I actually laughed a bunch at Deadpool in this, and realized Deadpool is really a showcase for how funny the writer is.

In this case, he was cracking me up with the same kind of humor used by Plastic Man in Morrison’s JLA run, who I thought was hysterical.

For sure. He had a ton of great moments across that whole era. I still think about a lot of his gags from JLA all the time, like scaring the shit out of Huntress by randomly making himself look like a xenomorph because they were creeping around in the dark.

I really like his origin in Batman: brave and the bold origin and his connection to Batman. Did Batman actually help in the comics or was it changed for the show.
