    I know the photoshopped but I don’t get this one. It’s not a creative play on their request for superman, Aquaman, and the flash

      Yeah, I thought the joke in this one was weaker than usual too.

      I guess Aquaman as a firefighter makes sense, and so does a Flash as a delivery man, but Superman as a doctor isn’t as clear.

        I understood it as just being that doctors are superheroes cause of the nature of their work, superman just being your most generic type of superhero. though the interpretation works better if it was a nurse imo.

        I assumed it was because doctors save lives and that’s kind of what Superman is known for even though that’s not necessarily a specific trait

      Yeah, if he just requested them to look like superheroes, it would be fine, but he requested specific ones.

      Also, there’s a person whose favorite superhero is Aquaman? Really?
