DC Comics Thread

Doesn’t look like that to me, but had I known any better I’d say you have some repressed sexual issues. …in fact the S insignia in your avatar’s doing the same thing you mentioned.

Oh and in the FCBD Superman Family issue-

You know at the height Superman destroyed the comet/rock I’m pretty sure gravity will turn those pebbles into a nightmarish onslaught of shrapnel to those gawking below.

Not evil HMM?!

Nah it’s a cartoonish setting so they’ll just become cute little angels with wings and halos. And a unicorn will escort them to Care Bear Land up high in the sky. It’s not all lolipops and rainbows though. That Grumpy Bear is mean yos!

The one in my avatar is pointing to the empty space below the bottom of the picture.

It takes repressed sexual issues to alter a costume that has remained unchanged for about 70 years specifically to get rid of the trunks. Yeah, they put some more lines on the costume and changed the collar… but come on.

IF only the changes were limited to costume revisions that are so easy to undo!

BUT NO – Didio can’t keep his bad ideas away from iconic characters and they are as a consequence actually becoming more generic under his watch!
It’s pathetic that I enjoy reading DC Comics from the 1960s more than the excremental drivel that gets published monthly now!
It’s pathetic that the better stuff from DC is generally pre-1990s, REPRINTED comic book collections!

DC will not improve its situation until A) they stop doing shared continuity revamps every 5-7 years; B) stick to a a gameplan for more than a year that respects the historical integrity of their main characters; C) leave the characters looking something like their iconic 50+year appearances; D) get better visibility for the characters beyond the animated spin-offs; and E) reassign or FIRE the current editors-in-chief.
It would also help if DC F) respected the intelligence of the long-time readers of its comics and quit gaming the situation. The revamp of its website and the move to Facebook is a good example of the manipulation and sheer inability to come to grips with older readers…

Didio is a bad editor… Has not had a good idea or executed a decent plan through his entire term at DC. This man should not be working in entertainment in any capacity, PERIOD… He has seen at least THREE revamps during his time at DC and they have been uniformally awful! He has not increased the DC brand recognition NOR been successful in keeping the characters consistent. The people doing the best jobs with Superman, Batman, and the rest DON’T work at DC Comics under Dan Didio’s thumb! What does this tell you about his instincts???

Jim Lee — decent artist but an AWFUL character designer. Among the worst character designers in comic book history.

Geoff Johns – Cut his workload to two titles and minor duties. He does not multi-task well and frankly is too much in love of killing characters and doing things for shock effect. His best work has been on Green Lantern but it also highlights his weaknesses, too. Does not seem to be able to breath life and personality into the main character despite some good plots and storyarcs.

^^^ Interesting post. We do spend a lot of time complaining about how DC is stalled on the tracks and how DiDio is an imbecile, but we don’t spend much time talking about practical, commonsense solutions that we’d like to see them use.

Buy Demon Knights, shit is awesome :slight_smile:

The cynical part of me just feels that talking about common sense and DC is just gonna end up being a lot of unfruitful, wishful thinking, like practically every other thread I’ve ever started on this forum.

Robocop will voice Batman in the animated movie for Dark Knight Returns. That’s awesome!

Batman Inc. this week was all WTF weird. In other words I loved it! Gawd I missed this book.

Sano did you catch the Hooded Woman in the issue? It surprised me when I saw her, then it being a #1 makes sense.

Fucking weird, but great start to the comic. Oh happy days.

Peter Weller rules, I hope he does it justice.

Ha Pandora was in the issue too? Thanks man I’ll have to look at it again.

Yeap! Or the best cosplay I’ve ever seen. Check the bar where the dude is musing, next to the arcade machines over his left shoulder.

If we figure out how our theoretical comic company is going to run, then we can seek out the companies who are actually doing that stuff and abandon DC for them. MONEY.

I could write a comic for you guys, been planning it out for a long time just I draw like a retarded three year old. Once I got an artist down it’s smooth sailing.

What’s your comic about? Do you have a script or a treatment or a pitch ready? Not trying to steal your idea or anything. Just curious about what you got.

I could put some stuff up, superhero book (obviously given my love) but with directions I want to see explored. I’m in the middle of trying to rework the main character though since I feel my old design and name is a bit dated while the idea still remains alright.

Once I get shit fleshed out better I’ll shoot a PM.

Yet a full outfit would show it points to the same location you say the Jim Lee outfit is pointing, stop trying to wade your way out of it =V

…but complaining about it’s exclusion doesn’t?
Meh to me the outfit is just colored blue with the S-insignia and a red cape, quit your retarded complaints and go read Morrison’s current Superman run :coffee:

Oh BTW if you don’t mind me asking, what’re your fav. DC (and respective DC imprints like Vertigo, etc.) that you liked from the 2000s era til now? Wanna see if there any DC titles I missed out on that I could read.

To be fair, there is no real good way to say anything positive about Jim Lee’s New 52 character designs. They’re all piss poor.

I don’t care if he’s sexually repressed or whatever, but his designs are flat out awful. I suppose it’s possible he made such terrible designs because he was busy having TOO MUCH sex, but I’m not gonna do the research to find out if that’s the case or not.

Okay the only full Superman arc I’ve ever read was All-Star Superman and I’m looking for some good recommendations.

Preferably things that are available in TPB form and available from online retailers that don’t charge a fortune for shipping (keeping in mind I’m in Ireland).

You must all get Batman Annual, this is not a request, it is a demand.

This book is a beautiful thing, a great story that got me giddy for a return of one of my favorite Batman foes. The New 52 has been very kind to Bat fans so far and I am loving all the different changes or make-overs.
