Yeesh. I like Taylor a lot, but Cyborg sucks.

There sure is a lot going on in HiC that probably speaks to Kings own issues with therapeutic treatment.

Also has the speed force ever been described as functioning this way, by anyone?

Also why is everyone trying to work out who he is, is Leviathan not taking place in contemporary comics?

The Justice League broke the Source Wall, which released this cosmic lady who had birthed the universe for evil before her kids, Monitor, Antimonitor and a new guy, shut her away.
Lex has let her turn him into one of the "apex predator" creatures she originally populated her evil universe with. This also involved him absorbing Martian Manhunter.

Luthor blew himself up and then came back in a clone body only genetically redesigned to match Perpetua's* original blueprint for humanity. Supposedly it makes him better in... ways... that we haven't really seen, in practice thus far it's just allowed him to act like even more of a prick.

*Perpetua is the heretofore never mentioned creator/god of the multiverse who was sealed away behind the Source Wall because her plans were some kinda hosed up "only the strong survive" hell earths.

Grey Superman is a weird look I can't lie.

Holy crap Tom Taylor's Superman is boring and dumb.

Superman had to break his longtime vow to not euthanise someone in incredible pain, who was not going to get better. The horror.

Bruce should just build a totally and completely inescapable cell in the Batcave that's completely impossible for the Joker to get out of and keep him there. :colbert:

Too bad he'd only be there for like three issues before the reveal that he has a GPS chip under a fingernail and now all the clowns are planning an attack on the Batcave to free him.

I was reading some godawful event comic tie in where exactly this happened, except it was Deadshot and some other people with names, and the prison was introduced and broken out of within three pages.

All according to keikau.

Because the Batman comics have been weird and somewhat bad recently.

If you don't want to read an Atom story where everyone has lost their powers except him, but his powers have changed to just making one hand really big, you are not a true DC fan. Even typing this out it is hard to believe this was a story published in the last decade. Just jaw dropping.

Sorry, what?

But it's also kind of odd that every crim in Gotham has the capability to be a cat burglar, surely some have to bomb out and still go back to henching.

tbh "any criminal can be a cat burglar" seems like one of the least implausible things that happens in gotham every week

Oh for sure and I more mean that it's an interesting shakeup that still leaves lots of room for other stories to be told while it's dealt with.
