Was the origin of Captain America's shield ever revealed? For years, that was a mystery.

I thought it was a mix of Vibranium and Adamantium that President Roosevelt or Truman gave to him as a replacement of his original shield during WW2.

I agree. It is/was better when we are/were led to believe that no one actually knows the Joker's origin, including the Joker ("Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another...if I'm going to have a past I prefer it be multiple choice.")

easy.......Spiderman/Blackcat mini by Kevin Smith.....the last issue of the series never came out...... the cocksucker never finished it cause he was too busy.  ....anyhoo.....issue #3 left off us with the bad guy having just injected blackcat with enough heroin to make her paralyzed but conscious so she could see what he was about to do to her.......he had his dick in one hand and a knife in the other.......with the knife they showed him cut off those hot sexy black leather pants she wears and he was about to you know......it just ended there.

What about The Killing Joke? I too prefer the multiple choice origin, but TKJ says he was a pathetic guy in love scrounging for money and trying to work a poor comedic act in his spare time
What does Cobra Commanders face look like?
My great unanswered question would be: "How can batman deprive himself of so much sex"
I understand he has a mission, but he's only had sex about twice in his life, once before his life as batman, and about once with Talia [its not clear if he tapped Catwomans ass in the recent issue]. He obviously doesnt have time to jerk off unless he does it on the Gotham rooftops, so this man must be some sort of inhuman cyborg without any sexual urges
"Now TV's all about format these days isn't it, and I've got a new type for you right here.
Its me and Paris Hilton driving around in a car.... Now I know what you're thinking, but she's in the boot!"
"So you see, 'Ring around the Rosey' refers to the horrible symptoms of a terrifying disease, a disease which.....a disease which....ZIM! Theres a Pigeon on you're head. You have 'Head Pigeons'. get to the Nurse before they spread to the other children."

Notice that Alan purposefully made that flashback nebulous Flame.
The point that he was getting across was that-that was prolly the memory that Joker was recollecting at the time, therefore he acted the way he did. It was one of the multiples dude.

Joe Chill. DC can try to worm around it as much as they want, but Bob and Bill said it was Joe Chill and that's good enough for me.

But what's certain is that Joker rode Babs like a pony.

Not to be pedantic, but did "Bob and Bill" really say that?
By the time that DC actually named the Wayne's shooter as "Joe Chill," how much direct involvment did either have writing the stories?
While I'll admit it is possible that one of them wrote that story, given how many "ghosts" and outside writers were being used on Batman at the time it is entirely possible that, for instance, only Gardner Fox and Sheldon Moldoff said it was Joe Chill who killed the Waynes.

Not they didn't. And I don't see how their say so matters.

Hmmmm...
How Emma Frost's New X-Men costume was kept up?
In my dream, the world had suffered a terrible disaster. A black haze shut out the sun, and the darkness was alive with the moans and screams of wounded people. Suddenly, a small light glowed. A candle flickered into life, symbol of hope for millions. A single tiny candle, shining in the ugly dark. I laughed, and blew it out. - Joker

Hmmm... The origin of the Phantom Stranger comes to mind. Oh, and "The Noodle Incident" that's frequently mentioned in Calvin & Hobbes.

Did they ever reveal what the hell happened to John Constantine in Newscastle? They kept referring to that as early as in Moore's Swampy, in the first issues of Hellblazer, and in the first and only annual (where a young John comes out of a mental house after "what happened in Newscastle").

HELLBLAZER: RARE CUTS TPB
Writers: Jamie Delano, Grant Morrison & Garth Ennis
Artists: David Lloyd, Sean Phillips, Richard Piers Rayner & Mark Buckingham
Publisher: DC Comics/Vertigo
Reviewed by Dave Farabee
This isn’t what you’d call an essential collection, but it is a welcome one. HELLBLAZER readers already know that, despite the many HELLBLAZER trades, the series is far from being completely collected. Hey, any book that runs two hundred issues is gonna have some lulls! What RARE CUTS collects is a sampling of the bright spots from those periods, single issues and two-parters by three notable luminaries: series’ founder Jamie Delano, odd-man-out Grant Morrison, and a single story by fan-fave Garth Ennis.
If I was dropping a letter grade, I’d give this one a solid B. Honest truth is that there’s a reason these stories haven’t been collected before, but if you’re a fan of bastard conjurer John Constantine or you just want to stave off fears of Keanu’s upcoming bastardization of the character, here’s what you’ll get:
“Newcastle: A Taste of Things to Come” – This is such a quintessential chapter in John Constantine’s life that I’m honestly shocked it hasn’t been collected before. It’s the story that the entire first year of HELLBLAZER was building up to in the late ‘80s: the much-whispered tale of John Constantine’s earliest, greatest failure. The story itself is set in the late ‘70s and follows John Constantine and his troupe of counter-culture punkers and magicians in a horribly botched exorcism set to haunt them forever. Literally.
Looking back on the issue, it retains its power to unnerve, and still has one of the grossest concepts ever to make its way into a comic: the “Norfulthing,” a Burroughs-esque monster evoked by a sexually abused girl. It’s barely glimpsed, but the description from the girl will stick with you: “Partly it’s a giant dog and partly it’s a monkey with a purple bum, like at the zoo. But worser than that, it’s all insidey-out…” If there’s a weakness to the outing, it’s the art, almost too literalist and photo-referenced. Not big on the coloring, either, a garish transitional point between ‘80s superhero coloring and the not-yet-established Vertigo palette. Still and all, a seminally bleak outing for Constantine. Piss and vinegar youth meets grim reality.
Thing is- I can’t spell or type. I spell so badly my spell check doesn’t even know what I was trying to spell. And I have five Eisners HAHAHAHHA!!

Around Zero Hour, it was revealed the Waynes' killer was never found. Recently, in Superman/Batman, it was implied Metallo killed them (before he became Metallo, that is).
