I'm ok with Super-Wondy but I'm just indifferent to the DCn52 outside of Snyder's Batman and Azzarello's Wonder Woman.

I am curious to see where this Shazam nonsense is headed though.

Just finished reading the Supergirl/Linda Danvers series by Peter David. It is quite good. Shifts tone a couple of times but manages to stay pretty sweet. Sad that the character is gone now.

Peter David has said that if the series wasn't canceled, it would have become a Birds of Prey type book, with a cast of Linda Danvers as Superwoman, Kara Zor-El as Supergirl, and Power Girl. Would have loved to see that.

The pages with Megatron and Spider-Man were interesting.

Fignuts 09-01-2012 11:54 PM
Just read the first two issues, and it was the drizzling shits. Like, literally the worst fucking thing I've read in years.

And whoever decided to use Jim Cheung for 1 cover, and not the book itself, is a fucking imbecile. Art is generic looking trash. Think I've seen hostess ads more impressive.

More than a year after NBC passed on a Wonder Woman pilot, Vulture reports that a new series starring the DC icon is in very early development at The CW, with the working title of "Amazon." It's said to be at the script development stage at this point, written by Allan Heinberg — a TV and comic book veteran, whose credits include The O.C. and Marvel's Young Avengers, plus a 2006 run on the Wonder Woman comic book.

The series is said to be a Smallville-esque take on the character, depicting Wonder Woman's early days. Wonder Woman became a household name with the Lynda Carter-starred series that ran on ABC and later CBS for three seasons, from 1976 to 1979; Ally McBeal creator David E. Kelley's 2011 Wonder Woman pilot starring Adrianne Palicki received a mix of abundant pre-release hype and persistent bad buzz, and was ultimately not picked up as a series.

The CW, and its predecessor The WB, has a long history with live-action adaptations of DC Comics properties. Young Superman series Smallville ran for 10 series between WB and CW before wrapping up in 2011, and the short-lived Birds of Prey aired on the WB in 2002. Arrow, based on Green Arrow, is set to debut on The CW on Oct. 10.
*shrug*

Arrow and now Amazon....they really want to have lighting strike twice like they had with Smallville.

Kalyx triaD 09-06-2012 06:43 PM
Well okay, hope this works out for them.

dronepool 09-06-2012 09:43 PM
Why not just reach into the bottomless money pit of WB and work on a good, live Batman show and not spend money on stuff like "Beware The Batman" and just produce a JLA cartoon in the same universe as Batman: The Brave & The Bold?

I'm curious what they will retcon about Tim in Teen Titans #0, in which his background is the focus.

Here's the solicitation:

The Destroyer 09-10-2012 01:18 PM
So much for him never being Robin then.

Sixx 09-11-2012 05:18 AM
Hey, what the fuck happenned to the thread title?

The Destroyer 09-11-2012 05:23 AM
I hadn't even noticed. Change it back!

This used to be my favourite thread.

Now the magic's gone.

Lock Jaw 09-11-2012 09:45 AM
I like it

Schlomey 09-11-2012 10:26 AM
I don't read DC Comics (except maybe a Batman now and then) but I'm very excited for the new tv show on the CW network called "ARROW" ...Holy balls it looks decent ..especially for the CW.

Kalyx triaD 09-11-2012 02:38 PM
Yeah Arrow looks pretty good. Huntress and Deadshot being in there makes me excited, as they were talking like the show wasn't gonna acknowledge the DCU.

I gathered from bleedingcool.com DC has already retconned itself with the zero issues of Superboy and Demon Knights. That only took a year.

Fail.

Wehttam 09-12-2012 06:44 PM
kalyx, im enjoying this comic you have been posting.

is the bookstore clerk a dc character too?

Kalyx triaD 09-12-2012 07:11 PM
He's real life writer Neil Gaiman, who has epic nerd cred similar to Joss Whedon, but more international.

Nowhere Man 09-12-2012 07:47 PM
Though now that I think about it, I don't think Gaiman has ever actually written Superman or Wonder Woman, which kinda makes him an odd choice to be the guy who Clark goes to to get a book for Diana. If it were Alan Moore, maybe, but this seems kinda, I dunno......forced.

Kalyx triaD 09-12-2012 07:49 PM
Or it's just a cool cameo.

Nowhere Man 09-12-2012 07:55 PM
I guess, but so far everyone in the comic has been pretty strictly in-universe. Why break the fourth wall and start introducing people from the real world now?

I mean, I'm hoping there's a specific and integral reason for this-- especially since Gaiman's pretty legendary for his own metafictional writings, about the nature of storytelling and what characters and stories mean to us in the real world, etc. Little League hasn't let me down yet, and they've got the potential to do something really really cool here. If it's just for the sake of a cool nerd-cred cameo, then it's a real wasted opportunity.

loopydate 09-12-2012 07:58 PM
Maybe Sandman winds up involved somehow, either in the story or AS the story Clark buys.

Nowhere Man 09-12-2012 08:03 PM
I'm down with that. Sandman was awesome. And it's technically still in-universe since it took place within the DCU.

dronepool 09-13-2012 01:28 AM
Batman The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 is on streaming sites. Only 30 min and I plan on buying it.

Rammsteinmad 09-13-2012 12:59 PM
What's with all these comic francises lately not going with the character name, but trying something more dramatic, more striking, and more gay?

Smallville was a one-off that worked, I guess... but "Arrow"? "Amazon"? Not DC, but even the new Judge Dredd movie is just called "Dredd". Seriously feels like the next bunch of Marvel movies will be called "The Spider" and "X". :nono:

Also, not trying to sound like a dick, I like DC comics and all, but I just feel that nobody gives a shit about Green Arrow or Wonder Woman. It's either Batman or Superman.

Kalyx triaD 09-13-2012 02:41 PM
That's what they're trying to solve.

Schlomey 09-14-2012 10:50 AM
My boss surprised me with the first three issues of Batman: Incorporated. He knew I loved comics but he didn't know which books I read. I just finished all 3....Good story just totally off the wall and nobody other than Batman/Robin I have ever even heard of. May continue the series who knows.

Could have said the same about Marvel/X-Men/Spiderman up until a few years ago. Iron Man was quite a gamble when it went into production and if that had flopped I doubt we'd have seen Thor/Cap/Avengers.

Kalyx triaD 09-14-2012 01:47 PM
Confirmed:

The Royal Flush Gang will be in the CW's Arrow.

Shadow 09-14-2012 06:47 PM
...why?

Kalyx triaD 09-14-2012 06:50 PM
Why not.

Shadow 09-14-2012 09:01 PM
Well ain't the RFG a Batman villain? I mean I know they get passed around like a cheap deck of cards but I thought they stayed in the Batman part of town and don't get much into Star City.

Also calling it now....10 will be the Daughter of the King and Queen and fall in love with Green Arrow.

Kalyx triaD 09-14-2012 09:20 PM
I don't mind that at all, RFG needs exposure. You wanna wait for the next Batman reboot?

Lock Jaw 09-14-2012 11:16 PM
Royal Flush Gang was primarily a Justice League villain. Though they fought pretty much everybody at one point. Became big jobbers.
