Something called The Wood has posted a group interview with the members of Sea Ray, NYC’s next hot band du jour. As I’ve mentioned before, I went to college with Greg and I-Huei from the band, and this interview is classic Greg.
He’s completely silent on band-related matters, until this question is posed to the group:
Who would win in a fight, Batman or The Green Lantern?
I-Huei: Peter Katis, who is helping us record some songs, could beat them both, at the same time, with his mind.
Jordan: You’d have to ask Greg.
Colin: The Green Lantern. You have to back an underdog now and again.
Greg: Really, now. The World’s Greatest Detective would take the Emerald Warrior, easy. His superior intellect would allow him to devise a plan to nullify the effects of GL’s power ring, which doesn’t work on anything that is yellow. I mean, shit, all Bats would really have to do is knock him out with a yellow Batarang. Duh.
(Greg is then silent for the remainder of the interview.)

Greg is right though. There's even a whole storyline in the comic books detailing how Batman devised plots on how to subdue all of his fellow Justice League teammates, including Superman, the Flash, and others. A really good read. Read it for the ending alone. That series has been collected in a tradepaperback called JLA: Tower of Babel. Duh.
(This is the part where you say, "What a fucking GEEK!" And then I ask, "Can you say fuck?" To which you reply, "In this case, 'fucking' explains just how geeky you are, so, yes, I can." To which i would answer, "Oh. Fuck.") Okay. I'll shut up now.
