Edge & Christian posted:The whitest of white guy posts. If the choice is between "arbitrary diversity quotas" and "an endless stream of the same lovely white dudes getting chance #4938 to write mediocre to bad comics" then go ahead and sign me up for creative white genocide. I'm sure that there's never been someone other than white dudes who have ever had good ideas for Batman, Green Lantern, Flash, etc. Meanwhile DC is still *really* pushing Cyborg to fill the blindingly white ranks of the JL. They did decent with Prez (which sells unimpressively), Batgirl and Black Canary, but their attitude with Cyborg is pretty indicative of their overall publishing ethos.

MonsterEnvy posted:That is kind of dumb and unnecessary Also, Jessica 'Power Ring' Cruz was being sucked dry by Volthoom, the evil ring spirit. Using her Great Fear powerring would cause these gnarly tendrils to Snake their way out of the ring . The E3 power ring ended up looking like a mummy when he maxes out on Volthoom power. So a lot of her early struggle was trying to keep the voice in her head from making her use the drat ring or being pee-yourself scared.

The C looks like it's trying to suck its own dick. The sticker took some getting used to, but I liked that they could customize it with character specific art or flourishes. Hoping they can do something similar with this 70s retro thing.

Android Blues posted:The Batman Beyond suit is designed for a cartoon. It's a design that looks good and dynamic with flat colours, fluid movements, and minimal lighting or shading. Trying to elevate that to highly chiselled definition kind of misses the point of the costume. Next thing you know they'll put cyber-seams on it to look high tech or something. Maybe Tactilol Hexagons too.

These super vivid colors freak me out. As for Cho, anything that keeps that MRA trollfire out of mainstream work is A-OK with me. Odd that he was kicked off of variant cover work, but I can see him freaking out about it easily.

It's really unfortunate that Cho can't stop himself from being a fedora wearing red piller, because he's got some drat good chops. Almost as good as Terry Moore.

Kurzon posted:Thinking back to New 52, can anybody give me a source where DC editorial explains why they removed Superman's red overpants from his costume? Red underpants is so last century. I'm pretty sure it's because Lee didn't like the aesthetic and how it would differentiate his design too much from the rest of the high necked uniforms. Also, because red underwear doesn't compete with the Secy tacticool look of the MCU.

TwoPair posted:It's drawing a parallel between Gotham and Superman by intentionally mirroring an iconic Superman moment. SuperGotham, a character we'll never see again after this arc, doesn't have the stuff to inspire a change of heart, nor is he competent enough to avoid a tragedy. Yawn. If they wanted a good foil, G-man could have failed to save a passenger jet that was facing engine trouble. His overconfidence sheers the wing off, sending it tumbling into Gotham General or the Gotham Financial district. Gothamguy is hurled too far away to get there in time, so instead he hauls rear end once the situation is clear to him because he can't face the results.

JoshTheStampede posted:It's still "Gotham tries to be Superman and fails" so why is the All-Star homage so bad? It's an iconic scene, just like every death scene either references Crisis or Death in the Family, or how everyone copies the Dark Knight Returns lightning strike cover.

Aphrodite posted:It's not earned in All Star either. a) it's an original scene so it doesn't function solely on the basis of "Oh yeah, it's just like that other time *wink wink* B) it continues to develop the message, namely that Kal El's Humanity and ability to inspire the best in others is what gives him power. C) more subtly, it's about two characters confronting mortality and coming away with hope Plus the whole bit about a dying god has the time to comfort a nobody teen in turmoil. Anyway, I just think the homage in Batman is hacky and doesn't really do much for me, so I guess I should stop beating this particular horse.
