DC Relaunching Everything?

[Man of Tomorrow]

So hold on? This is only a reboot of the MAIN continuity right?

Will the other Earths still remain?

Will Superman Earth One, Young Justice and all the others continue?

 

[Tron Bonne]

Well, it's debatable if the Earth One graphic novels are actually the Earth One in the 52 multiverse, but yeah, this isn't going to effect that stuff.

 

[Mr. Earle]

Cyborg looks like he merged with Doomsday. Honestly, I don't care at all for any of the redesigns. Mainly because of the ugly ass seams. I don't understand this trend

Do you remember Eve from Wall-E or the animal armours in We3 (just google it and then go buy and read it)? That's how he should have looked. Its the modern i-pod kind of look.

 

[Stallion9979]

no one knows...but DC did its job...its got everyone in the industry checking them out and all kinds of hype (forgive the pun lol)...they found a way to make themselves talked about and thats what PR is all about...

its like the old saying...any publicity is good publicity...

 

[Stallion9979]

I mean they revamped Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman's costumes quite a few times even though the are some of the most iconic looks of all time and a B-lister like Cyborg still looks like he walked out of the 70's???

 

[Anubis]

Well, he looks like he walked out of the 90's now.

 

[Pyro Man]

Presumably its just the main continuity. Geoff Johns has stressed that the Flashpoint story is happening on the main DC earth and presumably these continuity changes probably result from the universe not being set completely back to normal at the end of Flashpoint.

 

[kguillou]

Yeah, thats true. You'd think a guy who's half-cyborg would look really badass.

Yeah, but the question is ultimately this: Will internet buzz really translate to hard sells on a longterm basis?

 

[Anubis]

You can't be half-cyborg. You mean half-robot, which would make him a cyborg.

 

[kguillou]

You think your smarter than me with your college education boy?! t:

 

[Stallion9979]

Sincerely doubtful...bad writing is bad writing...you can gloss it up and wrap a shiny new number 1 on the cover all you want but if we still get the same mediocre writing that lead to this revamp then its gonna be the same result...

Fresh takes are what's needed...not rehashing and minor tweaking...people don't want leftovers they want something new...the biggest problem we as fans have is that we demand change but then dump all over it once we get it because its not the change we wanted...

Everything that happens in DC comics is in the multiverse (somewhere)
But they are rebooting earth-0 (New Earth) so the rest shouldn't be affected.

 

[Anubis]

Who cares?

No really. There's no designated place/earth for All Star Superman, Superman: Secret Identity, and that last Elseworlds that had the whole El family come to Earth, for instance.

All-Star Superman probably fits on the same earth as All-Star Batman, which is the same earth as most Frank Miller Stories, Earth-31.

What exactly did they change to Batman

Because I don't see any changes besides his gaunlets being spikeless

Same goes for Mr.Curry

 

[Tron Bonne]

The two All Star books didn't have any real connection canon wise.

No oval

His suit is more armor-y.

In yesterday’s Flashposts, Bleeding Cool posted a piece about a new OMAC #1, noting that there was a piece of art by Scott Kolins floating about to that effect. Well it turns out that’s true. But the creative team on the book? Co-publisher Dan DiDio and Keith Giffen.

[Tron Bonne]

I wonder if that's One-Man Army Corps, the cyborgs or both.

 

[louiebling$]

No oval

Yea but its not like anything "new" he was rocking that Style Bat Symbol before he croaked in FC

 

[Tron Bonne]

I know, but it was something wonderful and pure. And it's not there anymore

Ehh...I guess.....I miss the old Gauntlets
