Is Tom King depressed or something? He's been spinning his wheels for a while now with Batman.

I think he had planned 100 issues with Catwoman leaving in the middle and then them actually getting married at 100 and then realized he didn't have 50 issues worth of story for the back half.

So I guess one or both of Flashpoint Bat-Dad and MARTHA sticking around will be the thing King got approved to change Batman forever or whatever, right?

I wasn't overly excited about the prospect of Miller writing a Superman book, but after reading Year One last night I'm pleasantly surprised.

It had a few roll your eyes moments but on the whole I enjoyed it, but I'm definitely treating it as an Elseworlds tale.

I thought this issue of Batman was the best in a long time. It felt so nice to be out of dream and flashback issues, and Bellaire's work is amazing in it.

King's definitely seen El Topo.
If Batdad turns hero and sticks around with maybe a resurrected mom, and Bruce and Selina have a good relationship in BM/CW and he ends the series able to be Batman while being fulfilled and happy with these relationships, that'll be a total defeat of Bane's plan for him. I can see that happening with the parents bit would fit the big crazy status quo thing he's been talking about.

If you needed any more proof of Vertigo going bye bye.

So things will only be released under DC Kids, DC or Black Label, but Young Animal, Wildstorm, Sandman Universe, Wonder Comics and Jinxworld will still keep their branding? Clear as mud.
And you can still make creator owned stuff, but it'll just be mixed in with the rest?

The Zoom/Ink OGNs must've been selling like poo poo. I hope Superman Smashes the Klan still comes out.

I dunno, DC Zoom still sounds like it's oriented towards younger audiences without alienating kids at the older end of the age range who don't want to read stuff labeled "kids."

I didn't read JL at the time, but looking at dates his last issue was in the month that B&R #1 came out. It was the concluding chapter of a storyline, so I'm guessing he didn't use Grayson.

I think that'd basically be it. He wants to start a happy family again with Bruce, so might as well use the sane version he won't have to kill again.
Or he just got ported in to the universe alone and can't go back.

she wasn't chosen by a ring, which does sidestep the most powerful weapon in the universe creating a sixth(?) human lantern who would also be a young child ("Teen Lantern" is only eleven), but Bendis once again went to the "young STEM genius who reverse-engineers advanced technology" well but in this case she hacked a Power Battery to supercharge her Nintendo Power Glove

The reason Jon wasn't allowed onto the teen titans was because he wasn't a teenager. Now he is 20 something and won't be on the team again.

Pretty sure he's now 16 or something. He's gonna be joining a much better team of teens. gently caress Titans.

Teen Lantern seems fun. Got no problem with Bendis creating more smart black girl characters wherever he goes.

You would think that the creators of Lucifer and Unwritten getting another series to do would be awesome news, and you would be right. Also I am always down for more Kelley Jones art so I'm in for that too.

I don’t have a problem with there being lots of human Green Lanterns, to be clear, more of a problem with “we have 7200 people to police the entire universe” because that is quite silly. For some reason I can’t suspend my disbelief around that so want there to be so many GLs that having six humans is not in the least remarkable.
