DC Comics Thread

pretty much all i needed to hear

What the crap, man. Superman isn’t supposed to want to run away from anybody. Sheesh. Straight garbage.

Haha, we can vote for some of the fighters in the Countdown spinoff.

Darn, it doesn’t look like they are going to let the WildStorm characters in on any of the voting. No Earth-52, BOO. I still voted for Red Son Superman and Liberty Files Batman.

@ Namingway: BOOSTER GOLD, MOTHERFUCKER!!! WHAT IS GOOD?! One of the best reads(GL and JSA) from last weeks batch. Holy fuck, what a great comic book. Everything else from DC sucks.

he said a side of him wants to runaway not he actually runs away and thats true. remember when darkseid first came to be hollllyyy shit superman shat his pants. but he knew he was the only one who could really stand up to him and this is broken ass superman too.

over the years they’ve majorily downplayed darkseid…only dcu was really giving off a true adaption of what darkseid really is. I’m glad their getting back to their roots of the dc universe all at once shitting their pants at the sight of him.

DC isn’t getting back to NO roots at all. They’re just finally putting a stop to nerfing a villain. That’s all. But I guess you can say they’re getting back to their roots, what with all this multiverse bullshit they got going, it’s only going to turn into one gigantic mess.

Anyway, Booster Gold/GL/JSA > DC finally going back to it’s roots.

Whatever they do, if they are going to rebuild Darkseid’s street cred, they should do it by making HIM a badass. Not by making Superman or any other big gun look like a pussy.

Also, they need to stop taking the multiverse so seriously. It’s such a ridiculous concept but they are playing it with a straight face. I can’t understand how there’s hardly any tongue-in-cheekiness to this whole affair.

You mean like how they brought Jason Todd back to life just so they can draw a sad face on Batman’s face? You know, just to keep the artist bullpen nice and talented?

Fuck, DC is so backwards right now. Geoff Johns is the only dude on point. I can’t believe I’m gonna say this: Flash #231 sucked. There, I said it. I finally got that off my chest after a month of holding it in.

flash as in impulse or wally west?

Wally West.(#231)

Yeah. That’s exactly what I mean. That, and how Deathstroke punked a gang of Justice Leaguers back in Identity Crisis. That’s so weak when writers do stuff like that. I hate that.

Winick runs a superhero team like a Reality Show.

not surprising since that’s how he got his break.

the reason Titans fucking sucked throughout the 90s was because it stopped being a superhero book, and became about who’s shacking up with who, and basically was Dawson’s fucking Creek.

with orange women and green men.

then they decided the Titans needed their fucking edge back, so they took the last fun book DC did (Young Justice), decided the kids were too goofy, so they took that away, shot the only kid who was still fun, and angsted up the title.

then, they took the leftovers (the former Titans), and gave Winick Carte Blanche to continue with the fucking sappy soap opera shit.

so, this is just more of the same. The Titans are only good when they’re Teenagers, it would seem.

once they hit the big two-oh, they get boring, and whiny.

uh? its not like thats the first time deathstrokes owned the jl

Yeah, but he was always known more for being a Titans villain than a JLA villain. “Hey! Let’s just pit him against he ENTIRE Justice League(whatever is left of it anyway) and have him “kill” Firestorm and beat up the rest!”

I think the first couple years of the Johns/McKone Titans was pretty great. It was just something different. I can see why it sucks that they canceled Young Justice just to do revamp TT, but there were some entertaining arcs in the Johns/McKone era.

It’s not that Deathstroke shouldn’t be allowed to beat up on the big guns. It’s how he did it in IDC. Come on. Green Lantern throwing a punch with his ring hand? And then somehow, Deathstroke has the willpower to fight for control over a weapon that’s supposed to only respond to its owner? That’s lazy writing right there.

But I would enjoy it if you could refer me some comics in which Deathstroke owns the JLA because I can’t really think of anything off the top of my head.

On a sidenote, I was reading on ESPN a while ago that the Cowboys’ QB coach is named Wade Wilson. Maybe he will teach Romo how to be faster than the Flash and how to have such great vision he can see atoms. Just like DEADPOOL

Did anyone NOT vote for GL-Batman? Cause I definitely did.

Ha, yeah, I voted for Batman GL, too. It would be a disgrace if he did not win his round.

Man countdown is getting worse and worse with each issue, #34 and #33 was so blaaaaahh

Yeah, they made the Impulse-Flash series shitty, and basically said “Don’t Worry, Wally’s series will rock as a reward”.

and it fucking stinks.

They never should’ve killed Bart, but to kill him to usher in a series that is JUST AS SHITTY is even worse, because then he dies in vain!

So, I just saw the preview for Flash #232. That book is just pissing me off. Can they please get rid of Mark Waid already? Yeah, I bet that dark secret involves the Speedforce.

Superman Doomsday Animated Movie comes out tomorrow in video stores, Wednesday in comic book shops. Buy it, rent it, get on Demand but please go see it it’s Bruce Timm working on Superman again maaaaang! :rock:
