Some of Americas greatest superheroes came of age in the gritty days of the Depression and World War II. But how different would things be if Superman and Batman been millennials?
Just imagine:
The Bat-signal would regularly go undetected by its intended recipient, lost within a flood of social media streams.
Superman would avoid the DTR (define-the-relationship) talk with Wonder Woman, flee to grad school to wait out the soft economy and ponder his true purpose, and rack up serious student debt.
The embattled mayor of Gotham would feel torn between his productivity goals and his heroes demands for foosball tables, free organic food and fight-from-home options.
The heroes would complain about how they never hear from any interesting arch-villains, while arch-villains would complain that their voicemails never get answered.
And Super-Helicopter parents and Bat-parents would continually swoop in to meddle in situations that they cant trust Junior to handle on his own.
Oh, dont take it personally. Some of my best friends are villainsI mean millennials...

Wow - slow news day...
I guess they’d be asking about their 401Ks, their time off, etc., in addition to being concerned about things like those pansies on that TV commercial for “No-No” hair removal products - like the young guy saying “This is great! It looks like you’ve just had a fresh wax!” Whassup wit dat?
Batman and Robin would ditch Gotham City and move to Key West.
Clark Kent would be continuously late to work.
LOL. And what if they were Baby Boomers? They would buy trillions of dollars worth of equipment and renovations for the Bat Cave and hand the bill to their kids.
Bruce Wayne would have never been able to afford all the Batman stuff because the Inheritance taxes would have eaten up every dime of the family fortune after his ‘rents got murdered.
In this era in which we celebrate homosexuality, would any super heroes be “gay”?
What if Hitler had been “The Obama Girl”?
In this era in which we celebrate homosexuality, would any super heroes be gay?We already have one.
Wonder Woman would be wearing a pink vagina costume.
Batman to Robyn (Robin changes name to reflect PC names) “Does my ass look fat in this outfit?”
Probably so. But it evokes an unadulterated “ewwwwww” reminiscent of seeing a bunch of women on stage reciting “The Vagina Monologues.”
That is such a true video. Just this week I had one of my newer machinists walk off tge job. Apparently he didn’t get enough atta boys or something. He wasn’t even man enough to tell me to my face. Luckily I have a couple trusted guys and it won’t hurt any. I have one millenial that is entry level butlearning the trade and he’s working out great.
Millenials can serve me coffee.
I don’t know what is going on but the Wall Street Journal offices are CLOSED today?
Yes! We don't even need these "what if" theoreticals anymore; reality itself is unimaginable!
