Are there Pym Particles in the DC universe? If not, how does the gun shrink to half its size from the first panel to the second?

First ask yourself where the gun comes from.

Because it just magically appears in her hand.

Yeah it was because literally every Green Lantern has their ring run dry every other week at the worst possible time, so when that inevitably happens, at least he's still got a gun. I thought it was a really dumb idea at first until I learned that, now I think he's the only GL who's not a complete idiot.

Yeah that gun will sure work against Sinestro or Darkseid or Mongul or Doomsday or etc.

Also apparently when he was told there were three jokers in answer to his question of the Joker's name, God-Batman never thought to ask a rephrased follow-up question of "what are the names of the three jokers"

Larry, Curly, Moe.

There is sometimes a fourth Joker but people tend to ignore him.

He's a guy from Earth, he hasn't been a GL for very long, and maybe the Earth gun is more comforting to him as a safety blanket than yet another piece of crazy alien tech like the one on his finger.

Haha, a "good job" straight up ripping off a memorable, gutwrenching moment to kill Pandora.

Yeah, well, when a person I like does it, it's homage, when a person I don't like does it, it's a ripoff.

An homage would be crediting the original artist/writer for straight up jacking their panel layout. But since they're stealing the Watchmen characters from Moore, they might as well steal everything else from the comic and claim it as an homage.

And again, this is comparing the killing of Rorschach to loving Pandora.

What a loving shame that people immediately dismissed the Flintstones book as some kind of mockery on the same level as a porn parody, because the amount of love and care that appears to have gone into this book is a cut above what I'd expect from any of the publishers right now. This looks and sounds great.

I don't think people were dismissing it on the level of a porn parody, but just saying that the art makes it look like a porn parody.

Because it does. That art makes it look like you're gonna open the book and see Fred and Barney tag-teaming Betty.

To be honest, I really like The Killing Joke and think it's a fantastic story, but I don't think Joker taking nude pics of Barbra really adds anything to it.

He was really really trying to break Gordon. So that would be a pretty effective way to do it.

I suppose, but already having crippled her and gloating about it would have gotten the point across I think. The photos just feel kinda gratuitous to me.

I guess this could just be a case where I'm more just against the concept because I feel that rape/sexual assault is something that really doesn't belong in mainstream superhero comics than because I think it actively makes the story worse.

It depends on the story. With this as an out of continuity story, the naked pictures make sense because the Joker has no line he won't cross to win. Winning is breaking Gordon at any cost. It's why I like the interpretation that Batman kills him at the end. Gordon proves himself better than both.

In continuity, yeah, it's too much. The Joker shouldn't come back as just a recurring supervillain. It's almost the same problem they had when they turned Dr. Light into a rapist and then he became Dr. Rape who wanted to rape everyone. For a serial story, you can't make characters cross some lines and expect to go back to standard superhero stuff.

I really hope this is one of the 99/100 times they're wrong, but Bleeding Cool is reporting that someone at DC told them that they're killing off Tim Drake soon. So of course at the moment when I feel that they're finally turning around they are going to kill off my favorite DC character. Goddammit please be wrong.

If they're gonna do that, I hope they go full Ultimatum and have Killer Croc eating him while going "Red Robin! Yum!"

Johns couldn't wreck Moore's legacy even if he wrote a new Watchmen series.

Moore may be an old gumpy man nowadays, but Johns cannot touch him talent-wise, and only one of them is going to be considered a great author for decades and decades. And it won't be Johns.

He's not wrong, though. Alan Moore writes about rape a lot. Almost as much as Frank Miller writes about whores. At a certain point it becomes off-putting.

I always thought that too. It was a huge missed opportunity that the comic wasn't 'Lobos.'
They even established that there were two of them for a whole issue, or whatever. There's nothing that wouldn't have been improved with them playing off of each other the whole time. The new guy could have even been welcomed if it was funny enough.

Lobo was 2013's Superwoman.

I would call the book Los Lobos.

Los Lobos kick your rear end. Los Lobos kick your face. Los Lobos kick your balls into outer space.
