Spoilers for Batman - Superman: World's Finest #26!

Abra Kadabra -- though interestingly he's always called just "Kadabra" in this issue -- has got a fifth-dimensional imp buddy to give him real magic, and he's using it to wreak havoc on the Flash and Central City. Fortunately Superman's got Bat-Mite helping him, which shields him against magic and then sends Kadabra back to his own time when he (Bat-Mite) feels like it. The evil mastermind sending the villainous imps is still making new ones to challenge Earth's heroes, and I don't recognize him but truthfully I don't know a lot about DC's fifth-dimensional lore.

Either way, it's nice to see Kadabra again, even if he wasn't much of a threat against Superman and Bat-Mite combined…which really isn't a fair fight, even with an imp of his own. Presumably he'll lose his magic now that his pal has abandoned him, but it could be a permanent or semi-permanent power-up if the writers feel like sticking with it. It seems like Waid's the only writer who remembers him though, so maybe he'll go unused until Waid gets the opportunity to use him again. But hopefully it'll be sooner than that..!

Mark Mardon has to deal with Josh's teenaged rebellion.

This story is set in a nebulous future AU, and also features Star and Nathaniel Dillon, two adorable OCs of @gorogues.

An excellent story about a father and son relationship, and well worth reading!

(And I'm thrilled to see the kids here :D )

LEGO DC Super-Villains Is actually Really Good, and you should play it if you can!

Let's get something out of the way, first: I am a fan of Scarecrow, Riddler, Cap. Cold, Reverse Flash, and Mirror Master, specifically Evan McCulloch. That last bit will be important later.

I have played probably an accumulated 4-5 hours of this game, and I hop off of stream stupidly happy every time. I have done 2 separate streams, but already I believe this is game of the year potential for DC fans.

There are plenty of returning voice actors from older projects regarding the same character. Jeffrey Combs returns as Scarecrow once again, as does Wally Wingert as The Riddler, and C. Thomas Howell as Reverse Flash. The design, powers, and characterization of all the characters are so on-point, fun, and great to play as. The graphics are great, the game runs smoothly, it has a solid and fun storyline so far, and it's just so much fun to play.

I audibly gasped when I heard Mirror Master's voice... Because it was Scottish. AKA the most forgotten Mirror Master, Evan McCulloch. As far as I know and can remember, Evan has not been in much, if any, media that isn't the comics, and even then he's a sight for sore eyes. A rarity. A unicorn.

This game is healing my inner child like you wouldn't believe. This game is cute and charming, and as I've mentioned before, it's just plain fun. The roster is vast, and there's free play and free roam. You can make your own villain, give them whatever powers you want right from the get-go, and you earn more along the way. The main character is mentioned in a gender-neutral fashion, using They/Them pronouns, but I may have done something in my character creation to get this, I'm not sure.

There have been so many cute and funny moments, I adore the characterizations of all of my favorites and the other characters around them, and I'm normally a person who gets disappointed with the characterization of these characters. For example, Riddler in Arkham Knight, as well as Scarecrow, and Eobard Thawne in The Flash show, plus the absolute lack of representation for Evan McCulloch's Mirror Master in the first place.

@gorogues @jonathan-cranes-mistress-of-fear you NEED to boost this game!! As a rogues fan, both of Gotham and Central City, this game has been such a boon to the fandom, and frankly it's sleeping on it. I'm hoping you'll join me in sparking a love for this game. This game feels like such a labor of love and a love letter to all the DC villain fans. Even heroes like Batman, Nightwing, and The Flash, still are playable and make an appearance!

Glad you're enjoying it! To be clear for anyone else reading this, the game's from 2018 so it's not new (unless there's another recent game I'm not aware of), but that doesn't mean it's not fun to play!

I think so! It takes a special sort of pride to tattoo it on himself :>

purplecyborgnewt replied to your text post: 1 - is this supposed to be Eobard or Hunter? (Some fusion? secret child because-magical-science?); 2 - I feel like Hartley’s facial expression is him reacting to Axel nearby.

Your guess is as good as mine, though I suspect it's the result of DC blurring the lines between them, as I've been complaining about for years (see also: James and Axel). It's easy for fans to make mistakes or get confused when even canonical sources are unclear.

Hartley: If that kid doesn't stop going on about memes or whatever, he's going to experience a brown note.

kaliesuriens replied to your ask post: I am strugling right because my tumbler dont notified me that you answer my question ;-;

I'm sorry to hear that! I didn't get some notifications for hours either this week, so I think the site's having troubles :\ Hopefully I'm not missing even more notifications I don't know about.
