So uh, yeah. There are big spoilers there and to not infect people in the DC thread here is a thread where you can freak out about the spoilers. Do not post the actual leaked pictures though. Ignore the first page of chat based on two leaked pages of an 80 page book and just read this entire rundown of the actual book if interested: http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/05/21/dc-universe-rebirth-1-full-spoilers-leak-online X-O fucked around with this message at 09:41 on May 21, 2016 |

So I'll just get it out of the way. Apparently the Watchmen are now in mainline DC continuity. Batman finds the Comedian's smiley face pin with the blood on it, and narrates "WE WERE BEING WATCHED." I really hope this is a huge red herring and Johns is just loving with us. Also pre-N52 Wally West is back and also there are four Jokers now?

Also apparently the JSA are back. I don't think the JSA and Wally being back are worth seeing the Watchmen in mainline continuity.

Alright, let's...let's just stay calm for right now. They wouldn't ACTUALLY bring the Watchmen to mainline canon, right? It's got to just be Johns trying to ruse us. Let's just...wait for the full comic so we can see things in context.

This is why no superheroes work out of DC's New York City, it was destroyed by a psychic alien squid monster however long ago (hypertime)

The Wally thing is rad though, I'll wait and see about Watchmen. I knew the DC thread would turn into a nightmare if I didn't make this thread though.

Wally is in his Kid Flash costume (Whyyy) and is apparently now the leader of the Teen Titans, so I really don't know if it's all worth it.

Watchmen in DC universe continuity is such a stupendously bad idea I kind of can't believe that DC would ever actually do it. I mean the idea just doesn't work, unless they build like an Earth-Watchmen or something with Manhattan being the only one who can cross universes. Like I really don't like DC but I sorta refuse to believe they'd be this fundamentally stupid.

Ah yes, that's the way to get DC back to its meat and potatoes; retconning major events. Echoing what others have said, not running for the bunkers until at the very least we get confirmation of Watchmen in main DC. But if this is all true, gently caress DC.

Real spoilers: Dan DiDio is in a tontine with Alan Moore, and if he can give Moore a big enough heart attack the pirate treasure will be his.

*Batman is struggling to restrain Joker, who is holding a knife over Batman's face* *another Joker walks by* Batman: "Are you working in here while we're battling together?" Joker: "My work with Lex is at a critical stage right now. I didn't think it was necessary to..." Batman: "To what? To tell me which one of you is giving me a pity stab?" Joker: "My attention was completely focused on you."

The spoilers are getting so absurdly insane that at this point I refuse to believe they're real until I see them with my eyes. Congrats, though, DC: You're gonna make me pick up Rebirth, I guess. Oh also, spoilers are saying three Jokers, not four.

My Joker cap is 0 so unless all these Jokers are dying right off the bat, this drastically increases the possibility I'll have to drop books due to too much Joker.

Okay. Am I the only one who kinda loves this idea? It's like the train has driven off the rails, done a backflip, and flew into space. I wanna see the Justice League fight Dr. Manhattan. Heck, I'm practically more apprehensive about this Wally West thing. So we're getting the original white guy, in addition to the young black version who's been appearing?

Hey, remember when DC published a crossover event depicting corporate comics publishers as interdimensional parasites feeding off of existing stories? Fun times.

To be fair they basically saddled someone completely unrelated with a legacy name as a weak half-measure to cede to Wally fans. If there's any justification for a line-wide reboot changing that dude's name, Rebirth is as good a reason as any.
