If a band covered that song right now and DC were cool with them making a `motion comic’ film clip of the above panels, it’d go straight to number one. World wide. Id get onto that now If I were you.
*claps*
Astounding.
How long has this been in the works?
Calling MTV! We have your Ticket to Ride right here!
PS
I have always thought of the Terrible Trio as the Supremes of the super-villain backup singers.
You win the Internet. Again.
Batman’s only my second-favorite gay Zoroastrian singer.
Freddie’ll always be #1, baby.
This was a de-LIGHT. And that last panel? Somehow, bizarrely sweet and hugely uncomfortable at the SAME TIME.
Well played.
Second panel up from the bottom is Aparo, right? I love the agonized expressions he used to draw for Batman. My God. Clearly Batman knows pain in ways the average man never will…
I will see Maddy’s *claps* and raise a *slow clap* and a hearty “Oh, GOD, yes.”
Chris, you make the rockin’ world go round.
Why thank yo–HEY WAIT A MINUTE!
I realized my tweet about this post makes me sound like the crabby old fart who only wants to hear the classic hits, so let me clarify: Wowzers.
Thanks Chris, that was fan-fricking-tastic. So awesome, it deserved two hyphens.
Awesome.
You passed the test… first time!
Is Batman covering Queen more awesome than Archie covering Pulp? Signs point to HELL, YES.
Why do I find this so amusing?
Why?
PURE AWESOME.
You did Freddie proud. *holds up a lighter*
And with that humanity reached the pinnacle of its existence.
Well done. But how about Daredevil and Elektra doing “Common People”?

*standing ovation*
This is why you’re the best around, Chris Sims. Nobody’s ever gonna get you down.
I shed a tear.
Well, I wanted it all and you were under pressure to rock us with your one vision about a crazy little thing called love. And, now I’m here, in a flash you spread your wings and broke thru headlong with a kind of magic – a miracle – full of innuendo. I’m full of jealousy and I may be going slightly mad but, Chris, you’re my best friend!
Well done.
a beautiful way to start a terrible day
Yeah; I put on the song & scrolled through as the lyrics came up. Hell yeah.
Panel 7: Batman seems to be having trouble getting his cape through the window. Too much starch?
This is a thing of great beauty.
oh god that last panel no why noooooo
This is really why we have an Internet.
You are the champion, my friend.
Chris, whatever you’re doing right now, I’d like you to stop, jump up in the air and pump your fist, and then freeze in mid-air for a few minutes while the A-Team theme music plays in the background. You’ve earned it.
That is so awesomely wrong man. I love it!
You’re a genius ;)
golf clap
Maybe next time Bats can favor us with a rendition of “Fat Bottomed Girls.”
It is clearly daytime. He is clearly at the races.
Followed this while listening to the song on my ‘pod. *Applauds* Congratulations, you amazing sir.
It’s over; I have to stop browsing the internet, I’m never going to find something more awesome than this. Thanks Chris for ruining the Internet for me…
This is why it’s called the Invincible Super-Blog, guys and gals.
Good work Sims.
I loaded the music video up on youtube and read it while listening. Pure WIN.
Chris, have you read Freddie and Me? You might like it.
You’d probably also like Mike Dawson’s Ace Face: the Mod with the Metal Arms.
So, last night, my fiancee and I read this again, while listening to the song.
It was the most romantic moment of my life.
(standing ovation)
BRAVO! BRAVISSIMO!
Chris, have you read Freddie and Me? You might like it.
I have! I’ve described it as “the only autobiographical comic I’ve ever read that I didn’t hate.” By which I mean I loved it.
I bought it from Dawson at HeroesCon last year, and he even did a sketch of Freddie that said “good luck with the comic!” So by that logic, Freddie Mercury is a fan of the Action Age.
Can’t argue with that logic.
I love you Chris! I’d help you find somebody to love.
Haven’t trolled this blog for 2 weeks, & now I come back & see this…. I should never have left! Thanx, Chris!
MAKE MINE ISB!!!!!
I laughed like a loon.
But then again, I -am- a loon.
Suddenly I really want to try this using one of the songs from “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea”, but probably won’t because there’s no way in hell that it’d be a fraction as funny as this is.
Terrifically done. Wow!
Absolutely Brilliant! I can so imagine Freddie Mercury in a batman costume singing on stage…
Well done, one of my all time fave bands and heroes combined. All i ask is you look into the possibility of the joker singing i want to break free as an encore
this made my day. I love you.
Awesome! Who knew Batman could sing like Freddie Mercury?
This was so awesome I had to do this:

Awesome! Honestly, try making this into something… ya never know.

I know I’m late to this, BUT GOOD LORD I LOVE THIS.
Watched while listeing to the song was amazing
You made my night. Thank you!!! <3
HOLY CRAP
My mind is blown.
You sir win three Internets.
The second to last panel, he looks like he’s in pain because he just tried to punch Superman in the chin, almost broke his hand.
Does anyone else find themselves playing the song in their head as they read this?
Epic, by the way. Just plain epic.
