52 Is Killing DC

[Darthphere]

As a criminal justice major, all of you be quiet, im on vacation.

Im actually enjoying 52, but some of these storylines are just painful. Like the Steel storyline, does anybody care at this point? And it seems like theyre going to drag some of these stroyline all 52 issues, like the Montoya and Question sotryline, we already know Intergang is still around OYL so where that ends up, who knows. But overall 52 has been good and some of your arguments are flawed.

Nightwing sucks because Dan Didio was going to kill Nightwing because he ddint like him. The one day someone told him that Nightwing is quite possibly DC's most popular character among comic book fans and they scrambled and got hack Bruce Jones to write it.

Flash sucks because DC thought putting the writers of a 10 year old failed tv show was an excellent choice to write the Flash.

GL sucks because Jonhs cant have Hal Jordan with a specik of dirt on him, hes a perfect angel and extremely boring, and no GAH, Hal is not dealing with anything so you can take your argument somewhere else.

uhh yeah he is. stop being a ****ing idiot about it.

uhh yeah he is. stop being a ****ing idiot about it.

How is he dealing with it, himself. Not the other GL's, he himself dealing with it? Tell me.

Here's the URL I looked at before I wrote that response about the use of the word.

http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/murder

It starts out with this sentence:

"murder n. the killing of a human being by a sane person, with intent, malice aforethought (prior intention to kill the particular victim or anyone who gets in the way), and with no legal excuse or authority."

However! After you challenged me on this, I checked an online dictionary and found the following:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/murder

"murder. n. 1. The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice."

So it appears that I was using the legal definition, and you were using what we might call the broader, "casual conversation" definition. (Or, in other words, I guess I was wrong to challenge the use of the word "murder" in describing Hal's actions, unless it's being used as a formal charge against him in a court of law, in which he would presumably beat the rap if he could convince the judge of the veracity of his Parallax defense?)

I wasn't using it in the context of our legal system. If someone kills someone else, it's murder. Hal killed those other Lanterns, ergo it's murder. I'm kind of too tired to argue the semantics in circles right now, so that's all I've got to contribute on the point.

I think if there is a problem with DC, it isnt because of 52, its Didio's ham hands on everything.

 

[onceasaint]

Ham hands... man thatd be cool...

I think if there is a problem with DC, it isnt because of 52, its Didio's ham hands on everything.

Yeah, I thought Didio was doing a great job until I realized that all of the good stuff from IC and leading up to it were really just the means to getting his ******ed views published.

I'm not much of a DC guy but I don't really see how an interesting weekly series like this could be a "bad" thing.

If you had more valid reasons for why it's killing DC, I'd back you a little. But Nightwing and The Flash really have nothing to do with 52.

You want to know the reason Nightwing blows beyond all reason? Because they had planned on KILLING Dick Grayson. And a lot of the writers and artists convinced the head honchos otherwise, so they really didn't have a concrete plan for the character like they have with the others. And I wouldn't worry too much about Nightwing considering that on # 125 Marv Wolfman takes over on the writing duties and Dan Jurgens does the artwork. It'll be in good hands.

The Flash, well...that's up for a debate. But it'd take a HELL of a creative team to follow Johns/Porter. Johns did a lot of great things with the Flash character, his rogues, and Wally West...that many fans seem to be upset that after that great run suddenly Wally is vanished and now Bart Allen is taking over the mantle of the Flash. That is a good debate for Flash fans, but I don't see what this has to do with 52 killing DC.

If anything DC has sparked more interest in their characters and company than ever before. If it wasn't for 52 I wouldn't have any type of interest in The Question, Montoya, Elongated Man, Booster Gold, etc, etc, etc. So, no...it's not killing the company, it's breathing new life into it...and being mistaken for dying because a couple titles aren't doing that great. Compared to everything else kicking your ass from left to right.

 

[Apprentice]

really? well DC seems to think it's a huge hit and is already trying to think of a way they might be able to keep it going past issue 52

Ugh. They keep it on after issue #52, it'll be awful. The whole point of the series is that it takes place in the space of a year. Loving the title so far, though. If anything, it's strengthening DC.

 

[Shawkur]

If they do another series, maybe it'll be what all the main characters that survive 52 where doing during OYL.

 

[onceasaint]

I want a comic about what Alfred does around the house while Bruce is on adventures.

Or maybe a weekly comic about why Jim Gordon has trouble peeing these days...

[Anubis]

lol

 

[onceasaint]

The Hype is like a magical fun land for me, I mention some random obscure thing and a few minutes later theres a picture or a link posted. Its great!

 

[Darthphere]

I just made that like 10 minutes ago.

 

[onceasaint]

And the world thanks you for that... -sniff-

 

[TheCorpulent1]

"Alfred Pennyworth... seeeecrets"

 

[onceasaint]

Light 'em up Alfie!!

 

[Darthphere]

Im still waiting for GAH's response.

 

[The Leaguer]

I'll give it for you.

GAH: "I don't give a crap!"

 

[Darthphere]

I'll give it for you.

GAH: "I don't give a damn!"

Fixed.

 

[The Leaguer]

Opps, I left out "Hal Jordan rules!"

 

[Elijya]

I don't think the intent is to keep it going with issue #53, but rather to come up with another weekly series, possibly one that also moves in real-time. They wouldn't need to even keep the same main characters

 

[Darthphere]

They said, it would probably be bi-weekly.
