This year with the Weekly Question has been an experiment. An experience that has yeilded some suggess (spelled wrong on purpose) but some people predicted it would be too easy to predict the finals. The other two brackets ended up surprising me, at the very least, but leave it to DC to keep things even. The finals of the DC bracket sees the number one seed, Batman take on the number five seed, Superman! Batman wins 16 to 5 And with all the Dark Knight 3 talk, I had to include one of my favorite, most inconic images of all time featuring these two: Perhaps you don’t want to contribute to the poll, that’s cool. You do your thing. You can tweet your choice. Just don’t forget the hashtag #LBHQuery so I can track them down easier and we’ll go from there! Just to keep track, here’s the current standings in the DC Bracket: Next week, it the finals of the indie bracket and I will do my best to make sure the fix isn’t...

This is not a surprising match up. These are two of the fabled DC Trinity, the other of which is already in the finals. Now, only one of these two, the number five seed Superman and the number seven seed, Wonder Woman, will compete to see who reigns supreme! Superman wins 7 to 5 Perhaps you don’t want to contribute to the poll, that’s cool. You do your thing. You can tweet your choice. Just don’t forget the hashtag #LBHQuery so I can track them down easier and we’ll go from there! Just to keep track, here’s the current standings in the DC Bracket: Next week, the second semi final indie match up where in I will in fact be able to find images of them together. Maybe almost as many as Superman and Wonder...

Do you know how difficult to find a picture of Superman’s butt? The answer is very. Pics of Dick Grayson, our number six seed, are a dime a dozen: Superman, our number five seed, has a much cleaner online footprint: Superman wins, 10 to 5 Perhaps you don’t want to contribute to the poll, that’s cool. You do your thing. You can tweet your choice. Just don’t forget the hashtag #LBHQuery so I can track them down easier and we’ll go from there!

posted by Joe
Three years ago, this match up would have never happened. While both characters are DC Comics properties, one was firmly in the main DCU, the other in the dark and dank world of Vertigo. Our next match up sees the number five seed, Superman do battle with the number thirteen seed, John Constantine: They never really had any knock down, drag out battles in the last three and a half years, but a lot of yelling at each other in last year’s Trinity War. Superman wins 15-11 Perhaps you don’t want to contribute to the poll, that’s cool. You do your thing. You can tweet your choice. Just don’t forget the hashtag #LBHQuery so I can track them down easier and we’ll go from there! Next week, one of the longest running (pun intended) comic book properties takes on a hugely successful character who has graced the silver screen and TV as...
