    Your story doesn't add up, Keith. You commented on this discussion yesterday, which means that you were already reminded that The Unwritten exists - and yet you claim to only remember about it just now. Doesn't add up. Whom are you covering for? Where's the briefcase with the money?

    Bendis really should have made Pearl when he was still at Marvel, Cebulski could have helped him make sure it was super authentic

    Tynion gave a couple of hints towards his post Detective books

    He was asked about his dream book and said it would be Teen Titans with the Connor/Cassie/Bart crew, and when asked what pre-existing characters he felt were underdeveloped he said the supporting cast of his next unannounced book.

    Setting: New York City, at an original cast performance of Hamilton

    Leslie Odom Jr: "And the world's gonna know your name. What's your name, man?"
    Booster Gold: (echoing from the back row) "Booster Gold."
    Odom Jr: (yelling, confused) "What?"
    Gold: "I said my name is Booster Gold"
    Lin-Manuel Miranda: "Hey man, we're trying to put on a show here"
    Gold: "My bad! Sorry!"
    *Booster flies out of the theater *
    Miranda: "Oh, shit"
    *pause*
    Miranda: "That was Green Lantern!"

    Green Lantern makes no appearance in the film, and there are no mentions of GL outside of when people say "Thank you, Green Lantern!" to Booster.

    Post Credits Scene 1:
    from a scene shortly earlier in the film, a civilian says "Thank you, Green Lantern!" and Booster yells "MY NAME IS BOOSTER GOLD" before flying off

    rewind

    zoom out to the crowd

    a man in the shadows with glowing eyes is revealed to have been following Booster and psychically manipulating people into seeing him as Green Lantern

    slow pan-up of the man
    pan-up reveals a high-tech gold watch

    Man: *tapping a button on the watch* "L-Ron."
    L-Ron: *in an AI assistance voice* "What can I do for you, Mr. Lord?"

    camera still panning up
    he pulls out a handkerchief
    he wipes off the blood coming out of his nose

    Maxwell Lord: "Get me Ted Kord on the phone.
    L-Ron: "Of course, Mr. Lord. Calling Ted Kord"

    *cut back to credits*

    Post Credits Scene 2:
    Booster is walking down a street and sees a dog chasing a squirrel up a tree.

    Booster: "Hey mutt, why don't you leave him alone?"

    The dog growls and lunges at Booster, but lets out a yelp before reaching him. The camera turns to see the squirrel attacked the dog to save Booster. The dog runs off.

    Suddenly, a bright green beam falls out of the sky.

    Ring: "Ch'p of Earth, you have the ability to overcome great fear."

    the squirrel puts on the ring

    Ring: "Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps."

    Ch'p: *looking at Booster* "Thanks for the help, Green Lantern!"

    Ch'p flies off into space

    *cut to black*

    Also, I'm really surprised at that lightning bolt?? I'd expect it to be CG stuff but that's actually impressive looking. The whole costume, actually, looks really good for a leaked set picture.

    You can't do in-app purchases on iOS because Apple charges a cut and Comixology didn't wanna pay, so you gotta buy them from the site and then sync to your device
    On Android stuff, yeah, you should still be able to do it in the app

    Thats dumb. Ok I'm reading Rebirth as suggested. I am...a little confused?
    So Wally got trapped in the speedforce at some point, but it was after Flashpoint right? He mentions the letter he gave Bruce at the end of that

    Ok, that last post? That was on me, a few pages later they explained it. Ok sure. I'm rolling with it. But the ending? The fucking ending of Rebirth
    Did Batman just pull out the fucking Comedian's pin from Watchman? And the watch that Doctor Manhattan rebuilds on Mars was Wally's? The fuck

    so I had a dream that they were making a new Superman movie

    and the trailer was just The Man of Metropolis Steals Our Hearts while he flew around being heroic and reassuring

    maybe that's what Shazam will be

    that'd be nice

    In fact, it'll be revealed that "Captain Marvel" never even existed, and "Shazam" is the street name of the drug that Billy's hooked on. Everything else is just a hallucination.

    Whoa, sorry folks, can't stay and chat, I've got a script to sell to WB.

    Shaman is a kids tv show like power rangers. And when Billy gets his powers he models himself after that.

    Something meta. More Vertigo than DC.

    Booster was the only pre-Flashpoint character to appear in the New 52 (pre-Rebirth) along with the N52 version

    Apparently he blew up and became Waverider, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's a big part of the Rebirth "mystery"
