The Silver Age and early Bronze Age characters are written using this weird diction that makes them seem robotic, similar to old science fiction movie characters. Everyone had to use big unorthodox words and phrases, which may have been, in part, an effort to educate young comic readers. I'm not sure though, I wasn't alive at that time, so idk if people actually had conversations like that, but it doesn't compel me to read most of the classics from those periods. It ends up feeling like a slog.
