Alucard Nacirema posted:oh wtf WALLY WEST IS BLACK STILL??? Let's be honest, replacing New Wally with Old Wally is motivated by the kind of thinking that got us into this mess in the first place. RIP Original Wally West, sacrificed on the altar of Silver Age Nostalgia. Here's hoping they can at least tell not poo poo stories with the New Wally. They eventually managed it with New 52 Batgirl, after all!

Alucard Nacirema posted:Barry is Silver Age. Wally represented the modern age 80s-00s. Yes, that's my point. Wally got sacrificed to make Barry the One True Flash again. Replacing New Wally with Old Wally would just be appeasing a slightly different set of fanboys. I wonder, though: will they ever address the fact Barry erased his own children & grandchilren from existence? Edit: Beaten like Barry Allen should have been for Flashpoint.

Also, apparently Earth 2 & Gotham Academy are trucking on regardless of rebirth, according to Newsarama's liveblog of the press Q&A. Guess 'Earth 2 is now the post-Flashpoint Earth' rumour was wrong.

Darth Nat posted:Cass and Steph are both on the Detective Comics team. Alucard Nacirema posted:I feel like DC is honeydicking me with that Blue Beetle book. On one hand I REALLY want a Ted Kord book by Keith Giffen but on the other I hate Jaime and I hate that if I purchase the book and help sales go up Didio can tell his bosses "see I told you people really like this jaime character we created!" Alucard Nacirema posted: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. Edit: Oh drat, looking at the press Q&A, it seems like Didio nearly did say Rebirth was 'The New 52 done right'. if not in those exact words. He's definitely stating there were fuckups. Although I'm not sure he wouldn't count the erasure of Oracle or the original Wally West in that. Yvonmukluk fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Mar 26, 2016 |

Two Tone Shoes posted:I'm sorry I don't remember a half asian Barry Allen who's really good at math but has incredibly strict parents showing up and dicking around with Wally while he was The Flash. Tell me how this is the same situation. The issue is replacing a new character with an old one to pander to fans is the exact same reason that Geoff Johns resurrected Barry & Hal in the first place. I don't like the new Wally and god knows I'd like to have the odl one back, but two wrongs don't make a right, here.

Is it me or are they apparently determined to eliminate all trace of red from Superman's costume except the cape? I'll be honest, I'm not a fan. But then I guess I'm still bitter over them dumping the classic costume, underpants on the outside and all.

X-O posted:It's not a Titan graduation thing. It's a "from the beginning" thing. And there's several other good characters you can put into the Justice League to diversify them. John Stewart or Mister Terrific immediately jump to mind. And Mister Terrific also fills the exact same tech niche that Cyborg fills. John Stewart? Are you implying that a Green Lantern other than HAL JORDAN, the Greatest Green Lantern, could even be fit to stand on the Justice League? HERESY! To the Phantom Zone with ye! Gaz-L posted:NO I still weep uncontrollably when that is mentioned. Curse you. Dammit, Gates of Gotham rather blatantly set up that Cass & Tim were going to be A Thing moving forward. I was wondering how they'd handle Steph reacting to her BFF dating her ex, but nope, Kwitney drunk the nostalgia kool-aid (it's not just for the Silver Age any more!) and went right back to the old status quo (despite Steph & Tim moving past it in their own books). Wasn't the story titled something trite like 'the love song of Stephanie Brown'?

Toxxupation posted:I actually bought the hints of the Tim Drake/Harper relationship they were sorta laying a couple of seeds for before switching to Tim/Stephanie. Which makes sense considering how well Tim and Stephanie work as a couple and balance each other. I really dug the idea of Tim and Harper hooking up when they were kind of pushing their relationship in that direction. This opinion might be influenced by the fact that Bluebird's mask design is the raddest poo poo ever. I think I am the only person on the planet who wanted to see Tim/Cass be A Thing after Snyder set it up in Gates of Gotham. Like, I get they're not going for it in the New 52/Rebirthed universe or whatever it's called now, but I'm mad after Convergence Batgirl ignored that in favour of yet more Tim/Steph shipping.

Die Laughing posted:Rucka sounds like a dick for getting all pissy about some gorgeous variant covers. He must have gotten DC by the balls when they wanted him back for another go at Wonder Woman. Wasn't one of the other conditions in Rucka's contract that Wonder Woman is no longer the remit of Eddie Berganza? That makes two awful people not working on Wondy any more because of Rucka. Good.

I'm fairly certain Rucka would turn around and extend his contract solely to keep Cho away from the book if this is true. Maybe this was a negotiation tactic by DC - let Cho think he might be tapped to write Wondy after Rucka leaves, and then Rucka would go HELL NO and stay on longer? I may be giving undue credit to DC.

If there's any justice Marvel will drive up in a dump truck full of money and let De Liz write whatever she wants. Yvonmukluk fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Dec 16, 2016 |
