            Hmm, “Busty Nerdette.” So that would be a super-heroine with a large chest. That narrows it down to… well, all of them.

            (I’m guessing you mean Wonder Woman, though with the recent discussion of chest windows there are some other possibilities — possiBILLIEties? — there as well.)

            Booster Gold used to be a pro athlete, so maybe he’d get a pass, too. (Though the time traveling and the robot and the friendship with Blue Beetle probably cancel it out.)

    Billie isn’t one-note, she’s two-note. She’s got a superiority complex and she’s alcoholic. Thus far, that seems to be all there is to her. Hopefully, with time, Billie will become an entire concert.

    Of course, Dorothy probably doesn’t know about the alcoholism yet, so her calling her “one-note” is justified.

    I’d totally take it on myself to do that as a reporter regardless of the superheroe’s wishes. I’d also choose names that were only vaguely thematically appropriate and potentially ill fitting.

    Captain America and Bucky are now Guns and Ammo.
    Batman and Robin shall be referred to as Darky McBlackerson and the Crimson Fruitcake.
    Superman? Nay, I say we call him “Better-than-you Guy”

    Silver Surfer shall simply answer to AnthroSpaceCore.

      But Captain America is a title. He is an officer in the U.S. Army.

      And that Batman one might be seen as racist by some people. I’m sure I’ve heard the Robin one before though, same with Superman.

        Really? We’re expecting people to call racism for referring to a man’s wardrobe coloration and chosen theme as a creature of the night now? I don’t even know how to respond to that, but I’ll certainly apologize if I’ve offended anyone. Not looking to make an issue out of it. Meant it to be far more harmless and humorous than that.

          I didn’t say it was offensive, I was saying it could really be taken that way.

          Besides, it’s a mouthful.

              I’d hope it’s not well known in universe. I honestly don’t think it’d matter to the readers of the comic. Cause really, if you saw a news article talking about this new hero Darky McBlackerson, wouldn’t you think something was wrong there?

                Ah, I get it. You’re talking about readers of the imaginary newspaper in which this name would be used. Yeah, ok. That’s legit. I hadn’t actually thought it through to such an extent. There’s a reason none of these articles were published 😉

                For that matter, Batman doesn’t seem like the type with a sense of humor (well at least not in most recent renditions). I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to poke fun at him on principle. Captain America also kind of scares me XD.

                I totally thought we were talking about other commenters here.

    Walky, no stare at the boobies. I know it can be difficult at times, man, but you just have to snap out of the trance, or lest you’ll turn to stone. Or something. Mostly you’ll just get mace sprayed in your face.

    Seriously, though, Walky’s unintentional placement of his “deer-in-headlights” gaze is HILARIOUS.

      It wouldn’t be too hard for him to do, the odds are that he already has the templates for various characters ready to use with the background for the banner, so if he decides to change it, it will only take a couple of minutes.

Here’s another little excerpt from the interview for the night crowd, Hollywood call me www.comicsbeat.com/pride-interv...
Excerpt from comics beat interview where I say “ Other than that, I have big dreams about adapting something into animation and doing more writing-only projects. I love making comics with all my heart but man alive they’re a lot of work. Unfortunately, I will continue to do them until I die.”

I got to chat with @ebhutchins.bsky.social about Real Hero Shit: Harder Than It Looks, fantasy capitalism, and writing queer characters who are "obnoxious, slutty, and rude" (my words) over on Comics Beat! 🗡️😈🔥☀️ www.comicsbeat.com/pride-interv...
The header of the Comics Beat interview article, with the text:

I basically don't drink anymore and I also haven't eassume yet today, so I assume this 10.4% ABV stout will put me on my ass.

I was mistaken! I didn't Sharpie anything on the older Bumblebee. He actually came like that.

Guess if they were gonna start remaking anybody in Studio Series it'd start with this guy. (Earlier version lightly Sharpied)
