I just read that the greatest WTF writer of all time, Bob Haney has died.

Haney, creator of Metamorpho and the Teen Titans, is also the writer responsible for some of my personal favorite "WTF"s over the years:


    The Super-sons (teenaged sons of Superman and Batman who were later revealed to be computer simulations come to life);

    Thomas Wayne, Jr, Batman's retarded brother, who was later possessed by Deadman;

    The time that Atom brought a brain dead Batman back to life by jumping around in his brain;

    The issue of Brave and Bold where terrorists decided the most efficient way to kill Batman would be to kidnap artist Jim Aparo, and force him draw Batman's death.


Seriously, I goof on these stories, but I always had a soft spot for them, and for Haney.
