Martin's Comments:
Not a whole lot to say on this one. Sure didn't take long to get everyone out of their pajamas and straight to the subject at hand though, huh?

Have to like that last panel. Everyone has something to say, except Lore who just seems too confused. Meanwhile Andy looks like he should be hosting a political commentary show.

Adam's Comments:
I was kinda iffy if I should do this or not. I knew a riddle from me would either be way too obvious or too impossible to guess. And on top of that likely very silly. But I kinda was partial to the idea and wanted to give it a shot. I'm one of those guys who really likes The Riddler.

But when The Riddler gets really bad material or is handed to a writer who can't do the gimmick well, I kinda facepalm. And so I had the kids facepalm along with me- that's probably the reaction I'd have if I did this.

I guess I'm not really crazy when comic books try to be silly and zany, the kind of stuff you'd see in The Silver Age. I kinda just like them having a decent tone of realism once you go along with the concept (Yes, guy dresses up like a Bat and fights crime, what's the guy like?).

That said, I hate gritty, deconstruct-everything stories in comics too for the same reason I hate the silly stuff. Making something so filled with misery it's overflowing is just as far-fetched as the Silver Age nonsense. Case in point, Mark Millar.

Huh. That got off topic, didn't it?

While Nicky gets milk, Val gets a glass of..."green". (I know, it's probably Kool-Aid or something, but hey. She's a Trekkie with a green drink. These things write themselves.)

Hmm... The target is the CEO of a manufacturing company, likely an automobile manufacturer. He's currently on a business trip to his outlying factories or dealers. After his conference, he plans on taking a break at a theater (stage or film is irrelevant). 2 o'clock will happen sometime while he is going between these places. The criminals plan to take him out at that time, unless the heroes can intervene. And the heroes aren't supposed to talk to the target at any point, or even let him know they're there.

"Things are not all as they seem" means I could be wrong.

That's my deduction, anyway. If I was Batman, I would've figured out plenty more information already, and my train of thought would make no logical sense whatsoever yet somehow still be exactly right. Batman has to slip into that when fighting the Riddler, it seems.

I like deconstructions. But there's a balance they need in order to work. There has to be just enough realism to show how something would work in reality, but it has to be just unreal enough to allow the premise in the first place. Too much gritty or too much wacky stretches that too far.
