It's no bad thing that we all dance to slightly different beats.

Diversity and inclusion in action

I thought Superman starred in Action.

Isn't Superman a champion of diversity and inclusion?

I think they stopped that when he was dangling crooked politicians by their ankles over great heights.

In many of his very, very early appearances he certainly didn't seem to care about the lives of those he was fighting.

The early Superman is probably one of the most interesting versions for me. Its as much for what's not on the page as for the frustrated power fantasies we get. We have a character with immense power. He wants to "do the right thing" But what does that mean, and how many laws is he willing to break to achieve it? Forcing a confession from a politician breaks a number of laws. But is it for the greater good of the society he's living in? Was it effective, or did the politician escape justice due to the forced nature of his information? Is it permissible for a vigilante to take the law into his own hands? Will his decisions always be for the benefit of the majority of citizens?

On the other hand, let's bring on Doomsday for an issue full of splash panel beatings!

That's the problem with Batman being an agent of the Gotham City Police. Most of the criminals he catches would be released due to the illegal means he obtains evidence.

Alas, technicalities.

I was reading about the technical difficulties faced by various rocket programmes and the innovative ways that they countered those issues. Computer modelling must save them loads of effort these days. But does that have a negative effect on coming up with quick, innovative solutions?

That’s why I believe machines and automation will not fully replace humans in the near future. They can’t substitute for human creativity

Nor can they substitute for human stupidity.

Which is why the machines will have brains kept in jars, to provide them with that human element.

So that's what Ultra-Humanite was doing with all those jars!

Actually the Ultra-Humanite was into home preserves. It was a welcome distraction from the stresses of world conquest.

I went to his laboratory of evil and he said what a pickle I'd found myself in. I feared the worst, but it was a lovely afternoon discussing the seasons, beetroot and bottling.

I hope you’re not in the pickle while someone bites into it

I beleive that the Ultra-Humante was responsible for that shortage of Mason jars back in ought 2

James Mason had a long and distiguished acting career, able to play lead protagonists and antagonists just as impressivly.

The Perry Mason novels were my favorite.

Perry Como was not part of the Rat Pack

I've seen many rats around Paris.

I've seen mice running on the tracks of the Boston Subway. One woman cried out "Look at the rats!"

I’d rather have mice than cockroaches

In Hairspray, Tracy Turnblad's created the dance "The Roach"
