    Boy it bums me out how much the 15 issue cutting is clearly cutting the legs out from King's Batman finale

    This is an issue of almost all narration, during which 2 different poems are quoted in their entirety

    I have really liked most of King's run but this is a very disappointing way for it to wrap up

    Gainax (or, if you prefer, Team Xeno) Ending.

    I'm so ready for King's run to end.

    And I liked most of it, but it just has felt like it has dragged and dragged and dragged.

    I don't think the entire City of Bane arc has been any good. If you're into the Catwoman/Batman relationship there are things there for you but it's been a big misfire for me and I'm glad it's getting truncated so he can move on to something else.

    I just learned Kevin Conroy is gay??? He first publicly talked about it in a NYT interview 3 years ago and I never heard.

    Anyways he is gonna be the first openly gay actor to play Batman in live action on CoiE and that kicks ass

    I know it's nice for Conroy to actually be able to appear onscreen as Batman, but part of me wants old school animated series Batman to just show up Roger Rabbit style.

    Brian Michael Bendis put up the cover for Young Justice #14 on Instagram, featuring four heroes that might join the team.

    I would like

    All of them to join

    Also I am glad to see Sideways, that guy has rad powers and a great costume and it is nice to see PoC heroes not vanishing after debuting

    DC ran this ad for its upcoming TDKR continuation, The Golden Child:
    mcn9wjybr9dt.jpg

    By Rafael Grampa. Which is just gorgeous as hell.

    But there was backlash online from Chinese fans who claim that it is endorsing the Hong Kong protests. Because...molotovs, I guess?

    DC caved almost immediately and pulled the ad, which is pretty disappointing.

    That bit where batman calls a shotgun the weapon of the enemy and then breaks it in half was pretty good. And I like Carrie a lot but...yeah

    oh right I should read properly, still, I stand by it.

    That whole quote involving “my parents taught me a different lesson, they taught me the world doesn’t make sense unless you force it to” is one of my favorite Batman quotes.

    The context of it is pretty garbage though. I was really disappointed when I finally read the book and found out where it was from.

    You are apparently blessedly unaware of the existence of THE DARK KNIGHT STRIKES AGAIN and THE DARK KNIGHT III: MASTER RACE

    The last issue of Master Race came out just a little over two years ago, that's still pretty recent!

    I think Watchmen the show is as good as Watchmen the book so far.

    I am struggling real hard to disagree with this, but so far the show has given me no reason to.

    I honestly think Watchmen the show is way better

  • HobnailHobnail Registered User regular
    I think that TV Watchmen is a better exploration and iteration than Watchmen deserves

    Broke as fuck in the style of the times. Gratitude is all that can return on your generosity.

    HBO Watchmen does so far have 100% less rape than Alan Moore's Watchmen, which is a big point in its favor.

    Also it has a lot of racists being beaten up and/or murdered, which does not happen much in Alan Moore's Watchmen.

    Oh, and it has multiple main characters of color, which Alan Moore's Watchmen also does not.

    If I had to guess, I'd say it's less about the molotov and more because "The Future is Young" sounds like the kind of easily easily remembered and shouted slogan that catches on as a rallying cry when you have a large number of young people fighting against authority.

    Just a guess though.

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    I mean even then

    It is not a slogan that the HK Protests are using

    If we are entering the territory where literally any sort of protest imagery can get quashed by China or whichever World Power you wanna choose because it is vaguely maybe similar possibly

    That sucks ass

    That seems like a dope reason to start some civil disobedience

    So what

    is Batwoman going to do

    about being a year behind the other shows

    They haven't addressed it and the next episode is Crisis

    They think enough things through, they must've thought this through

    Her "pilot" during last year's crossover happened around episode 3-4 of her series, it's only referenced as a background detail though. It's a bit like the big timeskip at the end of last year's Arrow series that isn't highlighted but definitely happened
    ie the whole of the rest of Felicity's pregnancy, with Oliver leaving right into this current series so he's not been on Monitor duty for longer than we've seen on the show.

    That's what I'm saying, they've only just recently caught up to Elseworlds, they are still a year behind everyone else

    Good point about the implied timeskip for Arrow, but I think you could probably just assume that happened over the summer?

    oh wait yeah...

    So did anyone bite the bullet and watch the Harley show?

    Curious if it's better than what the trailer made it out to be.
