I thought it was perhaps a little focusing mantra Bullseye uses to calm himself in a fight. I haven't read anything with Bullseye before, I knew he was a psycho, but thought because he was also and awesome martial artist he might have been classically trained by a master somewhere and learnt those kind of mantras.
Preferred that to it being a line from a song, but oh well.
bullseye's whole deal is kind of that he's a fucking psycho who wouldn't have any kind of patience for classical training at all, which is why it's weird that he'd say anything more obscure than a "surf's up, pal!" type quip when killin'.
His origin consists of him being a major league pitcher that killed a batter in the bottom of the 9th because he was bored and you think its weird he has horrible quips?
Note to self: Avoid Vermis and his terrible, awful, no good, very bad opinions.
You wouldn't be the first, but you'd still be wrong.
But c'mon. "Black don't crack." - Ahahahahaha! Ha.
"Nngh... Ughh... Guuuuuh... Gotta tell Alfred to bake more of those bran muffins."
"Uhhuhduhh... it am Batman! Huh huh huh huh! Me show him newly installed lighting - raise value of mouth a lot."
WHAT. Thighs that KFC would kill for, shoulder blades (or lats, or something) that stick out the best part of a foot behind his ribcage, a right arm that looks like it attaches above the right shoulder, etc. etc. I mean, is Liefeld once more spreading his malign influence across the comic world from his dark fortress in Californior? This wouldn't look out of place in that Progressive Boink article.
Yeah, I'm not seeing it, but then I've always liked Jamal Igle's stuff. He's timely, renders figures well, and knows how to tell a clear, understandable story. That Batman's admittedly goofy looking, but it's due more to the fact that he's about a head and a half too short more so than anything else. I get the feeling that you'd be the type to criticize Kevin Maguire's art, because he actually makes characters' faces wrinkle up and contort when they're making expressions.
But by all means, continue ignoring a series that was canceled a few years ago. It shouldn't be hard!
Anyway.

SInce I was getting some comics ready to sell, I thought I would scan in a fun scene from Justice League America #34, with a great Adam Hughes cover (not as good as #37's was that I posted earlier, but still good):
Basically Beetle and Booster open up a JLA themed casino on an island and Major Disaster and Big Sir play Rainman and count cards to ruin Blue & Gold's investment, and Aquaman is there as well:
One of us doesn't, at any rate. ;-) And one of us is defending that twisted scrawl. That ought to narrow it down a bit.
Since you're struggling, I guess I could break down the worst example a bit more objectively.
A. Where is Batman's shoulder?
B. What does this line represent and exactly where is it going?
C. Who inserted balloons in Batman's thighs?
Why does the overall effect look like Batman's just been stabbed in the buttocks?
I'm some noob you don't know from Adam, but trust me, I know at least a bit about drawing and this is bad drawing. I'm not invoking Rob Liefeld just because of his infamy - I honestly think this is similar to Liefeld's own bad grasp of anatomy.
And the expressions suck too.
Why are blue beetle and booster wearing their costumes in that casino? Wouldn't they, I dunno, wear suits and look professional or something?
Stuff like that always bothers me. Heroes are always wearing their costumes at inappropriate times. Team meetings, birthday parties, weddings, funerals

Well, in the case of funerals, I'm pretty sure its an established part of DC that they hold two funerals for heroes. One with their public identity, and one for the super-hero community. Its usually the super-hero funerals that they show in comics. And I would imagine that its a lot more like a military service. They wear their uniform out of honor.
You gotta remember, just because most super-hero costumes are tights and spandex to the readers, and perhaps a bit tacky, within the comic universe they are a symbol of pride and meaning.

I guess superheroes wear their costumes a lot because they like being heroes. The heroic side of them, represented by their costume, is the side they are proud of, the side that fearlessly protects the innocent etc, rather than their normal self who is just a guy, and I think a lot of heroes would rather remember that they showed that better side of themselves while at important events of their life than their fallable, human side.
Besides, lot's of heroes only know each other in a superheroic sense, though they might by long time allies, and there is always the desire to protect the secret identity, though the idea of the secret identity has fallen away in comics these days.
If you look at it as a uniform instead of a costume, it makes sense that characters would wear them to formal events (like a military uniform can be worn instead of a tux, etc).

That's true.
I was just talking to a friend about wearing a costume to your wedding, and he made an interesting point. The part of themselves that many heroes are most proud of is that they are a superhero and that they do try to help others without looking for fame or money or anything like that, just because it's the right thing to do. If that was the case, then you would be proud of the costume you wear and might consider wearing it to your wedding, because it represents the very best of who you are.

Batman's got big quads and lats/traps. That's hardly Liefeld level anatomy there. And besides, Liefeld is the best, so there is nothing wrong with taking art in that direction.
So how about those awesome panels and pages, guys?

in this issue, the Dinobots call in reinforcements from the Monsterbots, to fight an organization that has humans piloting Transformer sized mechs. The Monsterbots help by eating the opposition.

I agree with the previous poster; That was some pretty bad art re: Batman.

Terrible. What's up with Batman's legs?
KVW: that's one of his stories, anyway.

The dialogue and such wasn't bad and it was funny at times but there seems to be kind of a disconnect between the art and the characters at times.

I just like that outfit because it is more gold than blue(ster).
He can't be serious.

Agreed. I like how the headpiece flows into the shoulder and chest area of the costume, and the black stripes down the legs.
I think he actually kept that costume right up until Countdown to Infinite Crisis, though I could be wrong.
