I think that pretty much speaks for itself. I hope "the gang" shows its face over here. It would make a nice training mission for Robin. Heck, Aquaman could take out these idiots.
BTW, apparently the Evil guys goal is to divide Europe and set up an empire. Isn't that an oxymoron??

Yeah, it's hard to envision Batman crying out, "Watch out!!! She's got a smoke grenade!!!"
Especially with three exclaimation points. (Actually, every sentence in that panel has three exclaimation points. Was that the amount stipulated in the offical comic strip bylaws in Brussels?)

I think the three exclaimation points fall under "the informed attribute" clause. If it has three exclaimation points, then it must be critical. Example: "Look out, he has a zucchini!!!"
"...yet it hadn't destroyed his brain."

I demand that the UN step in to stop the unsanctioned actions of the Captain Euro.
The ROPe gives you three options, convert, submit, or die. There is a fourth, resist. |

| Two more exclamation points for any of them and they'd be certifiable. |

Nah- blatant capitalism is at the root of Captain Euro!!
Captain EURO® is an internationally registered brand created by Twelve Stars Communications. He's fun. He's friendly and he appeals to all Europeans because he's totally multicultural and non-political. In other words, he is a true European - through and through. Captain EURO symbolises Europe's new popular culture. Europeans will identify with Captain EURO and related characters are applied to almost anything from T-shirts and stationery, to comic books and video games.
Everyone will want to identify with the Captain EURO brand. It brings emotion to the concept of a united Europe, adding value to products and services.
Captain EURO is the super-hero of Europe. He's the protector of Europe who holds out for justice, who promotes peace and carries the message of goodwill around the world.
As Captain EURO and his partner, EUROPA, embark on one mission after another, breath-taking adventures unravel before them. The two take off at a second's (sic) notice, bringing together millions of Europeans and protecting wildlife and the environment as they go. Wherever they are, everyone recognises their distinctive European branding.
Captain EURO makes everyone proud to be European.

I think I actually feel warm and fuzzy now. If it turned out to be an American company doing this life would be sweet.

Why did they get the artists from "The Ambiguously Gay Duo" to do the pen and ink work for Captain Euro?
If Captain Euro was really representive of a typical European, he'd be about 50 years old, on a pension, and childless. He call in sick to work about 20 days a year, he'd take a vacation from superhero work about a month and a half every year, and he'd spend a lot of time loitering at streetside cafes surrounded by tendrils of cigarette smoke while exuding an air of world-weary sophistication. |

He is a multi-millionaire, used to making money no matter if it might involve the suffering of others. Banned and ostracised from the financial world for unprofessional conduct he managed to escape arrest despite his involvement in financial scandal.
Having disappeared for many years, he reappeared as DR D VIDER. He manages a holding company, DIVIDEX, controlling hundreds of different businesses across Europe and beyond.
That's a description of the bad guy.
Damn him.
He creates jobs, invests, and I'll bet he saves too.
I wonder what the "unprofessionial conduct" was. Probably insisting that bosses be allowed to fire incompetents. Or maybe he introduced privatized health insurance so people can choose their own medical treatment and not have to be put on a waiting list.

I particularly like how they managed to work in a deformed untermensch into the villainous gang! Because being a midget, like being an albino, is a sure as heck sign that the dude is evil!
And could somebody tell Captain Euro that the casts from both "Space: 1999" and "The Black Hole" called and that they want their uniforms back? |

It's kind of fun to watch an entire continent combat its inferiority complex.

| What I'd like to know is why the good guys in a comic that wants to reflect the possitive values of being European are wearing baseball uniforms. And very silly ones. |
