And now, a joke only DC Readers will get...

From Hanzi Smatter by way of a friend's livejournal:

Surprised by the translator’s choice of using [chinese characters] as “Jordan”, I asked Scott if that was a mistake.

?? ????? (n) downstream; lower reaches of a river; lower classes

He replied in a second email that this was indeed not a mistake. He also told me he got the translations from Eri Takase.

  3. *Gasp* You're never supposed to give context! Not for that panel!

  4. In my defense, Scipio posted the context the first time he posted the picture and I'm wrong, it wasn't Flash's fanny, but the Buns of Steel.
