Look out Batman! Bananas!


I find it incredibly irritating that artists and writers of comic books back in the so-called Golden and Silver Ages seemed to be working blind, never seeing each other's work. If a giant brace of bananas is descending in the picture, there is NO reason to actually have Batman say so. I've seen it happen before when a character drove off a cliff in his car. His line? "Oh no, I just drove off the cliff!". Pfft. We humans do love to belabor the obvious.
