Bendis goes out of his way to mention there being 7 Crises again in Action Comics this week, he's brought this up in Young Justice too...

And Naomi's next couple issues are supposed to reveal her ties to the mulitiverse and Bendis has said it's something new that he hopes will affect the DCU for years.


I wonder if Bendis is eventually setting up all his various books to his own big event, tied to the reason behind their being 7 crises maybe? Maybe Naomi, w/e her secret is, Gemworld, Young Justice, Leviathan, Justice League involved?

slik 02-28-2019 01:08 AM

Last week's Aquaman was so good. Introduced a whole new pantheon of sea gods and gave the DCU a new 'origin' of creation from it. Very cool art. Would 100% recommend.

Lock Jaw 02-28-2019 01:48 AM

Very behind in Justice League.... still haven't read the Drowned Earth thing.... which means I am behind in Aquaman too....

Probably won't pick up the newest Heroes in Crisis until next week, because a new Doomsday Clock is coming out then, so I might as well wait another week before going to the local comic bookery

Shazam #3 good

King Kid seems like he might be 'nefarious' and 'devious' but whole book is very colorful/fun/charming

slik 03-06-2019 09:14 AM

UGH @ Bendis for this :n:


SPOILER: show

Connor Kent now is married and has a kid via Young Justice #3...can Bendis just chill on all the Super family shakeups for a bit.

Lock Jaw 03-06-2019 07:51 PM

Season 8 of Arrow will be its last, and consist of 10 episodes.

Kalyx triaD 03-06-2019 09:45 PM

Good run.

I wonder who will be the new Flash when Ezra Miller gets fired for being a dumb douche.

Seanny One Ball 03-19-2019 11:37 AM

Oi, Ezra is the bees knees

I think he has been good so far!

First look at Stargirl from the upcoming show (part of S.T.R.I.P.E. in the background):

Looks pretty good. Easily the best looking of the live action Stargirls.

RP 03-31-2019 07:48 PM

Looks like Brie Larson got in Captain America's closet and carved up his clothes to her liking and then went to the prom.

I stopped watching after I found Melissa Benoist's fuck picks. She's no longer pure.

Damian Rey 2.0 04-02-2019 01:46 AM

Why can't they call him that joker?

Kalyx triaD 04-02-2019 02:18 AM

Some horseshit WB's always been on regarding how they handle TV and movie representations of characters. They have been at this for a looooong time, despite countless examples of inconsistencies.

Tom Guycott 04-02-2019 02:43 AM

Didn't they also specifically go out of their way to not call Batman Batman when referenced in Arrow (ie: "that lunatic in Gotham City")? I don't understand why some characters are so sacrosanct but others are shoehorned in or namedropped incessantly.

I mean, I *get* the issues Marvel had with stuff like that, given the history of divided rights, but DC seems to just impose these restrictions arbitrarily among whatever project they're putting out, be it theatrical, live action TV, or various animated incarnations.

When your made-for-tv " Not Joker" Joker looks 1000 times better than your multimillion-dollar big screen Suicide Squad Joker

Heroes in Crisis #8

SPOILER: show
Confirmed that Wally West killed everybody. Wonder how long until he gets "Parallax'd" and they'll make it seem like it wasn't his fault at all.

Dunno

Damian Rey 2.0 04-25-2019 02:27 AM

They cut filming on that show 3 episodes early and apparently their universe is in question according to my Facebook feed

mitchables 04-25-2019 02:32 AM

it's not that grim; it's 'in question' only because it may get absorbed into the broader warner bros streaming service to consolidate the subscriber base. plenty of reports note the dcu service itself is outpacing the expectations they had for it. if they keep up the quality found in doom patrol then opening the service up to a wider potential audience shouldn't be a bad thing

I think I am the only person who likes Heroes In Crisis. When I read the issue it made sense why he did all this to me. Bro snapped.

slik 04-25-2019 10:46 AM

Tom King said on Twitter he's received death threats after the latest issue of Heroes In Crisis.

People are crazy.

Hence why I cited my Facebook feed. I know they're still pouring moneyinto in house productions, like Titans. They're obviously not strapped.

good and normal response to physically threaten a writer because they did something to a fictional character

i want to fucking sink into the earth and die for being associated with the stunted chimps who inhabit most nerd fandoms

to be totally honest i don't really care what happens to the service or any of the other shows, so long as doom patrol survives on some platform for many seasons to come

Damian Rey 2.0 04-26-2019 01:15 AM

Fair enough. I've not watched anything from them, tbh.

mitchables 04-26-2019 01:29 AM

doom patrol is honestly one of the best shows being produced right now period

titans was good - i was really stoked on it when it first landed - but doom patrol made me readjust my scale somewhat. still, i feel like titans' next season has the potential to be really great.

Lock Jaw 04-26-2019 03:58 PM

Titans was "not good" in my opinion. Will still watch next season because... I dunno.... in its "not good"ness, it has something that is like.... "I want to see how weird and not good this is"


Got a bunch of Doom Patrol on my DVR now... I should start it.... They were good on Titans

Damian Rey 2.0 04-27-2019 02:47 AM

The crusty bald old fart they casted as Bruce Wayne in titans is....uninspiring

Kalyx triaD 04-27-2019 03:26 AM

That guy is actually pretty decent.

Damian Rey 2.0 04-28-2019 01:12 AM

I'm sure he's a decent enough actor. But as Bruce Wayne? Meh as far as look goes.

Kalyx triaD 04-28-2019 12:21 PM

The last four Bruce Waynes didn't look like Bruce Wayne.

Damian Rey 2.0 04-28-2019 10:53 PM

Affleck looked more like Wayne than any of them. And I'm not arguing for or against the previous castings. That's irrelevant. I'm saying I don't like this castingbecause, to me, I can't buy him as Bruce Wayne.

Lock Jaw 04-29-2019 12:30 AM

I thought they cast Iain Glen as Bruce Wayne.... he's old and crusty, but he isn't bald?

Damian Rey 2.0 04-29-2019 01:57 AM

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...-Iain_Glen.jpg

Tis thinning quite a bit. Maybe he'll be good. Who knows. I just personally don't care for the casting.
