Yeah, I remember that story.

And the twist (revealed several months later in the letter column) that each was a clue to a famous person, place or thing named either "Clark" or "Kent."



That wily Brainiac. No one gets his humour.

There was an issue of Batman where Captain Boomerang has captured Batman, doesn't unmask him, doesn't shoot him or drug him, but instead ties him with rope to a giant boomerang with a rocket on it, which launches itself into the sky and explodes, to Boomerang's delight. Of course, Batman has burned the rope in the jet flame (without burning his hands off) and leapt to safety while Boomerang wasn't looking. Good thing Boomerang didn't use chains.



If you're ragging on the "elaborate death trap as opposed to just shooting or unmasking the hero" scenario, what was it about this story that made it stand above the rest?
