/co/ - Comics & Cartoons

We're going full circle.

>>241759
DC has had a Deadpool expy before, actually--it was in a Batman/Superman annual, and he was explicitly a version of Deathstroke from an alternate reality whose personality just happened to match Deadpool's, and he said he went by a different name that started with "Dea-" but was stopped before he could finish it.

"With DC rebirth we want to make as many poor decisions straight out of the gate as possible, I mean it's months away and we've already started fucking up!"

For context on that quote.

>>241768
>>241769
More SJWs whining about how DC isn't making every comic the Burger King Kids Club. Yawn.

>>241786
No, see it's the opposite, it's about DC not being able to have it both ways, you can't chase your old "white, cis, male" fanbase off with pitchforks and fire then turn around and chase your new "inclusive, diverse, LGBT" fanbase with pitchforks and fire and expect the old ones to come slinking back.

It's clear management feels untouchable and are disconnected in the extreme, management, in particular Dan Didio, Jim Lee and most of all Eddie Berganza the rapist need to go, they are a blood clot in DC's brain.

Until that happens DC is gonna continue hemorrhaging fans, that's what the desperation of Rebirth is, they have no idea who they are or who their fanbase is.

>>241746
Didn't marvel do the same thing with the killing off their multiverse and a new status quo etc etc?

I'm mostly disgusted by both of the "Big 2" and have began to feel saddened that people still give them so much money for their often terrible books.

>>241791
Marvel is actively being more disgusting than DC when it comes to comics, but the key difference is that they can afford it, they have and actual casual audience thanks to the movies that they can draw on, they can afford to experiment and fuck with things.

DC is very poorly trying to copy them, Rebirth is literally the same business model copy pasted from Marvel's All-New All Different after DCyou catastrophically failed, except instead of being "All-New, All-Different" it's "Same old, Same old" as DC wants to put the floor back in the screen door submarine that is the New52, DC has nothing, not a casual audience, no more diehards after the new52, and Rebirth is some bizarre appeal to new fans that they are putting everything back the way it was when they hated them. They are losing fans faster than before the new52 and trying to copy Marvel is the worst possible idea.

Marvel is greedy and smart, DC is greedy and FUCKING UNIMAGINABLY CATASTROPHICALLY FUCKING STUPID.

A reminder.

Makes me think of a scene that could redeem BvS. Clark just showing up at wherever Bruce is after he learns all there is about the tormented and scared boy attempting to keep what his family worked to save form rotting away completely.

And just talking.

>>241835
But then I rememberd that THE ROCK was cast as Black Adam so DURP, I really need to go to bed now.

>>241835
Honestly I'm not even sure why they need to make a movie for each of the Justice League biggies aside from Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Cyborg.
At least Marvel Studios has the good sense to pick the heroes for their movies in such a way that they can make each one a different genre and have a superficial sense of variety to them.
But in DC's case it sounds like they're just deciding to give each on of their frontliners a movie whether or not it'll hasten superhero fatigue and cause the whole bubble to collapse in on themselves.

http://www.newsarama.com/28349-justice-league-50-delayed-until-may.html

Nothing says DC editorial fuckery like delaying a series to rewrite it for an event so poorly thought out and desperate it comes out in 2 months.

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/03/25/the-race-to-finish-the-dc-rebirth-presentation-for-wondercon-tomorrow-morning/

"We’ve already looked at how Scott Snyder‘s next Batman run has moved from Detective Comics Rebirth to another monthly Batman title to come. Also how we’ve heard Marguerite Bennett found her approved Wonder Woman Rebirth stories dropped in favour of Greg Rucka after her editor left.

...To the extent that some creators are finding themselves uninvited by DC to WonderCon – including two who were on the way to the airport – as they no longer have a book to be announced."

Is there any hope Rebirth won't be a pile of shit? No, no there is not.

Why does anyone even try to work DC at this point, the last five years have been torture for their employees.

>>242190
Because everyone else pays minimum wage.

/mtv/ may be fucked but atlest we got this.
//youtube.com/watch?v=aBJyp2LFHgk

It might turn out shit, but I will probably pick up Blue Beetle and Birds of Prey. Ted Kord and Jaime Reyes is an idea I have been fond of in the past. It reminds me of that short-lived Earth 42 idea on /co/ in the past. As for BoP, I unironically love Black Canary's new costume, and Huntress' is ok too. Also, Batgirl's current costume has grown on me, even if I prefer Babs as Oracle.

It will probably end up shit.
>>242190
I hate enjoying certain characters and concepts and creators but hating the company's bullshit practices. Seriously, that's disgusting.

DC full June 2016 solicitations: http://www.newsarama.com/28585-dc-comics-full-june-2016-solicitations.html

This is now the only Justice League movie that matters.

http://www.techtimes.com/articles/145056/20160328/superman-is-married-and-has-a-son-in-dc-comics-rebirth.htm

>Clark Kent will be married to none other than Lois Lane. While DC's New 52 reboot had Superman and Wonder Woman hooking up, it looks like this new initiative will have Clark return to his most famous love interest and settle down.

>The world needs a Man of Steel, but can Superman protect the world while raising a super-son with his wife, Lois Lane?

Remember how DC stressed this wasn't going to be a reboot? backpedal motherfuckers, backpedal as hard as you can.

> Lois is back
Hurrah!
> son
Fuck!...

>>242241
Isn't that the pre-new 52 Clark and Lois though? This doesn’t seem new.

>>242241
There's actually going to be three different Supermans, Tiki. Pre-52 Clark w/Lois. 52 Clark w/o Lois. And new Rebirth flavor Chinese Super-Man.

https://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/6084751.html#cutid1
This is why I am so fucking sick of the Batman/Joker drama.
Not even supernatural stuff can help it so why give a fuck anymore.

Bet if they both died at the same Bat would try to stop Satan Jokers soul to hell or some bullshit.
BAH!

http://www.newsarama.com/28744-doom-patrol-leads-new-dc-imprint-by-gerard-way.html
So this is actually happening now.

>>242340
Five years ago if you told me Gerard Way would be an award-winning comic book writer I would've laughed at you. But I'm actually kinda excited for this, especially if he's saying it's going to be inspired by the Morrison run.

>>242385
Damn. Fell for it.

>>242340
Gerard Way is absolutely perfect for Doom Patrol.

Saw a DC comic in a newsrack with swedish text for the first time in years.
And it was an antologi with John Constantine guest staring the Spectre with some other horror stuff like Amarican Vampire.
So I guess capeshit is still dead in sweden when it comes to comics.

Oh boy

>>242509
... Sigh.

>>242509

It's really disgusting that they still have him on staff. Absolutely defies belief.

>>242519
What kinda blackmail could be so bad that they're this afraid to fire him?

>>242525
Murder, it's the only thing I can think of.

>>242525
He has to have some kind of dirt on Didio and Johns or some other higher ups. Or maybe they like him and are keeping him around at the expense of others.

>>242646
Talk about the Streisand effect.

Eh, I stopped reading them even before the New 52. And Marvel has gone down the drain too - all the unnecessary character changes, like female Thor or Falcon being the upteenth Captain America (who hasn't been Cap at this point?) - I just watch the animated movies they make - well, that DC makes - and hope some of them at least turn out allright.

"RED HOOD & THE OUTLAWS #1"

Oh yeah, because that piece of shit was worth bringing back... when it embodies some of the worst things about the New 52. Does this mean Starfire remains an unemotional slut?

>241836
So? He already played an ancient egyptian king... TWICE. He fits the bill.
Not that you can find many ancient egyptian actors these days, anyway.

>>242385
No, it really wasn't. It was terrible and boring. Full center Damian is why, mostly. But the other members of the Titans were all annoying too. And Trigon was barely there as a plot device even.
Also, dead link, not sure what you are linking. I do wish they brought back Young Justice - only decent DC animation is YEARS.

>>242647
Geez! Poor Clark has NO ELBOWS at all! Seriously! His arms are pure muscle, not leaving place to bend. :D
Also, too blue. Should have left the red boots.

>>242780
It's better than that terrible tiny "skirt" ruffle she used to have.

This is worse than Infinite Crisis, and that was already pretty bad.

>>242874
>>242875

As someone who is largely out of touch with DC comics, can you guys tell me what's wrong? I mean, /co/ is just crowing over and over again how this will "finally defeat Marvel" so they seem pretty happy...

>>242877

Well, for one thing, they've fucking folded Watchmen into DC continuity.

For another, there are now THREE fucking Jokers running around.

>>242877

Aside from the little details like three Jokers and the fractured continuities and such, the Big F’n Deal here is DC dropping the bombshell of Dr. Manhattan having something to do with either the creation or the fracturing of the DC Universe. It both folds Watchmen into the proper DC continuity—something that’s fucking unreal in its own right—and comes off as a desperate move to generate interest in/high sales for Rebirth.

>>242879
>>242878

Hmm, I guess I always just assumed that Watchmen took place on one of those multiverse earths so it was always "in continuity... sort of."

Please, please, PLEASE do not give Dr. Manhattan the Superboy Prime treatment.

>>242881
A thousand times this. I mean, at least as I see it, some people missed the point of stories like the Watchmen and tried aping them in all the wrong ways, but of course any nuance that could be explored there will be glanced over.

>>242880
I assumed that too. It's it's own thing, separate from the DCU, but inspired by characters that were folded into the main DCU. I like some things here and I feel there are things that need cleaning up, but I worry about how it will actually turn out. I'm only going to get a few books anyway. Not all of them really interest me.

>>242884
I'm not a collector type so I'll likely only buy one copy if I do. But man, I don't like single issues as a format.
I'll probably come off as whiny but can't I just pre-order the Future Quest paperback?

>>242885
>I'll probably come off as whiny but can't I just pre-order the Future Quest paperback?

Because buying single issues helps it so that it isn't just the one paperback.
Low single issue sales are what kill series, and a comic book based on 60s Hanna Barbara adventure cartoons that have been turned into jokes by Adult Swim is not a guaranteed top seller.

I was thrown off a bit, but I really should have seen this coming.

http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2016/05/23/why-dc-universe-rebirth-is-a-gutsy-work-of-comics-criticism

>>242904

What a load of apologist horseshit. Even if we take the interpretation presented at face value, Geoff Johns has been a major creative force at DC for ages. Some of the dumbest, grimmest bullshit they've put out has been his baby. How fucking dare he try to pass the buck onto Moore?

>>242908
Clearly, Moore made him do it.

>>242908
>>242909
That's not what I took from this. I agree that Johns is just as guilty. However the dude is right. Too many people tried aping good dark stories and they fucked it all up.

>>242910
Comic book authors have done that on their own. Having Manhattan as a representation of Watchmen take active part in making comics darker is pretty disingenuous.

>>242910

Johns isn't 'just as guilty', because that implies that Moore is guilty. The only thing Moore is guilty of is being so good at his job that everyone else thought they should try to be him too.

The existence of Watchmen or the Killing Joke isn't a problem. The shitty direction of DC editorial in response to them, though? That's a real problem.

>>242913
Bingo. And seeing how DC's management team hasn't changed at all, I doubt Rebirth will succeed where past reboots have failed.

>>242911
>>242913
I never said that those stories existing was bad, hence "good stories". They stand the test of time. And yeah, the dude saying "poisoned the well" isn't a good way of stating it. It's not the stories fault's, nor is it the creative teams who spawned them. It's more the people who read them and write grim dark drew because they missed the point. I guess what the point is is that even really good things can inspire bad stories. It doesn't make the stories themselves bad, but they are a source of inspiration for better or worse.

And it brought at least one guy back who was driven off by the new 52.

None of this even guarantees success and given DC's track record, it will probably fail, or at the very least not so as well as they hope.

But yeah, the guy said some stuff I was thinking about for some time.

Oh, this will work out well.
http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/geoff-johns-offers-to-buy-back-dc-universe-rebirth-1-if-fans-arent-satisfied

And Lo did I return to find the prophesy fulfilled, Rebirth is even more terrible than I initially predicted.

>>242924

I still wager it's going to sell gangbusters. An oversized event comic for $2.99? Fanservice out the ass? Event that's hyped to high heaven for months? I would be really surprised if this WASN'T #1 on the monthly charts.

>>242953
This is what happens when you give fanboys the keys to the kingdom.

This whole thing has been stupid, but enjoyable.
And way better than Captain Hydra.

>>242953
Good riddance!

>>242886
Oh.
Well in that case.

KILL THE FLOPPY FORMAT. KILL. DESTROY. KILL.

>>242960
Don't copy that floppy.

If you are only going to read on Batman comic this year, make it this one.
https://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/6241226.html#cutid1

So, what do you guys think the best Superman stories are? I mean, everyone knows All-Star Superman and For the Man Who Has Everything, but what else is there?

>>243092
Grounded I've heard is pretty good.

>>243093
Are you high? Grounded is a nonsensical story that is entirely out of character for Clark in basically everything it has him do.

It is simply awful.

>>243093
YOU SHUT YOUR GODDAMN MOUTH

>>243092
Honestly, I actually liked "whatever happened to the man of tomorrow"
It want perfect, but it really got to the heart of superman.

>>243092
Among the Elseworlds, I really like Secret Identity. Kurt Busiek is one of the top Superman writers of all time, in my book.

Speaking of which, there's also a book by Tom De Haven called "It's Superman!", that's a 1930's period piece that's kind of a prequel/backstory to character prior to his debut in Action Comics.

>>243269
I fucking hope it is!

>>243362
I wonder what other obscure characters will show up.

>>243363

From the Background model sheet it looks like we'll get quite a few. I can go for this being little slices of life similar to Brave and the Bold.

>>243365
I heard they dropped Brave and The Bold for that super failure hard edge Batman cartoon so the company line is that cartoons can't be gritty even if everything else is.

Hence we're getting this.

BEWARE THE BATMAN! That's the name of that shitshow 3D Batman, God Reboot felt more populated than that shit Gotham.

>>243367
Just looked it up, maybe it's because I'm so used to the Timm version but holy shit that Bats looks ugly.

>>243367

That's the way of CGI on a tight budget. Not much room to make background assets. It's like the first season of the Nick Ninja Turtles.

>>243369
bad decision after bad decision.

>>243370

I liked where it was going using lesser known rogues from the gallery. But anything DC Nation was doomed from the start. Because if it's an outside property vs a Cartoon Network original or cheap import. Then those latter ones are going to win.

>>243371
>using lesser known rogues from the gallery

It didn't use them at all, that was the problem, they used the name and the likeness but changed everything good.

Failures one and all top to bottom.

Cancelled after 11 Episodes deservedly so.

>>243374
I kind of liked it but yeah, it was the worst Batman cartoon and it didn't use what it had as well as it could have. There are a lot of lesser known characters that could be used, but they need to be done well, the stories have to be good, and the animation has to be good too. I'm just still bummed my favorite Batman story hasn't been adapted yet.

As for DC Nation, I really wish it stood more of a chance as I enjoyed many of the shorts and the shows they aired around. But yeah, that block was doomed in retrospect.

I love that New 52 Superman was such a cancer they literally just killed him off and replaced him with Pre-52 Superman, everyone else they revised but he'd just become such a cancer they sent him back to his home planet. (being dead.)

>>243380
Really? I hate that only twist. I thought New 52 Superman was doing fine and the old one coming back to show him how A Real Superman does things, then immediately doing the same exact stories except also sometimes being a complete pill of a middle aged man showed off how very powerful the notion of angry nostalgic fanboys could be. Superman is now back to being My Dad and I hate it. It's so much regression, and so unnecessary.

>>243387
I don't know what to tell you if you saw anything beyond Morrison's action comics as progress for the character.

>>243388
I thought having Superman be less glorified and less of a fuddy-duddy middle aged depressed man was a good turn for the character, and while only Morrison's Action Comics did that just right the rest I didn't think were any worse than what Superman was doing before the reboot. Killing him off to bring back pre-FP Superman doesn't "fix" anything, it just solidified comics and their fandom as a bunch of fanboys who always cling to the past and good old days.

>>243409
Man, fuck Didio.

>>243409
What in the fuuuuck

>>243423
What a whiny twat. Being a lesbo I honestly don't have a problem with his art care about his but he needs to grow a thicker skin and stop being such a fucking baby about it all.

>>243457
Is this for JLA?

>>243457
>That line.

Ha. Should be a fun cartoon, but the 11-minute time limit concerns me. Can't blame WBA when CN refuses to repeat anything that doesn't fit their mold. Hard to believe we once had hour-long Justice League episodes. That's something that will never happen again. (But to be honest, I don't mint cuz JL would seriously have pointless filler to fill out the time length).

>>243459
Yup!

>>243482
Well, I like Jon. As long as the book focuses on him instead of nuKal-L it might be alright.

>>243566

It gets worse. A lot worse.

https://storify.com/marcyjcook/start-to-finish-breakdown-of-the-killing-joke-movi

Eh, just gonna sit back and see where this goes.

Even without reading that much into the way the movie portrays Babs, that is NOT how to approach criticism, and putting in a sex scene like that is the last thing I want to see between her and Bruce.

>>243567
ok. Yeah. Fuck that.

>>243569
Timm is a weirdo who seems to have some obsession about Bruce fucking Babs.

I dunno, maybe he just likes to have Batman fucking all the chicks to show how big his batdick is while being a brooding asshole who's never going to actually get together with one of them, didn't they have him fucking Lois Lane too in the DCAU along with his massive string of love interests in his own cartoon and Wonder Woman in the Justice League cartoon?

>>243604
Though to be frank people kinda wrote her into having a kinda thing for Batman a bit earlier than him. Timm just went with it.

Also kinda makes sense since they lined up for a bit that it would make their relationship possible. But eventually as Barbara states in Beyond. She just had to move on since he would always put the job first.

As unlikely as it is, I still kind of hope we get a Birds of Prey movie, since Babs becomes Oracle.

Yeah, the sex scene is probably the most outputting part of the movie, but honestly, I enjoyed it for the most part.

>>243609
Wait is that Constantine?

>>243619
I believe he's known as Istanbul nowadays, thank you very much.

>>243620
That'll likely change in a bit. So we'll have Constantine via Constantinople in Cimmeria

>>243620
>>243621
But why did Constanine ople get the works?

>>243623

Ain’t nobody’s business but the Turks.

>>243734
Yeah fuck you New 52, why did you bring Bibbo back? You should have completely forgotten him or had him raped like the good old DC.

>>243756
What in fuck are you talking about? 52 has been over for a year and was the death of anything resembling fun.

>>243758
God no it wasn't. DC Comics absolutely were not any more fun before New 52 and fun clearly existed in those books.

>>243903
Her video on Star Wars names is also pretty great.

>>243934
How did they make Superman filled with ghosts fighting the Eradicator on the moon, with Lois in a robot suit, so goddamn boring?

>>243937
I don't know.
I did expect both Superman and Lois to die for a second, since Eradicator ate Supes and the Hellbat suit slowly kills its wearer or something.

>>244014

I just really hate what they did to Ted's character. I understand the end goal they have in mind, to have a Ted Kord Blue Beetle back in the roster, but the way they're going about it is totally ass-backwards. Instead of it being Dan Garrett passing on the torch to Ted, this Kord feels like he's eagerly riding Jaime's reluctant coattails.

>>244016
I suppose, though I read it more as him being eager to be a mentor and play a sort of Batman role to this kid who just wants to live a normal life. It could have been handled better though. I'll see where it goes with further issues though.

Anyone checking out New Super-Man? Surprised how much I'm enjoying it so far, even though I never liked any of Yang's other work, especially not his Avatar comics.

I'm probably dumb for wanting this, but Emiko Queen for Teen Titans please.

Steve Dillon of Preacher fame just passed away. RIP.

Fuck 2016.

Based Dillon.

>>244444
While it is true that some people go way overboard with the whole "Frank face" meme, death should not be a shield to stop criticism of a man's work.

Reading the Wonder Woman Rebirth comics... they are actually pretty good. I like how they reinvented Cheetah's origins and made Barbara someone who was a friend to Diana before she changed.

>>244452

>>244457
There was a part in the latest issue that resonated with me a bit and I really liked it. Wonder Woman is one of my favorite books from DC right now and one of the few I keep up with regularly.

>>244720
I'm confused. This is a DC thread and everything in that post is Marvel related, did one company flagrantly rip off the other one or something?

>>244723
No, people just confuse which this thread is for because the OP doesn't have a title and the mobile version cuts it off on "MARVEL COMICS".

>>244724
And both in vague reboots at the same time further blurring lines.

Justice League Action is pretty fun.

>>244767
It's incredibly censored yet they seem to have picked stories that make it stand out like a sore thumb.

Maybe don't do Zombies if they have to breath gas instead of bite.

>>244768
Good point. Plus, as much as I like Constantine, the surly chainsmoking bisexual who fights demons seems like he will be wasted here. I still like the show well enough so far though.

>>244769
Don't they usually gloss over the 'bi' in his sexuality most of the time anyway and just have him with women?

>>244837
Nice using some iteration of her classic costume and no more knee gaps.

Has she met Superman Classic yet?

>>244837
I just wish her book could stop harping on her origin story over and over.

Brett Booth's art is meh and I hate Baseball cap Roy Harper, but I have been enjoying the current Titans book. I just wish it had better art.

Wow. I remember hearing about this one being "in the works" years ago.

Also next time just post the YouTube link: //youtube.com/watch?v=TmpUh7U7Sqk

>>245162
>I remember hearing about this one being "in the works" years ago.
It was announced in, what, 2008?

>>245163

Jeez, has it really been that long?

>>245164
Actually, it was anounced even longer ago--2006. It was supposed be the third DC Animated movie, after Superman: Doomsday and Justice League. 2008 was the year it was put on hold, and apparently remained there until last year.

That said, it seems to just be a new project with the same source material, not reviving whatever little they'd planned back then.

>>245162
Yeah, I should have just done that. Regardless, I have been looking forward to this and I hope it's good.
