Arrowverse Crossover’s Reason for Batman Absence Opens Up a Massive Mystery

annotated-dc:

So Batman’s been missing for three years in the Arrow ‘Verse, and that’s why he’s not shown up anywhere? …Okay, that’s also how they got around him not being in the Birds of Prey show as well.

Could lead to some interesting plots in Kate’s show when it begins, whether they’ll have the imposter Batman from Grant Morrison’s run show up claiming to be the “real“ Batman, only for her to know that that’s a lie ‘cause Batman is, you know, her cousin. He probably went to her Bat Mitzvah or something.

…I swear that pun wasn’t intentional.

Arrowverse Crossover’s Reason for Batman Absence Opens Up a Massive Mystery

Would it be possible to ride a large azhdarchid (if they were still around)?

Answer: Maybe?? You could certainly ride one on the ground (if it would let you, if you could attach a saddle, etc). Unlike birds, pterosaurs launched quadrupedally, and the main driver of their launch stroke was the wing. This gives a big benefit over birds – instead of having to separately develop large muscles on the legs and arms, they could afford to just beef up the arms majorly.

The bigger benefit of this is, of course, that they’d probably have an easier time taking off with extra weight. Current weight estimates of the largest pterosaurs are around 200kg (440lb), so would they be able to take off with a human on their back? I’m not sure. The answer might be “if you’re especially small”.

TIL plants make caffeine to defend themselves against pests. Caffeine is toxic to birds, dogs, cats, and it has a pronounced adverse effect on mollusks, various insects, and spiders.

Coffee plant: *evolves caffeine* Safe at last

Humans: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Why are we like this….

the fact that we can’t drink sea water even tho its the most common type of water just bc its 3% salt yet we can safely consume multiple forms of literal poison and even benefit from doing so just blows my fucking mind

Peppers: Now that I have capsaicin, no mammal will eat me! ONLY BIRDS. THE BIRDS WILL SPREAD MY SEEDS.

Humans: oh my god this burns so good

Peppers: wut

poppies: at last, i have evolved my sap to the point where anything that eats me will sleep… FOREVER

humans who are about to invent painkillers: hey guess what

tobacco: finally i can grow in peace, no more insects munching on my leaves.

humans holding matches: my, my, what do we have here?

Mint: Stay off me bugs or I’ll poison you!

Humans: Yeah I’m gonna need to put this poison in my dessert and mix it with chocolate.
