Downsides of living in the DCU

Years ago, I did a "downsides of living" in various anime series

While casting around for an idea to post about tonight, I thought this might be worth a small chuckle or two.

So, without further ado, the downsides of living in the DCU


1. No Steroid Controversies in baseball. You think that's an upside? It would be, except it's been replaced by "Is that pitcher a metahuman?"

2. Wal Mart fashions inspired by the latest Superhero outfit crazes.

3. Replacing the windows in your house at least once a year after they get shatted by sonic booms created by Superman, one of the Flashes or the like.

4. Flashbacks to when you caught a "Joker Fish" on vacation.

5. Whenever the Weather Wizard is out of jail, forecasts are "20% chance of sun, 20% chance of rain, 20% chance of snow, 20% chance of sandstorm and 20% chance of absolute chaos"

6. Trouble getting into the mall because Booster Gold is selling autographs ($5 a pop)

7. Endless debates on alt.fan.superbabes "Power Girl or Wonder Woman"

8. Watching a giant gorilla carry a brain in a jar into the house next door.

9. Mysterious lightning bolts in Fawcett City blowing up your computer system... again.

10. Wondering why a mad scientist can easily whip up a device that will vaporize half of Australia, but no one can make a faucet that doesn't drip after a few months.
