Literally The Worst posted:oi don't say comics when you mean dc. dc is the one jacking their past off with one hand and writing with the other. dc is the one that got called out on it ten years early in DKSA. DC is the one who put out a comic in 2016 that's mostly an "homage" to watchmen by a writer who missed the point spectacularly. Please keep repeating yourself. I don't think anyone quite gets how much you hate DC yet, despite it being your only purpose in coming to this thread.

As a New 52 closer, did anyone else enjoy Gotham by Midnight?

I hate the company and the direction they have been going in for the last while, I still enjoy some of the things they own which leaves me constantly being disappointed Also I'm sorry I broke up the litany of people saying they liked this book somehow

Like I love Superman. He is the best. Arguments to the contrary are wrong. I wish the company responsible for the direction of the character wasn't loving stupid so that I would stop having my heart broken

Travis343 posted:Like Snyder's pretty good and all. But his Batman is a copy of a copy, an unironic imitation of a deliberate inversion of the way comics haven't actually been in decades. As someone who (for the most part) really liked Snyder's Batman, could you explain what in the world you mean here? Are you saying it's bad? Or that he's trying to be Moore or something?

Gaz-L posted:No mention of a JSA or Legion book, which is weird when like 8 pages of the one-shot were devoted to setting up that those groups exist (except the LoSH already existed, considering they had 2 ongoings at the start of the Nu52, right?) The LOSH from the beginning of the new 52 was from a different Earth (It was strongly hinted to be Earth-2). There was also the LOSH that was in Morrison's Action Comics run which was completely different from the other version. The Morrison LOSH's Saturn Girl also was hanging around in the past like the one in Rebirth.

The Pak/Kuder run was tainted by an enormously idiotic crossover with Doomsday Superman right in its middle and, in general, that run lacked any focus or long-term plan. Also the Superman line is edited by a serial harasser Eddie Berganza

X-O posted:It's not a Titan graduation thing. It's a "from the beginning" thing. And there's several other good characters you can put into the Justice League to diversify them. John Stewart or Mister Terrific immediately jump to mind. And Mister Terrific also fills the exact same tech niche that Cyborg fills. John Stewart? Are you implying that a Green Lantern other than HAL JORDAN, the Greatest Green Lantern, could even be fit to stand on the Justice League? HERESY! To the Phantom Zone with ye! Gaz-L posted:NO I still weep uncontrollably when that is mentioned. Curse you. Dammit, Gates of Gotham rather blatantly set up that Cass & Tim were going to be A Thing moving forward. I was wondering how they'd handle Steph reacting to her BFF dating her ex, but nope, Kwitney drunk the nostalgia kool-aid (it's not just for the Silver Age any more!) and went right back to the old status quo (despite Steph & Tim moving past it in their own books). Wasn't the story titled something trite like 'the love song of Stephanie Brown'?

Or that he's trying to be Moore or something? His stuff is overall good, I've only really disliked his two Joker stories, but it's very easy to see Dark Knight Returns' DNA in his work. He's probably the highest profile, celebrated writer they have now but even he can't seem to shake it off. Even the way Capullo draws Batman is very inspired by Miller's art. It's what he read when he was a kid, just like silver age comics were what Miller read that influenced DKR. And that's understandable to a point but it's still a pretty superficial influence, and I would love to see it put on the shelf for a while.

I think if anyone wrote or drew Batman in a way where you COULDN'T see Miller's influence, we'd hear no end of complaints from people saying they didn't understand the soul of the character and it's change and change is bad etc etc.

It's still a reboot universe, more than 10 years of history went away with Flashpoint. It's just a reboot universe with ten additional years no one knew about. Which makes sense, maybe the dumbest thing about the New 52 was that all this poo poo supposedly happened in 5 years, and Batman had 4 Robins in that time, etc. People in New 52 still remember like, WW2 and stuff, and there weren't superheroes running around like there were pre-Flashpoint.

Have a Tornado appear on Kent Farm and when it leaves Superman finds a mysteriously youthful Jonathan Kent there. His first words are "did the dog make it out okay?"

It was easily the best Superman comic I've read in years. I can't tell you whether it was since All Star came out because I don't remember what other comics fall in that timeline. It's easily better than anything I sampled in the New 52. And that's not just because the New 52 stuff I sampled was bad.

GMo's action comics came out in the meantime, and if it wasn't for rear end taking four fuckin years i could say JLA/Hitman
