Don’t forget that Vincent (John Travolta) copped Adam West’s batusi dance moves during the Jackrabbit Slim’s twist contest in Pulp Fiction.

I don’t know that it spoofs a specific cover, but I love the way Steve Vance created Magmo by crossing Kirby’s style (and Dots!) with Groening’s bigfoot/overbite character designs.

Right. But the summary says Gotham’s villains kept getting crueler — which is consistent with what happened in the comics between 1966 and 1977. After “The Joker’s Five-Way Revenge” in 1973, the Clown Prince of Crime became a much different character than the one Cesar Romero’s portrayal was based upon. (I know, I

His name is Katar, but everyone just started calling him Carter.

I suppose the triangular Dr. Mid-Nite goggles from the comics might look silly on an actor’s face in the real world, but I miss them. And maybe it makes me a terrible person, but the goggles as designed and worn here totally remind me of Invisible Boy from “Mystery Men.”

This has me even more eager than ever to see the show. But it’s Alfre *Woodard*. There’s only one “w” in her name.

The nonsmoking gun!

Haunted Tank Army Surplus! Great Kubert’s ghost!

Ty Hardin, yes. I never knew what he looked like, but the name is familiar: He was series creator William Dozier’s first choice to play Batman on the ’60s TV series. Hardin was unavailable, so Adam West got the part.

And combining it with the heroes of “Sea Org!”

I haven’t followed it for a lot longer than you haven’t followed it. :) What happened to Danny’s chest tattoo?

Flaming Carrot went on a bender with Death, and also challenged him to a game of Jarts.

Great list, but it omits the slang word most relevant to this discussion — “muggles” itself! The word already had some currency in Jazz-Age patois as a synonym for cannabis, along with “gage” and “reefer.” Louis Armstrong, an ardent enthusiast, wrote a tune about it:

This retconned important lineage could be midichlorians all over again.

I’m hoping for Annihilus.

Who knows which continuity (if any) it was in, but there was a story some time back involving Ra's al-Ghul resurrecting Thomas and Martha Wayne in the Lazarus pit (or maybe just threatening to do so — I really can't recall). That was my first indication the pit can work on long-dead corpses, and not just the recently

Yes that's Jenny Lewis.

How's this? His phasing powers and all the extra AI required for his personality require more juice than an arc reactor can supply, so Vizh's cape boosts his power levels by acting as a solar collector.
