Lord_Hambrose posted:How long until Superman revealing his identity is undone? No one thinks Superman is Clark Kent anymore after an arc where 90s Superman (and Lois and Jon) was introduced to replace New 52 Superman so at one point, there was both a Clark Kent and a Superman publically running around with no disguise shenanigans before New 52 Superman was dissolved and merged with 90s Superman

Bendis Daredevil, where Matt Murdock was publicly revealed to be Daredevil, is probably my favorite street level superhero comic run ever, but I instinctively think this Superman thing is a dumb idea.

Covok posted:I have to agree. Lex Luthor's whole shitck is that he is a normal, greedy businessman with a lot to prove. He was top dog until Superman showed up. This is why some people bemoan Superman because he was gifted with all these traits while Luthor worked for them. However, I, an intellectual, argue that Lex's response to Superman is the ultimate condemnation of his person: a truly great man would have worked with Superman to help others instead of tearing down the entire world to try to scream at the void that he was superior. This is the best understanding of Lex Luthor I've seen, and I agree with your sentiment about All-Star Superman, which rules.

I've really enjoyed the book so far, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. A lot of people are framing it as "he won't be Clark Kent anymore" but I think it's gonna be more complicated and interesting than that.

This is one of my favorite comic runs for sure. Kingpin leaking it to the tabloids made it work so much better. It is in no way the same though, Matt had to deny being Daredevil while still being Daredevil but it obviously can't work the same way Still all things considered Bendis is one of my favorite writers. For as much of his work is pretty forgettable (partly because of the volume certainly) he has so many things that are some of my favorite books ever. I can't think of anything he has done that is outright bad, so I am sure Superman will be fine.

Kingpin says "No, you can't kill Matt Murdock" he's all like "what's so special about Matt Murdock?" And things escalated from there.

New JL issue has about a line of back and forth between Jarro and Damien and it's about what you'd expect from two pure boys who want their dad's affection and attention.

I was enjoying Titans, but the betrayal by the blue kid doesn't really makes that much sense. The explanations was super half-baked I thought. Even worse, the fact the the team seems to have forgiven Damien from one issue to the next seems very odd.

Writers love to write Damian as the most amoral, awful little rear end in a top hat (kind of missing the point) then have everyone forgive him with little consequence so they can repeat the process next arc. Every writer just wants to rewrite Morrison's first arc with him over and over, really.

I liked Batman Universe for the most part but man that last issue was rough. Borderline parody levels of "Bendis-speak".

Hey Goons, help me out. I picked up Batman: White Knight from the library and I'm two chapters in and this is... bad? This is bad, right? Like Joker takes magic drugs and he's a good guy but then turns Clayface to dust to mind control villains? That's really bad. Two Harleys? Very obvious sequel baiting immediately with Mr Freeze (was there a thing before this showing him working with Batman? This is Elsewords poo poo yes?) Flipping forward and seeing him snap back and forth between Joker and Jack with make up is just LOLOL. I'm open to it being me though. Sean Murphy is a hell of an artist though. Those inks!

My favourite dumb thing in White Knight is that Jason Todd is the first Robin in White Knight's continuity because Sean Murphy didn't know the standard one.

I really like the two Harleys thing. Goes a long way to reconcile fun comedy book Harley existing in the same universe as the lovely Joker Lite version from Suicide Squad. I still remember that the month before Harley Quinn got a solo series she starred in a one shot where she explicitly mass murders a ton of children. What a fun wacky character!

Rhyno posted:Two Harleys? Is this some Three Jokers bullshit? It is more elegant than that, thankfully. The first Harley was the one from the cartoon who got fed up and left. Then some fangirl just stepped in and the Joker doesn't know the difference because he too crazy. Which, uhh.... Sure. I had forgotten about Three Jokers being a thing. Hopefully the fall of Geoff John's means it will never be mentioned again. Man, I can't wait for 5G to come and bury DC for good. The were doing better with Rebirth but they are definitely starting to get stupid again.

The two harley things is done ok but that whole comic is bad bad There are three batmans right now, between batman, dadbat, and dark multiverse batman. Batman 84 ended up being pretty good. I just wanna see dadbat fight jokerbat.
