Sept. 23, 1854 - 1932) was a Danish marine and landscape painter. He trained at the Royal academy in the 1880s, after which he started spending more and more time up at Skagen. He is considered one of the minor Skagen painters, but also traveled widely through Europe and painted other coastal scenes.

Matching Superfam up to Batfam

So I totally stole this from the internet, but it's a fun exercise in trying to get the Super-fam to match up to the Bat-fam in terms of members. Here is a starting list (not mine, I stole it from the internet). It is delightful:

Batman-->Superman

Dick Grayson-->Jimmy Olsen

Alfred-->Ma and Pa Kent

Barbara Gordon-->Supergirl

Tim Drake-->Conner

Jason Todd--->Powergirl

Cassandra Cain--->Kong

Stephanie Brown-->Lana Lang

Damian-->Jon Kent

Catwoman--->Lois Lane

Thomas Duke--->Perry White

Jim Gordon-->John Henry

Batwoman

Ace-->Krypto

Harley quin??---->Luthor??

Azrael??

Batmite??

Lucius Fox

Lellie thompson

Ghostmaker

Batwing

Huntress??--->Natasha Irons

Making this list involves two wonderful questions: (1) who is the Bat-fam / Super-fam; and (2) how do those people match up against one another.

Obsessed with the idea of Clark, after months of months of intense, depressing cases, getting his investigative friends back together to have one fun, simple mystery... on a murder mystery cruise. Too simple, unfortunately, as most of them solve it immediately and spend the rest of the trip desperately pretending they hadn't already figured it out.

Bruce and Lois are in lockstep at the back of the pack pretending to be clueless but under their breaths are maliciously trying to out spoil the next big reveal for each other. Bruce has a keen eye for the props and details, while Lois knows how a story is written, resulting in a wicked but equal back and forth.

Clark has his eyes locked straight ahead trying desperately not to listen to the actors practicing their lines in the next room over... and ends up blocking out most of the actual plot. Regardless of whether a clue he picks up is intentionally placed or not, he tries his best to forget it immediately and just "enjoy the experience".

The crew had hope for Jimmy. He's a nice young man—very engaged. Little too engaged. Never comes close to solving the case but came out with a very comprehensive knowledge of the first (and only the first) character's backstory. He goes missing after the first few hours and spends the next two days lost in the bellows of the ship investigating the life of the boat's first owner and the many adventures it has been on since. None of it useful to the scripted mystery, but it's significantly more interesting.

In the end, the only ones who properly solve the case are the two old ladies who coincidentally got tickets for the same weekend. Most of their progress could be attributed to Dick's help, however, as he split his time between aiding them and trying to get Alfred a cameo role in the plot.

Lois writes a shoddy review of cruise a week later. The plot is significantly more complex than actually staged—reliant more on how she and Bruce thought the story went (or was going to go), and less on any true memories. The accompanying photos of an old privateer's maps and the musty lost rooms of the ship's hull only aid in the confusion. Clark cannot provide clarification when asked and the review is eventually scraped.

All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable, if utterly unproductive, vacation.

“It’s fun. And besides it wouldn’t be Superman. It’d be—”

“You have a civilian identity?” Batman looked genuinely surprised.

“Yeah.”

“I didn’t realize. I thought you lived at the fortress full time, or do you just have a go-to human disguise for getting takeout?”

 A newly established Superbat realizes that they need to share identities to keep the relationship going. They decided to play a prolonged game of 20 questions about it.

"At night illuminated by a million lights, Paris was dazzlingly beautiful-- but the city of lights hold it's dark side, as well. It was in the shadows of the immeubles and apartaments of the Left Bank-- that I would find the man I sought. The only son of a wealthy Gotham family-- Bruce Wayne abandoned high society after the tragic death of his parents-- traveling the world as a soldier of fortune-- living a life of reckless adventure to mask the pain of his loss."

They gave each other serious nods.

"For the honor!"

"For the honor!"

"And the first ever Celebrity Metropolis vs Gotham Bake off has begun. Our team Captains- Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent are taking it very seriously." There was a sigh from the host, Oliver Queen whose city won the previous year..

finally reading jimmy olsen and i think this is my favourite page so far.

I was thinking about how it was kind of funny how Superman is Batman's best friend, but Superman's best friend is Jimmy Olsen. That led me to googling who was Batman's best friend and I got this.

I mean :)) That is funny, but definitely debatable. There's no doubt that Alfred is the one to know Bruce best-- but I wouldn't call him Bruce's best friend, because Alfred's dynamic with Bruce as both a surrogate father and technically an employee complicates things a lot. Clark is a peer of a similar age and standing to Bruce, who he befriended in a coworker setting.

And is Clark's best friend Jimmy Olsen? I'm not familiar enough with Superman comics to debate that, but maybe Clark considers them both really good friends; while Jimmy interacts a lot with Clark Kent, Bruce is part of Superman's life more. They fight together as heroes and can understand each other's struggles to a deeper degree.
