Names changed to protect the innocent.  Also, some sensitive corporate info has been removed -- this is from my company's internal Customer Service/Tech Support chat:

peter: Batman?..he has nothing on the Green Lantern
caylen: debateable. There's only been one (technically 3) batmen, but roughly 35 green lanterns.
peter: 35 to 3 ...I like those odds
caylen: not if your against batman. i mean, does the green lantern have a grappling hook? or a butler?
caylen: uh, you're
peter: he has a cool ring
caylen: yeah, that needs RECHARGING
caylen: batman doesnt even sleep!
mark: holy smokes batman

Oh that's nothing, you should see what some people believe Batman can do.  Everything from take down Superman without kryptonite to slaughter entire armies singlehandedly.  Heck, people believe this about the whole bat family.  *Points to my first post in this thread about the killing of over a thousand orcs on the first day thing for Batgirl's ability to singlehandedly slaughter over 10,000 orcs according to some people*  Somehow Batman has become the Batgod.   :D

Blame Justice League and the need to have Bats be completely out of his element for the sake of bad crossovers.  His character has been mangled by that and the Bat Army they insist on saddling him with - he's turned from what you might see in Batman: The Animated Series(I know, I know, but it is the best example offhand.) into a freakish, godly planning SUPER BATGENERAL. After all, how else could he even hope to keep up with the metahumans like Green Lantern, Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, etc al?

The new Batgirl isn't helping, either, but that's a rant for another day.

That's actually the main reason I posted it here. ;)

Back in the day, not everyone knew about this here thing called the 'internet'. Why, I remember a time when we had to use telephones and yell the data bits across the phone line. If you wanted to upgrade your modem, you yelled faster. But you whippersnappers today wouldn't understand the kind of hard work that we put into internet culture back then, you lazy good-for-nothings.

I'm not sure this is quite dumb enough to qualify.

It's in reply to someone pointing out why they don't find a Star Wars/Ranma/Techi/Sailor Moon cross credible.

Or perhaps the author's defense of his work.

No fair cheating, Edward. Stupidity is abundant over there. :(

Readers agree, and he gets smeared all over the discussion forum.

On a slightly more serious note: Idiot! AHAHAHAHA!

Ye gods, if people like that get to write for CNET . . .
