Chef’s Note: It is one of the particular delights of a comic book food archaeologist to discover moments when superhero abilities are utilized for culinary ends.
How awesome, then, is it that we get to see Batman here utilizing his Worlds Greatest Detective skills (safe-cracking) to liberate a stash of Chocos cookies for his bosom buddies?
And Diana “Of course it should be me” Prince scheming for the first bite? Adorable.
Also, Clark telling Batman to loosen his belt? I feel like Mr. Kent just got played. Because now Batman can have all the cookies he wants. He’s covered all his tracks – stone cold ninja style.
“He doesn’t have to know.”
Better hope he doesn’t find out.
Chef’s Note: Happy National Oreo Day!
Onomatopoeia: CRUNCH
All the cookie safe-cracking sounds are rendered so nicely, but not the crunch?
Chocos deserve better. 2 stars (★★)
