Gotham will be airing Mondays at 8PM (going head to head with MONDAY NIGHT RAW)

The Flash will be airing Tuesdays at 8PM (Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is being moved to 9PM, so no direct competition there)

Constantine will be airing Fridays at 10PM

Terrible time slot for Constantine.

Anyone post this?

Yes.

Twice even.

DC Cancels the following titles:

All-Star Western
Superboy
Birds of Prey
Batwing
The Phantom Stranger
Pandora


All-Star Western was actually pretty sweet, and one of the only New 52 books worth reading. Though I am way behind on it.

So close to winning!!!

Interesting. The 90/91 Flash show had tons of potential IIRC.

Did somebody do a Flash thread yet?

Dick Grayson is one of my favorite DC characters. Curious to see where this new direction takes him.

My guess would be cancellation

Tim Burton's Batman, a major sub-genre game changer, released 25yrs ago today.

Mark your calenders and count down the days...

The Flash on CW will premiere on October 7th (8PM)
Arrow on CW will premiere on October 8th (8PM)

ARRGHH I liked Batwing He was like a more well ajusted spider=man

BATNEWS!!!

So........are the higher-ups at DC just not aware that there are lots of other really interesting settings in their universe outside of Gotham City?

Nah, they just screwed most of the rest up. Gotham and its characters were mostly untouched by the reboot, so that is where everyone wants to play.

Yeah, but still, I mean............DC has a super-high-tech city run by super-intelligent gorillas, a Jurassic Park island full of dinosaurs, underwater kingdoms and island nations of sexy Amazon warrior women, tons of different crazy alien civilizations and parallel universes and time-travelers who interact with the modern world all the time......and yet everyone only seems interested in the giant slum-city where life sucks and nobody gets any better. It just seems, I dunno, un-ambitious.

The only thing that really bothers about the bat reboots is Tim Drake's new origin.

I think Wonder Woman has fared well in the reboot (not the Superman romance stuff but her own title)

R.E.B.E.L.S. was really good before it was canceled in the impending Flashpoint.

There was a lot of stuff that was really good before Flashpoint.

At least we got Animal Man out of it.

August sees certain comics having 'Selfie' variant covers.

As little as I like selfies, I kinda like that.

A New 52 comic where people are smiling? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?!?!

Every time I see New 52 Superman I weep and feel so depressed....

I still hate the costume with a fiery passion, but I'm kinda sorta really digging the comics themselves. Action Comics has been pretty amazing from the start IMO, and has only gotten better with Greg Pak taking the reins from Grant Morrison, bringing a similar level of creativity as Morrison but more accessible. Scott Snyder and Jim Lee's Superman Unchained has been a lot of fun too, if not on the same level as Snyder's Batman stuff. Adventures of Superman was fantastic, and I hate that it got canceled. And even though I don't like them together, the Superman/Wonder Woman book has done a great job of showing their relationship as both a duo and as a couple.

The main Superman comic itself has been pretty terrible, but it looks like they're trying to turn it around with Geoff Johns and Romita Jr. Johns' last run on Superman was amazing, and his first issue back on the book looks like he hasn't lost his touch.

Justice League is still awful, though.

Got Batman: Year One and New 52 Joker: Death of the Family today, heard they are good reads.

On the subject of DC Comics moving away from being a constant total downer, Batgirl apparently is getting a new creative team and a more upbeat book, complete with a new costume:

Gotta say, I dig it.

On the one hand I'm not happy they're taking Gail on this book. On the other hand...holy hell that's a great redesign.

I'd go with the tighter top but I dig it.

I thought that was just fan art. Saw it the other day.

Looking it up, I see it is legit. I like the costume, but it seems more suited to a younger teenage Batgirl rather than an adult.

Would have been cool on Stephanie Brown.

Well, Barbara's supposed to be the same age as Dick Grayson, who's only about 21 or 22 in the New 52 continuity, so it makes sense that she'd look younger too. I know that continuity-wise that it doesn't really add up, since now both of their careers are ridiculously compressed, but that's more the fault of DC trying to have their cake and eat it too when it comes to the Bat-Family history in the reboot.

Personally, I think they should've hit the hard reset on Batman just like they did with everybody else. If Barbara's Batgirl again, have her just be Batgirl, not the Superheroine Formerly Known As Oracle. It's pretty clear at this point that they don't have any plans to do anything with Stephanie Brown or Cassandra Cain, so Batgirl should have already filled the "late-teen/early-twentysomething girl superhero" slot from the start-- y'know, Batgirl, not The Other, Not-Lesbian Batwoman.

Really, though, I'm just happy that they're giving a major character a more upbeat-sounding book-- anything from DC that isn't more depressing ultra-violent garbage can only be a good thing, right?

There's a not-lesbian batwoman now?

DC is overdoing it with the bat females I think.

Batgirl. Not Batwoman. There's a difference.

Nonono, I just meant that in her present capacity, Barbara Gordon was basically the same role as Batwoman, only not a lesbian. Hence the comma after the word 'other.,

So... Young Justice is amazing.

Just a little behind the times, but... I mean... holy fuck this is good.
