    Kind of a dull month for DC; the only new thing that caught my eye is the Untold Tales of the Blackest Night book. The GL Tales books are always fun, and I'm sure this one will be no different.

    I still am not excited about EW from the previews, it doesn't sound like much is going to happen.

    Edit: Agent Orange and Emerald Eclipse hardcovers are finally out, though.

    Whoops, thats what I meant.

    I know a lot of people around here have been upset about the $25 EE hardcover, and will be relieve to see it's a $15 trade.

    Or just more upset if they ended up getting it.

    My thoughts:
    Poor Nicola Scott.

    Not sure if I'm interested in a Giffen-less JL: Generation Lost. Winick and Giffen seemed to work really well together, take him away and I'm worried it'll turn to Titans.

    The Batman one-shot lineup actually looks surprisingly good. Only ones I'll actively avoid are the Beechen and Fridolfs issues. Nothing against Fridolfs, his writing inexperience is probably just going to make him stand out (in a bad way) in that lineup. On the other hand, everything against Beechen, he's a really bad writer.

    JMS's Superman run is the worst and I really, really dislike the direction they're taking Lex. Funny how a couple of years ago, Supergirl was by far the worst Super family book but now, it's by far the best.

    The Catwoman solicit makes me think, are they actually a couple or anything? It says she loves him, did they ever profess that yes, they are massively into each other?

    I know they fuck pretty regularly. I wanted to know if they had ever actually professed any love for each other. Because if Batman actually shacked up with Catwoman that would be kind of cool. I mean, she wouldn't need to steal stuff because he's mega rich so she wouldn't be a criminal any more and seeing Damien and Selina argue would be funny.

    He told Selina he loved her at the end of Heart of Hush.

    And he fucking broke Diana's heart.

    To hell with Diana. Selina is hotter and cooler anyways. Even now Wondy has her jacket which is the hallmark of trying to hard to fit in with the popular kids. I always really digged the Catwoman/Batman relationship, she seemed to be a great foil for his character.

    When you get down to it Bruce looks t things in a very straightforward way, he doesn't like criminals or crime, yet he likes Catwoman who is a master thief and she dances around him in a way which he must find rather difficult to deal with. I like that. Wonder Woman and Batman are to much of an easy pairing.

    Wonder Woman and Batman are an easy pairing? Huh? How? She's an immortal goddess that most pair with Superman before anything else (super womb for super sperm and all that jazz). The WW/Batman pairing only recently started gaining traction from what I understand.

    It seems very obvious, but for me is not the right choice for telling the stories want to read about, was what I should have said.

    Oh, I'm with you on Catwoman/Batman pairing, but I like the Wonder Woman dynamic too. It'll always go back to Catwoman, but I dont really see a problem playing with the WW/Bruce one either.

    Yes, the far less obvious pairing is Batman and Catwoman. It's never happened before.

    Yes, the far less obvious pairing is Batman and Catwoman. It's never happened before.

    What I mean is that there is something more interesting than a pairing between Bruce, who is the best and brightest of humanity really, and Diana, who is the paragon of the Amazons. They are both amazing but that's pretty much it, and besides I can never see Diana in that way. Whereas Catwoman and Batman is much mroe interesting, she's been an enemy to him but he still can't get her out of his head, and they dance around each other in a way which makes for good stories.

    Just for me it's a better pairing. I literally cannot see Diana in a relationship, because to me she's not actually a strong enough character, there's nothing to her other than her being "The perfect woman," whatever that means.

    Does Wonder Woman really have a super womb? I thought she only had limited invulnerability. So, if Superman made her the target of his super sperm, she would have no choice but to deflect them with her wonder bracers (or whatever), or risk grievous injury.

    Hey, in her new costume, if she punched the super sperm out of the air, it would fall to the ground in the shape of a W. That would be awesome. It's how Wonder Woman signs her work, letting the sperm inside Superman know that Wonder Woman is getting closer.

    but it would never happen, because Clark loves Lois. Do they have sex, or is that impossible? I know he has said that them having children was far too dangerous for Lois and he wouldn't run the risk.

    Also Robos don't be such a prude.

    I think they probably do. Precise muscle control and all that. The not having children bit is probably more the danger in carrying a Kryptonian child to term (the first time it kicks, Lois loses a stomach).

    Superman is like a solar battery, right? Why don't they just send him to the arctic when the sun is down for like a month and send him back to Metropolis at night time (with a candle to set the mood) so he and Lois can have a romantic evening. From then on Lois will need to constantly fly around under guise of darkness for about 9 months.

    This really makes me wonder how the kids in DBZ didn't destroy their mothers. At least Kirkman got around that issue by having Viltrumite powers kick in around puberty.

    Or, you know, red sunlight lamps...

    And why would Lois need to fly around under guise of darkness? Last I checked, no-one's going to be shining yellow sunlight up her vagina at any point.

    Solar, wanna see Bruce and Selina together? Go read some old Earth 2 books. Or one of the multiple elseworlds stories where they either ended up together or still have a relationship. Or one of the multiple in-continuity stories where they're together (before splitting apart at some point). It's nothing new and at this point, I feel like it's been worn out.

    Wonder Woman, you don't seem to have a clue what her character is like so your opinion on her seems pretty absurdly ignorant.

    Relax man. No need to get all hostile about it. I think Wonder Woman is a poorly made and badly defined character, you don't. We don't need to be making comments like that, this isn't the cbr forums.

    It wasn't really meant to sound hostile. I agree that Wonder Woman isn't perfect, I'd like a good costume change and a more solid definition to make writers interpretations of her more consistent but I hardly think that makes her a bad character. Just like with any character, she's awesome when written well.

    On a related point, would we agree that the solicits are making it fairly clear that Wonder Woman's 'big change' is in fact just a temporary matter for the purpose of this arc?

    Yeah, this seems to me something that won't last. certainly not beyond the next writer, thus continuing the problem which Diana has.

    Yep. She might keep the costume though, at least as an alternate outfit.

    I still wonder why Morrison's take on her was shunted off to Earth One non-continuity; I'm looking forward to seeing it.

    Probably because Morrison changed up stuff to make it more coherent and better defined, and it actually didn't fit into the mainstream continuity. I am also really looking forward to seeing it to, I hope it's Diana's equivalent of All-Star Superman.
