Batman V Superman is an upcoming 2016 movie from DC Comics
in which (spoiler alert) an armored Batman battles against Superman whom he
considers a menace to mankind. But those two fighting each other is nothing
new; Batman versus Superman is in fact an old theme that has been used many
times before. For example World’s Finest #119 from 1961 answered the question,
what is more awesome than Batman? Answer-Batman riding a T-Rex and warring with
Superman in ”Battle of the Super-Heroes!”
In 1965 World’s Finest #153 documented “The Clash of Cape and
Cowl!” They became bitter enemies and Batman tries to kill Superman with a
Kryptonite Batarang. Not an imaginary
story! Plus it includes this wonderful panel inside.
World’s Finest #209 from 1972 Batman once again attacks
Superman, this time with Red Kryptonite; the unpredictable element has changed
Superman into a giant Super-Ape. Bonus points for having a Gorilla cover!
Flash-forward to March 23, 2016, once again Batman is fighting Superman
in the new movie Batman V Superman-Dawn of Justice. Bruce Wayne blames Superman
for the destruction caused in Metropolis when Superman fought General Zod in
the last movie. Plus Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg, and The Flash are also in
BVSDOJ. This is a Justice League movie! Here at the Strangest Adventures, we
hate the idea of Ben Affleck as Batman but this movie looks great and it
will be required watching. See you at the movies!
Last
time Billionaire Developer/Reality TV Star Donald Trump was featured on TheStrangest Adventures we presented what Donald Trump and other celebrities had
to say about Trump. It’s no secret that
Donald currently tops the Republican polls, though no voting occurs before
February. The schedule is here for the curious. Also it’s no secret that Trump
has made a point of insulting his opponents, his favorite tool to do this is
Twitter, the perfect media for someone with a fourth grade vocabulary, like
Donald Trump. Plus Twitter is free. Whether by Twitter, on TV or in front of
large crowds, his childish taunts and insults have raised a few eyebrows. Here
are just a few notable examples.
RickPerry- Trump says Rick Perry is so dumb that he should be forced to take an IQ
test. In all fairness Perry was smart enough to quit running for president!
MarcoRubio-Trump says Rubio is the most disloyal guy. And then there was the time
Marco Rubio responded to Obama’s State of the Union speech.
Here at The Strangest Adventures, we stand amazed at how
well Trump is currently doing in the polls. He feigned shock when Dr. BenCarson, who seems to be rising in the polls, questioned Trump’s commitment to
Christianity based on Trump’s lack of humility. We could find no comments of
note about Jim Gilmore or Mike Huckabee, they’re seemingly beneath his notice. However
we’d be remiss if we didn’t inform you of the time Donald Trump posted a
graphic of himself that included SS soldiers! Twitter was not kind to him on
that occasion. Today CNN hosts the second Republican Debate, let’s see how
things stand after this one, Trump complained bitterly for weeks about the “unfair
questions” he was asked at the last debate. In the unlikely event that Trump
gets the nomination in 2016 then gets elected as President, it will be the
strangest adventure this USA has ever been on!
Postscript
This graphic is a homage of X-Men #141 which began the "Days of Future Past" storyline, which later was adapted into a movie. There's also a bit of Trump's "Art of the Deal" thrown in for good measure. In case anyone thinks we cheated by not including every candidate, this is what Trump is covering over in the graphic.
