And you know who takes justice seriously? Superheroes. And when it comes to superheroes, Marvel & DC kind of own that shit. You will lose this argument. Was it worth it?

If Marvel & DC can set aside their competition and actually agree on something, it means they’re probably right. That’s just a life lesson, ya’ll. That, and don’t get between a person and their milkshake.
