What's in Batman's DJ bag..er, utility belt?
What's in Batman's DJ bag..er, utility belt? Posted on: 09.08.2012 by Xavier Ponce Warning, nerdery follows. So I was writing the weekly newsletter and realizing that in the superhero world, super-powerless Bruce Wayne is a great way to explain to people (who know superheros but not DJ gear ?) the difference between DJs who are simply pressing play versus those who put in work onstage and put on a great live show. Most superheros rely heavily on their flashy superpowers to be a successful hero - to the point that in a fight, all Superman has to do is show up. Batman relies on his gear, cunning, and tools to help him survive in a battle, since he's constrained by his mortality. This ultimately makes him more interesting than an invincible hero. My brain isn't quite up to fleshing out a full thesis on this at the moment, so all I'm tryna say is: Batman is to Superman what Dubfire is to David Guetta. | |

I would definitely see Richie Hawtin as Mr. Fantastic and Speedy J and Chris Liebing... welll... who knows. All I know is, Jester.NZ and myself would still be running for the role of Thor. (Even though I have already been appointed Thor since "the Avengers" movie. ) |

| Random X 10.08.2012 | In superhero/comic world that would be this guy: To be honest he's not the brightest lamp in the testbed. I believe Richie Hawtin to be a revolutionary believeer, therefore I would say: |

Richie Hawtin as Mr. Fantastic

| Yong Aptekar 09.08.2012 | Pauly D would be the joker for sure. He's got stupid looking hair, and is a clown. |
| Celestine Porebski 09.08.2012 | My question is: who is Rorschach? |
| Random X 09.08.2012 | Jeff Mills would be the Black Panther. Ruthless on the decks & 909; prince of Wakanda. |
| Random X 09.08.2012 | Though Carl is always laughing... no way he could be the Hulk.... |
| Ressie Losiewicz 09.08.2012 | Carl Cox = Hulk, Raw Techno P-P-P-Power! |
| Ressie Losiewicz 09.08.2012 | Bat's got skills, and he had CDJ's in 1992!! |

| Yukiko Beauvil 09.08.2012 | Well guetta sounds very goofy. He would have no luck, if he wasn't David Guetta. |
| Stanley Topoleski 09.08.2012 | hahahaha so true... since superman is bad with women does that make guetta a virgin 0_0 |
| Yukiko Beauvil 09.08.2012 | Nice idea. |
