JL8

I think Bruce's mistake is more justified since he's implied to be very lonely due to being an orphan and all. He's trying to be close to someone, but he's so emotionally stunted that he feels the need to hide behind his richness instead of making a genuine connection.

Whereas Karen is just using Bruce as a means to an end. An end that ends in seeing ponies.

Of course she is. She's being a rude jerk.

Just because Bruce made a mistake doesn't excuse her own behavior.

Really, ''really'' patient with her.◊

I've got to say that Miguel is coming off as one heck of a guy here too. Is he supposed to be based off of Miguel Diaz, do you think? And big props for Bruce establishing that he's not making access to horses conditional on him being around for it. I don't know that it's going to work for him, but it's a class move.

Nah. Besides name and hair colour, they have nothing in common.

There's a new JL 8 comic. I can't link to it because I switched accounts, though. (I just wanted to change my username, dang it!) And I'm too lazy to log back into my old account.

Bruce puts his foot in it.

To be fair that song is garbage.

And honestly, if you feel like you have to "dumb yourself down" to make someone like you... maybe they're really not the right kind of person for you. There's something to be said for being able to adjust to the level of your audience, but in general...

Just a reminder that JL8 Superman is the best Superman ever.◊

Huh. I honestly wasn't expecting this to become a major plot thing. Are those kids any DC comics characters that I don't know about?

Probably, but I couldn't tell you which if they are.

#@$%* just got real.

Diana looks fucking terrifying.

I'd say that "Oh " is a pretty appropriate reaction.

I'm hard pressed to believe that kid throwing the baseball isn't someone we should be familiar with, but I can't tell at all who it's supposed to be.

Though someone in the comments thinks it's a version of Lobo.

Well, this won't go well.

Here's my only problem with keeping certain characters exactly the same but tiny. It works for Clark because he's the goodest guy and it works for Bruce because it's funny.

It doesn't work for Diana because this is a superhuman child willing to murder other, normal children.

I get the impression that that kid is also superhuman, which Diana would easily be able to tell from the throw, and I really wouldn't call her getting angry a willingness to murder.

These are children, can't be much more than first grade. Children are prone to violent overreaction, even more so if they are, say, the child of a warrior race. That's what tantrums are. Tantrums with godpowers.

Your criticism is based on Diana retaining the same personality as her adult self. Is she a tiny adult or an overreacting child?

Regardless, still not seeing how murder is an option that is on this particular table.

Bringing the thunder.

I guess that kid is supposed to be Billy Batson????

No, he's just some asshole, I guess.

He's got Super-Strength and lightning powers. It'd be an unusually jerk-assy adaptation of Billy, but unless that's supposed to be Adam, I don't know who else it would be.

I did see someone theorize Lobo, but if he really does have lightning powers, that would throw off that theory.

Black Adam really would be the only character that stands out as obvious.

Maybe he's that Manchester Black guy that Superman had to fight once?
