From The Authority v1, #20.
A moment of unbelievable villainy from the Renegade Doctor, the most powerful being in all existence, given his powers back for 60 minutes. So what does he do? He goes back in time to molest you as a child whilst simultaneously fighting you in the present.
What’s more, as the next page shows, he didn’t even need to. He’s more than powerful enough to just blast her out of the sky. He did it because he could.
Plastic Man and Wonder Woman by Dominique Fam.
I remember when he did this to Big Barda. Just because you’re immortal doesn’t mean you should ignore the concept of a ‘life or death situation’ there, Plastic Man.

In the “things that I’m glad never happened, yet am somehow curious to see what would have gone down” category, Tim Burton’s Superman Lives is number one on that bizarre list. This concept art both frightens me on how bizarro this take on the Man of Steel would have been, and also intrigues me on the direction the film was going to take.
Well, Burton’s take on it would still have been interesting, at least compared to the Giant Killer Spider “No capes, no flying” version that was going to be it.
But yeah. Borg Superman? Kal-El Kryptonitehands? Steel 2.0?
Happy Birthday, Mr. Kirby.
Mister Miracle by Yildiray Cinar
I’ll talk about it until the Paradaemons come home, but Mister Miracle and Big Barda are the two most underused characters in comics today. Their married, gender-reversed dyanmic would be the cornerstone of my Justice League.

The Batman Returns design of Catwoman has always been my favourite, hands down. Realistic? No. Practical? No. But damn classy? You bet your sweet catnip it is.
Elseworlds can be a wonderful thing sometimes.
As much as the concept of ‘multiple realities’ and ‘alternate universes’ hold sway, sometimes it’s just for the best to say “This never actually happened, but it’s cool anyway, yeah?” Give me more Elseworlds over trying to shoehorn everything into continuity - some stories are just better if left to their own little pocket of reality.
Plus, Elseworlds have the best damn costume designs ever.
We’re all Batsy in the belfry by Bob Strang
OH GOD ANOTHER ONE YOU’RE TORTURING ME
Joker’s looking a bit fanged there, I have to say. I wonder, has anyone written any Twilight / Bat-Family fanfiction? I - no, wait. I really don’t want to know.
