Didn't know there's a new photo of the Joker from Empire magazine.

god he looks so terrible

Some creator said they were styling him after 90s Cuban gangsters or some stupid shit like that.

ah yes of course, the joker's well known historical association with cuban gangs

god he gives off such x-pac heat

Not to go Kalyax here, but let's chill with the anti-Jared Leto Joker hate.

Maybe it fits in with the movies...Maybe

Fits or not, it looks stupid. I can't imagine a scenario where I'd like this look.

I'm just gonna wait till it comes out. I'm not big on Ledger's look but I enjoyed the character more than enough to care what he looked like.

I get the hate on the look though.

I like it, looks crazy must be crazy.

i did not express any hate towards jared leto or what he will do with the role, i know better than to write off an actor's actual interpretation of a character before i've seen it

my hatred, at this advent, lies entirely with the visual presentation, which i am perfectly entitled to not like at face value because it is face value

Exactly. ^

He might turn out to be a great Joker, who knows. But the look is just terrible imo. All of it, the tattoos, the stupid Jaws from James Bond teeth, the pimp overcoat.

Didn't a lot of people not like Ledgers peeling messy facepaint?

I recall a lot of complaining(I loved how disheveled he looked) but other people complained that he looked half-assed or "not like the joker"

my only ONLY complaint is that the lack pf extended lipstick it enhances the face so much.

I know you meant the look I just didn't know how else to word it.

Also I'm not saying you aren't entitled to not like the look. I'm just saying it might not be that bad. It could work.

Wonder Woman can't wait for Star Wars!!

I want so many beheadings.

He looks like a Chav...

Can UK posters confirm this?

stoked for legends (kalyx did you also mark out for 'i have seen men of steel die and dark knights fall'?) but still can't shake the feeling that the addition of cold and heatwave is kind of gratuitous and suuuuuper left-field

firestorm looks great in full costume though

the time travel aspect will straddle a thin fucking line between awesome and gimmicky. apropos of nothing really, the last couple x-men films have pulled it off fine, but idk there could be some kitschness lurking in some plot threads here

Oh I fucking flipped. That kind of direct reference (exactly what you're talking about in the Jones thread), for THOSE two, was unheard of. I think Arrow and Flash have gained enough confidence from top brass to get away with bigger things. It just so happens we have a Kryptonian headlining her own show and Gotham showcased in another, so it's probably gonna end at words.

I'm thinking Heat Wave is gonna do something crazy very early on that gets him kicked out or killed. It is absurd, based on what we seen of him, that he is let on the team. Then again, these are decisions made by a time-traveler from the future. Maybe Heat Wave does something great, I dunno.

I imagine the time travel aspect will be 'Sliders' like and really just be a 'setting of the week' kind of thing. And also a great reason to check out some other historical heroes like Jonah Hex or THE LAST BOY ON EARTH. If... they wanna go that direction.

It looks like it might be mainly focused on Captain Cold, which would be terrible.

Wentworth Miller is just ridiculous in this role.

Gotta say I don't mind his turn.

Then again I'm not a Captain Cold purist or anything. I wouldn't know what a bad version of him would be. Cold Gun and coat is good enough for me.

Neither am I. I'm not talking about his look, I'm talking about his behavior. The way he talks, the faces he makes. Dunno, just seems like he's trying to pull off a "sinister mastermind" way, way too hard.

Give him a mustache to twirl already.

"Powerless" officially ordered to series by NBC

http://www.comicbookresources.com/im...nner-5250e.jpg

Only hero confirmed to be in it so far is the obscure "Crimson Fox"....

supergirl picked up for season 2, but moving to the cw. nice. good move. also captain cold is no longer gonna be a series regular on legends but a 'dc' series regular so he'll be back on the flash (been a season without the rogues really) next season at least, maybe arrow, idk. will still 'appear' on legends.

Finally got round to buying a heap of books recently, got through Hush, Injustice: Gods Among Us Year One, The Killing Joke and A Death in the Family. Also got some Daredevil and Punisher vs The Marvel Universe too.

DC Comics new logo

http://i.newsarama.com/images/i/000/...jpg?1463500177

Kinda annoyed with this rebirth shit. Made it a dedicated effort to accumulate every monthly from the main Batman line from right after the opening arc through now. If this shit starts back over at 1 I'm gonna be fairly chapped.

I like the new logo. Green Lantern: Rebirth was really good when they did that so I'm curious to see how this DC: Rebirth goes. I am optimistic.

Speaking of Green Lantern, big shake-up at DC's movie division as Geoff Johns is the new head. Here's hoping he fires Snyder after Justice League is done filming.

It sounds like Snyder is technically fired anyway. He's only doing JL p1 now. Affleck will probably head up p2.

DC: Rebirth is really good.

I'm ready for DC comics to be about hope again and this is a great start. Lots of surprises if you haven't read about them yet + surprisingly emotional. For 2.99 if you've ever liked DC Comics it is so worth it. Really, really terrific.

Will try to pick it up today..... Actually been reading a bunch of "new 52" comic books recently....

Just purchased "DC Universe: Rebirth".... probably the first single comic book issue I have purchased since 2011.... About to crack it open... will post my thoughts afterwards.... been doing my best to avoid spoilers thus far....

same, was the first single-issue i have bought in years. i really liked it.

My thoughts



I wonder if I should stick with any series or check anything out....

I want to check out Batman #1

and the art for Wonder Woman #1 looks really cool

Flipping through my copy of Rebirth.... Actual feeling of comic book in hand feels good..... Should I go buy more.... Considering it.... What should I buy..... I'm usually a Superman guy, but that seems confusing as F..... Could follow Wally West maybe.....

Should prob consider that owning paper single issue comics these days seems so "inefficient" when it comes to cost and also storage......

But feels good....

Ok.... Bought Superman Rebirth and the first issues of Superman and Action Comics of this new era.... Prob made a huge mistake....
