Even Batman and Superman Were Awkward in High School
DC's Batman and Superman are seen by many as role models and classic icons of the Golden Age of Comics — but even they had their moments of awkwardness in high school. Considered opposites in their outlooks and approaches yet never failing to work together to defeat evil (unless they see each other as evil and fight one another, as seen in The Dark Knight Returns), Batman and Superman rarely make mistakes or commit social faux pas in public. But in Wonder Twins #1, both Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne admit they experienced their share of problems in high school.
The Wonder Twins are a pair of aliens from the planet Exxor with a very long history in comics beginning in 1996. Most, however, will remember them from their debut in the television show The All-New Super Friends Hour in 1977. The two are metamorphs; Zan can transform into water (in any state and temperature), and Jayna can transform into any animal, even beasts from mythology — but the pair can only use their powers when together. Both have a sunny disposition, are rather naive to the customs of Earth, and approach most situations with excitement and optimism, sharply contrasting with the other members of the Justice League.

Zan embarasses himself in front of the track team, but Batman and Superman console him.«When I was in high school, I had a crush on a girl named Becky Muldoon. I'd space out in English class, just
