- Hello, Animal Control? I found a suitcase with a mother possum and 2 babies inside.
Animal Control: That's odd. Can you tell if they're moving?
- Honestly, I'm not sure, but it would explain the suitcase.

I'm actually more concerned that the low speed of sound compared to the speed and reaction times of both Flash and Superman renders the whole test invalid even before it's a practical joke.berkeman said:
I think Superman is actually between Batman and the Flash, so it's the guys behind who are in danger (Wonder Woman can deflect bullets, so she's ok).

Get yourself a good cable setup, an app to order food, and you can stay inside for weeks at a time.
