Vincent posted:Do I need to catch up on the previous 24 or the current arc or something? Bare minimum the current arc starting on issue 19, but as usual the full context of the stakes would require reading all 25 issues plus JL annual 1. The gist of it is that the source wall is broken and that ancient and powerful beings are set to judge if the multiverse is in harmony. Lex luthor is trying to save the universe by awakening the creator of the multiverse and tilt rhe cosmic scale towards Doom, while the league are scrambling to stop him. It's the best this series has been in a good decade. ImpAtom posted:Do you mean Superman Discovering The Power Of Anime? Excuse you, anime discovered the power of Superman

That's the one! Although it's much better if you read the preceding issues

Archyduchess posted:I haven't kept up with DC very closely for years but I really like that scene, even without context. I think the best Superman stories fundamentally tell us that we aren't alone, and it's nice when that's flipped or expanded to include Clark himself, as someone who needs people and cherishes them. And of course, the punch was enormous, which is always icing on the cake. The open secret of Superman is that he's inspired by the people around him to be better. Not just Lois or Bruce or Pa, but regular folks who will stick their necks out to give you a hand when you need it. It's as much part of the character as that big S on his chest

Captain America is kind of an expert at giving speeches that sound good on paper but are kind of horrible when you think about it. Like his speech about not moving, even when the whole world is telling you you're wrong. (His speech to the fake Cap america is great though) Cabbit posted:gently caress it, maybe it's just me. Cap irks me from top to bottom, not the least of which being by draped in a flag, it's entirely possible I'm reading too much into it. You're a good egg, Cabbit.

ImpAtom posted:Eh. I don't really agree. There's no twisting involved. he almost literally saying "when everyone is telling you you're wrong, stand your ground and tell them to gently caress off", in a way few other "inspiring" speeches do. It's actually uniquely terrible in that sense. Like, if the whole world is telling you something, maybe you should listen to them instead of being a defiant jerk about it. If anti-vaxxers, climate change deniers and flat earthers can use it as a rallying cry then you probably wrote a poo poo speech

I feel this scene from the latest Batman issue belongs here and in the Badass thread. The setup: The Joker managed to get ahold of the Wayne fortune, and along with it, all of batmans vast array of toys and vehicles, and is using it to terrorize the city. The Batfamily has been driven away by Bruce due to his guilt of letting Alfred die, Batman is being put through a gauntlet, Lucius Fox is down, and he got poisoned with some toxin created by Jokers new henchgirl, Punchline. Harley Quinn managed to get him to a safehouse used by her and Ivy and gave him something to flush out the toxins. The drawback is that he's now out cold , Punchline found the save haven and is now trying to kill both Harley and Batman, and Batman is hallucinating.

Strange Cares posted:Wow, Bruce can't even comfort a dying old man, has to make it about himself like always. Guess when your dad is the butler, you don't learn good listening skills. Look, I don't know if you know this but Bruce is kind of a drama queen.
