Marv Wolfman's writing a barbarian JL thing called "Primal Age" https://www.bleedingcool.com/2018/10/04/dc-meet-the-publishers-panel-nycc-recap/ I guess they didn't show the comic off, but they did show the line of Masters of the Universe type toys based on it (or the other way around). https://www.bleedingcool.com/2018/10/04/dc-primal-age-funko-exclusive-amazon/

It's no less goofy than those Batman toy tie-ins where Val Kilmer Batman apparently needed volcano or space gear to defeat Jim Carrey's space conquest goals. I'm convinced the toy-universe are a numbered alternate universe in themselves where Batman is even more prepared than usual. What's the best and most complete reading order website these days?

frodnonnag posted:Get shot in the head and suddenly you're competing with Jason for the '2edgy4u' title of shittiest robin. This new nightwing is terrible. So this was my initial take as well, then I reread it. And reread it again (ok fine I was just admiring the art) and yeah, its NOT Dick. But that's what he's been trying to tell everybody the whole issue. He is not that guy, he doesn't know that guy, he doesn't know that guy's friends, and he doesn't care he just wants to live his normal guy life. And I gotta say, if I woke up in a hospital bed with no idea wtf was going on, shot in the head with all the damage that entails, and had a bunch of people I didn't recognize telling me I had this secret life as a superhero and by the way its why I got shot, I'd probably be all 'the gently caress is this you people are fuckin' crazy I'm out' too, not having any context. He doesn't seem particularly edgy, drinking problem and frequenting dive bars aside. He helps out the lady in the diner when she's robbed, he leaves money in the places he squats in to cover expenses and a nice little thank you note. He's a bit curt with Barbara but its obviously not their first conversation and she's nothing if not persistent. Yeah he's basically a drifter who only lives in the present making really bad choices but he's got no memory, no idea who he is, he knows he's a 20something gypsy circus orphan who was raised by a crazy rich guy and his stuffy English butler who trained him from childhood to jump around on rooftops and fight psychopaths until it almost got him killed. And apparently the crazy rich guy did it three more times. Now he's got a constant headache and his memory's swiss cheese and he lives his life in snapshots with blank spots in between and he's feeling overwhelmed enough dealing with all that without all these costume-wearing freaks trying to drag him back into their crazy people war on crime. He has no life skills that he knows of and even if he did its pretty certain his blackouts would preclude him being able to hold down any kind of a steady job, much less jump around on rooftops fighting crime. So he's basically just ghosting through life. Also on my second read-through I noticed this which I'd missed before:  Look who's lurking, watching over him. That makes me feel a bit better, like Bruce isn't just washing his hands of his kid. Babs has obviously been bugging him when she can find him. I'd love to know how much time has passed though, its gotta be several weeks at least.

Parallax posted:has there been a major teen/kid Green Lantern? with all the different legacy characters I'm surprised if GL hasn't had one by now. Kyle is the closest, but even he was more of a young adult than a "kid" During Flash and Green Lantern: Brave and the Bold #2 Wally West was temporarily a Green Lantern named "Kid Lantern." I know it's not major but I'll take any chance I can to shill that series because it's great.

https://twitter.com/DCComics/status/1048274255530663936 EDIT: And BC has some gossip about the whole bat penis debacle quote:Well, DC Comics has a new President in town, Pamela Lifford. And the Batpenis basically landed on her desk in her first days of office. Yesterday at NYCC, Jim Lee called it a ‘production error’ but that is disputed by people closer to the comic, who tell me that it was always intended to be this way and was signed off like this.

And more reveals from Johns' panel https://twitter.com/DCComics/status/1048279546749964288 https://twitter.com/DCComics/status/1048276832670420992 I hate that Jason's costume is just a Robin costume with the jacket and the helmet overlayed on top of it. Jason grew out of the Robin identity a long time ago to become his own man. So this feels like a regression of his character. And if it Johns was involved in it, it shows a basic misunderstanding of Jason's character that doesn't bode well for Jason's role in the story.

As a newly wayward guy myself also going through a period of weird hair, listlessness, and a drinking problem, I also have people looking on that I know won't give up on me as well. We gonna get through this weird detour, Rick.

quote:“You’re going to learn about the characters and see things unfold about each of them that will change your perception on who they are and what they think of each other.” Johns excitedly explained, “You’re going to get to know Jason in a deeper way than you have in the past. Our goal is to explore these characters emotionally.” Oh boy http://www.adventuresinpoortaste.co...carousel-186676

Did Scott Snyder block Geoff from using Snyder’s New 52 Joker in Three Jokers? He was clearly one of the 3 in the first few teases for the story and was shown in DC Rebirtth special.

I'm actually not sure what the plot of Three Jokers is supposed to be. They've talked about specific scenes and characters, but I can't remember hearing any overarching story besides the basic premise of there being three Jokers. I mean, Doomsday Clock gave us some idea of what it would look like, but unless Three Jokers is entirely about the three Jokers being catty about the others borrowing their clothes, I couldn't tell you a thing about it.

It's just a Three Stooges bit but with all three replaced by the Joker and they might just learn a thing or two about friendship along the way.

The Joker of Hearts who was the Joker who focused on pranks and humor The Joker of Diamonds who was the Joker specializing in elaborate thefts The Joker of Clubs, the one who clubbed Jason Todd to death. And the mysterious Joker of Spades... what secret could this elusive fourth Joker hold?!

The Wonder Twins are hilarious to me because Jayna can turn into any animal, including alien animals, so basically anything at all and Zan can turn into, uhm, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r8CBl6dwl4 Their JLU episode was pretty good though.

Mehhh, it was no gopher moat. (I’m on the world’s shittiest WiFi and I can’t even get Youtube to play the video [and don’t want to post a link without knowing it’s the right one], so if you haven’t seen it go to YouTube, search for Wonder Twins Gopher Moat, and enjoy. There are 3 or 4 videos in the series.)
