The Official DC Stupid Question Thread....

[trustyside-kick]

Question for some WW fans, or fans who happened to have read these 2 issues:
What exactly happens in WW #162-163?

I read some little information on it and it talks about her interacting with Aquaman. But what confuses me is because they end up fighting Triton or something I read when Triton is supposed to be dead...Aquaman defeated him several years before this story and then his own father (Poseidon) finished him off.

:huh:

[Spike_x1]

Does anyone know what happened to Jimmy Olson's mom from the Byrne Era? I remember when she was introduced, Superman was like "Daaamn, what a MILF! :wow:"

Whatever became of her character?No one?

[Anubis]

She's doing MILF porn on Bizarro world.

[Spike_x1]

YES! :mad::up:

:huh:I...vaguely...remember those issues...sortanotreally...perhaps...

The easy answer is that gods die and come back pretty frequently. Pan died very early in WW's series, too, and then he just came back a couple years later.

After glancing at the Reis drawn JLA origin back up in 52 #51,I am very confused.

I always thought that the JLA Year One story had been taken out of continuity and resulted in Supes,Bats and Wonder Woman being retconned as the founding members.

In 52 #51,it states that Canary,Aquaman,Manhunter,Flash and GL formed the core of the group initially with Supes,Bats and Wonder Woman joining afterwards.

I'm confused.

[trustyside-kick]

I figured, cause afterall when Poseidon was killed by Triton, Orin went into the Underworld and rescued him. I was just wondering what the story to it was: like if someone rescued him and brought him back or what. I hope those issues explained that and I guess I'll have to stop by my local comic shop to ask the guys there.

[Harlekin]

If someone could help me out: I remember an old issue (I think Brave & The Bold, but it was a Batman related title either way) with Aquaman fighting Batman under the sea. Aquaman's grabbing Batman around the neck, and Bats' struggling for air.

Anyone have an idea of what I'm talking about?

I'm confused.

I read it as; Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Orin, J'Onn, Hal, Barry and Black Canary fought the Appellax aliens and all of them formed the Justice League of America - but with Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman taking on a part time role for a while (so the other members took on the full time running of it). Later on the Trinity then became full time members and took on the running of the League.

So Waid has seemingly merged JLA: Year One and the Silver Age founding of JLA with adding "part time" and Wonder Woman into the equation.

[Dirt Like Me]

Alright, here's my deal: I read a lot of comics when I was younger, and got away from it for a while but over the past few years I've started collecting again. For the sake of my wallet and my desire to not flunk out of school, I've limited myself to Batman and Batman-related stuff since I came back.

I think I'm ready to branch out again. I'm interested in Green Arrow because he seems to share a lot of traits with Batman, including the lack of powers that makes Bats so appealing to me. I'm planning on picking the Year One run when it starts, but I'd like to read some of the older story lines, too. I have no idea where to start, though. (Longbow Hunters sounded interesting, but again, I have no idea).

I was curious to know what you all recommend. I've been impressed with the base of knowledge that posters here have and I'd appreciate any advice you guys would care to offer.

Thanks a lot.

Dirt

[yenaled]

I say, start with Quiver. It was the first book from the newest volume explaining how Oliver came back to life. Continue on with that volume...

Quiver
Sounds of Violence
Archer's Quest
Straight Shooter
City Walls

and then whatever the other ones are called.

Longbow Hunters is GREAT but it is set before Ollie died and when he went kind of mental - was killing people etc. But it's a good read I just wouldn't start with it.

[Anubis]

Yen said all that needed to be said.

But I'll add this. If you like your heroes gritty and with no real powers, I recommend Manhunter.

[Wolfwood]

I just got done reading the trade for Infinite Crisis and I'm wondering about one little thing, I don't know if I missed this detail in the story or if it was said in another book, but how did Superboy-Prime escape from the place the Flashes had taken him?

Also are these trades worth picking up:

Villains United
The OMAC Project
The Rann-Thanagar War
Prelude to Infinite Crisis

And if you have any other books related to Infinite Crisis you'd like to recommend, please do so.

[trustyside-kick]

Day of Vengeance was awesome; highly recommend. Villains United was great too. OMAC Project was ok to me. I never got around to reading the other tie-ins really.

[Dr. Fate]

How old are Batman, Nightwing, Catwoman (Selina Kyle) and Barbara Gordon?

[The Leaguer]

:rolleyes:

[TheCorpulent1]

12. They're all 12. Crazy, huh?

[Anubis]

How old are Batman, Nightwing, Catwoman (Selina Kyle) and Barbara Gordon?

Late 30's, Late 20's, Early 30's, Early 30's.

[batnkevlar]

Barbara's older than Dick?

[Spike_x1]

Yes. That's not sarcasm. She is.

[trustyside-kick]

Dick can't be in his late 20s, cause he started out when he was a kid, and Bats supposabley took him in around age 29. Barbara is older, but that would make her late 20s, and Dick mid 20s. From my understanding she isn't too much older, but older.

[Kebab gud]

Dick (and Roy) are both about 25-26, and Babs is about 28-29 unless the age gap has been retconned by "Nightwing annual #2" where its stated that they where both 16 when they where on their first date

Batman is in his early40's by now (unless retconed)

[Darthphere]

Kebab, stay out of this thread.

[Anubis]

Shut the f**k up Kebab!!

This confused me as well. WTF? :huh:

[Anubis]

They never really said.

:csad: :cmad: :csad:

[incubat]

in birthright it's explained that as clark kent he tends to stay back and people just don't really notice him, but I agree...at least Lois should've noticed

[Fledermaus]

What are you answering?

[Darthphere]

in birthright it's explained that as clark kent he tends to stay back and people just don't really notice him, but I agree...at least Lois should've noticed

Yeah, good point.

:huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh:

[TheCorpulent1]

:csad: :cmad: :csad:
He's Superboy Prime. He's, like, mad strong and junk. Plus, he probably made them lose focus with his incessant whining.

[BrianWilly]

how did Superboy-Prime escape from the place the Flashes had taken him?It was revealed in the Bilson-Demeo run on the Flash that when he was imprisoned in the other world, Superboy-Prime stole an experimental powersuit modeled after the Anti-Monitor. Buffy only knows what the hell those people were doing making an experimental Anti-Monitor armor, but there you have it.

[TheCorpulent1]

I almost wish there were a story showing what they were making an Anti-Monitor wannabe armor for, but then I'd probably have to see Superboy Prime again, which would suck.

So wait, they were on another world? Not in the Speed Force? Double-you-tee-eff? :confused:

[The Leaguer]

It looked like they were on another world IN the Speed Force. In other words, Bilson and Demeo suck.

[incubat]

i have a question, how come no other superheroes went to help batman in gotham during the cataclysm? or war games?

[The Leaguer]

Because it was a Batman crossover.

[incubat]

still..it doesn't make sense, if his beloved city is falling apart...he could've looked for help...or they could've at least explained why he didn't ask for help

[Fledermaus]

Batman doesn't need any f#cking help.

[Mister J]

Gotham City had suffered the results of a magnitude 7.6 earthquake in the earlier Cataclysm storyline. Previous disasters, such as two separate plague outbreaks, caused many to want to write off Gotham completely. The U.S. Government gave a timeline. At the end, all bridges were destroyed and all known paths out of the island city were covered by the National Guard. The Justice League of America were forbidden by law from entering the city. They kept busy defeating outside threats to the city, along with other crises. The situation inside was left to Batman and his allies; Superman offered his help in the city, but Batman refused.
Let's not talk about War Games. :cmad:

[Fledermaus]

Yeah. War Games did suck large amounts of ass. But you gotta love No Man's Land if for no other reason than Batman telling Superman to f#ck off.

[Anubis]

Am I the only one who thinks the two dudes from Blades of Glory look a hell of a lot like the Classic Hawk and Dove?

[WompuM]

Damn, that is the funniest thing I have read since Hal Jordan seeing cowgirl the first time.

[TheCorpulent1]

still..it doesn't make sense, if his beloved city is falling apart...he could've looked for help...or they could've at least explained why he didn't ask for help

[incubat]

thx mister J and Corp

[Wolfwood]

Well, thanks for all your help on the last question. Now I have more!

In Infinite Crisis, why was the beetle in such a rush to get away from the Green Lanterns?

How come Earth-2 was never repopulated?

Is there a Green Lantern for every planet that has intelligent life? If so, did the Martians and Kryptonians ever have a Lantern?

And I'm still looking for your guy's thoughts on the Infinite Crisis related trades out there.

[Anubis]

Green Lantern's are assigned to a sector. Earth's sector is 2814, and there are hundreds of planets with intelligent and without intelligent life within each GL's sector. Kryptonian or Martian GL's? None. I believe they said Tomar Ray was the GL of the Kryptonian sector or something like that, and he wasn't able to save anybody. Though that may have been an elseworld or something. And the Guardians put the fear of fire into the Martians because they were too powerful, and were extrememly dangerous to the universe.

[TheCorpulent1]

The Blue Beetle's scarab was created by the Reach, a race of aliens who tried to conquer the universe a long time ago. The Green Lantern Corps beat the Reach back and the Guardians forged a truce with the Reach: if the Reach would quit conquering planets, they could travel the universe freely and trade with whichever planets they wanted. As a result, the Reach's sentient technology is pretty much afraid of Green Lanterns or anything associated with the Guardians and wants to lash out at them.

Tomar Re was the GL for Krypton's sector. He tried to save Krypton by fixing the planet's internal problems before it exploded, but he was blinded by a solar flare before he could. When his sight returned, the first thing he saw was Krypton exploding.

[BrianWilly]

How come Earth-2 was never repopulated?Several possible answers. But the main answer -- and one that was more fully alluded to in the Infinite Crisis tpb which has some slightly different text at certain points than the original issues -- is that Earth-2 is still out there, somewhere. Even Alex Luthor couldn't see it, and we're led to believe it's where Superman-2, Lois-2, and Wonder Woman-2 went by the end of the series.

Really? What text was changed?

I thought the Earth 2 Supes and Lois died... :huh:

[BrianWilly]

http://everydayislikewednesday.blogspot.com/search/label/infinite%20crisis

IC#5
Page 149: Dialgoue change. Returning multiverse clue! Earth-Two Lois is dying, Earth-Two Superman says to her, “I can’t be another survivor of a dead world. Not without you.”

In the original series he responds, “With all your powers, with everything you saw and did… you still never…”

But in the trade she responds, “I see the truth now, Clark. A truth even Alexander didn’t see… there’s something else out there…out there…”

On the one hand, this could just be a clarification of what she was going to say (she never finishes her thought in the original series), but it adds a rather significant amount of meaning. Originally she didn’t say anything that could be read as a hint to the multiverse’s existence, now she does.

Page 156: Dialogue change. Multiverse Clue #2! In the original series, Earth-Two Wonder Woman says, “But now that I’ve left Olympus, the gods’ blessings are fading. Soon I’ll no longer exist.”

In the trade that line becomes, “But now that I’ve left Olympus, the gods’ blessings to keep me here are fading. I’m being pulled…somewhere.”
IC#6Page182: Diaglouge changes. In the sixth and seventh panels, the exchange between Psycho-Pirate and Alexander Luthor has been pretty dramatically changed.

Originally, Psycho-Pirate said, “I can feel them. Phantom beings fom the fabric of Earth-One and Earth-Two, pulled from their restful peace, reborn in pain and given essence-- --then destroyed. Billions at a time.”

To which Luthor replies, “ I planted this garden, Psycho-Pirate. I have every right to tend it.

In the trade, Pscyho-Pirate instead says, “I can feel phantom beings pulled from the fabrics of the multiverse, recreated and destroyed. For some reason Earth-Two remains vacant. Why when billions of other beings appear across the multiverse like ghosts. Reborn… …then destroyed.”

Luthor responds, “The anomalies of Earth-Two are not my concern. Finding the perfect earth is.”
IC#6Page 240: Dialogue added. More Multiverse-related changes! Earth-Two Superman is dying after the fight with Superboy-Prime, and Power Girl leans over him, while he says his last words to her. In the original series, there are two silent panels on the page. In panel seven, we see Superman-2’s
eyes half-closing, and then, in panel eight,an image of a glowing star he seems to be focusing on.

In the trade, more last words are added to these two panels. Superman says “…one day you’ll see…they’re still out there…”

[Wolfwood]

Ah interesting, pretty vague, but it does suggest something might be out there.

Corp, does that information about the Blue Beetle come from the new series or is that old info? Also, if you read the new series is it any good?

Thanks for all your answers guys, I felt I've learn a lot from all of you and for now I'm all out of stupid questions.

[Kebab gud]

Corp, does that information about the Blue Beetle come from the new series or is that old info? Also, if you read the new series is it any good?


all that info has come out in the last 2-3 issues of Blue Beetle
and the new series is goooood

[TheCorpulent1]

Yes, they're from pretty recent issues of the new series, and the new series is indeed good. It was a bit slow starting out, but it's gotten a lot better.

[yenaled]

The new series is great and it's starting to get word of mouth now which is good for the longevity of the title.

[Harlekin]

http://www.comictreadmill.com/CTMBlogarchives/2006Images/BB114Cover.jpg

Is it that one? (Brave & Bold 114 1974)
I'm afraid it's not (thanks for the effort though). They're really in the centre of the cover, and there are no other stories. Seems like it would be an eighties story, with some of the darker artists. It could be that story, and Dutch translators decided to pick a picture from the story itself to throw onto the cover, but I doubt it.

[incubat]

can anybody please tell what batman was talking about when he mentioned superman trying to take over the world during no man's land? (he mentioned it during clark's second visit)

[Docker2.0]

Sup peeps? I'm not a DC guy but I follow it "to a degree." I know that Flash had recently been upgraded to be one with the speedforce, didn't Green Lantern become one with the GL home world? Put these 2 onto the JLA with all powerful Supes, WW, MM, and the all powerful Batman, an upgraded Steel with his Darkseid armor and you have basically an unbeatable team. my question is, since Darkseid is beaten by Supes alone on a regular basis now, what villians in the DC universe can really challenge them? Mesmero? no. The Key? no. Is there any villians that can defeat the JLA?

[Anubis]

Of course not. They're superheroes. They never really lose.

With your far too powered up group, i'd say they'd still have trouble with Despero, an army of white Martians, one of those other lost dark war machines like Meggodon, the Red King, or Mordru. To tell you the truth, anybody with a good plan. Power isn't everything.

[Spike_x1]

Was it originally conceived that Darkseid wasn't affected by COIE's retcon? I know that Firestorm's titles back in those days really made it seem that way, whatwith Darkseid specifically remembering the Pre-Crisis Parasite and referencing the folds in reality and how some characters never died, never lived, or never changed at all.

Anyway, was this just isolated to Darkseid's appearances in Firestorm, or was he always supposed to have been unaffected by COIE, and over the years, writers just simply forgot that that was the original intention?

[BrianWilly]

Mesmero? no. The Key? no. Is there any villians that can defeat the JLA?Well, Black Adam apparently. Though he is deShazam'd at the moment.

Steel is no longer wearing the Entropy Aegis, and Kyle-as-Ion isn't remotely as powerful as he was before (plus he's not on the JLA at the moment). But I see what you're saying.

As Anubis said, any single White Martian is a major danger to the JLA, much less an army of them. To add to that...the Martian Manhunter, if he ever turns evil again a la Fernus, is capable of taking down the entire JLA more or less effortlessly. He's nearly as powerful as Superman, can shapeshift, can turn invisible or intangible or both, is essentially the single most powerful telepath in the DCU...and worst of all, unlike the White Martians he has no weakness to fire when he is Fernus.

Any villains "team" made up of reasonably powerful villains together would be a tough battle, obviously. If Bizarro, Sinestro, Zoom, Amazo, Despero, Dr. Light, and Doomsday all got in the same room together...well, it would be a close battle.

Anyway, was this just isolated to Darkseid's appearances in Firestorm, or was he always supposed to have been unaffected by COIE, and over the years, writers just simply forgot that that was the original intention?Yes, I believe the original intention was that Apokolips was completely unaffected by CoIE at all, because it exist on a different vibrational whatsis. I don't know if every writer has remembered that, but that was the original canon.

If you read the Infinite Crisis Secret Files, you'll notice Alex Luthor mentioning that there were actually two places that he could have taken them (Superman-2, Lois-2, and Superboy-Prime) at the end of CoIE: the crystal "heaven" that they went to, or Apokolips. Since Apokolips looked like hell (literally), he didn't take them there.

The irony, of course, is that -- since Apokolips was still connected to the remaining Earth-1 -- if Alex had taken them all there they could've been a part of this new Earth right from the beginning.

[Spike_x1]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking for years, but then I wondered why Darkseid's level of power (which was higher than Pre-Crisis Superman's) is actually more or less equal to modern Superman's level if the New Gods were never supposed to have been affected. So it was just the writers being incredibly inconsistent, then?

And that raises another question: Wouldn't New Genesis be on the same vibrational frequency as Apokolips? If so, why couldn't Alex take the survivors of COIE there?

[trustyside-kick]

This is one of the reasons why DC needs to stop screwing around with time travel and altering realty ****.

[Anubis]

I disagree.

[trustyside-kick]

You like them constantly changing stuff? If there's anything I do like about Marvel aside from DD and Spidey it's that they rarely change things so drastically. No problem with a time traveling story or anything but when it creates too many changes to count that only ends in the reader's confusion, that's what I don't like.

[Anubis]

You like them constantly changing stuff?

They do that anyway. You don't need a multiverse to change s**t for no reason.

Yeah, they just change s**t and ignore everything that came before it. Hello, Clone Saga? The new Black Panther Origin? The influence of the multiverse changes nothing.

[incubat]

This is one of the reasons why DC needs to stop screwing around with time travel and altering realty ****.

maybe they should have another crisis to recon all of this... you'd figure there'd be some list of stuff writers have to remember, like a guide book...or maybe they should just do some freaking research before they start writing away

[sinewave]

do kryptonians have fingerprints and if so, are they in a similar "swirl" pattern like humans?

[Silicon Surfer]

do kryptonians have fingerprints and if so, are they in a similar "swirl" pattern like humans?

Nah, they're barcoded.

[incubat]

actually I think they are little versions of famous paintings

[sinewave]

ask a stupid question...

[Anubis]

...wake up butt naked next to a camel.

[trustyside-kick]

I wasn't an actual fan of comics when these events took place. I was a fan of the DCU characters but I knew very little about anyone outside the so called "Bat Family".

I know little about the Charlton characters but from my understanding these are the ones taken into the DCU eventually:

- The Question
- Blue Beetle
- Judomaster
- Nightshade
- Peacemaker
- Captain Atom

However, I hear that how a lot of the Charlton characters have been killed off. Aside from The Question and Blue Beetle (cause I know how they died), how did the other characters die and which remain? If I missed any of his characters that were brought into the DCU, please mention them as well.

[Anubis]

Judo Master got his back broken by Bane during Infinite Crisis. Nightshade's with the Shadowpact. Captain Atom is now Monarch, and Peacemaker's dead also. How he died? I don't know. Check Wikipedia.

[yenaled]

Peacemaker is in Blue Beetle all the time. He's a major supporting character in it. Peter Cannon (Thunderbolt) is still alive but I don't think he has shown up in comics for over 10 years.

[TheCorpulent1]

Judomaster's son is the Black King's Knight in Checkmate.

I have a potentially stupid question: Now that the Multiverse is back, I'm kind of wondering about its structure. We saw in Ion that other Earths' characters can travel to New Earth, and we saw that Captain Atom now has the ability to travel to at least Wildstorm's Earth-50 via the Bleed. So I'm wondering if the Bleed is now the official space between dimensions in the DC universe, as it used to be for the Wildstorm universe. If it is, that's pretty cool. I always liked the concept of the Bleed.

[BrianWilly]

It does seem to be the case, doesn't it? Ion has already stumbled more or less unintentionally onto the "method" of transport, and it's the only place that the Monitors can't, uh, Monitor.

They might come up with another way too, though. Just based off my wild precognitive precognitions, I don't think Johns will be using the Bleed for Booster Gold's series. Not Silvery Age enough for him:o.

[Wolfwood]

I was gonna ask in the Flash thread, but I feel more comfortable asking it here. :o Plus I bet it's been asked before, but the search feature aint doing crap for me, so here I am in the stupid question thread.

I'm starting to take an interest in the Flash after Infinite Crisis ( I don't know why, I just am.) What are some good stories I should read?

[batnkevlar]

You're taking an interest in Bart?

The best storylines of Barts is the Impulse, Young Justice, and the Teen Titans (v3) series...

[CLARKY]

I do have a stupid dc question ... again :
I have the issue #4 of Wonderwoman called "who is Wonderwoman? part 4/5" and I have issue #5 and it is a new story line. So my stupid question is : where is the part 5/5 of "who is Wonderwoman?" I don't have the end of the story. It stopped at a whole double page showing all the rogues facing Wonderwoman. What next ?

[sethcohen]

they moved the final issue of the story to an annual that has yet to be released in order to get the book back on track and on a monthly schedule again

[Anubis]

What batnkevlar said, plus issues 9-11 of the current Flash run. Don't even bother with the first eight, they will make your testicles bleed.

[sethcohen]

come on! you mean you didnt like "the griffin?!"

[CLARKY]

they moved the final issue of the story to an annual that has yet to be released in order to get the book back on track and on a monthly schedule again

WTF !?! anyway, ok,thanks for the info.

[Anubis]

Not as much as you did apparently. And you can keep that issue I loaned you. I really don't need any more comics in my collection with the pages stuck together. :o

[sethcohen]

um.... right... not sure where you were going with that one...

[Wolfwood]

What batnkevlar said, plus issues 9-11 of the current Flash run. Don't even bother with the first eight, they will make your testicles bleed.

Alrighty, I'll use those for a jumping on point. What about other Flash stories? Could be anything from Barry to Wally.

[batnkevlar]

Aww man, any of the Flash run is great... also, for a good historical outlook on Barry, read The Life Story of the Flash by Iris Allen...

[Anubis]

Yeah, the best stuff came from the Waid and Goeff Johns runs. Return of Barry Allen, Born to Run, Terminal Velocity, Dead heat, Race Against Time, Blood will Run, Rogues, Crossfire, Blitz, Ignition, The Secret of Barry Allen (think that's the name), and Rogue War.

[Hush]

Please dont scold me guys but is there anywayi can find all the covers that Micheal Turner has done for DC, on the internet?

[Anubis]

Try his website. Or Comic Art community.

[Hush]

His IC covers were probably his best work.

[TheCorpulent1]

His Civil War covers were better than his IC ones, in my opinion. The cover with Spider-Man over Cap's shield was a really interesting concept that managed to be only slightly marred by Turner's utter inability to draw a human figure.

Also, Wolfwood, for my money, Dead Heat is the greatest Flash story ever from a powers perspective, and Blitz is one of the, if not the, best from a character perspective.

[Wolfwood]

Thanks a lot guys, I'm gonna start hunting those books down on Amazon. :up:

[gkokujin]

okay question...

wtf is up with mistermind being a dimension devouring beast now?

he was a effing CATERPILLAR.

[Kebab gud]

and he evolved...

[bulok]

Just a question, has Tim ever "done the do" ? We know Conner and Cassy did the nasty over at the Kent farm and I'm willing to bet Bart has too.

Now Robin has had his fair chances but I don't think he's ever actuall, you know, hit 3rd base. Heck I don't think he's ever gotten to 2nd. Can anyone confirm this statement?

[yenaled]

He was going out with Spoiler for a long time.

Teenagers have sex.

I presume he has.

[incubat]

that's not neceserilly true...

[Fledermaus]

He's a virgin. And he'll probably stay one for awhile. Hell, Dick didn't get any ass until he left the cave and joined the Titans. Can you imagine Starfire taking your virginity? Emphasize the 'taking'.

[batnkevlar]

Um, third base isn't sex, home base is... third base is oral...

[Anubis]

Or second base, depending on where you live.

[bulok]

He was going out with Spoiler for a long time.

Teenagers have sex.

I presume he has.

She was also pregnant for the most part while the two were dating, and Timmy was shocked when he found out she was because they had never...

[batnkevlar]

Or second base, depending on where you live.

Then that defeats the purpose of comparing relationship stages to baseball bases... cuz if oral isn't third base, then what is? And then what's home?

[CConn]

The shocker's first, oral's second, vaginal is third, double anal's home.

[Anubis]

You see, CConn understands, Why don't you?

[SKSpawn]

I have a couple concerning Zero Hour:

In Zero Hour, Waverider says that Kyle Rayner is dead and gone, so how did he come back?

Also, what was the point of it, really? Crisis took away the Multiverse and Zero Hour was trying to set right time, or something, but it seemed as though all they did was take away from the continuity of the universe :huh:

Here you go. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Hour_%28comics%29)

[TheCaptain22555]

Why isn't DC as heavily promoted as Marvel?

[Anubis]

It is.

[Spike_x1]

Well, I finally got my question from a couple months back "answered." (http://www.supermanhomepage.com/inter-action/inter-action.php?topic=ask-editor/ask-matt) It's the very first one on the list. Truthfully, I'm not satisfied with that response since I still don't know DC's motivation behind altering continuity again, other than just giving an excuse to hemorrhage Silver Age characterizations (Matt seems to go back and forth on that a few times), but I respect the guy for trying to answer it as best he could.

There are some other good questions there, too.

[Anubis]

Because they can.

What exactly have they changed about Supes? I know that apparently he was a Legionnaire again, and he spent time as Superboy (minus the costume, which makes it kinda like Smallville. Which should suck but, doesn't, for some reason.) along with Mon El. All of which are good additions, if you ask me. Haven't been reading Action, so I don't know what else they've tossed in. Could somebody please enlighten me?

[Delete]

They have magic, and alien technology, and people from the future so why can't anyone figure out how to get Barbara Gordon walking again?

[BrianWilly]

They...sort of...did. She got infected by a motherbox or something and then she was able to move her toes.

But it really is one of those things where they never really explain why and the reader has to make up reasons and jump through hoops of disbelief-suspension and all that. She works great as her current character, no one's in a hurry to fix her legs.

[TheCorpulent1]

I wouldn't mind if she fixed her legs, so long as she kept being Oracle. In fact, that would make a pretty great arc if handled correctly, I think: Babs' regaining the use of her legs and instantly being tempted to reclaim the role of Batgirl but ultimately realizing that she's happier and more valuable as Oracle. It'd make the Oracle persona so much stronger because it'd be her choice rather than the lemonade she made from her shattered spine's lemons.

[incubat]

yeah, that's actually a pretty a good idea.

I always wondered why they didn't save more people with that tecnology or magic, like when supes died...didn't anybody think of throwing him into a lazarus pit? I remember speedy asking the titans after breaking into one of lex's lab to get medicine for connor, if they'd do the same for when her aids got more serious on her, and everybody said they'd do everything possible to save her or somethin like that...can't they cure aids? I mean Delete has a point, they have alien resources and magic and everything. Worst case scenario, again, they throw her into a lazarus pit...I know that after faling in one gos crazy and all... but if you're going to live, it doesn't seem that bad

[trustyside-kick]

The Lazarus pit restores the dying, not the already dead last time I checked. So the Supes thing wouldn't have worked unless they rushed him over to one as he lay dying after the Doomsday fight.

[incubat]

I think it also brings the dead back. In Tower of Babel Ra's wanted to put Batman's parents in them to bring them back

[Kebab gud]

The big problem with the pits are that back then.. a pit could only be used once.. and noone other then Ra's and his people know what too put in them to make them work..


bur when did speedy ever say that stuff? i dont remember her saying anyting about her condission when the broke into Luthor's lab

[incubat]

I don't remember the exact issue... I'll have to look it up. But it was after they broke in.

[BrianWilly]

She did. It was in Robin #146

"It's just that, seeing Superboy's condition, I couldn't help wondering what my time will be like. And then, I felt guilty for being so self-absorbed. We're doing so much to save Conner and -- are you guys also going to move heaven and Earth for me?"

[ToddIsDead]

Alright, stupid question: Was All Star Batman and Robin #5 indeed the worst comic ever written, or is it merely in the top 10 worst comics ever written?

[Anubis]

I've been told that if you don't like it, then you may be reading it wrong. But I would know.

[ToddIsDead]

So it's supposed to be really bad? Kind of like Grindhouse? Miller isn't completely inept? I'm so confused. :(

[Fledermaus]

I've never seen Grindhouse, but if you're reading All-Star Batman and Robin looking for a 'definitive' Batman and Robin origin-type story, you're a f#cking moron. If, however, you're wanting to read a silly, funny, mysogonistic, and overly repetitive Bat-story, buy it and buy it now.

[Anubis]

Like I said, you're probably reading it wrong. If you're expecting a serious Batman, then you probably shouldn't be reading Allstar B & R. Try weed. I'm told it helps.

[Mee]

I was expecting my eyes to explode from the awesome when I got the first issue. That didn't happen. :(

Now I just think of it as a nice comedy with very pretty pictures. :huh: :up:

[JTStarkiller]

Will there be a TPB or hardcover of Justice containing all 12 issues, or should I get the ones that are out now with 4 each?

[Anubis]

Wait for the inevitable Absolute edition.

[sojazu]

In Justice, doesn't Aquaman regrow part of his brain sub-consciously? Wouldn't that imply that technically his hand he lost oh so long ago should've regrowned as well? Or would the logic behind that be that since he convered it with that metal plate and than slapped on the hook there was never time for it to grow back? Little confused here.

Then again, is Justice in continuity? I assumed that if it was in continuity it was obviously set in an older time period of the DCU. Awesome story though, but was thinking about that.

[TheCorpulent1]

It's not in continuity.

[trustyside-kick]

While it will make me cry when I look over at my wallet sometimes, I am debating about picking up two more DC titles possibly. But I'm picky and a little wierd when doing such a thing, but I do not plan to go into so much detail in this thread...at least maybe not yet.

1) So, how solid is Birds of Prey at the moment and how solid has it been? It is highly recommended? Good? Okay? Meh? Bad?

2) I read Day of Vengeance and absolutely loved it. I don't have too much doubt in my mind, but I still feel compelled to ask before I make a "yes" or "no" decision for this title. How has the Shadowpact title been so far? Highly recommended? Good? Okay? Meh? Bad?

[Anubis]

I dropped Shadowpact after issue two. Thought it sucked. There are people that still read it, so, I'm sure they'll chime in. If not, then I guess I'm not alone in thinking it sucks.

BOP is about to get a change of creative team. The guy that writes Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane, which is supposed to be really good. I've loved BOP, but it's a new team, so jump on at your own risk. I will be.

[ToddIsDead]

I really like Shadowpact. It's not life-changingly good or anything, but I think it's a pretty solid book.

I've heard of how Aquaman's telepathic powers expanded beyond sea life, but could any of you tell me which title and issue this occurs? I'm assuming a JLA title since wikipedia mentions him doing this with Martian Manhunter or something. Any JLA stories or something showing Aquaman do this?

Shadowpact is great. It's a really pragmatic approach to magical characters, which is unique but I love it. And it's got Zauriel, so that rules.

There are other instances, such as when Aquaman gave a White Martian a seizure during their first invasion, way back in Morrison's JLA run.

Basically, the idea is that his telepathy will work -- if only on a rudimentary scale -- on anything with a brain evolving from marine life.

At the moment, he's not bad. Last time we saw him he was cruising the Bleed, going to different alternate worlds and such. Seemed like he wasn't "evil" but he was probably planning something, and chances are it's gonna bring him into conflict with the Monitors. So, the Answer is, it remains to be seen.

Actually, last time we saw him was this week in Countdown, and the panel was a bit too sinister for my tastes. I really hope DC's not making him evil. :(

Um... How far removed, I mean theoretically everything evolves from sea life.

[BrianWilly]

Exactly! So technically, unless you're from a planet where life evolved from flying insects or whatever, Aquaman can exert some manner of mental influence on you. Nothing like mind-control or whatever, just something basic like giving people headaches. Which raises his coolness just a bit.

[trustyside-kick]

He can read your thoughts, stop body functions, and give seizures and such.

But usually he'll just kick you in the face.

[Artistsean]

I just started reading 52, in I think issue three cops in Gothem find the body of Lex Luther dead. But it turns out it was not their Earth's Lex Luther.
Lex tells them that it was a different universe's Lex and that he was causing trouble the whole time while the real Lex was trapped in the other Universe.
So was any of that true, or is this Alexander Luther from Crisis (who was killed by the Joker)? And then Lex shaved him and blaimed him for all his evil doings?

[BrianWilly]

Yes, that is Alexander Luthor. Luthor just used him as a complete scapegoat for every bad thing he's ever done.

Not many people believe him, obviously, but there's no way to prove him wrong. Technically, Alex Luthor was responsible for the Crisis.

Try Jason Todd

[Zoken]

Thing is I'm thinking of expanding my DC to Marvel group, mainly in Chicago with Bat-Man inspiring others to stand up and do something.

a cabal of couragous and honest cops including Gordon, O'Harra, Montoya, and Bullock set up "The Bat-Signal", a purple flare they can put up anywhere to summon other honest cops, however it's first use brings out the Bat-Man, which inspires them to use it in case they need his back up (Guy is too well protected by corruption).

A group called the "Birds of Prey", including Nightwing (Dick Grayson), Bat-Girl (Barbara Gordon), and Robin (Tim Drake), actively protecting a small run down section (Ala Hells Kitchen). The only thing these kids have in common is that they all grew up in a "Wayne House", highly funded orphanages where the children are taught martial arts along with their other lessons, set up by Bruce Wayne himself.

The vigilante life style is being taken to extremes by "Huntress", a woman going around murdering organized crime members. while she rarely hits a boss, she is very good at neutralizing leiutenants. She is Helena Bertinelli, the daughter of a highly powered crime bosses that was murdered in front of her eyes. she was not close with her father, but she was very close with her mother. It is her mother's death she avenges, and her father that she blames. Helena's one line is that she does not cause collateral damage. she takes only the lives of criminals.

documenting all of this is a lonely Police detective who gets zero respect from his colleagues. He has a genius level I.Q. but his seen as a paranoid, delusional, conspiracy-nut. Vic Sage doesn't care. Some think he's sociopatic. They may be right. But the fact is when people are stuck on a case, when their leads have dried up, they talk to him. He earned himself a nick name due to his constant admonishments for his colleague's reluctancy to ask him for help: "If you want the answer, you have to ask The Question."

[WolfCypher]

Has Wildcat's son appeared again ever since his introduction in that Vandall Savage arc of JSA months ago? If so, what's he been up to?

[batnkevlar]

Well, after that Vandal Savage arc, it was the Lightning Saga, and I don't think he appeared in that... now that the Lightning Saga is over, he's in the next issue, i think fighting his dad...

[Knives122]

The only time I remember seeing him during the lightning saga was when they were in the gorilla city.

[trustyside-kick]

Wildcat's son...Wildcat...has made appearances in both JLA and JSA issues of Lightning War...but like most of the characters he is there for the sake of being there.

Really, with the way they ended it and all it could've just been a damn JLA story. The JSA people aside from Mister Terrffic and I guess Powergirl did nothing. I'm not counting Starman obviously because technically he is part of the LOSH.

The other JSA people did stuff, true...but the most important parts like the end were basically JLA people.

[Anubis]

Because Starman was involved, the JSA's involvement was imminent. So that's why there was a crossover.

[trustyside-kick]

Yea, I know...but it did feel that aside from that there was little point for the whole JSA to be involved. Not saying the arc was terrible...but I did enjoy the JSA arc previous to that more.

They don't always cover each day of the week. So if something wasn't mentioned, I wouldn't worry about it. Normally they do like 2-4 days of the actual week if my memory serves me right.

[Darthphere]

Hooked up.

[Dope Nose]

They don't always cover each day of the week. So if something wasn't mentioned, I wouldn't worry about it. Normally they do like 2-4 days of the actual week if my memory serves me right.

otherwise the series would be called 365.
