The Super Dictionary

You might recognize the Super Dictionary from the time Lex Luthor stole forty cakes, but that's actually one of the least interesting parts of the whole thing. I'll be coming at you one letter at a time with the highlights.

A is for...

Accident

Spoiler

Krypto is a fucking idiot, this doesn't look like an accident to me. It looks like he very intentionally charged head first into a tree but regretted it so he tried to play it off as an accident so people wouldn't think he had brain damage.

Add

Spoiler

I'm very proud of Hawkgirl and her supernatural ability to add two numbers once a day. Bit of a cliffhanger though.

Agree

Spoiler

Trying to date a bee is one of the least dumb things involving Atom in this book.

Ajar

Spoiler

The Penguin has a weird fixation with doors in the Super Dictionary, but he's also one of the best parts so you'll probably see a lot of him.

Algae

Spoiler

Writers have always struggled with the problem of finding a real threat to Superman, but for some reason few have considered using algae. Wouldn't you expect Aquaman to be in the entry for algae?

Asleep

Spoiler

Remember to be quiet when you break into someone's house and watch them sleep, especially if you bring all your friends.

Attack

Spoiler

Every single sneezing face in this book is a work of art.

 

I'm posting one letter per day unless the letter is too garbage to stand on its own.

B is for...

Balloon + Banana

Spoiler

Wonder Woman isn't looking remotely near the giant balloon that is getting away.

Aquaman's obsession with being underwater is starting to affect his diet. Just go to the surface you fucking idiot, it's not like the banana started underwater. You had to bring it down there to begin with.

Basket + Basketball

Spoiler

Robin can't play basketball and is willing to blame everything except himself.

Bee

Spoiler

Hawkgirl can add four and six but can't catch a bee. She might be the most incompetent superhero in the whole book.

Beet

Spoiler

The Joker's potential for villainy is unbounded.

Below

Spoiler

At least he can eat a banana in a cage. Maybe Aquaman should be locked up.

Bend

Spoiler

Superman is insecure about when people mistake him for a bird or plane so he makes sure that nobody else flies when he's around.

Between

Spoiler

Wonder Woman's face looks worse every time she shows up.

Birthday

Spoiler

Now you know why he stole the cakes.

Blow

Spoiler

How can she both be blowing and talking at the same time?

Box

Spoiler

Lois Lane might just be dumber than Hawkgirl.

Break

Spoiler

He's the only one breaking pots but he's like "no don't do it" as if he's trying to talk himself out of some sort of psychotic pot breaking rampage.

Bubble

Spoiler

Superman may have been able to overcome the algae, but how will he fare against a bubble?

Bump

Spoiler

The girl has no remorse about this. This is fine. Everything's fine. Why doesn't Atom just stop shrinking?

Bush

Spoiler

I don't know who this dude is supposed to be but he's fucking gross.

 

You're doing God's work

 

These are awesome!
Also, how is "I'll save the balloons!" not a meme yet?

 

C is for...

Candy

Spoiler

Remember children, sometimes strangers offer you suspicious candy that puts you asleep but you should eat it just like Robin did.

Cause

Spoiler

I'm not sure if he just detonated a bomb or is listening to music so loudly Lex can also hear it.

Cent

Spoiler

Jimmy has decided to become a toll troll guarding the door. How is he going to pay for anything with a rate that low? And why would anyone want their name on the door? This is a terrible source of income!

Chair

Spoiler

It feels like Batman arrived suddenly and is asking people to be seated for no reason. Maybe he busted a pedophile ring.

Cheerful

Spoiler

Batman doesn't look cheerful at all, this is a terrible example.

Chimney + Chin

Spoiler

I want to know how that asshole even got in there.

Robin would also look weird with a beard so I'm glad he can't grow one.

Choose

Spoiler

I'm starting to suspect that this is definitely a sex thing for Atom.

Chosen

Spoiler

I can't decide if Aquaman's water games are stupid or amazing.

Close

Spoiler

I always thought this panel looked like The Penguin testing Robin's reflexes with astral projection.

Comb

Spoiler

Lex Luthor is a creepy weirdo that watches you comb your hair.

Comfortably

Spoiler

I know Atom can shrink, but how the fuck does he get inside the egg?

Cone

Spoiler

And now we learn why Superman struggles with algae and bubbles. He consumed large quantities of lead paint as a child.

Crawl

Spoiler

Look how fucking lazy this drawing is.

Cry

Spoiler

I wonder if Superman retained the power of supercrying as an adult.

Cupful + Curious

Spoiler

I think Hawkman should be a lot more concerned than curious, but he probably correctly assumed it was just Hawkgirl getting lost while chasing something.

 

Aquaman probably just hosts the water games so he can stare at that girl all the time. His expression makes me think he's part of the pedophile ring that Batman busted in 'Chair'.

 

D is for..

Dad

Spoiler

Do any characters in this whole book have a dad?

Decide + Declare

Spoiler

After getting bested by algae and a bubble Superman faces his toughest challenge yet, relationship problems.

Wonder Woman has a look on her face that suggests she will help all the good people, but not the blacks.

Dent

Spoiler

Robin isn't a very safe driver. Remember this for later.

Desk

Spoiler

This is a easy mistake to make and I can't blame Batgirl for something we've all done before.

Difference

Spoiler

Hawkgirl can distinguish between mountains and fields with that superhuman perception of hers.

Dine

Spoiler

Comet's love for Krypto has been waning lately.

Dirt + Dirty

Spoiler

Batman's getting fucking wrecked by that dirt. He's acting like the Superman just punched him in the jaw.

Dislike

Spoiler

What did that house ever do to you?

Doctor

Spoiler

Here's the part we learn Penguin only started being a bad guy because of his untreated medical issues.

Doll + Dollar

Spoiler

I don't really understand what Wonder Girl is so I was under the impression she's just Wonder Woman as a kid. Why does she have dolls of her adult friends?

This thief is 100 times more effective than Jimmy Olsen's door toll.

Door

Spoiler

I always thought this was a weird entry because it doesn't tell me anything about the word.

Spoiler

I guess this version makes a bit more sense, I think the Penguin's trying to warn Robin that he just came back from taking a huge shit and the bathroom smells terrible.

Dragon

Spoiler

Maybe this isn't the best place to doubt that dragons exist.

Drift

Spoiler

Aquaman is a fucking jackass. Why would he just drift down the river for no reason and then get his buddy to pull him back.

Drive + Driven

Spoiler

Robin is not a very good driver, did you remember from before?

Dust

Spoiler

I hate it when my cats get dusty.

 

Fun fact: this book was the inspiration for Mojo Jojo's way of speaking in The Powerpuff Girls.

Read some of the entries in his voice and I think you'll get why.

 

Louis Lane is apparently a Skyrim character. Clark Kent just sticks a box over her head when he needs to transform into Superman.

 

... American comics are weird.

 

This is the kind of image that makes you wonder how bad it would look if their roles were reversed.

Hey, just like a certain someone I know!

They got this one wrong. This should have been under A because these are obviously not dolls, they are ACTION FIGURES.

Well played good gentlesir, very well played.

Why does he need a boat in the first place? he's fucking AQUAMAN!

 

E is for...

Early

Spoiler

It doesn't look like the Joker has anything sinister planned so maybe they routinely go out to breakfast together.

Earthworm

Spoiler

Krypto is seriously distressed by this earthworm. A regular dog probably wouldn't give a shit.

Eat

Spoiler

Is he upset because it's his apple or because there's something wrong with it?

Eighteen

Spoiler

Welcome to my new favorite game show "Deal or Maybe a Spider" hosted by Wonder Woman. You pick one of eighteen boxes and one of them has a spider and somehow it takes an hour to do one episode.

Elementary

Spoiler

I don't believe this for a second. Wonder Woman could at least teach intermediate flying, she doesn't have to sell herself short.

Empty

Spoiler

The mystery of who emptied this glass is the most mystifying yet.

Enemy

Spoiler

Algae, airplanes, and bubbles have been confirmed for bad people.

Enter

Spoiler

The Flash has trouble following directions. It comes across as really spiteful like "Oh, so you want me to come over? YOU DIDN'T SAY THROUGH THE DOOR HAHA FUCK YOU I'M A SUPERHERO I DON'T HAVE TIME TO PLAY XBOX."

Escape

Spoiler

If only he followed the safety guidelines from the Marvel Superhero Cookbook he wouldn't be in this situation.

Ever

Spoiler

Supergirl is clearly trying to seduce this ordinary rat but little does she know that the rat is in a committed relationship with Atom.

Expect

Spoiler

If we've learned anything about Robin so far it's that nobody should expect anything from him.

Eye

Spoiler

What would you be thinking about if tiny superheros were climbing on your face and discussing what eyes were?

 

F is for...

Face

Spoiler

Wonder Woman has been taken hostage and is about to be executed on TV.

Fairy

Spoiler

Remember when they specified that dragons were a make believe animal that wasn't real? Turns out fairies are totally legit.

Feast + Feather

Spoiler

Batman and the Joker are planning another date, I guess the early breakfast was a success.

Firehair's friend looks so gross, I hate it.

Fifty + Fight

Spoiler

Fifty is my favorite entry for a number.

I don't know if Firehair has any powers other than wandering around his reserves and being a stereotype, but if he does he doesn't do anything with them.

Fix

Spoiler

I honestly doubt that that car was fixed last week. Maybe he let Robin drive it.

Flop

Spoiler

Don't you just want to pat Hawkgirl on the head when she colours inside the lines?

Flower

Spoiler

Look at that maniac's giant fucking hand. You can't stop him, he's going to pick the flower and he's going to use it for weird sex stuff.

Fork

Spoiler

I like how they specified that you needed hands.

Forty

Spoiler

That's terrible.

Frown

Spoiler

I'm not a frowning expert but I wouldn't describe that as a frown.

 

G is for...

Garden

Spoiler

Robin seems to see no issue with hiding in plants much smaller than him. It's probably not even his garden, he's just sitting there in someone's vegetables in the middle of the day.

Gay

Spoiler

Getting Pounded in the Butt by Dinosaurs While Time-Traveling Turned Conjura Gay is the latest book by Hugo nominated author Chuck Tingle.

Giraffe

Spoiler

I don't know what he did to piss off a giraffe, but he does have a point.

Give

Spoiler

In the cyberfuture everyone is really casual about jetpacks.

Go

Spoiler

The little water plants might get the best of him yet.

Goblin

Spoiler

Goblins sure are scary! Poor Hawkgirl.

Good-by + Goodness

Spoiler

I haven't seen it spelled Good-by but I will allow it.

Superbaby's new pet has a striking resemblance to the offspring of Old Greg and The Thing.

Goose

Spoiler

Pro-goose propaganda.

Grant

Spoiler

Superman's best friend Jimmy Olsen wishes that Krypto in particular would save him. Is he too embarrassed to want anyone else to save him?

Great

Spoiler

So there's a button inside the city that will destroy the city, but a crowd that doesn't know what the buttons do came over to break the buttons and now the city is safe. Thanks crowd.

Grin

Spoiler

After the failure of showing Wonder Woman frown the entry for grin doesn't even show her face.

Group + Grow

Spoiler

Hawkgirl lives with a small group. Hawkgirl lives with a small number of people in an assisted living facility. They grouped together to watch My Little Pony.

This Superman wouldn't work very well in the new movies.

 

H is for...

Hand + Handful + Handkerchief

Spoiler

Batgirl can't tell time and the Penguin thinks that his umbrella puts him in a position of power.

SR-12 is very much unlike Anakin Skywalker.

Atom's face is a work of art.

Handle

Spoiler

It looks to me less like he just broke the handle but is just carrying around both the cup and broken handle and is attempting to push them back together.

Hang

Spoiler

This is the most intense scene you'll ever see in the Super Dictionary.

Hatch

Spoiler

What did they hatch just in time for? Was Krpyto about to eat the eggs if they didn't hatch that second?

Have

Spoiler

Personally I think Joker has the better car.

Heart

Spoiler

I think we all <3 Hawkgirl

Helium

Spoiler

I'll save the balloons by becoming one!

Help

Spoiler

And Hawkgirl needs a lot of help!

Hind

Spoiler

Congratulations to Krypto for winning Deal or Maybe a Spider.

His + History + Hit

Spoiler

There's something seriously wrong with this panel. Atom's not fucking around with a bee or getting his head smashed in by a little girl.

Ho + Hold

Spoiler

When I hold people captive, I make them hold my giant novelty telephone.

Honk + Honor + Hook

Spoiler

Batman is easily amused.
Meanwhile, Aquaman tries to reenact a Spongebob episode with his aquatic friends.

How

Spoiler

Green Lantern is having an existential crisis.

Huge

Spoiler

I think this picture would suit "how" more so than huge.

Hummingbird

Spoiler

Imagine how that feels on Atom's crotch. That's probably why he likes hummingbirds. Gross.
