That cape is a serious fashion statement.

I mean, it is a pretty sweet cape. And it is quite swirly in this particular shot. But I’m not sure that Batman is famous for his cape.

I think he’s a little more famous for beating the crap out of dangerous psychotics on the streets of Gotham.

But maybe that’s just me.

(And what is going on with that background? Batman’s foot is under it and it kind of looks like a backdrop that is tearing? Is Bruce actually just about to fall flat on his face but he’s just keeping his, “I’m Batman” face on instead of his, “Oh Christ, this is going to hurt” face?)

Batman, I can’t even…what.

Well no shit the giant’s eyed you, Robin. You’re climbing up the bridge of his nose. With grappling ropes.

I don’t know what circumstances led you guys to this being the most effective way to solve whatever mystery you’re trying to solve, but I’m pretty sure that the best way to avoid being detected by a giant would be to not scale his face like it was Mount Rushmore.

The neverending quest for Bruce’s love continues.

As it always will.

Well, Robin, I hate to break it to you, but that is inevitably what Batman will expect from you.

Because he always expects too much from you.

On the bright side, every Robin to serve after you will be held up to some idyllic standard based on what Bruce thinks he remembers about you?

But that’s not really going to help you now.

Who is Bruce Wayne, really?

Dick! Stop reinforcing Bruce’s crazy. You know how hard Alfred works to get Bruce to try to be Bruce a little more often.

Telling him that he’s really Batman is good for no one. Probably not even Gotham!

Train jumping — it’s the newest craze.

The last time we had a Bat Family twofer definition was pretty memorable. Does Batgirl and Batman’s engine/engineer live up to Robin and Batman’s basket/basketball?

Wait wait wait. “Engineers like him”? Why does Barbara need to watch out for Batman? I don’t understand. And why is Babs all about jumping on engines? That is just another confusing part.

But let’s not forget the most confusing part:

Why is that Batman HUGE. Or is he just stuck in a tiny train? We’ll never know! Just like we’ll never know where the hell those train tracks are! Because that is a derailed train if I ever saw one.

So ends another page of The Super Dictionary. The most ridiculous yet? I can’t quite be sure.

Tune in next time for more shenanigans from your favorite heroes! What’s up next? Will we ever see the “bad things” Lex does to Superman? Will we ever find out why Batgirl is invading this train or why Batman is driving it? Probably not!

Check out under the cut for today’s full page!

You’re so tricksy, Joker!

Joker, you look like their kindly old uncle waiting to play a prank rather than the hideous, terrifying mass-murderer that you are.

What’s up with that?

Also, if you’ve been there since sometime last night, Batman and Robin have probably been looking for you, and they probably know you’re behind that…log. Batman’s totally just going over the plan to ambush you, Joker.

This folly lies squarely on your shoulders, Batman.

I know you just want to impress Batman, Robin, but there are probably better ways to get his attention than crashing the Batmobile.

And Batman, how could you overlook something so simple as the fact that Robin can’t actually drive. Because now you’re not getting your quiet drive. You’re getting a busted Batmobile.

(Look at that thing. I mean, Robin probably dented the bumper running it off that bridge, but how is it curved like that? And what are you guys doing? Preparing to eject?)

Wonder Girl is playing “take over the earth” with her dolls.

She just knocked out Supergirl.

I’m really surprised that Hippolyta let Diana have dolls of men.

I’m more surprised that she somehow has dolls of people who aren’t even heroes yet.

I’m most surprised that the Atom isn’t featured in this collection of dolls. After all, he’s been doll sized twice now!

Hmm…maybe The Super Dictionary should have specified that a “doll” is a toy that resembles a human. Because just calling it a “toy” puts it in the running to be a synonym for a toy truck. And that’s awkward.

(Supergirl Costume Tally: 8! Finally! But only because of what must be a coloring error because otherwise, Supergirl, when did you think spray-tanning your legs would be a good idea. Oh, and her shirt sleeves are shorter and she seems to be missing the deep V-neck of her 1970s costume.)

That is a disproportionate amount of dirt.

What was a dirty trick, Batman? Did Selina lure you in with a promise of a kiss and then fling dirt in your face like a tramp in the schoolyard?

Because that’s what it looks like.

And you should know better.

(Also, Selina apparently has quite the arm, flinging that much dirt so hard that she knocked Bruce over.)

The walk of shame.

Batman’s not going to be happy about that, Robin.

I hope you’re walking that bike home. Clearly you can’t be trusted with it. I mean, it doesn’t even have any mirrors. Unless you knocked them off getting that dent.

I’m very disappointed in you, young man.
