Batman/Superman, Volume 2: Game Over by Greg Pak
2.0
It's weird how many stories of "it's a video game, but the game turned real!" or "the TV show turned real!" or whatever have moved from golden tickets and weird tech and have just decided to go "I don't know how this is happening."
It's weird for me to complain about, too, because I'm usually Mr. You Don't Have To Explain Everything.
But...when the idea is that somehow Batman is being controlled by gamers, and then he dies, and the gamers bring him back to life, and then Superman also has gamer power or something? I think I need some mechanism or something, just some bullshit, to explain it, you know?
The problem is this: You can do weird shit in space or at the core of the planet or with Green Lantern rings or whatever because I've never seen or touched those things. But I HAVE seen TV and played video games. MANY times. And so it's familiar, and because it's something familiar, you have to sort of explain it.
I mean, I could do some backwards masking bullshit where there's a hidden signal or something in a video game? Or like nanobots or whatever. But the thing just sort of happening for no apparent reason? Eh?
Let's put this another way: I've seen pornographics. And I have never, not once, found myself in a situation where they are becoming real. Oh no. What will I do?
