I'm just now catching up with things and evil Batman Flash is dumb and I wonder how many times they're going to kill Wally West to vainly amp up drama. Kill him once, shame on me, kill him 4 times, shame on you, DC.

Flash got off light. Six or seven or whatever Bruces are gonna have to die to make all the Batmans in these one-shots.

edit: Oh. THAT Wally. Forgot the life sapping stuff. They're not gonna kill off anyone in a side one-shot tie-in.

I'm preeetty sure Wally's not actually dead, or else Iris West is also dead and I guess Superman and Wonder Woman are both dead too.

I thought the issue was fine. Not particularly because of the writing, but because the whole concept of this dark multiverse and its characters is fun for me. Alternate timeline stuff isn't usually my thing, but I'm real into Lovecraftian demonic cancer universes.

Sorry, I see how that was confusing (and why it's so dumb that they persist on having Kid Flash still be named Wally). I'm talking about Titans. The real Wally's died three times in it already.

It's enjoyable in the way it's kind of a "Batman must relearn how to be Batman" story. They even address the obvious JL/Superman can fix everything in a weekend problem with the premise, and the solution asspull is kind of satisfying.

Honestly it's probably the best post-Knightfall storyline. It's not till Hush came out that anything was nearly as readable.

NML is total bullshit. Metropolis got destroyed by missiles and poo poo and like 6 months later Superman calls the JL and Zatanna and they magic the city back together exactly like it used to be.

In Action #700 Metropolis gets destroyed by missiles or something, I forget what. Then later they magic the city back because of course Superman has x-rayed every square inch of the city and Perry White loves the city or something and there you go, the city is back.

NML had so many great sub stories going and it is really enjoyable book. I really liked the fact that it was batman family centered and divorced from the rest of the DC universe. Think of it as a Batman story, not a DC story and you will be fine.

It did feel a little too long by the end but yeah, one of the better Batman long run sagas.

Look Metropolis is a sound investment to get back running.

Gotham? Less so.

My favourite thing about The Question from the 90's is the city went through everything that Gotham did. And they wanted to cut Hub City off from the US too.

I figured it was something to do with Zatanna and Batman being an item once and she still felt scorned.

I bought DC Rebirth today as well as Superman Reborn and Trinity Vol 1. I'm a little lost. What happened to make Rebirth? Like, I get Wally West came back and reminded people he existed, but what then? What do I have to read? Where did Superdad come from? I thought DC Rebirth was the comic you read to learn all this.

They were halfway assuming people were reading the main DC books. For Superdad you need this

Alright, makes sense. Wonder if my suspicion that Superdad is what main timeline Superman would be if they didn't lose those 10 years is true.

Also, I guess they found a way to have their cake and eat it too with New 52 Superman and Lois Lane: now, they are merged with Superdad and Mom Lane into one, complete being. So, guess that just works out for everyone. Also, lol at Superboy making fun of the collar on Superman's New 52 suit.

Don't worry about spoiling that Superman thing. It happened months and months ago.

edit: Spoilers are generally for early/leaked news to be considerate of people who want to save it for the comic, and dropped maybe a day after the issue is out.
