Superman . . . More Like Super Dick

I've stated before that Superman has a tendency to be a total dick sometimes. Sure, he may say it's a result of his exposure to Red Kryptonite, but I think he's just making that up.

There's even a website devoted to Superman's dickish nature, SuperDickery.com, where you can see not only the Man of Steel, but other superheroes indulging in all manner of dick moves. Of those heroes shown though, Superman is by far the most straight up dick superhero of the group. Many are the examples that can be seen on that sight.

An amazing thing happened recently though. The great animated show Batman: The Brave and the Bold decided to run an episode in which the Son of Krypton is exposed to Red Kryptonite for the first time. The result, of course, is Superman exposing his true dick nature to everyone in Metropolis . . . especially Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen. It's an amazing montage of classic golden age Superman moments. There are so many references thrown in there, it's the kind of thing that makes lifelong comics fans like myself get all giddy inside.

Oh, and just keep watching the clip for yet more comic homage greatness. I'm sure many of you will recognize the suit that Batman shows up wearing about halfway through the clip. It takes this episode, which was already at an awesomeness factor of 10, straight to 11.

That's right, I said it goes to 11.
