Friday Night Fights--Batman Has Plastic Powers?!? Style!!

Sometimes on Friday Night Fights, things aren't quite what they seem. For example:

Wait..what?!?!

Wait....WHAT?!?!?!?!?

OK, you see, Batman found Plastic Man living as a hobo (doubtless taking turns with hobo Namor!). And, because Bruce Wayne has to out of town for a couple of weeks, he gets Plas to pose as Batman, so crime won't run rampant. But then Plas gets himself brainwashed by a femme fatale, so know he believes he really IS Batman, and he frames Bruce Wayne for murder and arrests him, all so the femme (Ruby Ryder, by name) can win an auction for for a stolen sacred statue (which Bruce wants to buy and return to its native African tribe) and then Metamorpho...

Deep breath, snell...deep breath...trying to summarize a Bob Haney script is going to give you a mental hernia.

Anyway, that kinda sorta catches you up, Not let's get back to brainwashed Batman-Plastic Man fighting Metamorpho:





Sadly, that's where Plastic Man's brainwashing wears off...because, man, I could have you 200 pages of that kinda fight...

Spacebooger thinks we need more hobo versions of superheroes...

Bob Haney and Jim Aparo never let logic get in the way of an awesome fight in Brave And The Bold #123 (1975)

Now is the time for you to go and vote for my fight. Why? BECAUSE IT'S FREAKING AWESOME, THAT'S WHY!!!  Now go and vote!!

The '60s had Hobo Namor, the 70's had Hobo Plastic Man, the '80s had Hobo Tony Stark and the '90s had Hobo D-Man.

That's almost enough for a League of Extraordinary Hobos.
