Panel 1 (header banner): POSSIBLE...
Batman (in a thought/speech bubble, holding a grappling-hook gun and crouched near a tall building): NOW, IF I CAN JUST REACH THE ROOF, I CAN CLIMB DOWN THE INNER WALL, KNOCK OUT THE JOKER FROM BEHIND, AND NOTIFY THE POLICE BEFORE HE COMES TO.
Panel 2 (header banner): REALISTIC:
(No dialogue. Batman has fired his grappling-hook gun point-blank into the Joker's open mouth; the hook and line are jammed through the Joker's head, blood spraying out the back. The Joker's hands are raised in shock.)
Votey:
A woman stands at a whiteboard. Thought bubble above her: GREAT OBSERVATION!
She has written on the whiteboard: BATMAN IS UNREALISTIC

A two-panel SMBC comic about Batman. Panel one is labeled "POSSIBLE...": Batman crouches with a grappling-hook gun beside a tall building and thinks a careful plan: "Now, if I can just reach the roof, I can climb down the inner wall, knock out the Joker from behind, and notify the police before he comes to." Panel two is labeled "REALISTIC:": Batman has fired the grappling hook point-blank into the Joker's open mouth, the hook punching through his head with blood spraying out the back while the Joker recoils in shock. The joke is that a grappling-hook gun used on a person would be lethal, not a tidy knockout. Votey: a woman at a whiteboard thinks "GREAT OBSERVATION!" after writing "BATMAN IS UNREALISTIC."
