Croc was kept sedated until a minor disaster, after which Joker alters his records so he’s given amphetamines instead. Honestly though good luck trying to get most of the inmates to take pills, they’re mostly way too smart.

Not particularly, that’s actually a fairly recent thing overall.

It really was just an asylum, everyone in there is either insane, pretended to avoid prison, or committed themselves. There’s actually meant to be a civilian wing for your regular non-villains to recuperate (not my choice either).

Definitely, he’s one of the few villains you can relate to on a personal level; though that said some of the others that are deeply broken have background that’s fairly well thought out originally. The more I hear about Nu52 the more I cringe, I was never a big DC fan but apart from individuals like the Joker who…

It’s not just Harley, it’s popped up a couple of times because he doesn’t really fit the mold for any specific mental illness, like Hannibal Lecter he seems to be a mixture of traits that point at psychopathic, but the degree of awareness breaks away from that.

Well there’s also suicide squad which kind of adds another WTF element to the mix in the comics with regards to several dozen of the villains getting out from time to time.

You’re right though, Bats is a vigilante and the only difference between him and his prey is —if you’re objective— the self imposed no killing, he’s as broken as the Joker, Two Face, or even Harley in his own way.

There is a question as to why Isla Nublar needs the computing power of 3 Crays yes. Not the only question as the purchases extend to a lot of stuff that makes no sense to the beancounters.

It’s actually one thing completely overlooked in Lauren’s article is the fact that Bruce is a GD prodigious intellect with a finely honed skillset for detective work on top of that incredible physique.

It is actually, Bats is pretty much the DC equivalent of Ironman, just without the reliance on energy weaponry. Hank Pym is also possessed of a very similar intellectual capability to Stark as well, though being a pacifist his application of that intellect is far less showy typically. There’s plenty of geniuses in…

There’s also the concept of us vs them, a hero that kills isn’t necessarily any better than the criminals. Though it also makes the life of the writer easier too, you don’t need a new villain every issue because you killed the Joker last week.

Usually in team sports yes, the management of the team take the money, take out the agreed cut (which is intended to pay expenses, marketing, etc), and the players get their contracted pay. Even a lot of individual sports such as boxing the manager gets paid and they pay their boxers as agreed of course if they fail…

Team management appear to have pocketed it instead of treating their players with respect.

Well chances are you’ll be seeing them for follow ups and other medical needs as a woman ie papsmears. So it makes some sense to find one you’re comfortable with. There’s a reason I kept my GP for 30 years before he retired by the same note despite him not being involved in many of my surgeries.

It seems to have become somewhat cyclical with periods of “doctor knows best”, then “midwives all the way” I saw through the last century as a historian.

There’s definitely several BB cartoons featuring Native Americans, most probably would be banned for various reasons ie Geronimo in that particular episode was totally wrong being Chiricahua, which would be offensive to some at least being portrayed as what looks more like Sioux than any Apache.

Horse Hare is the episode I think, also has Yosemite Sam as the fort CO.

I hope so, the alternative is they’re one of those “men can’t be raped” crowd. I have fights with them regularly, I’m due for the next one any day now.

As opposed to all those men in spandex? ;-)

Yeah that’d be fine except for the fact Hulk can still do damage at range, never forget his “thunderous/thunder clap”. You’d need to keep his hands apart and remember the angrier he gets the stronger he gets.
