Alright I waited for a few days to see if anyone else wanted to but here's the DC Thread
DC Universe went live last week! It is DC's streaming service with past programming, original series and a large rotating selection of comics. Its 7.99 a month with a one week free trial.
Current highlights are remastered BTAS episodes, all of the DCAU (except the Zeta Project, good riddance), a lot of great obscure comics runs, Young Justice and Brave and the Bold and more! Titans, the first original programming, comes out in October and looks....like a show you can watch if you choose to.

Martian Manhunter has a 12-issue miniseries from Steve Orlando and Riley Rossmo out in December, exploring his origins while attempting to solve a series of murders, in his detective identity, that appear to have a Martian connection.
Batman and the Outsiders is relaunching from Bryan Edward Hill and Dexter Soy in December. Featuring a primarily POC cast an a team designed to tackle societal problems Batman isnt properly equipped to deal with alone.

It turns out that prior to joining JLD, Detective Chimp joined up with BD and tried to resurrect Nightmaster after he died in Metal
It did not go well and now the magical dimension that Nightmaster was king of is overrun by the undead....and Bobo left Blue Devil to die there.
Blue Devil did not die and is now a very, very angry warlord.
Yeah.
Seems like he has a real axe to grind with DC.
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
"Would you believe I left you here by ax-cident?"

So people don't get confused, this is the first film under the label of Elseworlds, and has nothing to do with previous DCEU films which is now called World of DC
Steam
is it called "Joker"?
it's called Warner Bros. Pictures’ Joker, starring Oscar nominee Joaquin Phoenix in the title role, alongside Oscar winner Robert De Niro, and directed, produced and co-written by Oscar nominee Todd Phillips
Yes
Steam
Holy shit that looks rad.
Then Desaad takes off his hood and reveals he is actually Metron and congratulates Scott. "You have slain the devil. You have seen fear, embraced fear, mastered fear. You have seen love, embraced love, been mastered by love. You challenged the unchallenged. You dared the trap of death. And you escaped. And now it is time, my son. Time to look into the face of god. And hear your cheer, and take your bow. Where you are is not where you should be Scott Free."
And then
This
The issue ends Jake, Scott and Barda starting at Metron while the narration says all will be revealed next issue.
This seems to be how King's insistence that the story is canon will shake out, despite all of the New God stuff and even the brief Booster/Beetle appearance not lining up with the current state of the DCU.
I'm not entirely sure but if I had to guess I think this has all been a test to see if Scott still had the will to live after his suicide attempt? I dont want it to just be erased because that is hacky and shitty, and I think King is better than that, but that's REAL interesting.
showin you his hawg
Gotta dry your taint somehow
No that's what Batman did today
Specifically it's their necks - they don't have a strong chin divide because of the angle they're at, and their faces and necks seem to kind of be merging together
I agree most of it is good but theres some really odd stuff in there that looks like a weird perspective issue maybe or... I dont know, I really can't tell what's going on with the wonder woman especially
