Pretty glad that I don't read any DC comics anymore. I've dropped off on reading a lot, actually, but I'm at the point where the real world is lovely enough that I don't want to read misery porn anymore. Those pages posted were gross as gently caress.

Generally when I worry about people I don't graphically think of them getting their brains blown out or decapitated by a laser or burned at the stake.

Xelkelvos posted:You joke, but the newest Young Justice has an Earth-3 Robin that goes by the name Drake because it's a bird and the cahracter is an rear end in a top hat. That is also gonna be what Tim goes by going forward, along with the new ugly costume. Because nothing like using your actual last name for a code name to preserve your identity.

X-O posted:That one seems like less of a hard sell because there's 30 other Batman related books where the "real" Batman can fight the Batman Who Laughs or any of the Jokers 3. Yeah but they could have done that years ago and keep DickBats with OG Batman but they didn't do that for some reason. Not keeping DickBats around was a crime.

Madkal posted:I think it is more a trend of modern writers (hello Snyder) trying to make Joker super edgy. Sure he poisoned people in the past, but now he is racking up kill counts in the dozens. Sure he used Joker gassed a lot of people but now he is using their body parts to spell his name or some such bullshit. I keep saying this, but the Joker isn't the Joker if there isn't the possibility that he won't kill someone. Like, sometimes the flower that squirts water should just be water and not acid. Or he should find it just as funny to knock some ice cream out of a kid's hand as to murder his family. It's so much more interesting when he's just as apt to pull a harmless prank as he is to kill someone. Like in Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? when he tells a kid he doesn't randomly kill people, but only when it's funny.

quote:It’s called Rorschach not because of the character Rorschach, but because what you see in these characters tells you more about yourself than about them. Oh gently caress off Tom King. Death Knights is also terrible. The Batman Who Laughs is the loving worst and continuing to use that character in any way is the fastest way to get me to roll my eyes at the whole thing.

Green Lantern Corps was good when Tomassi wrote it. I remember when Soranik Natu was an interesting character and not evil just because she's Sinestro's daughter. And actually being used.

Darth Nat posted:I still can't get over Three Jokers seeming like one of those ideas I would have at 3am and think that it's brilliant at the time, only for me to wake up later and wonder what on earth I was thinking. Yeah I just want a Christmas with the Joker story with him. Where there are elaborate death traps and clues to send him all around, and when the Joker has the upper hand he gets Batman to get a pie to the face. I guess I really just want the animated series version.

I wonder if DC will start releasing people from exclusive contracts. I don't think it's gonna survive much longer in its current form and will just sort of turn into an IP farm.

Three Jokers was pretty lame. It also just goes to show how messy DC's continuity really is. It doesn't even feel connected to what's going on in Batman with Joker War.
