Thats beautiful. Clark sacrificing to do what is right :-)

This comic seems to capture all the major characteristics of these heroes in their most basic forms.

With this arc coming to a close, I'd love for the "Legion of Delinquents" to come back.

Kalyx triaD 01-28-2013 07:06 PM

Well...

Young Justice will not have a third season. This season's arc will likely lead to a series finale. Not a cancelation per se, as it will likely tie up the current story lines, but the Young Justice universe is coming to an end.

And probably Green Lantern TAS, too.

Replacing them next year will be Beware the Batman, the GCI bat-show where Bruce teams up with Katana; and Teen Titans Go!, where the Teen Titans anime-ish cartoon returns as a skit comedy (no, seriously).

Life goes on and all that.

That sucks. I've spent the last week catching up on YJ. I didn't really care a lot for it for the first 5 or 6 episodes, but I kept going based off of how you guys were talking and I finished the 5th episode of season 2 last night and wish I had a lot more to go through. Really love it, and now it's gone.:'(

Krimzon7 01-28-2013 10:21 PM

My heart is broken. YJ is amazing. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. We're robbed of a truly amazing animation run. DaveBrawl, we've enjoyed the fuck out of this cartoon and this DCYJAU will live forever in our hearts.

Kalyx triaD 01-28-2013 10:24 PM

My anger can be mitigated with an animated movie. PG:13. Same cast. New story.

Krimzon7 01-28-2013 10:26 PM

Thank God we get a video game to immortalize this beautiful creation.

This would make me very happy.

Cartoon Network can suck the widest part of my ass. Seriously this sucks.

Lock Jaw 01-29-2013 12:32 AM

This is the worst news since they canceled the comic book Young Justice (the original one, not the one based on the cartoon).

Nowhere Man 01-29-2013 02:34 AM

Damn it. YJ is honestly the best thing DC has going right now.

Lol superman a big will smith fan apparently.

Lock Jaw 01-31-2013 08:13 PM

Yeah, that was immediately what I thought of when he said "WELCOME TO EARFF"

Nowhere Man 02-01-2013 12:40 AM

He also looks suspiciously like Nicolas Cage.

Seriously, though, I'm really looking forward to that one. It's high time we got Brainiac in some form or fashion.

Lock Jaw 02-01-2013 12:43 AM

But Braniac already had an animated movie! :shifty:

But seriously, yeah... I am disappointed that the art doesn't look more "Gary Frank"ish, with Superman looking more like Christopher Reeve than Nick Cage.

Lock Jaw 02-01-2013 02:12 AM

Just read the latest installment of Smallville Season 11.

SPOILER: show
Jay Garrick coming up... and did I spy the freakin' Anti-Monitor? I'm loving the current "episode".

Blitz 02-01-2013 04:42 AM

Awesome fan made poster.

"After you Rise, you can only go Beyond."

Blitz 02-01-2013 05:28 AM

Honestly feel like it might be the best direction to take the franchise. What is there to possibly do with present day Batman for a while after Nolan? Take it to somewhere it's never been before.

Fignuts 02-01-2013 04:17 PM

Actually never thought of beyond for the next film, but yeah, it makes sense.

Lock Jaw 02-01-2013 04:23 PM

I'm still rooting for Batman Incorporated. Bruce Wayne, now retired, is sponsoring a bunch of "Batmen" around the world.

I don't know why, but it amuses me to no end that the Kents own a pair of Snuggies.

I totally see it, though.

Why are they not allowed to call her Princess? Its what she is.

Kalyx triaD 02-07-2013 02:19 AM

She doesn't want that attention. Bruce is the only one who knows.

Nowhere Man 02-07-2013 11:17 AM

Nice reference in that last frame:

"watching" one of these animated Batman thangs and there is some guy that appears to be the body that Krang lived in in Turtles but there's no Krang and he speaks like James Earl Jones on the other end of the phone

A miniseries called The Hikiteia, from Greg Rucka's run on Wonder Woman (i.e. one of maybe two runs of WW actually worth reading). The basic plot is that Wondy is pledged to protect a woman who killed a bunch of sex-slavers who had killed her sister, and Batman is out to get said woman for being a murdering vigilante. In the end, Batman and Wonder Woman fight, and Wondy beats the living shit out of him, but it doesn't matter because the woman she's protecting commits suicide to atone for the murders.

So yeah, not a particularly happy story (the title's from a Greek tragedy with a similar plot), but probably the best WW story out there.

Krimzon7 02-08-2013 02:07 AM

Holy shit. this brings up a serious question:

How many people have truly kicked batman's ass? I've got it at two.
Bane and Wondy. Again I'm new to DC but I would like to know who else has pwned Bats.

Nowhere Man 02-08-2013 02:27 AM

I know Batman's lost one-on-one to Kobra, Deathstroke, and Prometheus. There are quite a few villains who have beaten Batman in their first encounter, particularly martial artist-types; I'm pretty sure Lady Shiva and Richard Dragon both beat him their first time out, as well as Bronze Tiger, and Karate Kid from the Legion of Super-Heroes has been able to beat him before too.

Oh, and one time Superman beat him nearly to death when Max Lord made him hallucinate that Batman was Darkseid (and was only stopped by Wonder Woman, so that makes her 2 for 2 against both of DC's favorite sons).

parkmania 02-08-2013 10:23 PM

DC Comics has announced the that the tear-stained final issues of Fury of Firestorm, Ravagers, Savage Hawkman, Deathstroke, Team 7, and Sword and Sorcery will be published in May. Add in the two books that are going away in April (I, Vampire and DCU Presents) and it appears that 8 titles, almost 15% of the “New 52” are heading for extinction this spring, and that’s not even taking into account the four cancellations that were announced in October and took effect in January (Blue Beetle, Grifter, Legion Lost, Frankenstein, see “New 52 Churn Continues as DC Axes 4”).



While DC has announced a number of new titles including a new JLA series, plus Vibe, Katana, and a new Superman/Man of Steel title from Scott Snyder and Jim Lee (see “Jim Lee and Scott Snyder on New Superman Title”), this new wave of cancellations appears to make room for a platoon of new titles to debut this spring and summer.



A look at the most recent ICv2 sales chart (see “Top 300 Comics—December”) shows that the six newly-cancelled titles all have circulation numbers well below 20,000 copies with Ravagers #7 leading the pack with just over 16,000 copies, followed by Team 7 #3 (at 15,381), Sword and Sorcery #3 (13,752), Savage Hawkman #15 (13,564), Deathstroke #15 (13,528), and Fury of Firestorm #15 (11.997).



Note that while Savage Hawkman, Deathstroke and Fury of Firestorm have been around from the beginning of the “New 52” initiative, the other three cancelled titles were “replacement” books brought on to take the place of previous members of the “New 52” that couldn’t pass muster. Does the high mortality rate among the replacement books serve as an indication that “52” may be a few books too many for DC to sustain at profitable levels?

Nowhere Man 02-09-2013 02:22 AM

For the life of me, I don't understand their fixation on having 52 different titles going all at once. I get that 52 was one of their best events and all, but in interviews, DiDio himself said that he hated that series, so I don't get why he'd want to make it so integral to the DCnU. Having that many titles just bogs down your creative team.

I do, however, want to see what Scott Snyder comes up with for the new Superman book, considering that Snyder's run on Batman has been awesome.

Kalyx triaD 02-09-2013 04:48 AM

I don't understand DCnU period.
