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.
