redandgoldjiminyThere's a lot of stuff I just don't understand. I mean--I don't think I'm a stupid person. I work in a lab, and I'm pretty good at it. I know what I'm doing, and how to look at evidence in a way that makes it tell me its story. Sometimes I run off without waiting for all the information, but I don't think that makes me stupid. Just impatient.
But anyway--there are things I just don't get.
Like Bats, and his big dark and broody routine. I mean--I know Gotham needs a different kind of hero than Central City and everything, but I really don't think it would kill the guy to crack a smile once in a while, you know? The Gotham underworld is not going to be less terrified of a Batman that occasionally smiled. If anything, I'd think they'd be more afraid. What can be more scary than having a guy grin while he's kicking your ass?
And Supes? I have no idea how he does it. It's not really a walk (or run) in the park being the Flash, but I think that if the world needed me as often as it needs him, I'd go completely nuts trying to be everywhere at once. So, uh, way to not lose it, man!
GL has a huge amount of responsibility with that ring of his... and I won't even pretend to understand how that thing works. Put it on the list of things Wally is not qualified or capable of dealing with. And I'm pretty okay with that, actually. Leave that to John and Kilowog... Man, we have to get together again sometime...
As for Diana, Shayera, and J'onn... I don't understand how they do it. They live apart from everything they've ever known, and how much does that have to suck for them? I really don't understand how they function on a day to day basis. I've been away from Earth, and away from home, and I couldn't wait to get back. Having "back" not be home would be impossible for me. I have no idea how I'd deal with it, and I really don't know how they do.
Basically, I have no idea how this team works as well as it does. We're so different, and we all work in such different ways, but somehow... it works. And I guess I sound a little afterschool special-ish right now, but... It's pretty cool.
