Thanks for the constant support Kelson. Especially considering how silly I get sometimes.
Aw….aw…damn it. Now I despise the creators of the DC52 more than ever.

Yes, it’s true. If not for the DC52 we would likely have seen a crossover where there was a Batman Transformer robot and Optimus Prime was a Green Lantern.
I’m going to go crawl into a corner and weep now.

Oh, wow. That would have been awesome.
