New TEEN TITANS and JUSTICE LEAGUE (w/ Spoilers)

[Lord Pendragon]

The Question is also the character whom Rorschach, of the Watchmen, was based on, and I'm guessing the JLU team wanted a bit of Rorschach (a paranoid loon) in their version of the Question.

Odd, I never found Rorschach to be paranoid. He never seemed to see anything but the awful truth...

My wife laughed out loud when he dropped the pins.

That's wasn't as funny to me as much as "Damn that's smart and cool!" But still pretty good part of the ep.

Watched this little piggy, Great episode, Who would guessed that Batman was the real Velvet Fog (two points for anyone that knows that referance)

Watched Fearful Symmetry. More good stuff. I'm not familiar with the Question, is there a reason his face isn't there, or is he just really good at poker? Is his power some kind of permanent alterself? Good stuff. Also what Super Girls clone from the comics?

Mel Torme. (I used to watch Night Court.)

The Question has no powers. He's a highly skilled fighter, and the faceless mask is a gimmick. He does have a new comic coming out, though, and here's a quote from an article on Comic Book Resources.

"The Question was created by Steve Ditko for Charlton Comics back in the 60's," Veitch told CBR News when asked to describe the character. "His story was pretty basic; crusading TV journalist Vic Sage decides to become a street vigilante by donning a mask and battling corruption in Hub City (or Chicago, depending on which year we're talking). Like all the Charlton characters, the Question was batted out for abysmal page rates, but since it was batted out by Ditko it had a lovely subterranean charm to it. Vic Sage would press his belt buckle, viscous Ditko gas would envelope him and out would step the faceless and unstoppable crimefighter."

Veitch, the author of the new series, also makes it vague in the comic as to whether or not Sage is playing with a full deck.

Thats probably a valid referance but not the one i'm looking for, its a little ore recent then night court. Hazzah for the effort thought

I take it you were looking for the Seinfeld reference? (Unless Mel Torme was wrong...which I highly doubt.)

Jar,

Regarding Supergirl's clone, I don't believe they ever tried to clone her. But there was a reference to the fact she (Super girl's clone) was veiled way of mentioning the more of a "alternate grown Supergirl" that came in...I believe in the 70s. Tv Tome's log has more of that reference. Basically it was Super-girl versus "Power Woman". I do know it was before the Crisis of Infinite Earths when that happened.

While everyone is talking about JLU, Teen Titans has been above average all season. With Starfire's sister returning this week it can only get better.
