Deathstroke is pretty lame and I love that the new trailer for the Teen Titans Go movie takes the piss out of him.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

The Teen Titans Go To The Movies Trailer actually makes me kind of want to secretly watch this later on Hulu/Netflix/Whatever. It actually looks pretty drat funny.

Good news, guys! Doomsday Clock trade schedule for 2099! /s

For reals, though, they had to delay 5 and 6 another month each.

Edit: Following up on this, I think that these delays are really killing the interest in the Rebirth One Shot mystery.

Sounds like they'd already adjusted their 2019 event to deal with the first delay and now this is going to screw up everything. I wonder if there is a plan in place to move up the post Watchmen stuff now that it's going to be what, 2020?

Only problem is stringing along a JSA relaunch. Oh well.

edit: I just want things to catch up so Batman can start using this sweet chest emblem in the regular comics.

It's an eight page story that the big plot beat is that Lois Lane has left the Daily Planet and no one wants to talk about why and Clark can't reveal what really happened and they're hiring a new reporter who wants to 'take over' the newspaper so she might be Satan incarnate or just an overambitious selfish journalist if that makes you feel any better or you know maybe Bendis is currently just jerking off like a madman at killing bitches and making bitches evil we may never know.

I mean, it just sounds like the family focus is offically gone which is why I read the book. She should come back but doing it first issuses says to me "this isn't a book about a midwestern family" anymore.

I mean feel free to write off the whole thing because of a plot beat in the first issue but I got the feeling that a few people here weren't really going to read the the BMB stuff in good faith any way.

I mean, I can't buy the books anyway now. So its mostly just armchair discussing for me now. But I was always going in with cautious optimism. Supes is my fav when he's wholesome, light, and fun. Bendis can do that. Ultimate Spider-man is the definitive run on the character. But there is the worry of an Avengers: Dissassembled.

So, like I said, cautiously optimistic. But when you can't afford to buy it always sounds worse when you just hear about it.

Eight page teaser: "Beloved character is no longer part of one aspect of their status quo, the entire eight page teaser is built around everyone talking about how it's weird that the character left under unspoken extraordinary circumstances, builds mystery as to what happened to that character"

I am definitely the one being unreasonable and flying off the handle here, for sure.

King writing Booster Gold as an addled cartoon character is...kind of friggin' annoying?

It's likely going to lead to Booster Gold going to the psychotherapy-for-superheroes place. All that time travel, friends dying, you can only put a happy face on things for so long.

I really don't love King's Batman. I like most of his story premises, The Gift is a cool idea, but the dialogue where people just patter tersely yet snarkily at each other for twenty pages at a time does absolutely nothing for me. As BrianWilly says, Booster in this issue is particularly terrible and is being written like someone who's completely disconnected from reality.

Seriously this. It's like if Frank Miller is ghost writing or it's being channeled somehow. This Booster is an insane moron, that without Skeetz somehow keeps getting more insane and stupider.

King's batman did absolutely nothing for me, but then I see storylines and hear about stuff like Kite Man and think "man I would love that". And then what I read just leaves me flat.

Mister Miracle is doing everything for me though. Goddamn do I love that book.

Mister Miracle is really good and I think it's exactly because it can exist in its own corner of the universe and ooze King's style without feeling weird or incongruous. It's incredibly surreal. It isn't attempting to be a standard superhero book or have an easily legible plot, it's meant to feel something like a fever dream. It works really well.

Batman is attempting to be a mainstream superhero book but it has the same terse, dreamlike, often illogical style and it just 80% of the time doesn't work for me at all. Characters say baffling things and make bizarre decisions, events just happen with their connective tissue loosely implied or not shown, and the dialogue occasionally verges into resembling the bastard offspring of Joss Whedon and Samuel Beckett. I know King's a good writer, but his approach to this book really isn't my bag.

In short, I guess I could use a little more procedure, a little less mood.

Mother Panic: Gotham A.D. has some of that going on. Except instead of a hellscape that's moments from falling apart, it's a Metropolis-like Capitalist techno dystopia where image is everything, if only to hide the dark facade.
