-Reason Nº 35 Why There Ain't No Mexican Super-heroes...
Asti —Whoah,Aquaman! Is the eyepatch part of a full 'bum-pirate' look?
Aquaman —I wish! No,it happened that I got something in my eye,and I forgot I had the hook on...>snif!<

Notes in English
It was clear that when they redesigned Aquaman the people at DC Comics wanted him to look tougher.And he did,but he still looked both as an unshaved bum and a Captain Hook wanna-be.Hence the term 'bum-pirate',which was how me and some friends used to call him.
And yes:Flash is drinking Tequila Cuervo —or more exactly,Tequila The Crow,like the Brandon Lee movie.

Notas en Español
Era bastante claro que cuando rediseñaron a Aquaman,la gente de DC Comics quería que se viera más rudo.Y así fue,pero igual lucía también tanto como un vago sin afeitar,como un simulacro del Capitán Garfio.De ahí el término 'pirata pordiosero',que era como le decíamos yo y algunos amigos.
Y sí:Flash está bebiendo Tequila Cuervo —o más precisamente,Tequila The Crow,como en la película de Brandon Lee.

Caption —The place:The airport,during the return of the national soccer team right after playing in the FIFA World Cup...
Moans —>Ugh!< >Penalty!< >Mercy!< >Mommy!<
Superman —Stop waving that white flag,the goal massacre is over!!
Asti —...we're live on TV,coach Richards,What do you say about the bad performance of the national team?
Mr. Fantastic —Gee...It wasn't our fault,How could we know that Brazil's team had Dr. Doom as their coach?
Background —Gate 2
-Reason Nº 32 Why There Ain't No Mexican Super-heroes...(and even if there were,they'll never would win a game in the group stage of the FIFA World Cup)

Notes in English
Soccer is the most popular sport in Mexico.Oddly,the national team (supposed to be a dream team of the best players in all the country) that participates in any international tournaments hardly wins any games.
Mexican fans are used to it though,but it is always fun to hear the excuses from the different coaches —in a cynical way at least.

Notas en Español
El soccer es el deporte más popular en México.Extrañamente,la selección nacional (supuestamente un equipo de ensueño con los mejores jugadores de todo el país) que participa en todo torneo internacional difícilmente gana al menos un partido.
Los hinchas mexicanos ya están acostumbrados de todos modos,pero siempre es divertido escuchar las excusas de los diversos directores técnicos —al menos desde una postura cínica.

Asti —Good morning Flash! Ah,by the way,watch your step as I've just waxed the floor!
Flash —Come off iiiiiiiiiiiit!
Sound effect & caption — >Darn it!< (remember this,kids:when falling down speed doesn't kill you but the sudden stop!)
Bucket —Property of JLA's Janitorial Cleaning Service

Notes in English
Accidents with slippery floors are not exclusive of Mexico,but too many Mexican janitors are specialists in cleaning floors exactly when other people need to walk over there.

Notas en Español
Los accidentes con pisos resbalosos no son exclusivos de México,pero muchísimos consejes mexicanos son especialistas en ponerse a limpiar los pisos en el momento justo en que más gente necesita caminar por ahí.

Jay Garrick Flash —WALLY! WALLY! Darkseid is attacking Pemex Tower!
Wally West Flash —That's not in our borough...let the X-men or the WildC.A.T.s take care of that!! Grab a seat,'Ventaneando' is on!
TV —Guess who I saw Wonder Woman with?
-Reason Nº 6 Why There Ain't No Mexican Super-heroes...

Notes in English
The Pemex Tower is a skyscraper in Mexico City,and until 2003 it used to be the tallest building in the city.
Now,the city itself is divided into 16 delegations or boroughs,so you can guess it sometimes creates jurisdiction and bureaucracy problems.
'Ventaneando' ("Indiscreet-windowing") is a very popular gossip show.

Notas en Español
La Torre de Pemex es un rascacielos de la Ciudad de México,y hasta el 2003 solía ser el edificio más alto de la ciudad.
Ahora,la ciudad está divida en 16 delegaciones administrativas,así que ya se imaginarán que a veces surgen problemas de jurisdicción y burocracia.
'Ventaneando' es un programa de chismes de celebridades muy popular.
