Wait...what happened to Damien?
He was turning into a well adjusted crazy person under Dick's mentorship like the rest of the bat family and now he's running around killing small animals like a future serial killer in the making?

Isn't he already a serial-killer?
He's already an assassin
They are not really the same
Though I guess you could argue that they are, thinking about it
There is only so much assassinating he could have done
it isnt about the numbers of people killed, rather in those formative years something broke in damien where he wants to kill... he is kind of a parallel for james jordon jr, that despite any amount of training, explanation, surrogate loving family, fatherly advice or other, he is going to grow up to be a sociopath (as opposed to psychopath, splitting hairs really).. and bruces own opinion that allowing him to be robin isnt really helping the problem. but batman doesnt believe in lost causes
Okay, so my MOTW is Batman's comment to Batwoman about sidekicks in the big bat-splash.

Assassins can stop killing anytime and probably wouldn't kill an animal just for the hell of it, a serial killer kills because they feel compelled to. I've been watching Korean movies, this is all accurate stuff.
And lets not forget, Damian could have (and should have) killed Zsasz back in Streets of Gotham but didn't, a dude who deserved that fate.
Will get some scans later, but gonna be as hard as last week to not post the entire issue and just pick one page.
Spider-Island, ASM 671, oh man!
Spider-sense + Kung Fu.
Morbius the secret scientist.
Kaine normallized and re-spidey-powered!
And a moment that has me filled with both glee and sadness, depending on it's future callbacks
Mary Jane has her spider powers finally, and is swinging around being all, "ya I kick ass", when she hears a scream for help, then another, and knows her only choice is to go help, making her realize Spidey never had the choice either, and now she finally understands! (really touching moment, that the fanboy in me can build hope upon)
In Conclusion, if you aren't reading Spider-Island, you are really depriving yourself of a lot of fun!
I really like Sinestro and him totally outclassing Hal, who saved one lady and then wasted time flirting with her prior to Sinestro saving everyone, was fantastic.

It's a nice parallel to what Sinestro did with Korugar vs what Hal does for Earth (and supports the argument he was having with Hal)
Hal is a superhero that saves people in danger. Sinestro fixes the problem so that the danger isn't there
I still have a hard time accepting that a guy, who fans used to refer to as Space Hitler, is not having his teeth punched out by every superhero on Earth.
Or did they all forget how he led Superboy Prime, Cyborg Superman, and the Anti-Monitor in an attack on Earth?
I'm all about villains having redemptive story arcs, but this is like the Joker deciding to become a superhero. You'd think the massive body-count to his name would preclude him from heroics.

I think people are quite realistic about how the Lanterns in general work, vis a vis Guardians are amoral idiots.

Yeah there's that, and to answer your question Munch, it's still up in the air how much of all that they forgot. Or didn't forget. Or happened slightly differently. Or something.

Plus there was no JSA to really take offense to space hitler these days, these kids don't know their history.

Yep. ATM, the Anti-Monitor and Superboy Prime definitely do not exist in this reality. And Cyborg Superman may not as well.
Maybe in the DCnU, the Sinestro Corps War was just an extremely spirited debate.

That Hypersonic. She flies really fast.

I write about video games and stuff. It is fun. Sometimes.
He was turning into a well adjusted crazy person under Dick's mentorship like the rest of the bat family and now he's running around killing small animals like a future serial killer in the making?
That was so awesome.
But she looks like her and they made the same joke about no clothes!
Her name is Transonic and that's a very basic shapeshifting joke as old as the concept
plus they're nothing alike other than being blue
Fixed that for you. Regenesis did a pretty horrible job of identifying characters.
Anyways, my MOTW: "Ha! Bobby dated a crazy chick."
Isn't he already a serial-killer?
He's already an assassin
They are not really the same
Though I guess you could argue that they are, thinking about it
I mean he was raised by Assassins and all that
But he's ten years old
There is only so much assassinating he could have done
To quote the Team Fortress 2 "Meet the Sniper" video:

That actually sounds really great
Like, the kind of great that might actually get me to read Slott's Spider-Man
Green Lantern 2: Sinestro teaches Hal a lesson
Sinestro developing a bit of compassion for those he protects would be a pretty cool story, I think
I really like Sinestro and him totally outclassing Hal, who saved one lady and then wasted time flirting with her prior to Sinestro saving everyone, was fantastic.
It's a nice parallel to what Sinestro did with Korugar vs what Hal does for Earth (and supports the argument he was having with Hal)

Green Lantern was excellent. I love how Johns writes Sinestro.

the Sinestro Corps amassed an army
assaulted Earth
was thwarted by GLs and also the Earth heroes
