My all time classic WTF? comes from a Batman Xmas story. Jim Aparo did the art.
Batman is driving along in the Batmobile, and sees a kid run out onto the road in front of a truck. A guy is dressed in a Santa Claus suit nearby. He stretches his arms, and saves the kid. Batman runs up and de-beards him - its Plastic Man. Turns out Plas has fallen on hard times, and is out on the street begging for change.
So what does Batman do? He throws some small change into Plastic Man's collection pot. He then drives off. "Poor Plas," Batman thinks.
Even as a 12 year old, I was horrified: Batman is a millionaire, and can't afford more than some chump change for a fellow hero who is rboke and begging? I remember thinking, "Batman, you are a stingy cunt."

I'm gonna go with the "classic" Superman story where he sees an asteroid is heading towards the Earth. Instead of moving the asteroid, he moves the Earth out of the asteroid's path.

This was one of my favorite threads on the old DC message boards. I'll mention the one thing I listed in that thread. In the Justice Leagues 5th week event, the Justice League of Arkham issue showed Batman breaking into Arkham Asylum and recruiting several villains for a mission, including... the Joker. Releasing the villains was ludicrous enough, but to release the Joker was especially ridiculous (considering the Joker killed Jason Todd, Sarah Essen, and others, and also crippled Batgirl).
Also silly is the idea of diet soda causing superhero aggression (as revealed in Justice League Europe after Giffen left). Was this some attempt to continue Giffen's humorous approach to the title? Because it does seem ridiculous.

As I noted once or twice on the old DCMB, the Brave and Bold series, as written by Bob Haney, was a treasure trove of "WTF" moments.
From making Plastic Man a sorrowful, sobbing, freak, to having Sgt. Rock still alive in the 1970s and fighting a secret war with Germany, to having Batman and Gordon speak patented DC "jive" whenever the moment suited them, Haney's B&B run was one big WTF moment.
Second only to B&B for this sort of thing was Haney's run on World's Finest, where Superman and Batman were given teenaged sons (originally claimed to be "in continuity" but then relegated to a "what if" computer simulation) and Bruce Wayne had a retarded older brother who was later possessed by Deadman, among other things.
In fact, you might say Haney's entire comic book output was one big WTF moment.

Sounds good. Has any of Haney's work been collected in bind ups?
The two WTFs that spring to mind are them cancelling Outlaw Nation, and persisting in giving Caitlin Kiernan work...

Not that I'm aware of. Maybe the odd story in a collection here and there.
The only Haney story I can recall off the top of my head that was reprinted was in "The Greatest Joker Stories Ever Told." It was "Death has the Last Laugh" and it was, in fact, the "straightest" story Haney ever did. Good stuff, with some great Aparo art from back when he was on top of his game and every bit as good as Neal Adams.
In fact, I wish they'd reprint all the Haney B&Bs for the Aparo art alone.

Superboy and Ultra Boy are attending Pete Ross' birthday party in 20th century Smallville. For some reason, even though they can both travel through time, this means that they'll have to miss a Legion meeting in the 30th century. So they both build exact robot duplicates of themselves to fly to the future, announce that they're not really Superboy and Ultra Boy, and attend the meeting in their place.

Yes, this was a classic WTF plot device to explain both Power Girl's and Dr Light's aggressive personalities. Dr Light was made a total wuss by the writer.
I have not read it, but someone told me that Batma: Year 3 features Bats with a gun (not doubt playing up the very old Batman stories where he sued a gun), but more significantly allied with Joe Chill, the murderer of his parents.
I am plumbing my brains for a Vertigo or Wildstorm WTF. Generally these imprints have a better quality of story: the only one which leaps to mind is the issue of the Authority when the mad Doctor's powers suddenly run out. I just didn't get that at all.

I got a compilation of More Fun Comics yesterday, which is filled with WTFs (DC and others), mostly from the 60s and earlier - but real groaners. Too painful to write about.

Batman Year Two, actually. Yes, Batman used a gun against the Reaper but he eventually buried it in the foundation of the Wayne Foundation building. And, yes, he did team up with Joe Chill and several Gotham gangsters in an attempt to stop the Reaper's murderous rampage. He even knew it was his parents' killer when he met him, yet teamed up with him anyway. Eventually, of course, he confronted him about his parents' death.

And here I though I was the only one who ever read Outlaw Nation. Apparently having a book that was well written & drawn, had interesting characters, and could go from hilarious to poignant in the space of a few panels violated their prime directive - attract no new readers, violators will be prosecuted. Makes you wonder how Preacher ever managed to survive to the end of the tale.

Psychic precondition of the power transfer: one hour time limit. Sure, he probably could've removed it, but I think he really just wanted one last battle for the fun of it. But then we wouldn't have that great ending line: "Sixty minutes are up, asshole!" ![[nyah hah]](images/icons/tongue.gif)

The 'Hush" thread got me thinking..
Why the hell hasn't Mr Freeze ever taken the frozen body of his wife nora and placed it in a Lazarus Pit???
Why didn't Superman get Deadman to possess the body of Doomsday and stop him before he killed all those people..??? If they know Lex Luthor is guilty of so many crimes why don't they have Deadman possess Luthor and make him do something impeachable or jailable openly in teh view of the public eye???
Post Crisis..Talia gives birth to Batman's son in an in continuity story, and gives it up for adoption... years later Denny O'Neil strikes it arbitrarily from the Batman Canon..
Why didn't Amazo ever use Martian manhunter's powers to follow the super-heroes back to their homes and uncover their secret identities..???Thus effectively making them all impotent if they had secret IDs...

Whoops, sorry, I messed up: I meant to say why did he become good towards the end? The Doctor anticipated that this would happen. How? It didn't happen the first time around, when he went crazy and got imprisoned, did it?

By that point O'Neil had completely lost any and all sense of sanity. As of Zero Hour he was proclaiming that Batman was "an urban legend" and that nobody in the DCU believes he really exists...ignoring, of course, that he'd already edited a TON of stories in which Batman was very much a well-known and highly regarded public figure, and ignoring that Batman is a JLA member. He also helped conceive of the "Joe Chill really didn't kill the Waynes, the killer was never found" BS on the basis that Bruce Wayne would stop being Batman if he caught the guy who killed his family...ignoring, of course, that Batman had made a twofold vow to (a) find the guy responsible and (b) to wage war on all criminals in order to make sure what happened to him would never befall anyone else. THIS TWOFOLD VOW WAS DRILLED INTO THE MYTHOS AND REITERATED IN COUNTLESS STORIES. O'Neil ignored it and went his own way.
What he did to Son of the Demon wasn't an isolated incident. O'Neil had gotten into the habit of making stupid and arbitrary changes to Batman with increasing regularity.

I was very mad about this. Most significant thing to happen to Batman ever, and its negated by editorial decree.

Superman in the 60's tpb. One story has Superboy going back in time with the Kents. He refuses to help a man being victimized by pirates because it would mess with time. A few stories later, Superboy is at a President's Day celebration and decides to go back and save Lincoln. Not mentioning the ramifications once.
Another story has Superman marrying Lois and adopting Kara. Lois mopes throughout the story. She's stuck at home cleaning while Superman and Supergirl are off having adventures (Lois also had to quit her job). The end of the story has Kara being taken away by Children's Services and Superman chuckles.
WTF??

I could be wrong, but I never thought that Deadman was someone you could call up for help.
"Yoo hoo...Deadman...DEEEEAD.....maaaannn"
"Damn. He's not here at the exact second we need him. Does anyone have his pager number?"
"Uh, he doesn't have one. He's dead, remember?"
"Oh, shit. That's right....uh, is there a psychic around here? Does any one have John Edwards' phone number? Maybe he can get ahold of him..."

I'll go with a more current one...
...this Trinity mini...
...uh, when Wonder Woman first appeared (POST-Crisis) she didn't have the invisible plane; when she was first around, Superman & Batman DIDN'T know each other's identities (AND Batman had the "Aparo-Bat" costume; BLUE and a YELLOW oval around the bat in the chest....)
...I liked Trinity #1, but....WTF?????

I think Preacher survived because Ennis had managed to endear himself to the Wizard fanboy retard crowd. They don't seem to much like Delano for some reason. The thing that always really pisses me off about Outlaw Nation going down the tubes is that they never seemed to make any kind of attempt to plug or pimp it.

They did explain this. It took me a couple of times reading it to quite catch it. I'll pull out the tpb and summarize. But first I need food. And sleep.

Probably one of those moral issues where the superheroes "don't want to sink to the level of the villain."

This reminds me of the scene in The Nail where Flash uses his powers to vibrate through Amazo's head and remove his brain, telling him how he has everyone's powers but doesn't have the intuitiveness to use them outside of straight fighting. Don't know if Amazo was always portrayed this way in continuity (or if he was portrayed that way in Hourman, which I've read but can't recall).

I think it's kind of funny that the Millennium mini-series set up the New Guardians as the next step in human evolution, and the characters fade away in obscurity.

Almost a year later. . .heheheh.
Essentially the difference is this: The current Doctor has all of the combined powers of all of his predecessors. He is the only Doctor to have this level of power. This also means his senses and mental state are on another level. "empathy for every single living thing" I think was the phrase used in the story.
He knew when he gave up his powers, that eventually the rogue Doctor's senses and mental state would catch up to his power level, and he would no longer be a genocidal madman. All the Authority had to do was keep him busy long enough for that to happen. Essentially, the rogue Doctor got played by the junkie.
I don't know how well I've explained that, but maybe it's helpful.

Lots of odd things...
Superman fights Popeye
Senator Barbara Gordon
Damge being molested as a child (His parents were hand picked by Vandal Savage to raise a kid who could potentially be the most powerful superhuman on the planet!)
Though my favorite odd moment comes from Vext #1. Superman & Zauriel visit recently dethroned god of mishap Vext, who is trying to fix his toilet. Superman offers this helpful advice: "Just jiggle it."

The fact that this would have caused more harm notwithstanding, I wonder how it would have looked like to bystanders who saw Superman do it. I'm thinking all they ever saw was Superman doing a handstand while groaning.

 Anyways, the biggest "what the fuck" moment from DC for me...I remember at least one issue of a Superman comic that ended with him smiling and waving to Lobo. I mean, come on, Lobo's a MASS mass murderer and Superman's the ultimate boy scout, smiling and waving at him?!  "Please." That never sat right with me.
And that's terrible.

Another one: When Professor Hamilton first appeared post-Crisis, he flips out, tries to attack Superman, takes a hostage, and is arrested. Eventually, he becomes Superman's friend and go-to guy for scientific stuff.

In the last Generations series towards the very end, a young Lana Lang demands a kiss from Superman. Not just a peck on the cheek kiss either! And he does it! Add to the fact that the 12 issue series ended up not really happening makes the whole 3rd series a big WTF. Unfortunate since the first two series were great IMHO.
Fair play!

Batman No. 66, a comic which I used to own(a really messed up one) entitled "The Joker's Comedy Of Errors" or (I'm just paraphrasing here "The great BONERS of history". Anyways the plot goes with the Joker being pissed that people laughed at a "BONER" he got (I'AM NOT MAKING THIS UP!) and to get revenge he plans to show Gotham City "HOW MANY BONERS I CAN GET". The entire issue utters the word boner at least fifteen times with classic dialouge like this: Dick: How can he force you into a BONER Bruce? Bruce: I don't know Dick but however it is, it isn't good. Comissioner Gordon: If I were you Batman I would be careful of the BONER he has WAITING FOR YOU! This comic is also littered with many "greek" and "wood" references. Another story I would mention is this Superman (actually any Superman story from the Silver Age would do) story where where Clark Kent interviews Superman on TV, with the camera on both simultaneously. How he does it is Clark changes from Clark to Superman and switches places (in the excact and smooth positions too) SO FAST it's invisible to camera. Or the Punisher story written by Ron Zimmerman(ack!  ) where Reed Richards agrees to let Castle go back in time to kill Al Capone, because WITHOUT AL CAPONE THERE WOULDN"T BE ORGANIZED CRIME AND FRANK AND OTHER PEOPLES' FAMILIES WOULD DIE!!! Well Frank befriends Al and even CARRIES OUT THE ST. VALENTINES DAY MASSACRE FOR HIM and in the end it was all a dream. WTF?!!!
Voted "Biggest Waste Of Space" On The Bat-Boards For "Multiple Reasons" Jerry Falwell On Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer:"Those hollywood, homosexual, jewish types making a show about a reindeer who is 'different' and just cant 'hide it'. Everyone knows if he tries hard enough he can convert himself to a normal, black-nosed reindeer." I am 95% addicted to Porn. What about you?

Wertham was right on the money: his peer Moulston was bang into femdom, after all...
