Dick should have stayed as Batman and Cass should have been the new Nightwing  Do they call her Orphan? I mostly see everyone calling her Cass, with Orphan being throwed once in a while.

I'm not sure if her being adopted carried over too? Just stacking up parents and parental figures.

I don't remember B+RE too well, but her father had the 'Orphan' name first, and she took it when he went from villain to hero and sacrificed himself to kill the baddie. edit: Ha. There's a whole arc in Tynion's Detective on Cass and Shiva that I definitely read and don't remember at all. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 09:40 on Mar 29, 2019 |

I do like that in one of Tynion's final 'Tec issues, I think Babs points out how unhealthy it is that she took the name to honor her dead father who was nothing but terrible to her. Too bad nothing came of it, like, say, a good codename.

I was going to say that the new logo treatment is an homage to an old one but besides the "bat logo shape" it really isn't. TF is correct that Batman's name has taken equal/bigger billing for much of Detective's run. It was mostly just a picture of Batman's face next to the DETECTIVE logo for most of the 1950s, but as of about sixty years ago:        The arrangement's a little different but almost every issue's logo has read BATMAN DETECTIVE comics for about 18 years of using the same treatment, save for the New 52 switching things up (and the book being BATWOMAN DETECTIVE comics) for a year or so.

Open Marriage Night posted:It’s based off the logo from Tomasi’s Batman and Robin run.   Both of these seem to be riffs on the very first Batman logo from 1940  Which had the letters contract into the 'bat' for the Batman 66 TV Show  Then made less campy for the O'Neil/Adams era  And less campy yet!  Anyway my point is that putting words inside a Bat Logo is a pretty long tradition for it to be inspired by different words in a different type of font in a differently shaped Batman logo.  The new Detective logo is apparently designed by Ken Lopez for what it's worth.

So, what are some good Silver/Bronze Age (pre crisis on infinite earths) runs to check out? Off the top of my head stuff I'm curious about, Green Arrow/Green Lantern, O'Neill/Adams Batman, early Question, Wonder Woman when she's a Kung Fu spy, Kirby's 4th World stuff. Any other gems? What's good pre-crisis Flash?

Edge & Christian posted:My money is that it won't be in the library, but the Robert Kanigher/Ross Andru Lois Lane run that was published parallel to (and crosses over a bit with) Jack Kirby's Jimmy Olsen is frequently fun and a really interesting artifact that deserves to be remembered for more than I Am Curious Black, it's all about Lois Lane, Crusading Social Justice Journalist in the early 1970s so some of it clangs to the modern reader but it's also trying and it's extra weird to see a story about redlining turn into a plot by Mokkari and Desaad. They published black and white phone book collections of Lois Lane a while back didn't they, that's got to make it more likely they have digitized versions of it all ready.

From Wondercon, Doom Patrol is planned to continue (still with Way and Derrington) as a Vertigo comic, and all of the Sandman books are renewed for a second year. https://www.bleedingcool.com/2019/03/30/second-year-sandman-presents-doom-patrol-dc-vertigo/ Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Mar 31, 2019 |

DC Universe has some holes where I wish it didn't. No Impulse, and Johns's Teen Titans runs out at like issue 42. No Shade the Changing Man. No Final Crisis. Are there hidden treasures in there or should I just finish the Morrisson Doom Patrol and be done with it?

Like in a week or two the comic selection is going from 2k to 20k so there will be lots of stuff. Just scoping the featured comics and New Frontier and Dini's Zatana are both good. Batman: The Cult, Gotham Central, and 52 are both stellar from just a quick scroll. Edit: there are a number of good series. Peter David's aquaman run, all the green lantern and related books, the 02 hawkman is good, jla year one, all of Jsa. There is a ton of good stuff.
