Sometimes a ride just isn’t a ride.

On the DC New Frontier DVD, they’ve packaged a few episodes of Justice League. I was watching one of the episodes – Dark Heart. In it, the Justice League fights some kind of self-replicating entity that necessitates them getting The Atom to help in the battle. The Atom is a character they have to shuttle to the battle site and then shuttle him close enough to the creature in question so that he can voyage inside the thing.

Well, Superman goes to get The Atom and he hitches a ride in Superman’s ear canal.

Fine, a little gross but fine nonetheless.

Wonder Woman is the hero that has to get The Atom close to the creature. So, of course The Atom hitches along in her ear canal as well, right?

Wrong, The Atom of course takes up residence in Wonder Woman’s cleavage!

There’s this great moment when The Atom jumps out between Wonder Woman’s breasts and into the creature.

Now, this scene is just laden for all kinds of smarmy comments. First off, it’s amazing The Atom could show the discipline to tear himself away from those voluptuous Amazonian orbs. What I was surprised by though is that I can’t really remember anyone catching this and creating an uproar over it.

I mean, wouldn’t the equivalent been if The Atom had caught a ride in Superman’s taint?*

Like... ewwww!

*NOTE – since writing this entry, I kept thinking about an old Jim Croce song, You Don’t Mess Around with Jim except the lyric would be: You don’t ride in Superman’s taint!
