    DC reboot

    I took it. Didn't have any problems. Weird that you guys did.

    I'm also more convinced than ever that Knightwing works for DC.

    That bothers me more than anything else. More than Batman getting (what seems to be physically impossible, given clothing positions) sex from Selina. That pretty much ruins a great character. I never really held any stock in DiDio being a sexist piece of crap, but this reboot has me thinking that's exactly what he is. As the man said:

    That brings up an interesting question: Did Emerald Twilight happen at all? Is Coast City gone? Did Hal ever die or anything?
  5. I definitely don't like that Deadshot. They certainly should've redone the armored version.

    Maybe this is just me, but why does Dan Jurgens keep getting work? To me, him and Liefeld represent the two 1990s art styles that look most dated by today's standards. Of course, Shoulderpads Rob still gets jobs too, so maybe I'm just missing something.
  7. Nice. The art in that whole damn issue was sloppy.

    Flipped through Mr. Terrific #1 and it was pretty shit. One thing though:
  9. Because he wants to tweak it until he has what he wants the Star Wars films to be. That or with every new addition, he can put out a new version of the films, that people, no matter how much they complain, will end up buying. The only ones I bought, or will ever buy, were the original versions. I can't be the only one. EDIT: Just watched all those scenes from the link above. The only necessary change - maybe - is the CGI Yoda in 'Phantom Menace.' Everything else makes the movie a bit worse, honestly.
  10. Are you serious? I'd argue that at times Batman is the MOST human of characters, the most in-tune with society. He's a man who has seen the ultimate evil committed to the only people he loved when he was barely old enough to understand what he was feeling. He locks his pain away and uses it to fuel his life. Hiding your emotions and transferring that energy into something else is a very common, very human reaction. What's common about Ollie? I love the character, but I don't feel any sympathy for a spoiled playboy. Ollie is, basically, a crusading version of the "mask" of Bruce Wayne. And I don't consider Batman's approach to life emotionless or distant. He cares about his city, about the world, above all else, including his own emotional and physical health. He has created - or at least did in the universe I USED to know - a surrogate family which means the world to him. Ollie's "empathy" exists from what perspective? How does he have any more ability to feel for people than any other hero? Because he crusaded for civil rights in a world that no longer exists?
  11. Krul has to be the worst writer working in the big two. I'd say, 'by far,' but Robinson and Simone lost their minds a few years back.

    Speaking of Stormwatch, the first issue was pretty hit and miss for me. Mostly miss. Anyone else read it?
  13. I know it's a leak, but is there any kind of hint you can give as to where one might find such a thing?

    I think that's the worst part though. We saw Oracle work through all that so, so long ago and now it just feels trite.

    DC reboot

    Pretty much totally agree. I fucking HATED this issue. Won't be reading more. The other ones I read were JLI #1 and Animal Man #1 because of all the hype. JLI left a lot of questions for me, and I'm wondering how much of Booster's story was left from the old universe, because Batman seemed to be trying to get people to take Booster seriously and trust him. I wasn't a fan of the art, however. Didn't like Animal Man either, honestly. Too gruesome for me. I don't have any desire to read horror comics.
  16. She SHOULD have started to grate on you for that time. Because, during that time, she has sucked balls.
  17. If you didn't know or weren't reading, in Wolverine #14: So now Wolverine gets naked and goes off into the wilderness to live with wolves? Again? Seriously, again?! Isn't anyone editing the Wolverine books? They even say in the preview "once again" for fuck's sake!!
  18. Well, yeah, but that wheelchair makes her look ridiculous.
  19. Well, yeah. If there's anything Scarlett Johannson needs, it's more curves.

    I want to remain excited for this reboot, but this is seriously gutting me. It's so disingenuous, so stupid. It's like Didio sniper-shot every fun and positive thing from the 90s. Fuck you, Dan DiDio. This is such a clusterfuck. Picking and choosing from the landmark events in the DCU - and making them all happen in five fucking years - makes me more livid with each reveal.

    I can't wait until Preston finds out that Vic Sage is the DCnU's first murder victim.

    If they "fix" Ganthet, then the only Guardian ever worth caring about will be gone. And as it is they're the most irritating thing in the GL universe.

    Although the art for JL #1 was gorgeous, I couldn't help feeling like something was a bit off. Like the characters were all posing to be future DC Direct statues, instead of actually being IN the story. Did anyone else feel like that? As for the story, I guess I liked it enough, even though it felt like nothing happened. But I really don't like the attitudes that Hal and Bruce seemed to have. Hal, especially, came off like a total dick.

    Flashpoint

    OK, so I read it and I gotta say: Disappointed. I'm definitely in the camp of "If this was the end of the DCU, it wasn't anywhere near good enough." And if the whole finish was going to be Barry, Zoom and "Batman," why have the big battle? Just so everyone else in this ultra-violent world could show up for three panels and then disappear? I think more than ever that they didn't think this whole thing through before a few months ago.
