The Night Descending
Iron & Wine

Black hair, the night descending
Baby never puts her trust in
Tight black tie too quick to laughter
Ain't no telling what he's after

Found a friend without religion
Riding on a stolen engine
Far too fast to pacify you
Ain't no telling what he's up to

In time, the night may soften
Trust that I'm still hoping, darling
Wooden coin, he called my daughter
No good knowing what came after

Met a man with missing fingers
Shaking hands with shaded strangers
Far too strong to pacify you
Ain't no telling what they're up to

Late night, the cock crows shortly
Morning through the open doorway
All us servants beg the master
Ain't no knowing what he's after

In a year of fallen angels
Broken hands and boys in danger
Pray the lord might pacify you
Ain't no telling what he's up to

I love the way you draw women. It's so much more empowering than most of their renditions in the comic industry. Power Girl has hips! She looks powerful! Yay!

This is just too much gorgeous in one place! I love everyone's expression, and that you've made Peej's outfit subtly less ridiculous! It's interesting that you went for characters and their complicated-canon counterparts. If your plan was to show there differences in them, you succeeded really a lot!

I love how you show how powerful the women are, rather than going for the sex appeal.

So am I a hypocrite when I say you draw the sexiest Bruce ever?

This seriously needs to be a poster, it's so fantastic. I love the subtlety of the colors and the various poses of the characters - especially how Diana is so effortlessly lifting that statue piece. Fantastic!

stray bullet - fun lovin' criminals (jason todd - red robin)

This man he seem quite mad, he scratch and claw the table
He will see us all in hell, watch as we rob the cradle
I don’t mind my apathy, but now it kills me for you
I never liked your diamond eyes, they must have cost a fortune
We gonna catch that stray bullet


flawed design - stabilio (tim drake - robin)

when i was a young boy i was honest and i had more self control
if i was tempted i would run
then when i got older i began to lie to get exactly what i wanted when i wanted it
and i wanted it
now i'm having trouble differentiating between what i want and what i need
to make me happy
so instead of thinking i just act before i have a chance to contemplate
the consequence of action


1,000,000 - nine inch nails (dick grayson - nightwing)

don't know when it started, don't know how
should have found out, should have happened by now
got these lines on my face
after all this time, and i still haven't found my place

i jump from every rooftop
so high, so far to fall
i feel a million miles away
i don't feel anything at all


dirty laundry (harley quinn, classic)

i got a bad boy and that's all right with me
his dirty laundry's nothing that i can't keep clean
and when he needs an alibi
he can use me all night

ooh, what's the fun in playing it safe?
ooh, i think i'd rather misbehave


counting bodies - a perfect circle (bruce wayne - batman)

don't fret, precious, i'm here
step away from the window
go back to sleep
safe from pain, and truth, and choice
and other poison devils
they don't give a fuck about you
like i do


red right hand - nick cave (clark kent - superman, as seen through the eyes of lex luthor)

you'll see him in your nightmares
you'll see him in your dreams
he'll appear out of nowhere
but he ain't what he seems

you'll see him in your head, on a TV screen
hey, buddy, i'm warning you to turn it up
he's a ghost, he's a god, he's a man, he's a guru

you're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan
designed and directed by his red right hand

I love this. I like how playful Kara looks, and Peej looks likes she's just finished kicking some major ass or is about to. You just don't see enough people draw Karen as anything but SEX. I salute you, madam. :)

For Smallville Lex...

Hello My Treacherous Friends, by OK GO

Sitting for lunch in a square in this town
(this town that I'm new to),
new fellow from my new town sat me down
and explained it to me:
how when I spin from him I spin from myself,
the center can double the speed of the crust.
Thank you, my treacherous friends.
I'm cringing for myself when I cringe for you.

Hello, my treacherous friends,
and thank you for joining me here tonight.
I brought you all here to discuss, as I must,
how grateful I am for your insights.

With regard to my newborn arachnid kids,
there's something we must discuss:
perhaps we should sit them down and explain
how not to be saved.
Perhaps you could help me to demonstrate
how your center can keep up its sickening spin.
Thank you, my treacherous friends.
Perhaps for my children your surface will smile.

 
Via [info]vagabond_sal, a *Clark Kent* song

Someone to Fall Back On, by Jason Robert Brown

I’ll never be
A knight in armor
With a sword in hand,
Or a kamikaze fighter;
Don’t count on me
To storm the barricades
And take a stand,
Or hold my ground;
You’ll never see
Any scars or wounds -
I don’t walk on coals,
I won’t walk on water:
I am no prince,
I am no saint,
I am not anyone’s wildest dream,
But I can stand behind
And be someone to fall back on.

Some comedy -
You’re bruised and beaten down
And I’m the one
Who’s looking for a favor.
Still, honestly,
You don’t believe me
But the things I have
Are the things you need.
You look at me
Like I don’t make sense,
Like a waste of time,
Like it serves no purpose -
I am no prince,
I am no saint,
And if that’s what you believe you need,
You’re wrong - you don’t need much,
You need someone to fall back on...

 
The Supergirl meta anthem

Golden Touch, by Razorlight

I know a girl with the golden touch
She's got enough, she's got too much
But I know, you wouldn't mind
You could have it all if you wanted
You could have it all if it mattered so much
But then all they know is how to put you down
When you're there, they're your friend
But then when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
We know what they mean
Well they mean, they're just jealous
Because they never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well

 
Every Robin ever

Don't Cry Out Loud, song of a million covers

Baby cried the day the circus came to town
'cause she didn't want parades just passing by her
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown
While she danced without a net upon the wire
I know a lot about her 'cause, you see
Baby is an awful lot like me

I taught her: don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

 
Ode to Comics Continuity IN GENERAL

Istanbul (Not Constantinople), by They Might Be Giants

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works
That's nobody's business but the Turks

Okay, the free NIN album? "1,000,000" totally IS a Tim song, ahahaha. "Discipline," however, is totally Ironman movie!Tony talking to movie!Pepper. It makes my little squishy fangirl heart swell with joy.

Am I - Am I still tough enough?
Feels like I'm wearing down, down, down, down, down
Is my viciousness,
Losing ground, ground, ground, ground, ground?
Am I taking too much?
Did I cross the line, line, line?
I need my role in this
Very clearly defined

I need your discipline,
I need your help
I need your discipline,
You know once I start I cannot help myself

And now it's starting up,
Feels like I'm losing touch
Nothing matters to me,
Nothing matters as much

I see you left a mark,
Up and down my skin, skin, skin
I don't know where I end,
And where you begin


New OTP right here. <3

Franz Ferdinand's "This Boy" is pretty much my love letter to the Bat-boys, right here:

It seems this boy bathed in ridicule
Too forward, way too physical
It's time that I had another
I'm always wanting more, if there's another one
Give me some more, I'll have another one
I'll have a slice of your mother

This boy's so spectacular
Not a boy, but a wealthy bachelor
I want a car
I want a car (yeah)


>:]

Be Your Own Pet's "Adventure" is totally Robin!Steph and Batgirl!Cass cavorting around Gotham fighting menaces...

We are adventuring, we are adventurers
And in the heart of Nepal we ran into trouble
And he's caught sight of our elegant rubble
And they ransacked our camp without saying goodnight

Okay so yeah it's cool
Cos we're like, adventurers

We are adventuring, we are adventurers
We've been to every place anywhere in the world
We are adventuring, we are adventurers

We are adventuring we are adventurers
And in the fall it was blazing hot
Below the equator, the sunlight would start
We travelled through jungles and the tigers we've fought

It's all cool you know
Cos we're like, adventurers


And Psapp's "Hi" is YJ Bart, with shades of YJ as a whole. Oh, those poor, doomed little kids. :(

Hello
get out the abacus and count this
a funny story with a dark twist
the target's so big that you can't miss me

you're compulsive
and every page I turn I want more
I never know the next thing in store
'cause you excite me like a locked door does

like a limpet
I wanna take your voice and drink it
there doesn't seem to be a limit
to all the things that I could do

I know how I want it to go
I know how I want it to be
don't make me think before i speak
or make me hold my horses

Hold tight
we saddled up if you can ride right
if you just think it then you'll be fine
fingers crossed that its the right time this time

you're a fat swamp
we can visit for a fun romp
I really want to do the high jump
taking a risk with do us all some good


And now I'm gonna go make my own musicpost. :D

Kick-ass as always, Ms. Ming. :D I think my favorite part of this is the background--it looks like they just got through with a really tough battle, with all of the helmets and spears scattered about. Also love how Diana is so casually hefting that big sculpture into the air.

And Power Girl! I think it's amazing how you didn't change her costume and yet she still looks like a force to be reckoned with, instead of like a babe in a swimsuit. It must be your magic, it's the only explanation!

Thanks for the song, too! That is perfect Bruce Wayne. In exchange (and in response to your call for music!), I present you with my current Bruce Wayne song (specifically, my Batman Begins song): Avalanche by Matthew Good. Here are the lyrics. It starts off a little slow, but it picks up as it goes on. :)
