Verranicus posted:So, I'm still working my way through the New 52 and someone mentioned to me DC was doing yet another relaunch after the one they did after the New 52? Is this true? Are they restarting the titles all over again? Yes, it's called Rebirth and it assumes that the Nu52 Status Quo is actually the result of outside corruption and is using that to bring back some of the things they removed from the pre-flashpoint continuity. Not every book is starting over but they're basically beerslamming the two continuities.

Rhyno posted:We were told at a retailer summit that JKR isn't interested in a comic book adaptation of her works. I can't really blame her. I wouldn't want someone writing a story where Voldemort returns and rapes Hermione before ripping off Ron's arms and blaming The Hunger Games for making himself too gritty and realistic.

A lot of people strongly disliked what he did to the Amazons and found the argument of "it's historical" to be complete bullshit.

Glowing-eye superman is so loving tired at this point. It was a neat visual except it got overused and now Superman might as well just have glowing eyes with how often people go back to it.

Norns posted:Yo. I'm pretty sure every loving person here thinks sexism, racism, rape, and oppression are bad. It isn't a coincidence that "I want a good justice league" and "Kick off all the black people" come hand-in-hand, because the iconic characters tend to be white dudes and nobody is willing to spend time to develop anyone who isn't named Cyborg. The answer isn't to keep going back to the safe people, it's to get a good writer who can do interesting things with lesser-known characters. That is what gave us stuff like JLI after all.

Toxxupation posted:Either way Aquaman sucks and is lame to the point where the comic has to turn to the reader and go "sorry that this guy sucks and is lame" every single time he appears, I really honestly do not see the loving point of keeping him on there if they're gonna approach his character like he's something to apologize for. Aquaman is a fine character. He suffers from the fact that a bunch of comic writers got upset about Seanbaby jokes and are completely and utterly unwilling to let that poo poo go and just deal with the hero on his own merits. I mean I'll point out that frigging Animal Man or Vision or whoever you like have had completely excellent stories done with their characters and they're frankly harder to work with than "dude who is king of the undersea while also being super strong and durable on land."

Norns posted:Seriously, me not liking Cyborg has nothing do do with his skin color you nitwits. It has something to do with the fact he hasn't had a good story and rather than pushing for him to get good stories you want him replaced by familiar characters, even though if the writer can't do anything interesting with these characters it's not like they're super-likely to be overflowing with amazing Hal Jordan stories.

FilthyImp posted:You've got some serious Freudian problems if the muscularity of an average cape book, when applied to characters in another setting, sets off your erotica warning system. The art looks like people in low-budget costumes. It's not a good look. Costumes work for superheroes BECAUSE they are wearing costumes. These straddle the line between accuracy to the original and reinvention in a way that doesn't really hit either well.

Detective No. 27 posted:The only thing that made me step back in disagreement was Alfred saying that Bruce doesn't even trust him. Surely if there was one person Bruce Wayne trusts 100%, no second thoughts, it would be Alfred. Bruce doesn't trust Alfred. If he did he'd listen to him the nine thousand times he tells him it's suicide and maybe he should take a goddamn nap instead of breaking all his arms again.

WickedHate posted:Everyone should read RHATO, unironically. Most of it is bad/mediocre and only cleans up right before it ends, true-and the bit with Tynion is especially torturous. But it should be read to be complained about, and misery sharpens character anyway. "Please spend literally a hundred dollars or more on terrible books you won't enjoy" is a pretty hosed up thing to say.

That's actually how Guy ends up getting his massive head trauma, not Batman's punch. He crawls under a machine to recover the ring and smashes his head.

The Arkham games usedThe Killing Joke in but had Barbara shot rather than shot and molested. It's a small change but I think it is basically the one that makes Oracle tragic-but-palatable instead of forcing a horrifying molestation as a key central part of a character's backstory. Barbara being injured and overcoming her injury to become a powerful and important hero isn't a bad story. It's the sexual element and the fact it comes from a story where she is injured only so other people care about it.

"it's a magic ring, I shouldn't be able to do that" has been around for a long time which is why I'm not very impressed with Baz doing it. My favorite story involving it was a JLI one where Ice temporarily took control of Guy's ring when he was knocked out during a battle against Dr. Ivo. Ivo was attempting to commit suicide-by-superpower due to his immortality serum making him immortal but in constant pain and disfigurement. Ice genuinely wholeheartedly wished to fix him and it worked and Guy was like "What? No! It doesn't work that way!" the entire time.

It's an interesting melange of the various different versions, with some Gotham, some Nolan, some Arkham and even a bit of Brubaker and Snyder. I've heard positive things about it but I just can't justify buying a Telltale game until it's all out, not in the least because every single one of their games has gone on major sale at some point before final release.

Usually both so people have to look up at him and so if someone is doing the 'slouching' Clark Kent thing, Kent still ends up being taller than most people.
