What would the super friends do?

Got into a litle bit of a debate with fellow mogger Anna today about who would win in a fight. Not between her and I, jesus I know I would lose something fierce to a Greek robot. Our debate was about Spiderman and the Hulk, but I think we missed the bigger picture here. My question is, what do the Super Friends listen to on their Ipods while fighting crime through out the world? These are my thoughts:
Superman - Heavy on the american rock music so I am guessing John Cougar, Bruce Springsteen, Garth Brooks and maybe even some Billy Joel
Batman - He comes from the dark side so he has to listen to emo. My Chemical Romance, AFI, Underoath and any other band that wears more mascara than your girlfriend
Robin - Surely a bubble gum pop fan if I ever saw one. His Ipod is filled with the likes of N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, O Town and any other boy band that has one lead singer with a bunch of back up dancers.
Wonder Woman - Long live the feminist movement, and her music selection will back that statement up. Ani Difranco, Indigo Girls and the rest of the music you would have heard if you went to a Lilith Fair.
Aquaman - Guys lives in the sea so can you say New Age? Yanni would be his artist of choice and I am surprised Startrek3001 doesnt use his likeliness as an avitar.
The Flash - The man equals speed, so speed metal is what he is all about. early Metallica is his favorite, but he will also be listening to Mastadon, Helloween, Dragon Force and Primal Fear.
Wonder Twins - Man two kids and a monkey named Gleek, this screams of love for American Idol. Take any of the winners of this be-loved show and I am sure they have a song or two playing on their Ipods.
Honorable Mention:
Spiderman - Only because the Ramones covered his theme song, he became a huge lover of punk music. With the Ramones as his favorite, and other bands like NOFX, Agent Orange, The Clash and the New York Dolls round out his set list.
Hulk - Rock music, but the kind that kind of gets under your skin and makes you sick. Limp Bizcut, Creed, Linkin Park and other bands that for a short while seemed neat, but left the scene quicker than they came on. Come on, I think we all know it aint easy being green.

I heard Wonder Woman is a hip hop honey..
I think Robin listens to what you think Wonder Woman listens to..
Hulk - Green Day,Green River,Al Green,Grant Green,Green On Red
So many problems with this post. First, it's Spider-man, with a hyphen. Second, you start off a DC post with Marvel characters? Blasphemous. Also, it's iPod, not Ipod but that's personal digression. There's a reason I'm not an English major. anyhow, that's just me being pointless.
Anyhow, if they had taste, based on your descriptions:
Clark Kent: The Hold Steady
Bruce Wayne: Aphex Twin
Robin: Robyn
Aquaman: Aquabats
The Flash: actually the speed metal is good
Wonder Twins: Radiohead, citing the Greenwoods
Spider-man: from Queens, so punk makes sense, but like real fucking hardcore, like Bad Brains
Hulk:Mastodon, A Place to Bury Strangers.
Man, I'm cynical these days.
Nice Cody, but I still think Robin is a boy band follower. I mean with Batman he has lived in his shadow, and played back up for him. I like the Hulks selection you posted, I hate to think the Hulk listens to bad music
it's always so easy to dis aquaman and now this!
the man controls 3/4 of the planet
let's give him the respect he deserves damn it!
i think his palette would be a lot wider than you give him credit for
at least let's go with the honeydripper's version of sea of love
I should have included a warning that my post my offend serious comic book fans....................sorry!
For the record Neil, Aquaman was always my favorite super friend. I was a huge fan of Jacques Cousteau growing up, he seemed like the perfect superhero.
Ah, it's cool. I'm not that serious, unlike the Business Manager of the Literary Arts magazine. Dude spends like 30 dollars a week in comics.
Iron Mans fave band is Black Sabbath.
Watch, I just saw a speech coming like the one Jason Lee gives his girlfriend in Mallrats.
RGM, I would imagine that to be correct!
I haven't seen Mallrats in a minute. I read real books more than comic books.
i am not really offended kevin, no worries
but aquaman deserves some love!
it was quite difficult to watch that season of entourage with him taking such a weekly beating!
Aquaman understands whale and dolphin calls, probably even infrasound. I imagine our landlubber music is rather quaint to him. I give him full props for that.
As for our Amazonian girlfriend with that lasso of truth and bondage bracelets, I'm sure that by night, she's into a deeper scene than most of us have the stomach for, and those vocalists wear leather masks with zippers over the mouth. However, I'll bet she can also croon her own tender tunes when necessary. After all, she was created by a polyamorous couple that planned to extol the many virtues of a strong, dominant woman who could also appreciate the equally sublime pleasures of submission. Or something like that . . .
And, since Superman isn't even from earth, perhaps we should consider a different approach? Like Wagner operas? Assuming he has a Western aesthetic. Of course, he might be disgusted by an anti-semite German composer. But, I digress . . .
Watch, word to that what are you reading right now if you dont mind me asking.
Neil, no worries at all I just figure the superfriends cant all listen to good music, and aquaman always seemed to get the short end of the stick.
Cee, I now see Wonder Woman in a whole new light..........can you keep telling me about what she does with those bondage bracelets and lasso of truth?
Sure, but first, lick my boot, you swine. . .
Oh my, what the? Where did that golden twine around my ankles come from and why am I trussed like a Christmas goose?
hahaha........I laughed out loud! Sorry mistress it will not happen again
Heh heh. Glad you appreciate my sick sense of humor.
Listen, Rawk, now that I'm all tied up, I'm a bit concerned. If this large breasted sadist pops me in the oven, would you be so kind as to baste me every 10 minutes? I hate dry skin unless its browned and crispy.
as long as you dont mind if its with cocoa butter
well, naturally, dry rubs are for BBQs and extra virgin olive oil is too good for me (you know, like a white wedding dress), so your choice is most acceptable.
I'm reading the 2008 Pulitzer Prize winner, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. Multi-era, multi-perspective story about a Domincan family in New Jersey in the 80s and early 90s. I've also read the new David Sedaris, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, which was solid, but not his best work. The first book I read this summer was Boomsday by Christopher Buckley, a political satire about a blooger named Cassandra Devine who incites riots on golf courses because she thinks baby boomers should kill themselves before they hit 70 to make Social Security solvent.
You're pretty much spot on. I'd agree with most of Rawk's suggestions with an addendum to Aquaman - definitely throw in some Bebel Gilberto or Brazilian Girls in there. Who were some of the secondary characters on Superfriends? I seem to remember a giant Native American character who would yell "E-net-trock" or something like that. And didn't each character have an evil arch rival? Wouldn't that be fun to explore? The Riddler? He probably just listens to They Might Be Giants, Me First and the Gimmee Gimmes or old George Carlin comedy tapes. Lex Luthar (sp?)? He's a Johnny Cash/Social Distortion/Hank Williams type.
Cee I am glad I could make my mistress happy.
Watch, Boomsday just made my list of books I need to read. I am currently reading Schultz, mostly because I grew up reading all of the Snoopy books.
Eric, I was going to do exactly that, I headed to wiki and they had the listing of all the heroes as well as their arch rivals. I gotta say I love the idea of the Riddler listening to Carlin, somehow that seems to fit nicely!
If it helps, Boomsday is written by the guy who did Thank You for Smoking.
You are SO wrong about Batman Kev. Batman would be listening to goth rock & industrial, what are you thinking? Emo? BAH! Try some Bauhaus, NIN or The Cure for starters.
I think mr. Flash is listening to metal indeed, but smth like Slayer, while mr. Spidey throws his webs with the company of college punk -he may not even heard of The Clash :P-.
What about Batman? Seems like more gothic than emo to me.
OI! Batman listens to goth, Pyro is right! Bauhaus for sure!!!
Catwoman listens to Pussycat Dolls ;P
Robin listens to ABBA and Scissor Sisters. ;)
This post is so good.........
And uncle A is right, too, just saw that :*
By all this crazy logic, Plastic Man would only play old vinyl records; Hawkman would only listen to Hawkwind, unless he was listening to "Free Bird"; and Martian Manhunter would listen to the Village People. (Man-hunter. Get it?) Of course, Martian Basshunter is a whole 'nother thing...
Bauhaus and The Cure is the original EMO!
How about Joy Division then?... You know what we mean Eric, those are goth -rock n post-punk bands (labels, labels, labels..). Emo is... you know, all the garbage you listen to your radio -and that's not the 'original' emo idd-.
Bartender, I'll have what Eric is having..... ;)
Ha! Great, fun post. I definitely see Batman with more Industrial.
And sorry to question your choices...but Wonder Woman never came across as a lilith fair type...a feminist wouldn't dress so skimpy, right...
She's very well rounded and likes the best of all genres!
Look! I see dead people!
(Point of ref: Lynda Carter recently found a corpse..in real life)
As an old comics fan, I pretty much date the characters based on when they were created - DC, mostly in the Forties, so either they are not into music or are listeners like my parents.
Marvel, coming from the 60s, has characters that must be into the music of or similar to that decade. A bit like moi.
I wonder if The Green Lantren listens to DJ Green Lantern? Also, a great Saturday morning cartoon song is "Breakfast Club" by Z-Trip (feat. Murs & Supernatural).
Damn right I'm right! And I said Batman was goth rock & industrial before Pyro, that copycat, hahaha!
*Eric* it's so sad that the current emo was spawned from the loins of Bauhaus & The Cure. I really hate to admit it but it's true. It was FAR, FAR better the first time around though. . .
Oh, thre must be some misunderstanding. I'm a copydog, not a copycat -soz, firts reply of the day, couldn't find anything better to say-.
You mean you're a copydawg Pyro, you dawg you! @=P
Arf! (lame, i know)
It's RUFF not lame, heh.
Ok, now it's a spam -and Rawk will call the superheroes of this thread and ban us...except for Batman, he will probably sitting in his cave moaning n listening to goth rock tunes as I (no it was you, sorry;p) said-
Highly doubt Rawkiddo would do that since he's such a nice guy. He'll get a kick out of our goofy jokes & talk, so not to worry.
And I think you are a delusional guy to think you said Batman was goth rock first hehe(especially since I made my comment the day before yours). You need some meds for that dontcha know? Just sayin' XD
(especially since I made my comment the day before yours)....
How is that? Both replies have the same date: 06/21/2008
I was writing my reply comment the exact time you were writing yours. You just pressed the 'publish' button 2''-maybe it was 3''- before my hit. No need to mention those nasty bugs... :P
I'm out. I need to buy those meds you mentioned. They got really expensive lately and can't afford them that often.
So, I'm out. I need to buy those meds you mentioned. They got really expensive lately and can't afford them that often.
Oh, and the Batman guy...he would be listening to goth rock, not emo.

Naw, my first comment was on the 20th:

But let's not argue, since we agree on what Batman should listen to! Can't we all just get along? hahahaha
NO FIGHTING ON THIS THREAD............DONT MAKE ME GET BATMAN AND ALL HIS GOTHINESS TO COME TAKE CARE OF YOU TWO
Yea, yea . . . .
Meds: check.
Me: Ok, now it's a spam -and Rawk will call the superheroes of this thread and ban us...except for Batman... etc
Augusts :''Highly doubt Rawkiddo would do that since he's such a nice guy. He'll get a kick out of our goofy jokes & talk, so not to worry.''
Rawk: ''NO FIGHTING ON THIS THREAD............DONT MAKE ME GET BATMAN AND ALL HIS GOTHINESS TO COME TAKE CARE OF YOU TWO''.
Augusts, i think Rawk shouts cuz he is sooo jealous of your idea that Batman is listening to goth rock and not emo.
C'mon, let's go some place quite n tell me why you think Batman should be listening to The Cure.....
Agreed, he's a phreak like that! Away we go . . . .
Uhm....lets try super freak
Ok, Supa Freak it is tripbro!
