"The Bat who shot Liberty Valence"

Hot skit coming through! As in fresh off the presses, because  I just took the pictures and finished this skit today folks. So yeah, you're welcome:)

Today I finally make use of my CSA Owlman figure, and his also debuting opponent, 1st Appearance Batman. As in Batman when he carried a gun. Yeah. Think about that little fun fact, whilst you simultaneously recall how he became Batman in the first place. Crazy huh? What can I say, this was fresh off the Pulp era of "Heroic" crimefighters. If they didn't have a superpower, odds were they were packing heat.

So with that in mind, I give you "The Bat who shot Liberty Valence."

Owlman: "Well, well , well. Look who it is. Grampa Batman himself. And look, you're still wearing those gay purple gloves too! What are you going to, slap me to death with your sissy hands? Ha ha!"

Owlman: "And oh look; you have a gun too. What are you going to do with that thing? Shoot confetti and rainbows out of it? Knowing you, you probably have a whole gay pride parade in that thing Ha ha."

Batman: "How about I shoot you in the damn face with it? Is that tough enough for you?"

Owlman: "Seriously? You're not going to shot me. Everybody knows Batman doesn't k----------"

Batman: "Well this Batman does, because I'm the goddamn Batman.....Bitch!"

Bucky-Cap: "Oh hey Batman. Have you seen my gun lately, because I have been looking everywhere for it?"

The goddamn Batman: "Does it look like this?"

Bucky-Cap: "Yeah, yeah that's my gun. Were'd you find it?"

-Bucky-Cap suddenly sees the now dead Owlman lying on the ground.

Bucky-Cap: Aww shit, I did not just see that. You know what, you keep that. It's more your color anyway since it matches your costume and all."

The Goddamn Batman: "I think I will Buck, I think I will since those cheap bastards from Mattel didn't bother to give me one."

Yeah Mattel, what gives? The 4Horsemen did an awesome job sculpting this version of Batman, even though the head could just as easily go to the Alex Ross/Kingdom Come version. But still, no gun? It's part of his freaking history folks, he used to use a fucking gun! Not for very long, but he did.

Anyways, the title of this skit should sound familiar to some of you, or at least to your parents and/or grandparents. It's a riff off of the old western called "The Man who shot Liberty Valence", starring Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne. It's not a bad movie at all, especially for me since I don't usually watch old westerns. Youtube it if you're interested enough.

Well that's me, so have a good rest of the week and weekend folks.

Monday's my 200th post, and I think you might like what I got in store for you guys. Maybe not, but we'll see.

Don't ask, Don't tell!

Happy 4th of July people!

I'm sure around this time today, you're grilling burgers and dogs, drinking cold beer, and getting ready to blow shit up with fireworks. God bless ya' if you are, because our brave men and women serving in the military give and continue to give us the opportunity to do all this.

Speaking, of the military, this leads into an very opportunistic and strangely appropriate post for today.

I recently read on the comicbookresources.com forum, a thread where some people asked if Captain America was gay. I too wondered about that, especially given how now GA Green Lantern Alan Scott was recently turned gay. But don't worry, I'm not turning Cap gay. But it is interesting to know what he's into since he's a man straight out of the 40's.

Let's have a look shall we?

Captain America: "Hey Bucky, remember back in the war when we used to have war-buddies?"

Bucky-Cap: "Uh yeah, Cap I do."

Cap: "God those were good times. Hunkering down in the cold and often, blood-filled trenches, with nothing but a war-buddy to keep you warm and grounded to reality. Of course nowadays you have that "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Good, good stuff. Best thing Clinton ever did besides getting a blowjob from that nice young woman from Hooters."

Bucky-Cap: "No Cap, Obama repelled that policy awhile ago."

Cap: "Oh. He did, did he? Damn shame. I wonder what they'll do now?"

Cap: "Did I ever tell you back in the 60's we used to call blowjobs LBJ's? Yeah, LBJ himself thought that was a hoot. Of course the "L" sometimes meant different things. Sometimes it meant Long or Little, depending on the size of the President's little Commander-in-Chief. If you get my drift."

Bucky-Cap: "*Sigh*, yes Cap, I get it. No, this isn't awkward at all. Somebody just kill me now!"

And think I was going to save this one too.
