help the lil chaotic multidimensional demons Batman/Superman: World's Finest #25 by Mark Waid and Dan Mora

No big deal. Just Bruce referring to Superman as his.

He’s very well-behaved.

True, but I take difficult steps to secure my identity. Plus... If I give people the slightest reason not to trust me, they’ll fear me instead.

reading yj in true publication order is legit insane bc bart was really going into a superhero team after waid, messmer-loebs, and co. pretty much ironed out that despite max being the zen master of speed and everyone’s mentor/uncle-figure… max was not ACTUALLY equipped to be a father. if anything, he shoulda been a weekend caretaker at best, but between him and wally, bart was completely screwed. him joining yj off the heels of max’s repeated failures at connecting with bart just makes so much sense cuz it’s like…. bart learned a LOT under max, but even after 40+ issues together, max still didn’t UNDERSTAND bart because he WAS NOT a good foster parent and he shouldn’t have been a parent at all! and max knows that… helen too. and i suspect bart did too, but he forgave him for it just like he’s forgiven most ppl in his ‘family’ for their transgressions.

bc what choice does bart really have at the end of the day? he’s still a refugee and his mom still can’t bring him home, so he’s got no choice but to make the best out of a shitty situation bc otherwise he’d have to admit that maybe he was better off dead. which is truly heartbreaking when you get to the yj piece of his story bc even the others look down on him and don’t treat him the best all the time. but he loves them anyway, bc what and WHO else does bart allen have left? when you’ve been ousted from your own century AND forced to live with people who’ve made it clear numerous times that they don’t want you there, what else can you do but put on a smile and brave through? you don’t even love yourself, but you love others SO much and willing to sacrifice yourself for it. you didn’t even get a lightning rod until 20+ years AFTER your debut. bart allen, the man that you are

Bro Shazam (2023) is so funny what

Spoilers for issue #8:

(Don't ask about the dinosaurs they just want you to do their paperwork)

Anyway,

LMAO WHAT?! ADAM! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!

But then he does?!

We are treated to Black Adam guiltily fleeing a disaster he caused in the funniest way possible, which on its own would have been great if maybe a little shitposty, but then we're ALSO gifted with the noble Adam with a heart and the confidence in his convictions to challenge Zeus directly over a little kid he can't stand! Bro this is peak! Mr. Waid inject it directly into my veins!

Also shout-out to Mr. Sudzuka, Our boy Teth is not escaping the poor little meow meow allegations looking like this.
