I'm betting that ACME and Ace Chemicals are both run by the same company. It's about time that the Dark Knight and the Roadrunner's nemesis joined forces to put them out of business. I know it's a tale that I would get a kick out o reading.

oh Gods Above, this is a tale for the Ages,
ReplyDeleteprobably more anguish than Killing Joke,
more Dangerous than the Bain Saga,
and more Pathos than Death of Robin,
Another Plate of Joker Fish Folks….
As in, Sunset Bain? The mad "scientress" who was always after Machine Man?
DeleteACME's obviously another subsidiary of the Brand Corporation. We might need the Avengers' help on this one.
ReplyDeleteBrand was actually bought and assimilated by the Roxxon Oil Company. But, that was back when Hugh Jones was CEO. I wonder what would happen if Roxxon merged with Lexcorp?Imagine a sequel entitled: "Now Cometh...Lexxon!"
DeleteBut Roxxon doesn't have that same "obvious generic company name" thing going for it that ACME and Brand do. It's more of an "obvious parody of a real company" thing.
DeleteAh, yes! The Acme "Bat-Man" Suit. I remember that particular Roadrunner cartoon well: "You will believe a coyote can fly...for ten seconds." Nice job, Ross!
ReplyDeleteAnyone else think Wile E. Coyote is a product tester for Acme?
ReplyDeleteAs a certain speech-impaired porcine might reply: "More like a guinea p-p-p-p...a guinea p-p-p-p...a lab rat."
DeleteForbush Man and The Red Tornado (Ma Hunkel) haven't had an official Team-Up yet. And I think that needs to be changed.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I want to see Namor meet The Sea Devils. The Sea Devils were a good premise at DC, but I'd still take Namor's side. Humans invading his land deserve to be dealt with, considering what we've already done to his land.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought you meant the Sea Devils from Doctor Who; that would make an interesting meet up.
DeleteHey! That'd be a perfect way to bring them together. Teaming up against those Silurian sea lizards! DBT? You're a genius. :-)
DeleteExcellent deliberate mismatch Ross! But Batman is taking a horrible risk in giving the Coyote a helping hand. Wile E. is the living embodiment of Murphy's Law, and the Caped Crusader is just asking for trouble. Unless, as Anonymous and Carycomic pointed out, Batman may only be using the Coyote as cannon fodder, so that Wile E.'s bad luck will work against one of Batman's enemies. This cover really calls for a sequel.
ReplyDeleteah, but Coyote & Falcon might be more long lasting...by a few minutes😉
ReplyDeleteA team up idea I just had: Dick Tracy and The Green Hornet, maybe?
ReplyDeleteThe Green Hornet and the Crimson Avenger! Two colour themed, pulp style vigilantes with asian valets/sidekicks. The two have a lot in common, and they could probably balance s comic together.
ReplyDeleteHow about Wile E. teaming up with the other Coyote? The one from Eclipse and Epic Comics?
ReplyDeleteCoyote as The Emerald flying Fox might be ...interesting.....Batman sitting on Road Runner , racing down the road as Coyote is in pursuit...PRICELESS!!
ReplyDeleteThe Super-Genius and the Dark Knight should also follow up on the Acme Super-Outfit which also had similar defects..
ReplyDeleteHmm, I think it would have been more appropriate for the Brave and the Bold cartoon Batman than TAS Batman for this teamup, but I'll take it. ;)
ReplyDeleteChris
@Alaric: That's because Roxxon was a thinly-disguised-but-still obvious _specific_ company parody. The one that used to have a tiger for a corporate logo!
ReplyDeleteI thought I basically said that.
DeleteSometimes, a little further elaboration is a necessary thing.
DeleteIt should have been Ace the Bat Hound teaming up with Wife E Coyote
ReplyDeleteYou should do a Part 2 with this green costumed Wild E. Bat-Coyote & team him up with Marvel's green costumed Irish super-heroine Shamrock (who had the ability to increase positive outcomes). She could help him finally get rid of that Road Runner infestation in the US southwest (Roadie & his young allies from the comics). Maybe the Penguin is threatening to release some type of bird bomb on all of Ireland unless she helps Wile E. get rid of them.
ReplyDeleteI liked all of the other Wild E. Coyote team up ideas in the comment section here & hope you make several come true in the near future. :)
ReplyDeleteHow about Wile E. Coyote meets Werewolf Jimmy Olsen?
