  1. That is more that 5 letters for #9, or did you mean #10?
  2. Nope, all of your answers are making the same incorrect assumption. Remember, all of these have two parts a cryptic part and a more straight forward clue (often simply a synonym of the answer). You will get this one eventually.
  3. Ha ha, This one is a little Batman heavy, unintentionally. No, it is not that.
  4. Ha EDM! I totally see where you got that from, unfortunately your are incorrect. My answer is a little more cryptic. When you get it you will know.
  5. You are doing great! It is wonderful to see some new folks trying these as well as the usual suspects I just wanted to give you a chance to add the reasons. I will give them here: Of course, Plainglazed, you got this one.
  6. Although the answers have the theme "superheroes", the clues are not necessarily superhero references. In this case the clue has nothing to do with Batman. Cryptic clues have two parts, a cipher part that is an obscured version of the answer using wordplay, anagrams , etc. and a clue part that is a more literal type of clue. Edited for grammar. -HM
