Dark_Tzitzimine posted:In which way? Convergence is another crack the concept behind Countdown Arena. quote:Convergence spins out of the April 1 finales of the Earth 2: World's End and The New 52: Futures End weekly series. The alien supervillain Brainiac has trapped cities from various timelines and planets that have ended, brought them in domes to a planet outside of time and space, and is now opening them for a great experiment to see what happens when all these folks meet. Well I guess that means Cass will be back, assuming they carry over Preboot Gotham (since that was where she was last seen before the reboot). Here's hoping she gets written by somebody good if she does (hint to DC: NOT ADAM BEECHEN).

ElNarez posted:Whatever you might think of Convergence it's bringing us one more issue of Greg Rucka writing Renee Montoya and therefore it's WORTH IT. Plus it's Cully Hamner drawing. It's gonna be killer. Who the heck is Alisa Kwitney? Also booooo that Cass and Tim are playing second fiddle to Steph, can't they at least get joint billing? Also where's Cass' mask?

Dacap posted:Weird that nearly every solicitation ends with "and then Flashpoint _________ attacks". I guess characters from that universe are the aggressors in this series? I guess they're the closest to old!DCU when the domes go down. Although why they'd be picking a fight with them and not each other is a riddle for the ages.

Interesting...Pre-New-52 is being invaded by Flashpoint, while 90s Earth is being invaded by Kingdom Come. In both regards, the 'protagonist' Earths are being invaded by an Earth based the event that brought an end to their respective 'eras'. I mean the Flashpoint connection is obvious, but Kingdom Come is one of the big things people point to as bringing an end to the Dark Age. I hope they mix it up later on, though. 'Earth X invades Earth Y' might get a tad boring.

SirDan3k posted:I say you could have a tense as hell Joker story where he's reverted to a "Stealing kids report cards" Joker because everyone knows the monster is still in there and any of the thousand pies he's throwing could be filled with cyanide or the next bag of itching powder could melt your skin off. I remember a great story where the Joker took over a TV quiz show and unleashed several 'pranks' on the hapless contestants who were tasked with asking impossible questions...that were all entirely nonlethal. The whole story was just waiting for him to finally whack somebody. The endgame? Revealing he'd put cameras in the recording booth where the producer had actively stalled people calling the police, because it was ratings gold and if Joker killed anyone the studio wouldn't be liable. Batman hauled Joker off to Arkham of course, but he didn't kill (or even set out to kill) anybody in that story.

Ponsonby Britt posted:The most logical solution would be a continuity where Batman starts off fighting alone, but then he's kidnapped by the Rainbow Raider. Meanwhile, members of all seven Lantern Corps crash to earth simultaneously, empowering Dick, Barbara, Jason, Tim, Stephanie, Cassandra, and Damien. The kids have to put aside their bickering long enough to rescue Bruce, and afterwards they all become his sidekick in a rotating schedule based on Batman's mood. GO GO ROBIN RANGERS!

I'm definitely going for Batgirl and her Amazing Friends, Question, Speed Force-basically all the pre-Flashpoint books. Probably Suicide Squad, too.

Flameingblack posted:The Batgirl comic is a really fun read to me, I know it's easy to hate but it feels as close to a Stephanie book as we'll get for ages to come so I don't mind. I've got to catch up with Swamp Thing (Since the second issue post Rot World) because other than that I haven't been buying DC titles much at all. Too many company-wide crossovers, too much muddled continuity, too many bad writers and artists on books. At least there's diversity now. Ahem. Convergence: Batgirl and her Amazing Friends.

Rhyno posted:DC is absolutely loving this up, I don't see a single one of these even making the top 25 sold. It's like they want to destroy their market share for 2015. On the plus side, I guess they can say 'nobody wants to read about Cassandra Cain/Renee Montaya/Underpants Supes'!  This is not actually a good thing.

I realise that these are probably puff pieces, but drat if these Convergence interviews aren't making me actually look forward to it. I want to hear from Alisa Kwitney about the Batgirl one, though. She's an unknown quantity and writing three of my favourite characters, I need to know how tensed for disappointment I need to be.
