More comic book gags that never get old:

• Ghost Rider using his ability to turn any vehicle into a flame-spewing hell-ride on something incongruous
   
  
• John Constantine’s sexual history becoming relevant in very unlikely contexts
   
  
• The Flash’s villains acting like a congenial social club for middle-aged men who happen to enjoy dressing up in brightly coloured spandex and robbing banks
   
  
• Hawkeye just happening to have a trick arrow with an implausibly specific function
   
  
• Swamp Thing acting like a 1980s Vertigo Comics character in more contemporary titles and the other characters never being 100% sure how to react
   
  
• Batman straight-facing something objectively absurd
  

Everybody’s gangster til Ye Olde Phantom Cyclist pulls up on a flaming penny farthing.

FUCK I THOUGHT THIS WAS A JOKE BUT

The thing you’ve got to recognise is that, in spite of its numerous flaws, the 2007 Nicholas Cage movie is the closest any screen adaptation has ever come to adequately capturing how deeply weird this character is.
