Hey, tonight's the Super Bowl! If you don't care in the slightest, skip to the next paragraph. Hopefully after today I won't have to see any more sports stories about how much sportswriters hate not being able to cover the Super Bowl is sandals and Hawaiian shirts. They're being paid for this, yet they think people want to read (or hear) them bitch about how the game should only be held in places like Miami or Vegas, because snow is antithetical to the Super Bowl. Never mind we're talking about American football here, with it's history of Ice Bowls, frozen tundras, tough guys delivering big hits while steam billows off their heads. Nope, snow means the writers can't hit up restaurants and parties as easily as they like, so it's automatically bad, and ought to be outlawed. I'm not surprised when Peter King does it, since he'll devote football column space to complaining about the free coffee the hotel he's staying at not being satisfactory. I'm disappointed in Wilbon though, with all his talk about being from Chicago and how tough people there are, doing it as well. He's lived too long in Arizona, I suppose.
Not what I intended to post about, so let's get to the proper topic shall we? When Terry was fighting the Justice League in this week's Batman Beyond, Bruce (who was coaching from the Batcave), described Aquagirl as being Terry's greatest challenge, because she's the one he likes. After Terry opted to try and work with the JL, rather than fight them, Bruce admitted to his dog that Terry was right, but remarked it would have been fun to beat them again.
It's possible he was referring to the episodes of the series where first Superman, then the rest of the team, fell under Starro's control and Terry had to fend them off alone. Or he was referring to some time back when he was active where he beat down the Justice League of his time. So let's pursue that second possibility, for kicks. Do you think there's anyone Batman's ever worked with on the Justice League he would find difficult to fight because he liked them? It would have to be someone who wasn't a primary threat, because anyone that dangerous he'd take out early, before he could start worrying about how he felt about them. Which rules out anyone like Superman, Wonder Woman, or J'onn. He'd probably enjoy pummeling Hal, Guy, Hawkman, or Ollie, maybe Booster and Ted as well, if they'd been irritating him a lot that day. Maybe the Elongated Man?
Bruce is probably too serious about his work to have to worry about those sorts of personal feelings. If he'd decided the Justice League needed a beating, he'd set those feelings aside before he even started. Maybe you can think of someone.

Man, it's hard to think of ANYone that Bats wouldn't mind pummelling. Maybe Ice. I mean seriously, how could you go up and punch someone as sweet as Ice?
sallyp: I thought when I started I could think of someone, but I'm starting to think he's so mission focused there's no one he'd hesitate to deck if he felt he needed to.
