  2. Infinite Crisis

    in DC

    Posted

    Yeah I've been reading all the the Countdown Minis and i think Villains United was the best. I'm hoping they get an ongoing with like Deadshot and Catman that'd be so awesome. One question though, Luthor shot Pariah but I was under the impression part of his power was he couldn't die so to quote the Hurricane "Whassupwitdat?"

    Chances are he'll show up alive again.

    Just picked it up today. Holy Purple Tapdancing Christ!! Death fucking abounds in this book! And I really liked the end of book one showing the "Earth-2" (?) Supes as well as Superboy and Alexander Luthor. Fuck man, I don't know if anyone read the end of Villians united, but goddam, this is getting good.

    Anybody still picking this one up? I'm really liking this new story arc. The basic rundown is a ripoff version of Marvel's Ultimates called The Maximums are after Superman and Batman because supposedly Superman killed their version of Giant Man. Also Bizarro and Batzarro randomly run around and do stuff. I was kinda bored with it until the latest issue.

    SPOILERS

    BATMAN BEYOND!

    My favorite part so far was Bizarro and Batzarro using the JLA teleporters, when J'onnz says, "That was....impossible." Good Stuff. Great Humor. And I really like the Maximums.

  5. Which was worse?

    Okay, so were the two versions different aspects of him?

    Yup....and the red one was all hot headed, while the blue one was cool, calm, and collected. Wow, how unpredictable.

    And yeah, Spider-clone saga was so lame, it turned me off of Marvel completely until about last year.

    As a DC fanboy, I'm glad to hear you say that. Yes, DC is taking a much darker tone, and it is working well. By the time Infinite Crisis happens, the heroes are gonna be smackdab in a giant puddle of shit, that's for sure.

  8. Bruce Wayne to no longer be Batman?

    Yeah, but the truth of his relationship with Bruce is, and Green Arrow pointed this out during both the "Obsidian Age" JLA storyline and "Identity Crisis", that no matter how much Dick says that he wants to get out from under Bruce's shadow, he really loves, admires, and looks up to Bruce. I don't think he'd turn down the mantle of the Bat, especially if Bruce dies or asks him to do it.

  12. Does Gordon know who Batman is?

    This was covered during "No Man's Land" when, in a moment of trust, Batman took off his cowl to show Gordon his face. Gordon had his back turned to him, but would not turn around. Gordon said something like, "Maybe I've always known." And then made it clear that he did not want to see what Batman's face looked like because his actions were what mattered, or something like that. So, I say yes.

    Just wanted to point out that this is the 1000th topic to be started.

    Woot!! Yay me, I guess. Did anyone else read "Avengers: Disassembled"? I just reread it again last night, and now I am looking to see where this is going even more.

  20. Bruce Wayne to no longer be Batman?

    Since Infinite Crisis is the sequel to Crisis on Infinite Earths, it probably means that Bruce Wayne Batman will meet up with a future Batman when time starts going all screwy. My bet is on Dick Grayson. If there is anyone who SHOULD be Batman after Bruce, it's definitely Dick.
