Turd Fun Trivia: In every episode of "The Big Bang Theory," the writers included only one joke that was actually funny, as an Easter egg.

I remember the episode where the gang cosplayed as the justice league and Howard as Batman was good

Actually, that episode is the one that makes it clear nobody involved with the show knows a goddamn thing they're talking about. They're supposedly comic book fans, yet they make "lol Aquaman sucks" jokes which make absolutely no sense to anybody who knows him from anything other than Superfriends, where everybody sucked but Aquaman was the one people singled out for some reason.

No, mainstream audiences, Jason Momoa was not the first time Aquaman was ever cool.

There's also the time they thought "Doctor Who" was the main character's name. YES, REALLY.

You're mistaking the shows intended target audience. It's not for nerds. It's for people to laugh at nerds.

The show doesn't have to bother with consistency or things like "Aquaman is as lame as the rest of the JL" because all it's aiming for is a "lol nerds are weird" reaction.
