San Diego Chemistry Dept Lines: 23 I was reading the latest issue of World's Finest, (which I don't recommend), and a funny thought occurred to me. In this issue, Batman, and the mystery super hero (Sonik) were captured by the bad guys, and they (the bad guys) decided to off our heroes by dropping a bus on them. The thing was set in a garage, and the bus was up on one of those big mechanics lifts, and the bad guys set the thing to come down slowly on our poor helpless heroes. My question is Why, if none of these crooks have any compunctions about killing super heroes, do they *ALL* have to come up with clever ways of doing it. Don't you think that in the 40 some odd years of comic books, *SOME* crook would have just taken a shotgun or a .45 to *SOME* hero somewhere along the line. Chew on that for a while I am GINO
