Random DC Art Or Something More?

Owenashi

DC dropped this picture on Newsarama's lap. Is it just something someone there felt like drawing? Is it new art for a IC/52-related collection? Or does it show something new coming towards the recentlly healed heroes, something that the returned Monitor and his friends have an idea on? Take a look and see for yourselves.

Harrier

I see Red Robin from Kingdom Come, and a very Arab-looking Batman.

Also, Donna as Wonder Girl again?

robosagogo

Everyone's trying real hard not to look at Superman crying.

Is that Question on the ground? Fuck you.

Fencingsax

Wonder why Kyle and Donna are glowing Yellow.

Judas

What's up with the Arabian Nights edition of Batman?

They look to me like they're not really standing there.

For somebody who doesn't really read many DC books*, what exactly am I looking at?



*Shut up, I just ordered DKR and Superman: Secret Identity from Amazon, so it's not as though I'm not working on it.

Am I the only one wondering why lady liberty's been buried?

Conditional_Axe

I don't what's up with that Batman costume, but it's the balls.

Not buried, decapitated. The body is smoking in the background.

klok

Why is that dudes face doing a 180?

Pantaley Shlopapa

because he straight up murdered the best hero in DC.

and because of bad writing.

sorry.

It's Max Lord. Wonder Woman snapped his neck as a prelude to IC.

Furu

Hm...

Earth-2 Justice League?

Tach

Isn't Earth-2 the Antimatter universe? With the evil Justice League?

robosagogo

Maybe an Elseworlds about how Infinite Crisis could have ended, with a interdimensional Justice League featuring Arab Batman, Wally West, Red Robin, and mainstays.

Fencingsax

So Batman obviously finds some more demons in the desert.

Garlic Bread

Why is no one talking about how motherfuckin' Scott Free is there?

He hasn't been seen since Identity Crisis

Edit: Or Mary Marvel. She's been in a coma post-52

I think this is something about the multiverse

Garlic Bread

also, this goes out to Bad Karma

say what you will about Kingdom Come being awesome

but Red Robin is fucking retarded

Batman kind of looks like the one from the Elseworlds Leatherwing, but not quite. And look at the Flash's belt. Wally's and Bart's are both curving lightning bolts pointing at their crotches, but this one's is straight, more like Barry's. Donna's back in her old Wonder Girl duds. And of course Blue Beetle, Max Lord, and Question are all dead. Superman seems very broken up about it at least.

I don't know what this could possibly be for. I mean, the Batman nd Red Robin point towards some multiverse stuff, the Donna Troy costume points at timefuckery, Ted and Max's bodies point to Countdown/IC, Question's points towards 52, and everyone else is basically in their current incarnations. Weird. Also, what's that flashlight thing in front of Supes and WW? It kind of looks like Ted's BB Gun, but not really.

Servo

this looks like someone put stickers of all these characters on a background and i hate it

Jordyn

I imagine Arab Batman there to use his sword much like Leonardo in the first TMNT movie, where it cuts pizza, a carrot, and then a tiny bit of an arm.

Garlic Bread

Since when did Bart have Wally's costume? He started out with Barry's, but now it's Wally's.

Oh yeah, it's a terrible drawing. I mean, what are most of them even standing on? What's supporting Ollie's foot there? Has this artist ever looked at the Statue of Liberty?

it looks like the artist misheard 'broken statue of liberty in background' for 'emperor palpatine please'

DJ Eebs

I'm thinking this is something from the JLA/JSA crossover that's coming up.

Also I'm kind of sick of HEY HOW DO WE SHOW SOMETHING BIG AND DESTRUCTIVE HAPPENED OH HEY LET'S DESTROY THE STATUE OF LIBERTY

Jordyn

And what are the bodies even doing there? Did Supes and the gang decide to dig them up for one last Weekend at Bernie's-esque adventure? How long as Beetle been dead now? And he appears to still be bleeding.

Munch

Well, plus Ted is kind of nothing but ashes by now. Unless he actually did have a metagene that allowed him to be completely resistant to fire, but not firearms.

Well, Munch hasn't stopped complaining yet

edit: hey

Jordyn

Honestly, I find this picture to be hilarious.


I looked at it. I started laughing, and I managed to sputter out, "w-what?"

Munch

Well Keith, it's not like I'm running into the Civil War thread going, "Hey hey hey, guys. Guys. Know what? Civil War is awesome. Do you know what is also awesome? Blue Beetle. Let me tell you why he is better than El Azul Beetle or Beetle McOldman." Shit, they're throwing him around in all kinds of stuff, or setting up situations where the character will likely be brought up (as with Jaime's upcoming meetings with Guy Gardner, Ted's former teammate, and Batman, Ted's former teammate who let him walk into a potential deathtrap, or the Ted-impostor in Manhunter), so I don't think it's really that unreasonable for me to say, "Oh hey, I hope that deals with Ted Kord."

You're doing it again.

Honestly I had no problem with it. Im not surprised you hated it though, or anything else for that matter.

but you see, I love Dick (omg hahahahahahahaa right)

"Red Robin" goes completely against Dick's character. He gave up being Robin because he didn't became distant from Batman and didn't want to become Batman

but then Red Robin combines both of those things into a mess of retarded

Well, he was an older man and a father of many years, and with Batman more or less out of the picture he might have felt the need to pay homage to the bat legacy whilst at the same time bringing in a little Robinness to the mix.

I dunno, I try not to nitpick.

Jordyn

Red Robin has delicous hamburgers.

Furu

Too many people are taking this at face value.

Like the Bible.

Yeah, what ARE they standing on?

It looks like the statue was melted at some points, like underneath Superman & Wonder Woman's feet, but what are they sitting on? What's that shiny golden ring behind Wonder Woman?

They honestly do. I had a chicken sandwich the last time I was there, and it was good, but just not the same.
