Batman's New Bat-Hat

From time to time, comics have revealed that teams like the Justice League occasionally get together for a group photo. Maybe once a year, or whenever the membership changes. Having managed a few photo shoots in my time, I know how chaotic they can be. Imagine how much more chaotic when the subjects of the photo have personalities ranging from cheery do-gooderism to various forms of mental illness plus an array of disconcerting super-powers. 

Here, Zatanna indulges in some mild tomfoolery by chanting, "taH! evoM ot s'namtaB daeh!" And suddenly Batman's wearing her top hat, much to his annoyance and the chuckles of his super friends. 

I don't think they've ever shown who takes the JL photos, though. Maybe Jimmy Olsen?

Stretching Abilities

If I had stretching abilities like Mr. Fantastic or the Elongated Man, I'd definitely use them to help Sylvia reach things because she's even shorter than me, but I'd ALSO tease her with silly antics such as inflating my eyeballs or stretching my neck up high so I could look over people taller than us in public. "Stop making a scene," she'd say. Hee hee! 

I'd probably entertain some fantasies about fighting crime, but in the real world I think it would be pretty hard to find a crime in progress, and interfering without any training might do more harm than good. Also, crime can be better addressed by reducing income inequality, providing better social supports, improving public education, and creating affordable housing, among other measures. Sure, I might be able to wrap my body around bank robbers and hold them until the police arrive, but how much does that really benefit society? 

I'd definitely entertain myself by rolling down mountains, though. Or maybe jumping out of airplanes and seeing how high I bounce. Wheeee!
