Put Steve Orlando on Deathstroke and I'll read the poo poo out of it.

I'd read the gently caress out of Deathstroke and Midnighter. Make "Stroke of midnight" puns all over the place.

DrProsek posted:Huh, any links for that? I really enjoyed his season and am curious what his thoughts were on it. Marc Guggenheim posted:
Movie Pilot posted:Bennett thought that, regarding Deathstroke, the writers "had a lot of possibilities with Arrow but... they took it in the wrong direction." With just a few minutes of screentime for this fan favourite in Season 3, that was probably true, and instead of having Deathstroke return to wreak havoc, they simply had him sit on the island in prison, unlike the "unstoppable mercenary" from the comics which Manu has expressed he hopes to see. Also I just found out I went to the same school as him.

Deathstroke only has a monthly book because of the major positive fan reaction to his appearance in Arrow seasons 1 & 2. He appears in 1 episode of season 3 that aired a year ago and probably won't be back. the image Stephen Amell released today showing someone that appears to be Deathstroke is reportedly not Manu Bennet in the suit.

What about the Aquaman poo poo Geoff was hyping a couple of months ago? That interview says he hasn't got an ongoing after the Rebirth 80-page thing. He must've been yanked off/removed himself from JL pretty quickly. You got movies to make Johns!

The interview I saw said he was focused on the Rebirth one shot "and then what comes next spinning out of it" which I took to mean the JL/Aquaman thing, but I guess it could have meant anything.

Like I am unspeakably into the possibilities behind the title "BATGIRL & THE BIRDS OF PREY" but it will all be for naught if they put somebody like Meredith loving Finch on there. With art by Tony Daniel.

One or two of the choices for the double-shipping books (as in which books to give that status) are a little weird. I mean, the core Superman, Batman and GL titles, sure, as well as the JL books and the rest of the core League. Doesn't necessarily make sense as not all those books are big sellers, but from a marketing stance, it works because you're throwing oomph behind your 'big names'. And Harley and Suicide Squad make sense because the former IS a big seller, and the latter is a related brand that's going to get a push this year. But Nightwing? Deathstroke? Even accounting for the League thing, Cyborg and Aquaman? Also, in a small, totally silly thing... I really hope they go back to Nightwing's blue outfit.

With art by Tony Daniel. I'll be shocked if some of the talent currently on Black Canary isn't on that book. I'd guess the core team in terms of characters would be Batgirl, BC, the new Oracle, Spoiler and Bluebird, probably with Fletcher on script and Wu on art.

Huh, last year at C2E2 we were told there were weekly Superman and GL books coming. I guess twice a month is as good as we deserve.

I'm really hoping Blue Beetle is Jaime Reyes. I'm okay with Ted Kord being Blue Beetle in JL3000, but I'm upset with how DC has treated Jaime in the new 52.

In a not so blatant copy of the Peter/Miles dynamic in the Marvel books. I'd read the hell out of that. Depending on the writer of course.

I don't think thats true. Deathstroke has been popular since the 90s. He had a long running solo title and frequently appeared in Teen Titans and major event books. What people forget is that a large swath of characters from Deathstroke to Suicide Squad were ignored by Didio in the 00s and only got books again when the New 52 happened. I remember it was a big deal when Deathstroke returned for a beefy role in Identity Crisis. Alucard Nacirema fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Feb 19, 2016 |

Also he had a 12 issue series as a N52 launch that was absolute garbage. And again, the new comic rejuvenated him to be just like TV Deathstroke. Had he not popped up in Arrow he'd never have gotten another ongoing.

The first new 52 book lasted for 21 issues and then just relaunched with a new #1 for a sales boost. It didn't necessarily have anything to do with arrow.

Bruce is depicted as a notorious recluse and there are very few pictures of him available. Clark shows up and everyone agrees that he's Bruce Wayne and it's a big deal that he's actually shown up.

Didn't he think it was Bruce because "He's wearing Bruce's shirt" and "he's a dark haired man standing in a room I'd expect to find Bruce"? Yeah he must have killed quite a few random not-Bruces who were standing in his office in a suit, standing on the deck of the ship, or just wandering around Gotham wearing clothes that looked like clothes Bruce owned.

I'm not saying I'm mad that it didn't make perfect sense, I like American Alien  . I just thought it was kinda funny that it made Deathstroke seem like kinda an incompetent assassin.

Awful lot of grumbling on Twitter about the renumbering, yet I don't remember nearly the same amount for Marvels recent relaunch, which was such a quick turnaround that several books had to number their trade "volume 0". If a creative team is good, I simply can't understand "this book I read has people I like making it and it's a buck cheaper but UGH ANOTHER RENUMBERING, gonna pass on something that would bring me pleasure."

I had been pretty cynical about what REBIRTH might be, but after today I am pretty hype. They seem to be addressing everything that needs to be addressed. I have always said, what makes DC special, its very essence, is legacy. New 52, while it did some things right, just completely obliterated DC's legacy. It seems now that DC might realize that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Well, it has been broken for five years now, and it sounds like they're gonna fix it.
