That should say 'him'.
I swear, if this is like 'Why is a Raven like a Writing Desk?' you will be getting such a pinch, see if you don't. And if you're just out to get your ego stroked, OL is not the man to perform that task, no matter what you might have heard about his tastes.
Batman has been dealing with you for years, and knows you inside out. He barely has to think about the wording of a riddle to comprehend it,
And once again, prophecies that are deliberately vague prove annoying as well. On the other hand, you could have had something like the Belgariad's Prophecies, which laid out everything the heroes and villains needed, merely garbled by having been filtered through the mind of a madman.
More often than not, they only realised something was pertinent as it was needed...An actual person, by the way. An amusing detail: He was said to have been the inspiration for the Mad Hatter in Lewis Carrol's stories. And who else is a Batman villain?
And OL doesn't really care about that. Which is probably what's getting under Eddie's skin.
OL by himself is not all that smarter than the average person. It's why his go-to action when presented with a problem is 'call a smarter friend.'
Sounds like a rather non-imal conundrum.
Well, at least he can trade jokes and barbs like a pro.
...Oh, that's where you're going with this, is it, Eddie? For god's sake, if you want your ego stroked...
...I'm sure you can stroke yourself just fine.
Sounds a little irrational.
The pinch option is still on the table, Question-Mark Man.
I don't think that's the point, Eddie.
His assumptions just tend to be a little more... Out there, than others.
I suppose there's always one in every class...
And I'm sure they were very fascinating.
He is what he is, and he seems happy enough with it. Trying to nudge him off a self-destructive path, perhaps?
In other words, why are you the way you are, and why do you keep being that way even when you've had so many opportunities to not be that way? I'm reminded of that Spider-man meme, with the pterodactyl man who could have cured cancer with his research... But would rather turn people into dinosaur men.
And it's no fun if no-one around you isn't acknowledging that you're the smartest guy in the room, huh?
Because of course it comes down to "I want to prove I;m smarter then the Man Dressed Like A Bat.'
Which probably explains why you're trying so hard to not work on it.
And yet you can't stop thinking that, can you?
Ah, and there we have the whole point of this little discussion. "Boo-hoo, you bruised my ego. Now bark for me, doggie, or I won't help you save the world."
He's become a full on Greenie. In the beginning Paul questioned why the Lanterns never did "insert every idea Paul came up with or borrowed from Prime Earth" but now coming up with different ways of doing things is difficult because using the ring to do it is easy. To paraphrase the words of a certain ghost Paul is now "A very strong and scary person with a spoon, capable of spooning harder and faster than anyone else".
That and he's running around in the body of someone around the age of 16-19 when was the last time you saw someone that young make an intelligent decision constantly
Thank you, corrected.
Which is
Thank you, corrected.
His psychiatrist's real name in Harleen Quinzel.
With some of these prisoners, humiliation without retaliation is a sign of weakness and vulnerability, which might invite hostile action from those with petty grudges.
