I wonder if there's a sliver of hope to turn the Justice League United 'TBD' back into Jeff Lemire. It'd be great to have a Lemire/Foreman reunion.

I wonder if we will be getting a Jeff Lemire exclusive announcement from Marvel, as he has no DC work right now.

That Constantine art looks awesome, and I know I will be picking up the first arc.

Has he ever done that before? I feel like he has three or four Image projects this year.

He had a DC exclusive, and the Marvel exclusive does not seem to stop people from doing Image work.

I still say if this hadn't turned into Superman being a right wing dickhole it isn't a horrible premise for a comic. I'd read a story about Superman just walking around helping folks out. Pulling cats out of trees, helping poor folks get jobs, whatever, ain't gotta be superpowered crises.

So would I. The idea of Superman just taking a break and walking helping people sounds like something he would do. However, it should not be a 12 part storyline, as it makes him look like sort of a dick if he ignores everything else and just walking around.

Man has superspeed, if some poo poo pops off he can fly away and fix it and be back before Little Jenny even realizes her kitty is up in the tree.

Yeah, but Grounded if I remember correctly he was ignoring everything other than his stupid walk. I meant that it could be a couple of issues of him doing the mundane stuff and then him a couple of him doing the big. However, that ignores an important part of his character as it would involve him being just Superman and not Superman and Clark.

I enjoy that aspect of Tim Drake. His life wasn't changed forever by a tragic event he was seeking vengence for and he never trained for years and years before becoming a crimefighter. He's just a normal teen who realized Batman needed Robin and made the decision, unconnected to any personal reasons, to spend his life helping and protecting people.

Then his entire family was killed.

I never get tired of the idea that Deathstroke, a dude who got his rear end handed to him by Nightwing more than once, could take down the Flash and Green Lantern in three pages.

Its due to Deathstroke corrupting Brad Metzer's favorite character.

They'll cancel it due to poo poo sales and blame the lack of interest in the character, not the lack of talent in the writer. I mean seriously, he wrote a few good LOSH stories 30 years ago and hasn't written anything else worth a drat since. I really want to know how good his severance as Publisher was that he keeps getting work. Or who he has dirt on.

I think that the writers under him liked him a lot since he was fair to them, as they got cash whenever one of their creations were on tv.

I just finished rereading Morrison's Batman run and I'm just now seeing the impact New 52 had on his run. I hadn't realized that Dick was still Batman right up until the end, and it is such a shame that it didn't survive. I really hope him and Damien get to team up maybe even as Batman and Robin now that they are going to play it a little looser on continuity. God why couldn't they just let him do his final issues out of continuity.

I am pretty sure that it still would have had Bruce and Damien teaming up as Talia was always the head of Leviathan, and having Dick in the Batman role would make no sense.

I don't know if O'Neill is a bad writer or not, but he got stagnant on Azrael. His plots became more contrived and stupid as the series went and kind of made Jean Paul toxic for other writers to use.

Didio said on twitter one of the convergence spin offs is gonna continue (and that it's probably not Booster Gold because it would be too obvious?). Anyone have a guess which it might be?

I figure if it's gonna be integrated into the New 52 universe then it's probably one of the street level books like The Question or maybe Batgirl (though they brought back Steph in the New 52 and want Barbara headlining the title for the forseeable future so probably not), but I guess if it continues off of Convergence with the more cosmic level of storytelling then maybe Pre-52 Superman or Speed Force (doubtful since DC's history with The Flash family has been nothing if not abusive for the last decade).

Maybe someone else has some better insight than I do, though.

Will not be Question as they are bringing back Renee to the Gotham PD, but she could be doing both.
It could be Superboy and the Legion.

Haven't been following along with it, have they already shown her? Because, technically, Convergence has already happened from the regular universe's perspective, I think (When Superman came back with a beard). Could be this was planned beforehand and that's how they're introducing her.

No she is going to be introduced in the 52 in an upcoming Detective Comics.

Of all the convergence spinoff titles this week I only really liked JL and Speed Force. My favorite things they both have in common are The Flashpoint assholes getting some comeuppance. Also Fastback rules. He was basically just if Jay Garrick was around and the older experienced guy again. And also a cartoon turtle.

If the story would be self contained you'd had a point, but they've made clear is fully involved with the rest of the Batman books (they've hyped the meeting of the robins with Gordon for example) making the premise incongruent with the setting.

Yeah but I got the idea that this is a result of Batman's "death" and people are trying to be Robin, and Bruce is not here to stop them.
