If you've ever read JUSTICE LEAGUE then you know that they all take turns at Monitor Duty (huge viewscreeen wall that displays disasters going on pretty much anywhere on Earth) and they all hate it.
I was reading your post and, for no reason I can think of, flashed on a scene from some movie or tv show where a bunch of people (cops?) are watching a tape of something that pretty obviously has turned into a sexual clinch between whoever they're watching. What cracks me up is that they all, at the same time, slowly tilt their heads to the side in an attempt to follow whatever's going on onscreen.
So.
You've got somebody pulling Monitor Duty. Alert comes up that a League member is battling somebody. I suppose they watch stuff like this so they can send in backup if it becomes necessary. Anyway there's a fight and, while it's never really in doubt that the Leaguer will win the outfits are getting torn, there's a lot of sweating and grunting going on...
The obvious thing would be the cliche'd male reaction (oooh, *catfight*!) so the other obvious thing would be that it's Wonder Woman fighting some other powered female -- sorry, I'm not familiar with her rogue's gallery so can't make suggestions -- and a buddy of the guy on Monitor Duty shows up with beer and chips or something (think Flash and Green Lantern) to help pass the time.
Might be funnier if it were a woman on Monitor Duty... Are there enough women in the League now for this to work?
Anyway, there would be scenes of the guys/girls in the monitor room making remarks, maybe making bets on the outcome, followed by more scenes of the fight, and every time you go back to the monitor room there are more people there...
God, I just had another flash -- WEST WING, when Sam is losing his initial debate with Ainsley. "Toby, come quick! Sam's getting his ass kicked by a girl!" "Ginger, get the popcorn!!"
Hope this is useful. If not, forget I said anything. And Happy Holidays to you and yours!
