If Robinson refuses to do Superman, what are the chances of another Jack Knight book appearing in the future?
"James Robinson currently has a deal with DC Comics enumerating that they cannot use his Starman characters without his permission, which is why Jack has appeared very little since the end of his series."
Has there been any indication as to why Robinson would be upset with the direction of the book? So far this new Krypton thing has been really cool. I'm enjoying the arc quite a bit.
Plus, if its an event orchestrated by Johns, its gonna be good. I don't see why he wouldn't like it.

Robinson's probably already finished writing all his New Krypton books, so he probably had an argument with Didio about something else. Trusting Didio, it was probably something insanely stupid, like when he was forcing Jim Shooter to put "Super Lad" in Legion.

Robinson pretty clearly wants to leave them where they are so we'll probably get a new book never.
I like that Jack Knight is done being a hero and is just living the happy family man life. A cameo might be nice, but he really doesn't need to have any more adventures of his own.
So I just read Supergirl, can someone please tell me who that was at the end?
Superwoman
we don't know her identity yet
Thanks Keith, I wasn't sure if I was suppose to know who that was or not. This is my first real time reading anything Superman (other than some of the Supergirl stories before New Krypton started)

Seriously. If Robinson didn't have that stipulation Jack would probably have been raped and murdered by Onomatopoeia or something equally retarded years ago.
Not that there hasen't been some good Elektra stuff post Miller, but the signal to noise ratio is off the charts
Exactly. There are a clutch of characters who other writers just don't get as well as the dude(s) who created or defined them. I mean, I'm more than open to reinterpretations and alternate visions and so on, but there's a point where it crosses the line into exploitation - using the character to lend unearned prestige to an otherwise lame or uninteresting story.

Man, they'll do a showcase for anything these days.
Good.
Edit: Hey, while we're talking about the new gods, what are some good, non-kirby bits in the DCU with the new gods and fourth-worlders? Cross-overs preferably.

So the word on the street is that Robinson did leave, Mark Waid was put on, than Robinson came back, and Waid was dropped.
But I love Mark Waid.

I would take Waid over Robinson on Superman, but I do want to see Robinson's Justice League come out so I'll take him over Waid if that's the bargaining chip
The premise behind Robinson's Justice League seems like such a retread though. Plus the cast, save for the notable exception of Congorilla, doesn't really do much for me.

So people can forever be reminded of the better Captain Marvel when they try and think of what to call him!
And this is where I insert a witty remark that ranks very high on the nerdometer expressing my general dislike toward Marvel's Captain Marvel, and most of their space-related characters and storylines.

Oh man, I love Bizarro, but I haven't been reading Superman 'til now so I haven't technically read a full-length Bizarro story. Can't wait!
If you want to read a short Bizarro story that's quite fantastic, there is a 2-part mini arc in Grant Morrison's All-Star Superman that's quite good. Also, Geoff Johns wrote a really good Bizarro arc recently, which I believe has been collected in trade format.
I really liked when Bizarro was being developed as a misguided, but ultimately sympathetic monster. There was some story leading up to Infinite Crisis that had Bizarro and Superman part on amiable terms, with Bizarro stating they were the, "Same, but different."
Then Geoff Johns had him beat a man to goo in the opening pages of Infinite Crisis, and ever since I'm like, "Fuck Bizarro. Bring on the blue kryptonite."

Like 80-90% of Darkseid stories post-Kirby.
You've gotta love that last 10% though.
It's from Ambush Bug (the series, not Year None), so that should explain a lot!
This?
