Comic book writer Lilah Sturges wrote a lengthy thread pointing out a lot of the stupid things that make up the DC universe. In DC's defense, it's probably hard to write stories about the same characters for decades and decades without making a key part of their character laughably dumb.

Jeff Wysaski of Obvious Plant makes weird and hilarious absurdist parody products. There's a good chance you've seen some images of them floating around the internet. Here are some that made us quake with laughter.
The similarities between Batman and The Accountant are alarmingly UNCANNY. Naturally, the ever thoughtful and introspective John Mayer seized the moment to float a surprisingly logical conspiracy theory about The Accountant being some sort of Batman origin story. Somehow, it kind of adds up....
How could we have missed this the first time! Maybe Harvey Dent was just running a little bit slow from the unworldly amount of pain he seemed hellbent on subjecting himself to. I mean, the dude did just have half his face fried off; but screw Advil right?
Up in the sky! It’s Bird! It’s a plane! It’s, oh, Donald Trump.
The Tumblr “The Unquotable Trump” is in the repurposing Trump game. While people like Mark Hamill have had their comic book fun reading quotes of that reality-TV gameshow host who won the presidency last year, this Tumblr sees Trump in the funny pages.
In “The Unquotable Trump,” Artist R. Sikoryak takes things that Trump actually says and recreates some classic Wonder Woman, Black Panther, and Captain America covers with Trump getting in the mix. These re-imaginings of classic comics are amazing. ‘Nuff said. Check ‘em out.

Last year, Ben Affleck was in a little movie called Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, a real film that makes absolutely no sense at any point ever. But out of misery comes joy in the form of a great meme: Sad Affleck.
Ben Affleck says that he’s learned a lot from working on a movie of that size and scope and with that kind of money and technology behind it. But more than anything, he learned not to stare off into the distance during interviews. Why? Because that’s how memes are born.
In this interview with BBC, Affleck responds to the “Sad Affleck” sensation:
“It taught me not to do interviews with Henry Cavill where I don’t say anything and they can lay Simon & Garfunkel tracks over it. That’s one thing I learned.”
From Sad Affleck to Smart Affleck.
Check out the clip above and some sad Affleck below.
"You just made the biggest mistake of your career, what are you gonna do next?"
"I’m going to... stay off the Internet!"
I imagine that’s what New York Giants running back Bobby Rainey is saying tonight after his game against the Packers. During a kickoff, Rainey caught a ball that was clearly going out of bounds.
As the announcer said, “That was a mistake.”
Not only doesn't Rainey have his team, coach, and self to answer to, but Twitter is destroying him right now. Nothing’s out of bounds. Check it out:
So we're just done with phrasing right? That's not a thing anymore?
Sometimes when it comes to comics, context and phrasing are really important. Here's some situations where a lack of context makes for some hilariously inappropriate moments.
