Man of Steel is probably the best I can come up with.

Starfire and Indigo's excellent Adventure.
I don't even know what it would be about, but I think it would be fun. Two alien red headed Flying Fire Power girls just getting into wacky shenanigans.
One's an alien Princess with no nudity taboo (who may speak overly formerly and hasn't mastered human languages yet), and the other is a alien android from the future who also sucks at understanding humanity. Together, They Fight Crime!...among other things.
So, should I be praised, or beaten? Be honest.

Fair enough.
Might fold it into that DC Exiles type story I've been toying with for a while.
I found myself altering the line-up yet again.

Speaking of Starfire, I've been asking on both the Justice League vs. Teen Titans thread and the main Dc Comics universe thread if anyone has any idea how strong she is physically.
I know she's not quite on the same level as a Kryptonian, any of the Wonder family, or even the Shazam MARVEL Family, but I'm not clear just how far under them she is. What kind of feats could we expect out of her in terms of strength?
While I'm at it, I'll ask another question I asked on the DC thread as well: (this one is only semi serious) If she's meets someone who knows multiple languages, does she just kiss them once and learn all that they know, or does she need to keep kissing them for each one(and yeah, I know choosing to kiss is a pure personal choice on her part, but work with me here)?
One more question: I might really see about using Indigo, so I'd like to know a little bit more about her: I know the basics : Came from the future to kill Donna Troy (though she may or may not have known it when she first showed up), used a Rogue Superman robot to take out her and Lilith, became part of a new incarnation of the Outsiders led by Nightwing and Arsenal, fell in lover with Metamorpho's missing body chunk, who became known as Shift, and then later revealed herself as Brainiac 8 and fucked shit up.
I know she was powerful enough while injured to wreck both the Titans and Young Justice, and I know her basic power set of Flight Energy blasts from her hands and (According to one wiki I looked at) Eye Beams as well. There's also Force field, the ability to interface with any machine, an analytical computer mind and of course... Super-Strength and durability.
I'm still looking for anything else interesting about her. Since the Outsiders have no character page for their wiki, it's hard to learn anything about her.
Thank Supergirl for my sudden interest.

Well, that's interesting.
Not sure how Green Lantern fares in the marvel power scale, but it'll be interesting.
And Flash is gonna be Spiderman then. I remember there was a What If? story about this (with two other people all becoming Spiderman in different version of the story, and Peter being a confidante to each of them). I know Flash and Betty Brant were two of them, but I can't remember the third one.

So, since I still felt like it, I kept trying to think of a team for that DC style Exiles story I wanted to do.
I finally came up with a good team. The premise has changed a lot from my original idea.
Basically, the characters will be mostly based on specific versions of themselves, but will draw from all media incarnations in a sort of Adaptation Distillation type scenario.
I went with:
- Jaime Reyes Looks like his Batman The Brave And The Bold self while in the suit, but has the mohawk of his Justice League Vs Teen Titans self. Weapons used by him in the suit will draw from the latter two, along with Young Justice self.
- Starfire. She's basically her animated self in appearance, but the same age she's portrayed as in the comics, and the energy contrail from her hair is kept (I think that's a pretty cool effect).
- Zatanna. Not too much to say about her. She's an adult like she should be.
- Elastigirl. I like her power so she's in. Costume looks like the Teen Titans version but without sleeves like her comic book version
- Dubbilex. This guys a bit of a wild card. I choose him for his Telekenesis and Telepathy (though I believe he only uses the latter in the Young Justice series).
- John Diggle, in his Spartan person. Yeah. Dig's not really a superhero, and some might not care for Arrow, but every team needs it's Bad Ass Normal, and I felt he was different from The obvious choices as well.
This is the initial line up, with two more members joining later. These two will be:
- Indigo Coluan Android from the future. The Brainiac 8 situation will be dealt with. Ultimately, I'm hoping to give her a better ending than the comics. I said I wanted to see her as a hero again, and here we go.
- The final slot is both filled and not filled. Basically, someone with the Hero dial, making for a perfect wild card type member. I haven't decided what wielder I'm going to use though. Robby Reed is likely, but I'm thinking since the concept is alternate universe versions of different characters, I don't have to have it specifically belong to Robby or any of the previous users. Since I want an equal number of males and females, it will be a guy, but I just have to decide who exactly.
So that's it. I keep coming back to this. Maybe one day, it'll get off the ground.

I have weird ideas. What would a cross between Killer Croc and a phantom zone criminal look like? What would happen to Batman if he came across said horrible combination? I'd just have Superman save him before he possibly gets eaten.
On a different note, how best can I get Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne kidnapped together for a Bruce Wayne Held Hostage scenario?
Dick Grayson gasped in horror, watching how his parents fell from the damaged trapeze.
Bruce Wayne tightened his fists in impotence as he could do nothing but see the bodies hit the ground.
The audience fell into mute shock over the next few moments, and for an instant, not even a single breathing could be heard...
Then one of the men in the public shouted, "Hey! They weren't Flying Graysons after all! We were gypped! Refund! Refund!"
"REFUND! REFUND! REFUND!" the crowd began chanting angrily.
Sometimes Bruce wondered why he kept on protecting that city.

"And then... I threw a rock at him!" Croc finally said.
Joker, Penguin, Dent and Ivy simply stared, unamused, at him.
"It was a big rock!" Croc protested.
They kept on staring.
"Oh, yeah?!" Croc slammed his hands on the table. "Well, let me ask ya wiseguys, who's the stupidest? The guy who throws a giant rock that happens to miss, but woulda killed the guy had it hit, or the guys who actually hit the guy, leave him unconscious, and then don't bother unmaskin' him or, ya know, shootin' him, but they place 'im in a stupid elaborate deathtrap so he can escape and kick their asses?! C'mon, I'm sure ya can answer that, 'cause you're so much smarter than me, the guy who's dumb enough as to just rip the damn guy apart an' eat 'im instead of messin' around puttin' him in a fuckin' homemade trap!"
Penguin, Dent and Ivy stared down, ashamed.
Joker threw his hands up. "You don't know how to live!"
Leader of the Holey Brotherhood
That is so totally accurate.
I think if the actual Croc had been there, that's what he would have said.
I especially like Joker's answer, because he's really the one who cares the least about Batman's identity, so he really does have a good excuse.

Trying something out that I mentioned in the DC thread a little while ago. I hope the Amazonian names are acceptable. I got them from a generator. >.>
He had come down from the sky in a ball of fire, his strange crystalline craft buried deep in the wet sand of the coast, barely landing on the island. The dark haired, blue eyed infant had been found by Nellene and Clesose, who had brought him straight to Hippolyta. The child's craft was beyond even the technology of Paradise Island.
"Why is he even here?" one of the Amazons demanded, "No man may set foot on Themyscira! If he is allowed to live he will bring the taint of Man's World to this place! He must die before he brings ruin onto the Island!" Many sisters gave up a cheer in response while Nellene and Clesose looked horrified.
"You cannot do so, your Majesty," Clesose begged with the babe in her arms, shouting to be heard over those who cried blood, "He is a babe! An innocent! He is not from Man's World! He came from the sky! The gods sent him to us!" She was shouted down by the angry mob and Nellene put an arm around her lover.
"Oh, yes," another Amazon shot back, "Like how Heracles was "sent" to us?!"
"You're mad!" Nellene snapped with fire in here eyes. "Are we Spartans, that we would now kill children?" Some of the sisters cried out in the negative, rallying now to their side as Nellene turned to Hippolyta upon her throne. "My Queen," she said, "What better way to show the better teachings of Themyscira than to raise him among us, so that he might one day show Man's World how our ways made him better?"
There was more shouting and arguing until Hippolyta raised a hand and all at once fell silent. The queen of the Amazons, with her daughter Diana sitting on her lap, looked down at the babe and thought.
"It is clear," she said finally, "That the Fates sent this boy to Themyscira for a reason. He might have landed anywhere in Man's World and yet he came to us. There must be a reason. If we were to cast him out or kill him, we would deprive ourselves and this boy of what that reason might be. He shall live, and he shall stay. Nellene, Clesose, I leave him in your care." The couple bowed appreciatively and quickly left the throne room as the rest of the assembly descended into grumbles and cheers. Nellene smiled as she looked down at the babe, who smiled back obliviously, not knowing how close he might have been to death.
"What shall we call him?" Nellene asked. Clesose smiled and reached a finger down to tickle the babe's cheeks. He reached up with a tiny hand and gripped her finger. She was shocked by the strength in such a small grasp.
"I thought we might call him.. Perseus."

My various fanfics.
PANEL ONE.
Arkham Asylum- Dinning Area. BLACK MASK and Mr. ZSASZ are sitting at a table, facing each other over lunch.
ZSASZ (Grinning perversely): ... and then, I cut myself to celebrate it. One scar for each of them. I have marked each of my murders that way!
BLACK MASK (Clearly unimpressed): Uh-huh.
PANEL TWO.
BLACK MASK (Still clearly unimpressed): So let me get this straight. You go around killing perfect strangers and then cut yourself right after each murder, right?
ZSASZ (Still grinning perversely): Of course!
BLACK MASK (Still clearly unimpressed): And every time, you do this with the same knife you've used on the victim?
ZSASZ (Still grinning perversely): Naturally! Otherwise, what is the point?
PANEL THREE.
BLACK MASK (Still clearly unimpressed): Okay, and what about the HIV then?
ZSASZ (Suddenly silent, eyes bulging).
PANEL FOUR.
Inside of ZSASZ's Cell (or steel box into a steel cage, whatever).
ZSASZ is sitting at a corner, all silent, wild-eyed, huddled tightly while hugging his knees and shaking violently.

... Why didn't anyone think of that before?
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.
They might think Zsasz isn't interested in little things like "hygiene" or "blood-transmited pathogen".
The Cosmopolitan Fictioneer
Except that I'd expect him to not want to die too soon, because... you know, he wants to kill as many people as he can.
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.
That and he IS nuts. 
So I'm looking for designs of General Zod for the sake of a reference that don't scream "EVIL. SO EVIL. DON'T TRUST HIM HE'S EVIL." And the best I've been able to hope for so far is "neutral." Anyone else seen anything good?
