My family bred Dachshunds. Land sharks. Hate-snakes. Alley-gators. Teeth-tubes.
It's not for the weak.
Anyway, my mother had many sayings about this.
"Tired dogs are good dogs. And the only good Dachshund is a tired Dachshund."
"Never worry that your dog doesn't love you. Worry that it doesn't respect you. Unless it's a Dachshund, then you know it doesn't."
"At the end of the day, you can recover from anything your dog did. Unless it's a Dachshund and you don't make it until the end of the day."
"There are two kinds of dogs in the world: those that look where you're pointing and those that just smell your finger."
It's that last one that I have found most applicable to humans as well. And I thought of it again today when I read this by Screen Rant (cousin site to Comic Book Rant):
"DC Finally Admits Want Every Arrowverse Fan Already Knows".
Specifically? "he wants to be like the Dark Knight."
Well, I'm glad I was sitting down for that newsflash of insight. I read that comic book panel and got this. Screenrant read it and got "hey, Green Arrow wants to be Batman."
Thank god they never watched "Brave and the Bold", I think their heads would have exploded.
I've often made fun of Green Arrow for not being a detective. Well, compared to Screen Rant...
Green Arrow is Batman.
P.S. The Arrowcave first appeared in 1952 (World's Finest #59).

Because "Arrow-Finished-Basement" just doesn't sound cool. |
Ollie didn't really commit to the bit until 1960, when he appears to have had contractors install an ACTUAL cave.
