More ridiculous than a guy that jumps around in a latex suit calling himself Batman?

All fiction has to have it's own internal logic to make sense otherwise they could just make it up as they go along.

You can pretty much say that about any comic book character.

I have tried a few of the trades, it seems to be "hit or miss" on these books. JLI was a let down, Stormwatch was interesting and Animalman was cool. I just got in Batwoman, Mr. Terrific, Detective and some others. Thanks to everyone for the input. Any other input would be welcome
