If you listen carefully there was a lot of hints of REAL Wally coming back. When they talked about the Flash the writer mentioned some stuff spinning out of Rebirth and Geoff Was like "we can't talk about that because its a big spoiler" and then when they were talking about the Titans book Geoff and the writer said the same thing again. Also there was that silhouette in the teaser of someone in a Kid Flash style costume but they had spiky-ish hair not like the character they showed today. Also from the Q&A with Geoff: quote:12:02 Alucard Nacirema fucked around with this message at 20:20 on Mar 26, 2016 |

ArmyOfMidgets posted:Keith Giffen with double Blue Beetles sounds like a dream come true, guess I'll check it along with Snyther's extra run of Batman and probably Tomasi's Superman and Rucka's Wonder Woman. I just hope they share the book and it isn't just Jaime is the hero and Ted Kord is his alfred hanging out at the house who he chats with while off duty. I want Ted in the field kicking rear end and hopefully even some "times past" style stories with only Ted back in the glory days as stand alone issues.

Is the Christopher Priest who is writing Deathstroke THE Christopher Priest who wrote legendary runs on such characters as The Black panther and got so frustrated with the way African Americans were treated in the comic industry that he vowed to leave and never come back at the end of the 90s? If so, why isn't this a huge news story? It's a huge win for DC to get him.Yvonmukluk posted:Who the hell is Liam Sharp? I was being snarky because Rucka has the most obvious "abused housewife" relationship with DC that i've ever seen. This is like his third big "return to DC comics" and it's not going to be the last.

You’re a terrible hypocrite, and I will never read anything you write ever again. I wonder if Rob Liefeld will change his tune next. Last I heard he left on a sour note and was beefin with Scott Snyder.

On the splash page at the end of REBIRTH why is Dick Grayson shown twice? He's standing on top of Killer Croc wearing his new 52 Robin Costume and then he's in front of himself wearing his Pre-Flashpoint Rightwing costume. Also on the far right next to the Blue Beetles is that Mon-El or Clone Superboy in a new costume? Also some quick rebirth thoughts: -I loving told y'all Wally was coming back! I also predicted the 3 jokers from 3 different earths twist based on that teaser image Geoff showed during the Rebirth live stream that showed a page of Batman surrounded by 3 Joker heads each representing different incarnations of the character. -The Watchmen thing could be interesting or a sign that DC is completely out of ideas and is just throwing a last hail marry for a big sales boost so Didio can keep his job just a bit longer. -Wally's new costume is 90s as gently caress. I kinda like it. -How does taking "ten years" out of the DCU affect things like Huntress suddenly being black instead of white or -Is this the first time we are seeing Ray Palmer as the Atom in the new 52 universe? In Frankenstein he was just a scientist who came up with technologies and he's the atom in that Future's End possible Future but I think this is the first time we are seeing him as the atom and it seems like he's just starting out.

The other is the new Super-Man the Chinese Superman. oh ok cool. Is that Damage on the far left next to wally? I was thinking its either him or a badly drawn Maxwell Lord (Infinite Crisis version)

Gaz-L posted:No mention of a JSA or Legion book, which is weird when like 8 pages of the one-shot were devoted to setting up that those groups exist (except the LoSH already existed, considering they had 2 ongoings at the start of the Nu52, right?) The LOSH from the beginning of the new 52 was from a different Earth (It was strongly hinted to be Earth-2). There was also the LOSH that was in Morrison's Action Comics run which was completely different from the other version. The Morrison LOSH's Saturn Girl also was hanging around in the past like the one in Rebirth.

Teenage Fansub posted:That isn't either of Supergirl, Superwoman or Lana Lang's costumes, so those can't be final designs. I imagine they just found a Superboy silhouette and made it small enough to represent an 8 year old (or however old Jon Kent is meant to be) Well we haven't seen Jay either and the Wally costume was just revealed a few days ago. I would bet on either a new Superboy showing up or Jonathan switches to the jacket at some point.

Travis343 posted:Red Robin really feels like a last-minute decision. Like you're a DC comics editor, you've just heard Grant Morrison is turning Dick and Damian into Batman and Robin and that's great but you realize you've still got to put out a book starring Tim Drake every month and you need to make a decision right now, um um ok, um what if we call him Red Robin? poo poo, I guess that'll work until I can get an actual writer on the phone - oh gently caress whoops, went to print. gently caress, now it's seven years later and he's still Red Robin. gently caress. Wasn't Jason Todd originally Red Robin and then later they gave it to Tim? I wasn't reading the Bat comics at the time so I have no idea how they explained that one. Should have just done it the way Waid intended for Dick to graduate to Red Robin leaving the Nightwing mantle for someone else or better yet not make red robin canon at all.

I'm usually a big complainer but holy poo poo I read 3 of the 4 new Rebirth books and loved all three so far. I think Superman was my favorite but that just could be the 90s nostalgia talking. I do have a few nitpicks though: -90% of Superman Rebirth was recapping Death of Superman. Does such an iconic story that has not only been rehashed in the comics but adapted into film and animation (at least twice already) need a recap? -I don't like the idea of Calendar Man being a meta human. -However now that he is a meta I would have liked to see more of him (He was literally in 2 pages of the book). The next story in the Batman book is about those new characters (the gothams) and then they have to deal with that 3 Joker BS. Snyder's opening arc is about Two-Face. I really hope there is a plan in place to revisit Calendar Man and it wasn't just a 1 time deal (Like The Shark becoming a big deal at the end of James Robinson's One Year Later story only to never show up or be mentioned again in Dini and Morrisons runs that spun out of it). But so far it doesn't seem likely.

Semper Fudge posted:Green Arrow Rebirth was easily the best book of the weak and it's immediately apparent that Percy has benefited massively from a stronger editor and a great artist. Don't forget that Geoff Johns spent like a week with each creative team getting into the nitty gritty of the story and characters and coaching the writers on better storytelling. So that might have helped a lot too.

So are they dropping the whole DC You policy of "Continuity doesn't matter" and letting creators do whatever the hell they want with the characters like Dr. Fate in a hoodie, Multiple personality Martian Manhunter, characters appearing in different costumes in different books at the same time, etc.? I personally thought that it was interesting and led to some great books (All-Star Section 8, Mech Batman, etc.) but I guess it becomes irksome when people can't organize their bookshelf in canonical order anymore.

I think its incredibly misleading that Geoff announced the new Blue Beetle series as "staring Jamie Reyes and his Mentor Ted Kord" when actually its the non-blue beetle young naive ted kord from Geoff's New 52 Justice League book and not the actual super hero Ted Kord that Geoff killed off in Countdown to Infinite Crisis. This is really another lame attempt to make Jamie a thing so that Didio can hold onto his job (See Also: Cyborg).

Damian Wayne, Batwoman, Agent Orange, Saint Walker, and just about every character Grant Morrison has cooked up in the last decade are all far superior to Jamie. Jamie just like with Jason Rusch and Ryan Choi was an attempt by Dan Didio to boost comic sales by getting a couple headlines talking about how DC is all about diversity. It was extremely forced.

Squizzle posted:Jaime has appeared as a major character in, like, all the shows. He's been in multiple cartoons, at least one live-action thing, had a pilot made or almost made for his own live-action series, is in a bunch of video games, has spin-off cartoon-only characters with their own cult followings (Black and Green Beetles), and Dou loving Hong has a Blue Beetle animated series dream project he has put together a whole pitch for, with complete character models and poo poo. Uh so has Cyborg. Know why? Because they were part of DCs agenda so they crammed them into everything. Same reason we are getting Geoffs version of Barry Allen in everything because that's the version of the flash DC wants to push (Remember it was Wally West in the beloved Bruce Timm Justice League cartoons). This is very different then say cable being introduced in the X-men comics, becoming insanely popular, and then appearing in the 90s X-men series because of said popularity or Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain being brought back due to sheer fan demand. Characters like Cyborg and Ted Kord are being pushed by Didio and his ilk.
