And Now, The Gnus.



A steel-drum rendition of a typical nightly news theme can be heard - a familiar antennaed silhouette sits behind a desk, holding a stack of papers. As the lights come up, the three-piece suit and bad toupee are revealed.

"Good evening. Our top story tonight - famed comic book writer Mark Millar has been killed in the Marvel Universe, causing a spontaneous outpouring of joy amongst the heroes of that world. When asked to comment on the seemingly out-of-character celebration of a human being's death, several sources simply shrugged and said that it made for 'a better story.' More on that as it develops."

He looks to his co-anchor, a familiar mute kewpie doll in a red superhero jumpsuit - ALSO wearing a bad toupee. "I'm Ambush Bug, and this is my co-anchor, Cheeks. Welcome to WTDC Channel 5 News. Other hard-hitting stories, sports, and weather, all coming up next. Stay tuned."

"Sure, spoil all my fun.."

"Well, I'm down here in Gotham, at the home of the Gotham Knights, and it looks like the Knights are in good shape this year. They're sporting all new deluxe equipment, too - where do they get those wonderful toys?"

"You're probably right. Still, with all this shiny equipment.. and a team with such potential - I'm somewhat tempted to pull off one of my signature heists. You know, steal the whole stadium.."

Sportsmaster mutters under his breath, trailing off.

"Temperatures will remain warm and mild through the day, and slightly cool overnight. Then, tomorrow, there's a 90 percent chance of rain and larceny!"

The Weather Wizard laughs diabolically.

He stops laughing.

"Well, we're a FOX affiliate."

"High humidity will give us plenty to sweat about, and occasional thunderstorms. And on Saturday, Keystone City has a 100% chance of a blizzard. You hear that, Flash?"

Thunder rumbles in the studio.
