ImpAtom posted:A lot of villains are Justice League threats who inevitable ends up jobbing to non-leaguers at some point. I'm pretty sure Amazo and Despero have both gotten their poo poo wrecked for example. I think Doctor Light actually started out as somebody who could beat the Justice League before being downgraded to a kinda sometimes competent Teen Titans villain, and then had that really dumb retcon applied to explain that.

When Light was in the original Suicide Squad, he was portrayed as a pathetic loser, desperate for approval and resentful over constantly getting his rear end kicked by kid heroes (to the point where he killed a teen hero in a fight because he was terrified of being beaten by a kid again). Ostrander eventually killed him off, and then of course came Identity Crisis to redeem him as Doctor Light, Super Rapist.

Have any origins or adaptions tried to make Supergirl and Powergirl sisters? I think one continuity had them as cousins, but why not? It seems much easier way of introducing the two.

I've never read Injustice, but Injustice 2 #5 is supposed to be about the Ted Kord Blue Beetle, my favorite character. The comic was solicited with a July 5th date, but it says "Digital First." Do those comics ever come out in print, ideally as singles?

The digital issues are shorter than a print issue so they bundle I think 3 together at a time for the print releases.

Ted could make for a great premier skin for Batman in the game. Pretty confident he gets killed in the comic though since Jaime is in it.

Then make him kiss the Latino boys and break down crying because he realizes he'll never be as cool. Edit: I love Ted but he's kind of like the Hank Pym of DC, where's he much more interesting as an ex Super Hero & supporting character than a current one and main character. good day for a bris fucked around with this message at 15:35 on May 3, 2017 |

Does Batman Brave and the Bold have the highest permanent hero deaths in any animated DC adaption? I'm trying to find a complete list but like I'm watching youtube clips and some characters die in cold openings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ2GFf8iZFA

Yeah, Blue Beetle III and BB II have entirely different movesets. If you're not familiar with Ted, just remember that Nite Owl from Watchmen was based on him.

CapnAndy posted:Yeah you'd think that, but man is the current Blue Beetle book bad. Oh, it's loving dire, but Jaime's books haven't been good since Rogers left the first time. I'm just convinced Ted could totally work. I'm just more confused because it's Giffen and you'd think he'd have a better handle but more and more I'm realizing that having a book written by "Giffen & _____" is almost always great but have just Giffen seems to not work more often than not.

George Perez just had a trade released of his post crisis WW reboot, it's extremely good and defines the character very well. I don't know what the stories are called specifically but Greg Rucka's runs are all excellent. Gail Simone's aren't quite as good as Rucka's but they're still good stuff. Justice League: A League of One is a great WW story. The Hiketaia (I probably spelled that wrong) is a good one too. The New 52 WW series by Azzarello and Cliff Chiang is a great read but it takes some liberties with the character and her supporting cast that are overall bad, and currently being retconned away by Rucka's new stuff.
