Shocked I tell you

With the number of times Black Mask and Red Hood have conflicted you might as well just called them arch enemies already.

Anyway if Jason starts murderin guys in Gotham Batman better do something about it.

To be honest however I hope Black Mask just puts their fued to rest and does this again with it actually sticking.

There was also this Artemis from two issues of Teen Titans, which I'm guessing is what Lobdell is using.

That is Artemis Crock the daughter of Sportmaster. (Pre Nu52 she was better known by her super villain name Tigress and was a couple with Icicle. ) She was a major character in the Young Justice animated series and Lobell's use of her in Titans was considered profoundly stupid. (He killed her off in her first appearance. Though according to that wiki thing she was brought back and has done nothing since.)

DC has new logo

DC ENTERTAINMENT INTRODUCES NEW IDENTITY FOR DC BRAND

New Logo Design Celebrates DC Brand’s Past, Present and Future

Logo to Debut on May 25 Release of ‘DC Universe: Rebirth Special #1’ by Geoff Johns

BURBANK, CA, May 17, 2016 – DC Entertainment announced a new identity and logo for its iconic DC brand. The new DC logo is a mark that leverages over 80 years of heritage with an eye toward the future.

“While comics continue to be the heart and soul of DC, the brand has evolved to now stand for powerful storytelling across so many different forms of media. DC is home to the greatest Super Heroes and Super-Villains, and the new logo has the character and strength to stand proudly alongside DC’s iconic symbols,” stated Amit Desai, DC Entertainment Senior Vice President of Marketing and Global Franchise Management. “The launch of the new logo is the perfect tribute to DC’s legacy, exciting future and most importantly, our fans.”

The new logo will debut on the cover of the highly-anticipated DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH SPECIAL #1 comic book written by Geoff Johns releasing May 25 and available in comic book shops and digitally. REBIRTH represents the next chapter in the ongoing saga of the DC Universe, mixing traditional values and a modern aesthetic.

“I’m very proud that REBIRTH will be the first comic book published with the new DC logo.” stated Geoff Johns, DC Entertainment’s Chief Creative Officer. “To me, REBIRTH and the new DC logo are built on what’s come before while looking to what will come tomorrow. I can’t wait for people to see it on the cover.”

The new DC branding will be introduced immediately on various digital platforms, including DC websites, social media channels, DC All Access webseries, and DC All Access app and will continue to rollout worldwide across all DC content and products. One of the many benefits of the new logo design is its versatility to showcase DC’s iconic and timeless characters and stories across all media. Look for the new logo to come to life at key events in the coming months.

The new identity and logo were developed in partnership with Pentagram, the world’s largest independent design consultancy.

:supaburn:


edit: It's obvz better than the peeling-sticker, and Petagram knows what the gently caress they're doing, but...but...eh? Not totally digging the chunky tilted serif at the top of the C. The entirety of that C is a hell of a letterform, and not really in a good way. The circle itself seems too thin, and is a wasted opportunity to do something/anything interesting with the border. Beyond that, it's certainly not a fun logo and it comes off as kind of dour and stern. There's no hint of "rebirth" anywhere. At least it's back to being a solid single color.

I don't know, you can say that DC retcons or reboots itself too often but you can hardly say Marvel's innocent of constant rebranding when they can hardly let a title break 20 issues before slapping a new #1 on there and calling it all-new.

Blocky letters have their place. There's that logo from 72 and 74 that is exactly what they're doing now, but not as good. They could just make the circle smaller, or use the 72 one.

I prefer the '76 but that's the one I grew up with. '05 is a good modern logo. '12 and '16 are both dumb.

You can't blame DC Shoes because DC Comics is both lawyer happy and lawyer dumb.

Glory to Mankind.

I don't read DC but I think their last logo was brilliant in its simplicity- one letter with an implied "page turn" creating both letters, their version of the FedEx arrow or Amazon a to z "smile" that told you what the company was centrally about without outright stating it. The new one looks lovely, and really does feel like DC once again trying to awkwardly copy Marvel's redesigned, simplistic logo.
