Some rumors of DC doing a reboot in January when DEATH METAL ends and the ENDLESS WINTER event might lead to it.

Jim Lee told The Hollywood Reporter than John Ridley (Oscar winning writer of 12 Years A Slave) will be doing a Batman miniseries that will have a huge impact on the Bat-line. Ridley was the author scheduled to write Luke Fox as Bats when 5G was going to be a thing.

Interesting.

Ben Affleck coming back as Batman in The Flash movie

Glad to hear, I am a fan of Battfleck

Yeah, be good to give him an "ending" of sorts before Pattison takes over

Same. Excited to see him and Keaton in the same film. Hopefully Affleck will finally get to be in a critically acclaimed comic book film. I'm sure they're gonna kill him off tho.

Don't know when I changed my mind but I'm so for a multiverse these days.

Doesn't deserve it's own thread yet, but some Black Adam concept art:



Also revealed that the JSA lineup to be featured in the film is: Atom Smasher aka Al Rothstein, Hawkman aka Carter Hall, Cyclone aka Maxine Hunkel, and Doctor Fate.

PrettyCool at Cyclone getting the adaptation after not existing for almost a decade....

Hawkman/Doctor Fate had the Egypt connection to Black Adam in the comics, and we all know what happened with Atom Smasher and Black Adam so they are all solid choices to make it.

Still... I know it isn't their movie, but seems like an odd assortment of members.... hopefully they are alluded to as being from a larger team...

Shazam 2 officially titled "Fury of the Gods"

I watched most of Fandome. Gotta hand it to DC. They made the best of a shitty situation and put on a good show with tons of exclusive. WW84, The Suicide Squad and The Batman stole the show.

Got HBO Max, and started watching Harley Quinn.

Thespian Clayface is best Clayface.

Yeah, love Clayface on that show. Tremendous depiction.

Fucking Kite Man too, holy shit he's amazing.

That show all around is just amazing. Really hoping for a S3.

Would have had me fooled clean. I'd be like, "Cool, Batman meant Bruce Wayne. What a mission so far."

I saw this one recently on TV

Guess the janitor is writing it.

as long as its not the guy who fucked with the watchmen im down

These events are basically Battle Passes now.

So tired of these things by both companies.\
Rather read 40 year old reprints

I’ve been reading stuff outside of the big two for a year or so now, and I’ve enjoyed it immensely. Most of them are anywhere between 20-50 issues long, and it’s so great reading a story with a beginning, middle, and end, without having to worry about a billion tie ins, or crossover events postponing the story.

Some of the stuff I’ve read that I would recommend:

Gideon Falls
Deadly Class
Black Science
Wicked and the Divine
Die
Saga

Saga the best ongoing comic right now

Unrelated note to anything.....

I wish Tim Drake had stayed with the pre-Flashpoint Red Robin costume (the Kingdom Come one).... really felt like with that costume he could become his own character and grow and become on the level of Nightwing where you think of him as that character and not "former Robin" (even though Red Robin has Robin in the name I guess).

Instead, new 52 gave him terrible costumes..... then Rebirth put him back in pretty much the Robin suit but with two Rs.

Although he was awesome in Detective Comics Rebirth so I can't complain too much.... until Bendis got him and just ignored all his excellent character arc in Detective Comics.... eventually renaming him Drake as his superhero name (probably not wise to use your last name as your hero name) and giving him a drab costume.......... but now I just read something that he flip-flopped and now he is just "Robin" again in the old Robin costume again.....

Just feel like they missed the boat with actually getting him to grow like Nightwing.....

Oh yeah, I forgot that Red Robin got a new costume right before Flashpoint too, and I didn't like it.... much preferred the Kingdom Come garb with the cowl.... gave him a more distinct look and made him feel more "grown up"

Saga is what opened the floodgates for me, in terms of alternatives to DC and Marvel.

But is it ongoing? Is it really?

:(

Well fuck

Can't put into words how much I love this page.

DCeased was largely forgettable, but I'm very much enjoying The Unkillables.

Christ almighty the White Knight books might be my favorite Batman stories of all time.

Plenty of stories have showcased batman's flaws as a person, but never in such a deep and meaningful way. So fucking good.

Excellent News:

Brian Bendis is leaving Superman's orbit. His final issues of Action Comics and the Superman title itself will be in December. Now just keep him away from any other hero he'd derail, like Bats, Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman or Green Lantern. Let Bendis play w/ Green Arrow or someone he can't screw up forever.
