Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Superwoman
we don't know her identity yet
"James Robinson currently has a deal with DC Comics enumerating that they cannot use his Starman characters without his permission, which is why Jack has appeared very little since the end of his series."
Plus, if its an event orchestrated by Johns, its gonna be good. I don't see why he wouldn't like it.
Robinson's probably already finished writing all his New Krypton books, so he probably had an argument with Didio about something else. Trusting Didio, it was probably something insanely stupid, like when he was forcing Jim Shooter to put "Super Lad" in Legion.
Robinson pretty clearly wants to leave them where they are so we'll probably get a new book never.

Thanks Keith, I wasn't sure if I was suppose to know who that was or not. This is my first real time reading anything Superman (other than some of the Supergirl stories before New Krypton started)
Seriously. If Robinson didn't have that stipulation Jack would probably have been raped and murdered by Onomatopoeia or something equally retarded years ago.

Not that there hasen't been some good Elektra stuff post Miller, but the signal to noise ratio is off the charts
Exactly. There are a clutch of characters who other writers just don't get as well as the dude(s) who created or defined them. I mean, I'm more than open to reinterpretations and alternate visions and so on, but there's a point where it crosses the line into exploitation - using the character to lend unearned prestige to an otherwise lame or uninteresting story.

Like 80-90% of Darkseid stories post-Kirby.
You've gotta love that last 10% though.
It's from Ambush Bug (the series, not Year None), so that should explain a lot!
This?
Man, they'll do a showcase for anything these days.
Good.
Edit: Hey, while we're talking about the new gods, what are some good, non-kirby bits in the DCU with the new gods and fourth-worlders? Cross-overs preferably.
But I love Mark Waid.

Well, this is rather depressing.
I just want to see Shazam in something

Oh man, I love Bizarro, but I haven't been reading Superman 'til now so I haven't technically read a full-length Bizarro story. Can't wait!

And this is where I insert a witty remark that ranks very high on the nerdometer expressing my general dislike toward Marvel's Captain Marvel, and most of their space-related characters and storylines.
Quiet you.
If you want to read a short Bizarro story that's quite fantastic, there is a 2-part mini arc in Grant Morrison's All-Star Superman that's quite good. Also, Geoff Johns wrote a really good Bizarro arc recently, which I believe has been collected in trade format.
Then Geoff Johns had him beat a man to goo in the opening pages of Infinite Crisis, and ever since I'm like, "Fuck Bizarro. Bring on the blue kryptonite."
