Shhh! Don’t tell kids that they’re not allowed to read comic books because they’re all PG-13 content (except for the hard R-brutality). So far as kids know, superheroes are still for them!

The proof is all around me. This summer, my neighbor kids went nuts when they saw all the comic book stuff I was selling. Despite only knowing Green Lantern from the Cartoon Network cartoons, they knew most of my PVC figures. They begged their mom for money to buy some TPBs, and I hastily searched my memory of each one for content that was inappropriate. I finally settled on “JLA: WWIII” as something they might like.

Now one of my best friends has posted his video of his kids singing the Batman and Spider-Man themes. The odd thing is that they love the characters but haven’t actually seen either of the TV shows the themes are from!

I’m trying to get Christian to start them on Underdog and someday the barbershop 1988 version of Mighty Mouse.
