They mean it this time guys.

S-Shut up! Just you wait, we'll have one, two weeks tops of no new episodes, they we'll be back in business! With a new Magpie episode too, I'll bet! Yeah! The show will do fine!

>Grant Morrison writing Superman
TWO THUMBS WAAAAAAAAAY UP, CLARK!!!
>Grant Morrison writing Batman
Giant Monty Python foot repeatedly crushes Bruce several times.

Goddamn.

>Grant Morrison stirred up a lot of chatter online with his claim, during Kevin Smith’s “Fatman on Batman” podcast, that Batman kills the Joker at the end of the classic graphic novel,Batman: The Killing Joke. Writer Alan Moore’s script, which tends to read as a direct communication to artist Brian Bolland, indicates otherwise.

>The moral to this story: Just because an author you like says something does not make it so.

Morrison can not into The Killing Joke.

>>214866
For me both were fucking fantastic, Hell I've been enjoying his Batman since High school, makes me sad it's over.

I get that his Batman run was a lot more decisive for some people though, sad you didn't like it but hopefully something will pop up for you, it was actually the last DC book I gave a fuck about.

Grant Morrison on The Killing Joke

And reposting because EVERYONE should hear this.

>>214868

>>214868
It's an interpretation, canonically it's wrong as Morrison himself says but it's easy to see how it's read like that.

>>214869
I just meant that Superman keeps getting good endings (his New52 version even got to avenge his murdered parents, even though he simultaneously thought they died in an accident and didn't know Vyndktvx was responsible for their deaths) while Batman keeps getting 'reborn' (Thorgal, Return of Bruce Wayne, Incorporated) only to be horribly mauled when things start looking up.

You could argue that that's the point of Morrison's run. Still brütal though.

>>214873
Oh I get ya, and yeah though I like that about Batman, it's sort of the same deal with Ironman, there is a joy in watching them struggle up from the bottom.

Any good way to get the shorts online?

Id get behind Beware the Batman if they just became the Outsiders.

>>214878
Yup.

Doesn't hurt that they included Black Lightning's main enemy as the big mob boss.

>>214881
I'm tired of them constantly repeating Batman just starting out. I wan veteran Batman leading a team of a woman dealing with her sword made of souls, a prince defending his homeland, a teacher and father dealing with the superhero life, an adventurer stuck as a chemically power freak, and an amnesiac girl they just picked up.

Throw in Creeper or Plastic Man for comic relief.

DAMN IT CREE SUMMERS, WHY YOU GOTTA BE JEZEBEL JET

Even bald and no mustache, Alfred still manages to be Alfred by teasing Bruce and making vague dick jokes in the process.

I've always disliked Hulk-Metamorpho. Hopefully that will change if/when he comes back.

>>214926
Yeah that was super awful but it's prety clear the "antidote" stabilized him.

At this rate I'd say we have a fair chance of Outsiders vs Assassins season finale.

>>214929
Especially since Stagg foreshadowed Metamorpho. And we just got Tobias Whale.

If Halo and Geo Force get left out or replaced... then Halo and Geo Force get left out or replaced.

>>214929

Black Lightning on Outsiders

Anissa Pierce later joins Batgirl in a Birds of Prey team

oh for some Creeper, though Plas is the more likely choice since they've used him a lot in recent incarnations. Either one works to Juxtapose Bats personality.

>oh for some Creeper, though Plas is the more likely choice since they've used him a lot in recent incarnations. Either one works to Juxtapose Bats personality.

Which for Beware the Batman makes Plastic Man LESS likely.

It bugged more for a bit why a show devoted to doing lesser known characters (though, that line is pretty bullshit considering Ras) would use Metamorpho, who appeared significantly in both Justice League and Brave and The Bold. But, if they're building to the Outsiders, and use the Outsiders as a team as a replacement for having Sidekicks, then that IS novel.

As far as other members beyond Katanna, Metamorpho and the foreshadowed Black Lightning? I honestly think those three are enough for a show like this. If you get a larger cast than that then the focus and tone would probably start changing a lot. If you need a team of five, just replace halo with Batgirl and Geo Force with a Rock.

>>214945

I could see Mister Terrific taking Black Lighting's spot.

>>214955
Ditto

>>214945
Would Batman throw Geo Force rock at Killer Croc?

I just would rather have an Outsiders cartoon than another Batman one.

>>214955
Am I the only one that wants a JSA cartoon?

>>214958
NOOOOOOOPE!!!

>>214959
When I saw some of Young Justice (especially the cameos from Jay and Fate) made me wish they'd adapt some of Johns' JSA Sith the old guard teaching a bunch of legacies. There's got to be one Wesley Dodd's noir episode.

Ok I want to like Justice League Dark but they should be a bit more imaginative considering the book centers around magic. It's getting better with the House of Mystery and the Black Room but don't be afraid to go Ditko era Dr. Strange crazy with it. Show how different magic can be and what not.

I have been thinking about what would happen if we got a new Superman cartoon and what it would be like. Then I started thinking about an ideal Superman cartoon for me. What if each season continued the story of Superman and his adventures, building his legacy? Furthermore, I imagine each season based off of a certain era or decade of Superman stories. The second or 3rd season could introduce the Legion and sow the seeds for the Justice League, one season would end with the death of superman, only to build up his return, and various characters from his history would show up, such as Mon-El, Superboy (less broody and a little more like his 90's iteration), Iron Munroe, and so on. Hell, if they wanted too, they could have the wedding of Clark and Lois in a later season. Overall though, it would be a celebration of what makes Spes so iconic and beloved and would aim to show people that he's not more interesting than he is given credit for. I don't know. what would you guys want out of a superman cartoon if we were to get another one?

>>214958
A JSA cartoon would rock.

Flashpoint movie was bad.

>>214973
Just like Flashpoint.

I remember when she used to be good. What happened?

>>215191
She started having opinions that made you uncomfortable, judging by the pic you used to illustrate your point.

>>215193

I'm not uncomfortable just confused given the pantheon god of justice is kinda a grey area for gender basis of anything.

>>215191
She's odd. Atom was good. Secret Six was good. Deadpool was good. Batgirl is shit. The Movement is lame as all hell. Maybe she's just gone crazy like most comic writers seem too. I still find it hilarious Demon Knights introduced a transgender character in a better, more organic way with out even trying. Medieval Seven Samurai did a better job at this than the SJW.

I wish I still had her tweet congratulating Bendis on killing Wasp. Not sarcastically. Also what is she doing writing Red Sonja if she is sensitive to how women are portrayed in comics? I just kind of dislike her. She did write a great Bane though.

>>215196
>what is she doing writing Red Sonja if she is sensitive to how women are portrayed in comics
Maybe she sees potential with the character. The fact that a character has been used in ugly ways in the past doesn't mean it can't be redeemed--look at how much more human and just flat out good Power Girl has become in recent years compared to the walking tit joke she had been for so long.

>>215197
Or she likes money. Powergirl has always been all over the place. I remember when she always had a massive chip on her shoulder during JLE.

I just realized my ideal Superman game could be cookie cut out of Saints Row 4.

>>215211
I can see that, the Power mechanics seem to work really well.

>>215211
Can you make Superman in the character creator?

>>215213
If you want to put the time into it sure. Cept I don't think they have the curly hair.

>>215214
Not the exact S but they have a really similar one.

There is a mod being made for the whole costume right now anyway.

*sigh* well at least it isn't Bale again.

>>214963
Just base it on Morrison's Action Comics run.

Bold, brash, heartfelt and enormous.

>>215226
Seriously, incredibly not difficult.

Ooooooooooooooooooooh, looks like the super 90s trappings of the New52 hit Lobo so hard he went the other way:

http://www.newsarama.com/18756-dc-reveals-new-look-for-lobo-s-first-new-52-appearance-in-what-s-new.html

>>215230
I'm not sure why at this point, but I somehow am still shocked by how terrible the Nu52 is.

>>215230
RIP The Main Man, least till he comes back to knock this Raiden looking putz through a wall to retain the title of Last Czarnian.

>>215237
Umm, Raiden a character known for his girlish features...is actually a hundred times more manly than most characters now.

Revengence remember?

You can't even compare that abomination to even Raiden, this is full on Nowe tier terrible girly bitch.

>>215236
Slobo: the new 52 edition

>>215230
Weird that they would choose to introduce his new look in a one-shot which uses a brawnier, more familiar design on the front cover. I guess that's the imposter Lobo? Even though they show two earlier Rocafort designs which have the same body type. Speaking of which, how many other characters were fucked up so badly that the company just flat out said, "Nope, surprise, that was actually all a clever ruse! Here's the REAL deal!"

I think the design I find must utterly confusing is Mister Freeze.

>>215244
did they mess him up like Captain Cold and give him ice powers too?

>>215245
Way worse than just that.

Gotham kinda killed all my hype for All-Star Western.

At least we still have Injustice Lobo.

Hey! I wonder if Tiki is- oh yeah, he's mad about this all right

>>215250
About what? Lobo? I guess I sorta am but it's just like "How are you still not learning your lesson?"

On that note what are DC's recent numbers?

http://www.theouthousers.com/index.php/news/123705-mark-hamill-and-tara-strong-back-as-the-joker-and-harley-quinn.html

In other news something fun.

>>215230

The hell is this? How does DC still keep doing this? Also, two of the other designs Rocafort put out in that article are miles better.

Man, I am glad I'm not invested in this.

>>215258
So glad I quit on the high note of Morrison's Batman.

And yes, Lobo Space Ronin would have been okay and if written well fantastic.

>>215230
>>215246
The hell is this? Why does DC pay people to mangle their character designs?

>>215258
Isn't their staff now a bunch that spent the '90s making DC knockoffs?

>>215230
This does not look like a tough and crude space hunter dude.
It looks generic.

>>215265
Actually it's the guys who were REJECTED in that era.

>>215264

The fucked up thing is DC rejected two good designs and actually asked Rocafort to fuck up the design.

Hey, Tiki.

Look what's actually happening now.

>>215273

Shit goes down that is bad enough for them to leave the country and that doesn't count as a massive spoiler? And it turns out it was all a trick by Batman,Superman and Wonder Woman to get a few undesirables out of the country and into Coastal Avengers obscurity.

>>215274
Also unnecessary taking jabs at Alpha Flight Exactly who the hell is he talking about anyway with that crap acting like they are a team of Super Mounties or something.

In lighter news, are they doing anything with Shazam again? I just finished Curse of Shazam, and the nu52 Captain Marvel's actually a lot better than I thought it'd be. I want to see more of it, it's exciting and Billy's WAY more likable than he was presented at the very beginning.

Ben Affleck is Batman!? Angry Rant
Joe, what are you doing?

>>215293
being an annoying clueless faggot?
it's really nothing outside par for him, I have no idea why you're surprised.

>>215273
If that's whole line up it's a fucking insult.

Like fuck, really? Catwoman?

Okay so my theoretical Superman game.

Saints Row engine, similar graphics and maybe modified art, it all works and is easy to model while looking good.

Metropolis hub world where you can mess around with things like Alien incursions, subterranean invasions, earthquakes, Super villain operations, etc.

Powers and abilities are all upgradable, head powers (laser eyes, freeze breath, etc) are your main weapons in addition to punches (think the Saints Row wheels) and your big damages are in the grenade subwheel.

There are alleys, phone booths and anywhere people can't see you to change into Clark Kent, as Clark your powers change from the action style to investigation style and you can take missions at the Daily Planet to investigate and learn and you get graded on how well you investigated based on how Perry reacts, do good and you see people reading the paper all over the city, poorly and the daily planet liters the streets.

As Kent in the hub world instead of Alien invasions and the like you see muggers, vandals, bank robbers, etc, the challenge being to stop them without revealing yourself.

You can visit Lois for dates and she has a kind of Pandora's tower relationship style where you can go on dates, give her cool alien stuff you find on missions or from probes to other planets you launch at the Fortress, have breakfast really cute stuff.

Jimmy can also be visited and given upgrades to his watch as well as discussing game secrets, Jimmy serves the purpose of your back up and can be called for assistance, all his various bizarre forms can be found and given to him to unlock, call turtle boy or Kid Doomsday for help! (Supergirl is pretty much the same but late in the game due to her being so beast)

If you fly out of the map instead of an invisible Wall you go to visit Ma & Pa or the Fortress of Solitude.

Ma & Pa have farm work that needs done, your rewards are simple EXP and a little money, but those are secondary to cute scenes you get with you and pa having a lemonade or a beer after finishing up work served up by Ma happy to see her boys doing so well.

The fortress is used for Lore on alien planets through a fun little minigame and getting some neat swag for the fortress as well as switching super suits.

You apartment is also upgradable but with far more earthly objects and you can switch your various business as Clark there.

And that's my ideal Superman game.

>>215276
AF seems to only now to get killed by the next big threat, which pisses me off actually.

Imposter Lobo is looking pretty good now. Especially since he got blackout drunk and passed out on Stormwatch's conference table.

JL of Canada. Really? I wonder if they'll get some Canadians only to kill them/ignore them afterwards like everyone does with the actual international members of New 52 JLI? I miss August General in Iron Rocket Red and Godiva. I also wish they brought back the German squad of Rocket Reds they introduced.

>>215301
I love old comic covers like that. Same with the shit Gold Key did.

>>215306
The american-centric nature of Big 2 cape comics is pretty lame, you have a whole world of potential and you squander it by only featuring most non-american heroes as cannonfodder or to make petty nationalist snipes at them. Its even worse when they take their cosmic stuff, a whole UNIVERSE of potential with varied alien cultures and species and miraculous cosmic phenomena and drag the whole thing to centre on Earth.

>>215306
I remember when comic covers were good.

>>215312
One of the many reasons why INC was so fucking cool.

>>215276
As reviled as Scott Lodbell is, I still liked what he did when he actually put a super-Mountie in Alpha Flight.

>>215312
It is bad. I love seeing other heroes from other countries. Provides a neat perspective on their world.

It's sad the Justice League does more in Gorilla City than all of Africa. Still wish Dwayne got to introduce Anansi from Static Shock into the main universe.

I loved August General in Iron and Rocket Red being buddies.

>>215314
There are some cool covers today but its a bit rare to see stuff that stands out.

>>215315
I'd enjoy a Ranger or Nightrunner book. Especially if one of Ranger's villains is just a Mad Max style biker gang.

>>215318
I've wanted to see more of Nightrunner for a while now.

>>215318
>>215334
AWW YEAH NIGHTRUNNER!

So I thought Dial H was officially over, but theres a Dial H cover in the Evil is Forever event ads. Is it getting one more hurrah?

>>215353
Seems like it. The issue is advertised as a coda to the series, and I doubt anything tremendously relevant to the big Forever Evil event will be tied to Littleville or the dials. It's probably the only one of these one shots that has me excited. 20 artists and 20 villains, gotta see how that turns out.

>Superman/ Wonder Woman book is an attempt to target women

Oh man this is gonna get shut down so hard.

>>215407
>woman need romance
But Supes already had Lois! Wondy had (some of the time anyway) Steve!

>>215411
He means the new book, not the ship itself. That's a trainwreck for reasons we already knew.

>>215412
I know. But if DC wanted to push more romance, they didnt need to make a totally new book for this stupid couple.

>>215407
http://www.themarysue.com/daniel-superman-wonder-woman/

train is already leaving the station.

They could have brought back a previously existent book people like..Superman's girlfriend Lois Lane except since you are trying to attract women call it something like....Lois Lane Star Reporter and do this thing where you you focus less on her relationship and more about journalistic integrity in the modern world where the relevance of such a thing is of drastic vital importance, but hey no women would wanna read that ehh? maybe her relation with Superman being one less based on romance and more on respect where she has to contemplate what goes into reports on him, reports on him being a decidedly VERY small portion of the book.

>>215440

>>215440
Oh yeah Way you understand women so well.

Heh

They're trying it here because both leads are dollar signs. Doesn't mean it'll be good or bad, but it's obvious why.

People tell me good things about Soule's Thunderbolts and people tell me absolutely nothing about Soule's DC work. And Daniel has been getting better (on art) with every book he's done in the last few years.

>>215440
You know what? That actually convinced me to pick up the first issue. Because of this:

>Cunningham: Does the cover imagery work for you? The stuff that we’re showing? I mean the…I mean I’m really curious. Like Lee asks, what you said, if that’s not what you’re looking for, what specifically are you looking for? Or is there anything specific?

I mean, it'll probably turn into stale bread and be completely forgettable, like the last few things from DC I've given a shot, but honestly? That's the attitude I'm looking for. I agree with the position of writer of the article.

Plus, I have a hard time imagining this having more romance than say, an average issue of Spider-man. Because super-hero comics are already soap operas, this just actually puts both of the romantic partners in the title.

What perplexes me about DC's design sense is this: Artists will have to draw these characters about 100 times an issue from every angle in every pose interacting with other characters from every angle in every pose. So why do they constantly heap a bunch of unessesary details onto their characters that just make it harder to ink color and keep on model?

Well yes, it's what you get when cover artists design all your characters.

>>215461
Earth 2 is pretty decent at design, other than Jay's weird helmet (especially since there were plans to give him the original helmet and he'd have a perfect excuse to have it).
