I'm still mad at how bad Black Adam was.
Poor JSA, this probably kills them off for awhile now too. |
Oh yeah, Dark Crisis (of course) teases the next big, most evil bad to ever bad villain for whatever I'm sure the next 8 month long event series that starts in the summer and ends in winter will be in 2023
SPOILER: show shrugs and sighs |
Like...that group doesn't look like they could beat one superhero...let alone all of them
also SPOILER: show |
Two Peacemakers and two evil versions of heroes? The fuck?

I mean, how do you tell new and interesting stories with characters that have existed for decades? It can't be easy.
That's why I've gravitated towards elseworlds and bkack label stuff. Freeing the story from the confines of the main dcu gives creators more freedom in exploring new ideas, and also keeps things self contained to a small, beginning and end story without having to worry about tying it into future projects. That's also why I'm more into indie comics now as well. |
Reading Bendis' Checkmate series, a follow up on his terrible Event Leviathan....
What is even going on here... Issue #3 has a giant "WHO IS DAEMON ROSE"? on the front cover. The name Daemon Rose is not even mentioned in the entire book. Issue #5 has a shadowy figure on the cover with the caption "THE DAEMON ROSE REVEALED!" Nowhere in the issue, or any of the issues in between, is the name Daemon Rose referred to. |
DC has decided to undo Superman revealing his idenity to the world.
In Action Comics 1050 Lex Luther forces Manchester Black to psychically erase it from *most* of the world's memory. |

Just read the "Superman Smashes the Klan" graphic novel..... was very excellent....
|
HBO Max cancels Doom Patrol and Titans....
Haven't started season 4 of Doom Patrol yet but I love the show so sad to see it go.... Titans I never watched past season 1, which was like watching some sort of odd trainwreck that you felt compelled to continue looking at.... |
The whole premise of Titans seemed dumb.
"It's Teen Titans, but they can say bad words and do real violence". |
I tried watching Titans but couldn't make it past 3 episodes. Just a terrible, terrible adaptation.
|
More like dork crisis, right guys?!

I personally do not like Grant Morrison's Batman run outside of the brief time Dick Grayson took over as Bats so this one is gonna be rough for the slikster
|
Also did not enjoy Tom King's Supergirl
|
Will keep an open mind though...
|
Never been a huge fan of The Authority but I guess I never read their "heyday" when they weren't even under the DC umbrella yet
|
Oh good they're finally going back to the Green Lantern well. Let's see if this one sucks as much as the Ryan Reynolds one did.
|
I hope if Booster Gold is successful and gets more seasons that he eventually goes to an alternate Earth and interacts with another Booster Gold, who would be the one introduced in the last episodes of Legends of Tomorrow, and they do a little bit of wrap up on the dangling story. Wishful thinking, and it would probably be like a decade old by then anyways.
|
Wish Lanterns was about Simon Baz/Jessica Cruz.......
I know Hal Jordan and John Stewart are the "big names", but they are also the two most boring lanterns. Would have also preferred Kyle Rayner/Guy Gardner |
They’re doing a Booster Gold film aren’t they? I remember being excited because a couple of years ago I looked up loads of these characters and he was the one I thought deserved inclusion. I cannot remember why but I wager it was personality based, they all have the same powers…
|
Apparently it’s a series by James Gunn.
Are there any safer hands in the game right now? |
Flash showrunner says he originally wanted to do an episode or two to wrap up Legends of Tomorrow plotlines but with the shortened final season couldn't fit it in..... but he also says that the Legends will still make an appearance.

Just finished reading Tom King's Rorschach series.... didn't care for the end, but otherwise enjoyed the story/ride.
I will say that it 100% did not need to be a Rorschach series, being only tangentially tied in with a Rorschach and tangentially tied in with the Watchmen universe. Could have told the exact same story in its own universe with some very minor tweaks. Probably the most "egregious case" of shameless exploitation of the Watchmen brand. |
I did enjoy DC's recently relaunched Superman #1
It had the perfect tone and was fun. An easy starting point for anyone wanting to read a Supes comic. (conveniently linked to below) https://readcomicsonline.ru/comic/superman-2023/1 DC has announced more new #1s coming this summer: Green Arrow #1 - Ollie is trapped in another universe The Flash #1 - will now be a Cosmic Horror book (not sure that is a good fit for Wally West) Wonder Woman #1 - Amazons are banned in the U.S. following a mass murder, written by Tom King (so I assume it will be really depressing) Steelworks #1 - featuring STEEL and his daughter Cyborg #1 Brave & The Bold #1 Hawkgirl #1 Green Lantern #1 |
I’m 3 parts into Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and so far like it more then Joss Whedon’s version. Don’t get me wrong it’s ridiculous that it’s 4 hours long, but enjoyable. There is a lot of slow motion musical choices which are pretty funny, and probably a reason why it’s 4 hours.
One pro-Whedon cut is Steppenwolf’s voice. It way to digitized for my liking in the Snyder version. I’d much rather hear Ciaran Hind’s voice then what I’m hearing now. |
I finished Justice League last night. I really liked it, and it is superior over the Whedon version. Now I’m not going to be a soldier Zach Snyder army, but I would want more of these. I know I’m not getting anything else, but I would like it.
It’s not perfect by any means, and I think Snyder didn’t nail the ending. After the big battle they just moved really fast to end it, and we could have had 5 more minutes as crazy as that sounds. The Knightmare scenes are great even though they pop out of no where, and can be confusing. I could have used more Darkseid in the movie. I wasn’t that impressed with him. Movie wise I’m going Thanos way over Darkseid in the movies so far. |
|
Missed opportunity if Michael Rooker doesn't play Lex in some kind of capacity. One of those movies/series that are outside the main timeline.
|
Watched the series finale of The Flash.... the final four episode story-arc was pretty decent...
SPOILER: show And so the "Arrowverse" comes to a close with a whimper, but it was quite the ride for the years that we had it. End of an era... |

Just read a short Superman story (from the "Superman - Red and Blue" anthology series) where a bunch of social media "influencers" and "stars" were jumping off of tall things doing the #savemesuperman challenge. Thought that was clever because that is totally what some of these dumb people out there would do. I wish it was a bit longer story.
