Reposting... THE GREATEST DEATHTRAP ESCAPE OF ALL TIME?
(Re)Presented for your consideration...

What may very well be...

The Greatest Deathtrap Escape Of All Time?






Page One: In which Batman and Catwoman are trapped in the Spiderweb... Er, sorry, Cat's Cradle Deathtrap. By virtue of the fact that said death trap is merely an obvious, transparent excuse to:

1. Tear off their clothes

2. Provide a setting for Catwoman to pass out from the effects of the Mysterious Deadly Comic Book Drama Disease that she hasn't been able to tell Batman she has.

3. Rip off their clothes.

It may already be among the Greatest Deathtraps Of All Time.



Page Two: In which Batman must selflessly sacrifice more of their clothing. And then must nobly SLINGSHOT his recently-stripped beloved off and hope he doesn't break her.



Page Three: In which batman is very thankful that he didn't break her, and leaps off himself.

And then scoops up the barely-comics-code-compliant love of his life, holding her tenderly against his barely-comics-code-compliant body.



Page Four? I find Awesome in so many ways that enumerating them all would keep me here all night.

So chosen at random:

ONE: He makes a valiant attempt to play it off all cool that he keeps her clothes around.

TWO: HE JUST KEEPS looking in that damn microscope, even as she dresses in front of him, so desperate is he to keep said cool. And furthermore, she actually CALLS HIM ON IT... "Still checking out that sliver of Cat-Man's boot heel?"

THREE: Ladies and gentlemen... THE SOFT, SUPPLE HOURS BEFORE DAWN!*

FOUR: Lucky in more ways than one!


Now, it is possible that I am wrong. There may be a better death trap escape.

But this sets the bar high, yes/no? ;)

*And apparently it's worthy of note that in those soft, supple hours before dawn, the Wayne Building is still looming in an impressive manner. Such soft, supple hours would apparently have had a de-looming effect on less impressive erections.

(Scans from Batman #324)

This is the greatest thing in the history of ever. And so are you.

This is a very good Death Trap, I have to say, though I maintain the greatest death trap ever was the one from New Avengers #5 was the best ever. So many hot, naked superheroes, strung up by the arms, muscles all taut and gleaming and whatnot... *drool*

In which case, I concede the point, as I can think of no escape more fraught with gentlemanly clothes-tearing than this one. :D

I HEAR YOU. However, this argument is for the ESCAPE, not the actual trap. The escape being entirely about stripping. Death traps that are inherently about nudity are their own category of awesome.

You both make compelling arguments. May I propose a Scan-Off? For great justice? And not just because I wanna see more hot naked superpeople in bondage?

Prime example of it's only subtext if it's subtle or what!

No contest. This is the greatest death trap escape ever.

Grade A heroism there, Batman!

Any escape from a trap which involves stripping is a great one. XD

I'm not trying to question the awesomeness of this death trap, but does science even work that way?

Zhinxy's Law of Thermodynamics: If it has anything to do with getting Batman and Catwoman naked, it's hot enough for zhinxy to suspend any amount of disbelief.

Point of fact: Tsuki also follows Zhinxy's Law of Thermodynamics

...now how did she know he was looking at Catman's heel peice unless she had been faking being unconscious while he removed her costume and played doctored with her?

...Well, she WAS still conscious when he sliced off the bit o'heel, and being that she knows the Bat and his propensity for detecting, it was a logica...

Nah, she was almost certainly fakin'. Would you expect any less? ;)

Aww, darn Comics Code that was still obeyed back then. I wanted to see some soft, supple pre-dawn sexing.

If not the Greatest Deathtrap Escape Of All Time, definitely Retro's Favorite Deathtrap Escape Of All Time.

THAT is a hot date. I don't see Bats toss her any under gear so I'm thinking she goes comando.Considering the high cut on the skirt it must have really been something when a strong wind blew past!

I still say Achebe's death trap in Black Panther 12 is the best. He strips T'Challa naked, ties him to Ross and then puts him in a giant pinball machine, filled with acid, explosives and an electrified claw covered in razor wire (Ross: He really should have with one or the other, but I disgress).

But that said, any death trap that causes nudity is a good death trap!

SOUNDS FABULOUS, and far superior to the web/cradle, but as stated, this argument is for the ESCAPE, not the actual trap. ;)

Well...Ross had to climb into a small plastic bubble with a completely naked T'Challa.

If that doesn't rate on Scans Daily, what does?

Nay! The best deathtrap of all time involves Deadpool,a voice activated killer teddy bear and a baby bonnet. Pardon me whilst I go find it.

thanks for reposting! now if only others would do the same for the catwoman/selina stories lost in LJ

BTW, this is my favorite Selina costume, before it gets shredded by batman that is ;)

This is a pretty cool escape sequence, all right, but I'm a little hazy as to just how this deathtrap works. Clearly, the threads of this 'Cat's Cradle' cause pain upon bodily contact - but how? Are they coated with poison, or a drug of some kind? Is it a low-level electric charge? What's going on?

Awww! Don't care if it's the best, because it is definitely my *favorite* death trap escape.

Heh. Oh, Majestic Wayne Foundation.:)
