I'm going to tell you a little story. I had the strangest dream last night. I was from another planet and I could fly, but it wasn't Krypton, but then I found out later that I was actually a clone of a being from another planet. Oh, the little references my subconscious conjures up. So I could fly, which was AWESOME, even though I don't really remember much of it. If I could have any superpower, it would be the power of flight. Who wouldn't want to be able to just step into the air and glide upward and around and wherever they wanted?
Back to the story. The entire earth had previously been taken over by these people, no idea who they were, in this epic huge battle that involved the entire JL and probably the rest of the DC heroes and Daredevil, because he creeps into my dreams in weird places. These people apparently weren't that bad to be ruled by, I mean I didn't see any oppressed peoples in chains trudging down highways or anything while I was flying around. I was just cruising with Green Lantern for no reason, one of those random superhero meetings that usually ends in a fatefully epic huge battle for the survival of the human species, and low and behold somehow we find out the new rulers of the Earth are going to nuke everything to all hell. Why? I have no idea.
We travel to Target and there we meet up with the head (who happened to be the principle from my school, don't ask) of some vastly important government agency within the planet-wide government. She takes us behind the pretzel counter to a secret door that leads into a lab where she has been hiding a battle-scared Martian Manhunter and Cyborg. J'on had this weird skin thing going on where he had turned white, I think he was really severely burned during the battle against the world-rulers. Cyborg had a massive scar on his face and some of his tech was perminantly messed up, but other than that he seemed okay. Cyborg tells us that he's working on a plan to disable all the missles before they launch via hacking into the world-ruler's system but it's going to take a while, and in the mean time Martian Manhunter shows us this plant thing we have to go get from Mars. It was odd-like the giant crab things (Mad Carpace, I think) from Lost Odessey in the Sea of Baus. Talk about obscure video game references. Anyway, it was breathing and it was squishy. Thus I dubbed it squishy plant. I sent GL off to get the squishy plant and staid behind, probably to try and help if Cyborg didn't manage to hack into the world-ruler's system in time.
I joined up with the Flash, and then all of a sudden all these huge black tanks came out of nowhere. There were thousands of them, covering every inch of the planet and running over anything and everything in their path. I don't remember any of them ever actually firing, thank God. The blast would've been tremendous. These tanks-when I say huge I mean huge. Something like 25' x 50' x 20'. This picture of them doesn't really do them justice, but I wanted to give you a general idea, plus I had a burst of inspiration.They were terrifying. Some of them were pulling trailers with artillery and I think one was loaded with bars of gold, and there was only about a foot or two of space between them in their formation they were doing. I was flying really carefully and slightly panicking because I nearly got squashed between them a few times, but the Flash was just zipping along without a care in the world on the ground below me, which drove me nuts because I wasn't nearly as fast as he was. Not faster than a speeding bullet, sorry boys and girls.
We hijacked a tank, which was awesome, and drove it out of formation. A bunch of other tanks started chasing us, so we just plunged into the woods along one of those big open spaces they cut through forests for powerlines. Flash did something to the other tank's GPS so it couldn't track us, but it didn't do much good because we were crashing around and running over trees and making a cacophony of noise. We were pretty obvious and easy to trail, so three or four tanks were following us. Then I woke up with the vague impression that the world-ruler had nuked everything and GL hadn't gotten back in time. Or rather, knowing that there would be no way any of us could stop the world-ruler, Martian Manhunter had sent GL off for the plant because it could remove radiation and cure radiation sickness.
And that was my incredibly vivid, strange dream. Bats and Supes were never present, only in that little reference by my subconscious at the beginning of the dream, which isn't actually that odd. Compared to the massive amount of dreams I've had about superheroes without Bats and Supes, they've only ever been in a few. I think Supes has only been in one. Anyway, the black tanks really stuck in my head, for some bizarre reason, and I think they'll probably creep into a story of mine at some point.

P.S. I'll add a picture of GL's weird costume later. If I can draw a human being that I'm satisfied with. That costume is now my design for my fanfiction.
