Good Evening, unlucky ponies


It was a beautiful afternoon in Canterlot. Duper Ink was browsing the library's comic book section. He smiled as his brown eyes gazed upon the newest issue of Supercolt. He picked it up with his hooves. The comic's cover had an earth pony standing on its hind feet on a rock. The pony was brown with a short slick black mane. Supercolt wore a blue uniform and a red cape. There was a white triangle with a red S on his t-shirt.

Duper Ink looked at the title of the comic. "Supercolt, the Injustice Begining," the green unicorn read.

He felt a knot in his stomach at the title. He scanned the cover again and noticed a few skulls lying on the ground. There was also an eclipse behind Supercolt. Normally, the covers would have the sun. Duper Ink also took notice that the hero's expression looked grimmer than usual.

Duper Ink grew a wicked grin. He carried the comic over to the counter. The unicorn scanned the book on the register. Then, he used magic to levitate his library card to the scanner. The card was easily recognized. A small receipt printed out with the return date on it. He snatched the paper with his teeth and stuck it in his mouth. He then spat it out into a nearby trashcan. The colt knew that the return date was two weeks from the check out date.

The colt picked up his new comic book and turned around. His face was filled with glee as he saw his marefriend looking at the comic section. Though, he slowly grew a frown as he saw what her comic choice was. Pure Hope levitated a comic over to him. She giggled as her coltfriend came into view.

Her comic had a beige pegasus on it. The pegasus wore a blue suit and bat mask. The hero looked serious as a silhouette of an earth pony stood in the background. He stood in front of a few buildings.

"Batpony, an Injustice Legacy," the title read.

Pure Hope gently placed the comic down. She turned to Duper Ink and saw his comic. The unicorn grumbled at her.

"How can you prefer Batpony over Supercolt? Batpony has no powers and Supercolt's strength is limitless," the green pony growled. His growling caused the princess to squeak.

"I love Batpony's antagonist, The Prankster," Hope replied.

"Supercolt would instantly kill The Prankster when given the chance," Duper stated.

Pure Hope rolled her eyes. She checked out the comic book. "At least my comic hero isn't afraid of green rocks," she sang while grabbing the receipt.

The librarian unicorn grew tired of their bickering. The librarian was a unicorn with a green body and purple mane. His cutie mark was a closed brown book with a red bookmark sticking out the top. The station let out a deep sigh.

"Can you two please keep it down," Bookmark said.


The couple left the library. As they walked down the street of Canterlot, they continued to debate. Duper Ink opened up his comic and flipped through the pages. His jaw dropped and pupils shrunk. The comic slipped out of his hooves and landed face down on the sidewalk. Pure Hope looked and gagged at the imagery.

On the last panel on the page, was a wide strip picture. The picture showed Supercolt punching a hole through an earth pony's chest. Batpony was behind Supercolt, looking in worry. The gadget user pony had a hoof on Supercolt's shoulder, trying to pull superhero away.

The deceased earth pony that Supercolt just killed was a gray stallion. He had a short green spiked up mane. He wore red lipstick and was smiling while dying. The pony wore a dark green open jacket with a white shirt. A single tear fell down Pue Hope's left eyelid as she saw it.

"Some hero you got," she whimpered. She whipped the tear away. "Batpony never kills."

Duper Ink scooped his comic back up. He closed the book and continued walking. The princess slowly followed him. She couldn't shake away the graphic imagery. Anytime she closed her eyes, she saw it.

"I'm sorry that you had to see that," Duper Ink said.

"Prankster was technically a terrorist, yes, but that was the point," the female said.

"Did he ever have a reason for his actions?"

"Well, he never received a canon backstory."

Suddenly, they walked past the local movie theater. The couple was gonna ignore it and go home, but a certain poster caught their attention. They turned their heads and saw a giant poster on the outside of the theater. The poster had a white bald stallion on it. He wore underwear and a red cape. The pony was also a bit fat.

"Seems like there is a Captain Underpants movie," the unicorn pointed out.

"Oh, I love Captain Underpants," the princess of hope cheered.

"Yeah, so do I!"

The two ponies nuzzled noses together. They magically placed their comics away. Thankfully, they had the same logic of where Sonic kept his rings and chaos emeralds. As the two walked towards the theater doors, they noticed another superhero movie poster on the left of the Captain Underpants one.

It was of a grown earth pony mare. She had long wavy black hair and a yellow coat. The mare was wearing a red shirt and boots. She held a sword and a shield. The shield had stars in a circle.

"Looks like there is also a Wonder Mare movie out," the princess stated.

"Fuck it, people only like the movie cause it's a female superhero," Duper Ink stated.


Made due to purehope125 and me fighting over if live action or animated movies are better. I decided to give her Batman, because of her love for the Lego Batman Movie. I even place in various references to Injustice, a series where Superman turns evil.
