So does everyone know the CEO of Wonder Woman Inc. is also Wonder Woman, or just her key people?

I think either some of us are misinterpreting the series of events or I'm misinterpreting it.

From what I can understand, fifteen years ago Superman came on the scene and the Justice League was together for a while. Then Doomsday attacked and Superman died and the Justice League broke up. Then, about five years ago, the Darkseid invasion event -- or some version of that -- happened and the Justice League got back together with its current roster that includes Cyborg. So, basically, the New 52 version of the Justice League is being retconned as the most recent incarnation of the Justice League, which has actually been around before then.

But who founded the original one, Wonder Woman or Black Canary?

Yup Green Lantern is good, but I'd go to Jeff Lemire's N52 run first. Most of the supporting cast spring from that. You can get it in one collection https://www.amazon.com/Green-Lemire-Andrea-Sorrentino-Deluxe/dp/1401257615
Also, it rules. The artist collaboration was so choice they went off and made Wolverine comics together.
You can skip the issues between Lemire's and Rebirth, even though they're by the guy who writes it now, they weren't amazing.

edit: You definitely don't need to seek the N52 issues before Jeff starts. Yeesh.

He means Green Arrow here, not Lantern. You don't need to read Green Lantern for Green Arrow, there's no cross-over or anything.

Grant Morrison thinks he's a wizard and can do real magic.

Aphrodite

Wizards have beards. Morrison doesn't have any hair at all.

Aphrodite

Also Morrison made Magneto Hitler, which is pretty much the only worse Hitlering you can do in comics than Cap.

That was a different Green Arrow though.

The supposed DLC leak was:
1. Darkseid
2. Starfire
3. Black Manta
4. Spawn
5. Terra
6. Katana
7. Klarion The Witch Boy
8. Static Shock

So that seems debunked.

Another leak had the only known DLC characters as Subzero and Vixen. Vixen doesn't have a distinct enough silhouette to really say, that could be her on the right.

Wildcat to the right of Manta? Ooh, or Bronze Tiger. Someone with widdle cat ears sticking up.

Seems to have shoulder length hair though.

Hey now, just because Red Hood is a bit lame in the comics doesn't mean he wouldn't be cool to play in a fighting game. He's certainly more relevant than Sub zero or loving Raiden in a DC game.

It already has Deadshot.

I know the name Jason goes way back but today's trend of Jaydens and Haydens and Kaydens makes it sound modern and just weird there.

Just caught up a couple of issues of Injustice I was behind on.

Is there any universe where Green Arrow and Black Canary's wedding goes smoothly?

Aphrodite

You mean like timeline wise? It's the game's storyline from Harley's perspective.

Aphrodite

Not ends. Starts. Injustice 1 is all about Injustice Batman transporting a bunch of basically-but-not-Earth-1/Prime Earth/New Earth/Whatever it was called at the time heroes to help take down Superman.

... That is by far the worst place way you could have taken that statement. :psyduck:

Adoptive children being considered not 'real' children/unimportant/etc is a pretty frequent problem in a lot of fiction. Bringing back Lois and Clark's kid, even if it's an alternate version of them, only to have him be the evil rival to their biological kid, is pretty crappy. Also the idea that 'half-breed' means 'inferior' is uh an entirely different uncomfortable kettle of fish.

I think when you're talking about a species that has superpowers you can use that terminology.

How is it that both threads went off on someone's random speculation at the same time?

I really, really, really don't want to be E&C but maybe read the thing you're getting mad about first? At least for this it wouldn't have to be Secret Empire.

There's currently both a JLA and a Justice League.

JLA is by Steve Orlando, though I hear it's also not very good?

A number of articles from July 21st call her a new character for the show.

But they were all reporting on the panel itself, so I guess CBR got him to confirm it to them after?

Superman has DNA sequencing vision.

He did the DNA test at super speed, obviously.

Superman could presumably use his telescopic vision to just see DNA similarities I guess?

No, he took it to his pal Batman, whose crime lab is surely so bullshit that it takes the DNA and just pops out a name with no need for a descendant's DNA to match it.

Batman already has everyone's DNA.

I think technically they're bringing the main DC universe into Watchmen.
