It’s literally been done already before, though. Like they’ve already made the exact same gag between the exact same two characters

I can't imagine any comic writer who worked on Jason *really* thinks they're the first to make a crowbar callback.

Covok posted:Is there anyone here enjoying any of the following: I didn't bother with any of the other ones, but as for Bendis on Superman I'm finding it alright. Superman is the weaker of the two, and it doesn't help that this first arc just has so much going on all at once. I had a similar issue with most of Scott Snyder's recent output where it feels like ten different things are going on all at once, and I struggle to keep up with it. I'm still enjoying it well enough, as I am with Snyder's Justice League, but reading it sometimes has me feeling so lost. Action Comics seems to suit my tastes quite a bit more. I like seeing Superman deal with a way more small scale problem, although I'm sure it's about to escalate. More than both however, I feel more impressed with the new run of Supergirl than either one. I like Supergirl and Krypto going on a space adventure as a premise, and it's had some pretty fun stuff so far.

So remember how people were debating whether calling Nightwing "Ric" was a Casablanca joke or whether it was an actual change? I have some bad news about Nightwing #51.

Much as I thought the debut issue was pretty okay, I'm absolutely not on board for anything written by noted racist sex pest Scott Lobdell.

Doctor Spaceman posted:So remember how people were debating whether calling Nightwing "Ric" was a Casablanca joke or whether it was an actual change? I don't blame them for trying to update away from Dick, which is obviously an unfortunate name nobody his age goes by anymore, but Ric is about the worst direction they could have gone with it. At least they can just blame it on brain trauma when they go back to Dick.

All of these people did just fine with the first name Dick! (Worksafe link, though looking through it everyone under the age of 50 (60, maybe) on this list do something NSFW for work, turns out)

The most remarkable thing about the list is that Dick Trickle, Dick Button, Dick Butkus, Dick Lane, Dick Hymen, Dick Feller, Dick Assman, Dick Armey, Dick Sprang, Dick Grace, Dick Rich, and Dick Turner all found fame outside the pornographic arts.

Pretty sure the amnesiac arc will end up with Dick recovering his memories and saying something along the lines of "My name is Dick" or something like that.

You don't even need to keep his last name after the amnesia. In fact, why not make everyone happy and have it also be a subtle penis reference. Rich Johnson. e: gently caress. There's a 't' in there

Xelkelvos posted:Just call him Richard. Or even Gray I think Richard is probably the best option yeah. It's pretty uncommon for younger people these days too, presumably because of the Dick association, but it's still more timeless than any of the nickname versions. Ric is just weird, and trying way too hard, though I guess with a nickname they get to keep Alfred's Master Richard thing to show how formal he is.

You're never going to get a name that isn't Dick to stick. Anytime in a comic I read "richard" it always comes off the page like a disappointed mom saying his full name.

Has Bruce ever done a Batman Begins style "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you" move in comics? In today's Batman he just did.

Ocean Lords from Space? Deliciously ridiculous. 10/10. And 'Ric' is obviously temporary until this run is over and this is never spoken of ever again. If not, drat guys at least call him 'Rich'.

Nessus posted:Aye I think once the KGBeast was like "YESS NOW WE FIGHT TO THE DEATH" and Batman was just like "but why? I can just leave," and then he did, sealing in KGBeast behind him. I think I read they retconned it by saying Bats told the FBI (or whoever the government guys were) that he was locked up down below and they should go get him, but the issue made it pretty clear that KGBeast got Cask'd.

Interesting answersquote:Nrama: Well, I can’t say he’s wrong. But you know, one of the other drastic changes is that, in the past, Dick was always the more upbeat, fearless Robin, and that carried over into his role as Nightwing. But now, he feels a little more like Jason Todd in some ways—detached from the world and more comfortable around outcasts (and, dare we say it, outlaws?). Scott, have the similarities come to mind as you’re writing both characters? Or are there more differences? https://www.newsarama.com/42366-new-nightwing-writers-take-ric-grayson-in-a-new-direction.html
