"Forever Evil" is a pretty appropriate title. Evil inflicted on the readers, forever.

If Wally West didn't start out as Barry's apprentice and then grow into the role after Barry's death, is it even still Wally? What, aside from pandering, is the point of Wally's inclusion if he's nothing at all like Wally West?

The DC "house style"(is that official?) is one of the ugliest art styles I've ever seen and reeks of desperation to be gritty.

ElNarez posted:If we're gonna start calling things in comic books dumb, I have no idea when we'd ever stop or where we'd draw the line. I don't really think this line of criticism holds water. Plus, is "Brother Eye takes Earth over and turns its heroes into killer spider-robots and it's up to Batman Beyond to save the world" really that bad a hook for a comic? I dunno, to me it sounds pretty fun. Of course it does, because you left out the silly bits and just described the basic premise. There is a difference between "time traveling apes with ray guns and jetpacks" wacky, and "spider legs for everyone and disembodied heads being sewn into chests". It's like comics with titles like "Deathmate: This blood's for you!". Just because fiction is, well, fictional, and because unrealistic things often happen in them, doesn't mean that people won't call out how dumb something is. I can believe a zombie can run around and chase you despite that the rotting body shouldn't be able to move, or that Batman just happens to be highly trained in whatever area of expertise the plot requires, and Futures End is still stupid.

Favorabilis Solitud posted:I am enjoy the new 52. The DC universe before the reboot wasn't all that convoluted at all, even if they didn't just have a different reboot in 2005(Infinite Crisis). The New 52 is what made canon a real mess. Five Robins in as many years but one was not Robin despite him saying so, the Teen Titans issue, did X happen or not, Y happened but how could it if Z didn't, and so forth.

Cyborg's origin went down in the first Justice League arc. Bird Girl and Orange Dude I've got no idea about. Beast Boy was on the Ravagers, I think, when that spun out of the terrible Teen Titans Hunger Games thing.

There was a gifset on tumblr of a comics historian near tears recounting Peter Parker saying hi to a black student in passing in the sixties. It was heartwarming, kind of, and was a good argument for why diversity with heroes is needed.

That's...kind of cool? Like, I'm still pretty upset over the changes to the Phantom Stranger and having any sort of romance, be it heterosexual, homosexual, or with an agendered space slug is further out of character for who the Stranger used to be but otherwise that actually sounds really neat.

It's not that I think the comic will involve Batman and Robin as mummies, but I don't think Damian would be on the alternative cover if he wasn't back thanks to Robin Rises. Vampire Wonder Women is on the cover of Wonder Woman, the comic book about Wonder Woman, so Damian will probably be in the comic called Batman and Robin, who's cover he-as a mummy in a silly variant cover aside-is featured prominently on alongside Batman.
