Mr Hootington posted:Is Luthor a good guy? I'm confused by what he did in Nu52 He won the day in Forever Evil and worked with the Justice League in the final run from issue #30. In the Darkseid War, he got warped up to Apokolips, found a tribe of Apokoliptians who were prophesied to be led by Superman and went "That's me!" They gave him that suit and a Mother Box that somehow he made say "Lex" instead of "ping."

Edge & Christian posted:It *was* monthly, but it was Batman selling like hotcakes because of the TV show, which is something that actually happened in the 1960s/1970s. That was kind of a bad example because it's more than double the average monthly sales of Batman a few years earlier (or later) were more in the 400,000 range, which when you do the adjusted-for-inflation stuff is essentially as lucrative as selling a little over 100,000 copies a month of most books. Which is *still* a great thing in the current market, but it's also comparing Best Sellers to Best Sellers. There were a lot of books selling in the low 200k/high 100k back in the Good Old Days too.

Really GL and Batman were the two points of absolute confusion in the N52 change because Johns and Morrison still had stories going. Morrison just kept writing Inc. like nothing happened (except for everyone changing costumes and Steph Brown and Cass Cain vanishing) while Johns kept writing GL like nothing had happened while still referencing the past and just presumably just praying that he never hit a continuity error too noticeable. Something something hypertime.

They really should have waited for those storylines to finish before the New 52 began. Snyder's run on Batman was great, but it would have benefitted from a total fresh start. As it is, Batman has raised three teenage boys to adulthood, met Talia and had a now 13 year old kid with her in the span of ~6 years.

Waiting for the N52 was not an option as a good number of the books were literally thrown together in a week to make the launch date.

I feel like 80% of interviews with DC editorial in the past five years can be accurately summed up by that scene in the pilot of Aqua Teen Hunger Force where Frylock is questioning a perp's motives and Shake just rolls around on the ground going UGH, WHY DOES ANYONE DO ANYTHING? WHO CARE? The other twenty percent were this.

When Dr. Manhattan was siphoning 10 years of time and love and hope from the DCU, he liked what was happening to Batman and the earthbound Green Lanterns (but not Alan Scott) and wanted to see how it played out so he only took the time but NOT their lives from them even though it doesn't make much sense. Come on, why is this so hard to understand???

Hal didn't just become a Green Lantern in JL #1. I didn't read his DCYou series, but I don't think an adjusted 'Batman: Zero Year' type deal has been presented for him. Just him telling Convergence'd Zero Hour Parallax "Our Coast City was blown up too and I went bad a lil bit. I feel you." e: Damian Wayne just had his 13th birthday in Rebirth. Six or seven-ish years is a comic lifetime. ee: Anyone read Finch Wonder Woman to the end? I bet baby Zeke still hasn't aged a day since 2011.

Yeah I just read GL #50 and our Hal mentions to pre-Flashpoint Parallax Hal that his Coast City was also destroyed and he rebuilt it. I assume he didn't kill the whole Corps to do that though. I guess it's just chalked up to "well some similar enough poo poo happened that Kyle still happened". E: and New Guardians 1 gives a 2-page retelling of his origin showing Ganthet with a bunch of dead GLs. I should probably stop thinking about this. E2: poo poo though Hal doesn't recognize Parallax at all so whatever happened to coast city and made Kyle happen didn't involve Parallax.

Hal Jordan is a dumb character and I can't muster the care to give a gently caress about his continuity. That is how I handle his New 52 issues.
