Superheros
 

Not sure why I was thinking about this but has anyone ever seen a superhero go to the bathroom either in the comics or movies? Or even alluding to using the bathroom? I can't think of an instance. Maybe they all have super bladders.

Those tights aren't just for looks. They are multi-faceted.

Super absorption?


I'll give Aquaman a pass. We all know he'd just urinate while in the water.

I saw The Phantom Limb use the restroom on the Venture Brothers just last week.

I have no idea what any of that is but I'll take your word for it.

The Phantom Limb is a way better name than I was going to come up with. I'd be The Urinator.

Yes.

yes they evacuate or yes they have super bladders?

It's not just superheroes, dude. It doesn't happen in either film or comics (superhero or no) unless the potential for wacky hijinks is present.

("Who...does...Number...Two...work...for?")

Or yes they have evacuating super bladders?

You'd think once in a while one would be on the can when needed.

Season 6 of "24" is gonna feature Jack Bauer having a severe case of diarrhea and for three straight episodes he is sitting on the toilet.

Excellent point. You are telling me that for all the characters in 24 not a single one drops a duece in that 24 hour period?

Yes, I have seen superheroes alluding to using the bathroom. Rorschach did so in "The Watchmen." Even though he didn't actually use the bathroom (he actually went in there to kill a guy), he did allude to needing to go to the bathroom.

In the "Preacher" comics, while not a superhero, Starr was shown taking a leak. He had to use some sort of valve contraption, however, since his equipment was torn off some how. I forget the particulars.

I'm sure there are others, they probably weren't all that memorable.

Well OK then. You enrich me.

They do so off-screen. Not even Jack Bauer is on-screen for every second of 24. If you really would like to watch a movie about people using the bathroom (or where that is at least a central theme to the movie), I'm sure you can find them on the internets.

The Sims: Superheroes Edition.

*you have to download a patch to enable bathrooms.

Any time, my man. Any time. . .

That's basically the idea, at least in film. It doesn't, generally speaking, add anything to the movie, and one imagines that there would be quite a few irate individuals if they went to see Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, and right before Sam and Frodo scale Mount Doom, Sam goes "Mister Frodo, hold up. I gotta tinkle somethin' awful," followed by ten minutes of hissing steam arising from the lava and Sam sighing with relief ("I ain't had time to tinkle since we left the Shire, Mister Frodo!").

The old B&W's have musical numbers so frequently partly because ten minutes in a set piece cut down on film costs and the expense of changing sets. While frequent urination might achieve the same thing, one suspects that the average filmgoer is much less likely to complain about Gene Kelly singin' in the rain than about Owen Wilson singing while he waters the rosebushes.

I think Juggernaut told Magneto he had to take a leak in X3...didn't he?

Much like nudity, today's cinema lacks gratuitous bathroom scenes and pointless urination.

The one time I met Mr. T, he didn't make any reference to the bathroom. From this, I assume that superheroes don't really go to the bathroom.

I pity the foo who is in the bathroom when I poop!

Since Season 5 already happened, I see that quite impossible.

Now season 6 maybe ;)

I'm not into urination scenes. Mebbe you are.

Mr. T didn't count the chest hairs he had to determine his age infront of you either did he? He better not have. His gold chains is gone for good now.

I got nothing.

Sadly, no video on YouTube...

Superman was flying around and spotted Wonder Woman on the balcony nude getting a tan.

Superman said to himself "I want to hit that." I will fly down real fast and hit it.

So he goes down and does his business and there was a loud scream.

It was the Invincible Man screaming. :)

JB, I love you with all my heart. You're my superhero.

Still waiting for you to screw up and post from your main account while dialed in on your jbmagic modem line.

He even screws up the jokes he posts. At Least he is consistant
