DC to "Rebirth" in June - Part 1

[nyyarod]

So the last page of Batman #24 leaked and um, anyone else seen it? Because WOW.

 

[nyyarod]

So did the Lazarus Contract piss anyone else off ? I'm not gonna post any spoilers but geez!!! I think I can safely say these things without spoiling it

1. OG Wally and Damian's characterization. It was a huge disservice to the characters and their fans . Damian was a little prick when he was first introduced but I think he has managed to grow as a character and become way more likeable . OG Wally coming back was what Flash fans have been wanting since the New 52 came about . He carried the flash legacy on his shoulders for years , he is fun , relatable , and for many people he is The Flash .

2. Basically just used the Judas Contract angle to sell this book

3. Nightwing , Robin, Wally , and NuWally were basically the only characters with anything to do . The rest of the Titans and Teen Titans were wallpaper

4. Few plot holes that made zero ... zero sense

5. Disrespect to OG Wally .... felt that needed saying again

I'm still annoyed that they are TWO Wallys.

So the last page of Batman #24 leaked and um, anyone else seen it? Because WOW.

Yeah, came across it...well seems like for the first time in a long time, i will drop Batman.
I wasnt really into the current batman run to begin with, so its not that hard for me to drop it.

Spoiler

Im okay with Batcat, but its not the same as Lois/Clark, i like it more if it leaves the door open and if its more on/off relationship.
Also im a A+ Wonderbat shipper...so there is that.t:

In general im not enjoying Kings run to the extend it could be, he wastes a lot of potential imo.

Either way, it will be undone in a couple of months either way, so its not that big of a deal to me.

Spoiler

I'm a Batcat fan but i'm conflicted about it LOL On one hand it's big character development for Bruce and on the other hand, it feels forced because of the whole Button story line.

I dunno, King has been hit or miss for me. I'm pretty sure that Selina is going to say no but i'll read it and see.

Spoiler

Every Batcat shipper is my enemyt:... XD
No, im okay with it occasionaly.

Yeah, it feels really a bit forced because you get the feeling that its all just because of "his" fathers words and to add more drama to the button storyline.
If she says yes, i could see them kill her off or so for the sake of the story...the whole thing with the possibility of Bruce settling down feels like something is bound to happen to create angst.

King is imo all over the place, some is good, some is bad.
But hey, no writer is perfect.

We will see how this all unfolds

FUNNY because I love SuperWonder LOL

But yeah, I agree. I think she's going to say no and cause more angst LOL Or she'll say yes but they'll never make it down the aisle because Bruce will stop this whole 'don't be Batman' crap and realize that he can't go down that path. And Selina just doesn't seem like she's ready to settle down ANYTIME soon.

True. I'm going to reserve judgment until I read the actual issue

Spoiler

Lol, we both are really on opposite sides here...because i dislike SuperWonder so much.

It will be interesting to see how King handles this character development.
I was hoping for something really "groundbreaking", but who knows what the button storyline will turn into.

Spoiler

it's okay, I still like you

i'm sure we'll both have something to complain about tmm

 

[Gee]

Welp, looking forward to that last page of Batman #24. Both excited and anxious...

 

[WolfCypher]

I thought the spoiler would be

Spoiler

the death of Catwoman

and i was about to flip, but instead its

Spoiler

Batman proposing to Catwoman

and i be like...huh....

The Lazarus Contract was sh%÷. I loved the Wonder Woman special, but its a damn shame that a inconsequential special in its one issue was better than the entirety of a big deal Deathstroke story arc.

 

[Gee]

Ugh, spoiled by an article headline over at Polygon...

Though, I kinda expected it reading the solicit and considering what's on both the regular and variant covers...

Yeah, a lot of people were spoiled on twitter because of the article headlines.

 

[CrimsonMist]

I'm all for the revelation of [BLACKOUT]Bruce and Selina getting married[/BLACKOUT], and I hope it's handled well. I certainly hope DC isn't so tacky as to [BLACKOUT]kill Selina[/BLACKOUT]. I would probably stop reading it entirely if that was the case.

It's an opportunity to explore something different and take Batman in a direction he doesn't often, if ever, go.

 

[Saint]

Was spoiled on Twitter. Not pleased, but excited to read.

 

[Primal Slayer]

If they aren't going to REALLY commit to it then don't bother. I don't need it to last a handful of issues just to act like nothing ever happened.

 

[Richard Grayson]

I'm really hyped for this. I hope DC commits full throttle at least for a while. It obviously won't be permanent but I had a feeling something like this was coming since The Button

 

[Motown Marvel]

I can't believe the number of sites who spoiled this by putting it right in the headline of the article. Like...seriously?!

 

[The Shape]

Yeah, it's ********. I don't even know why people would want to spoil it for themselves before reading, anyway.

 

[Mani-Man]

Its awful how little care some sites put into this, downright spoiling it in headlines is always bad.

Leave it to people to decide if they want to know about this spoiler or not...have some decency instead of looking for clicks.

Either way, the more i think about it...the worse i find the idea.
It seems so OOC to me in the overall sense of it, which on one hand makes the issue interesting because i want to see what leads to that.

 

[nyyarod]

Well I just read it and it's uh, interesting to say the least.

 

[_Superman_]

So it took the Dark Knight III for Miller to finally admit that Superman was holding back all this time on Batman and could've kicked his butt anytime he wanted too.

Like we all didn't already know that?

 

[titansupes]

Been a while, but I thought that was fairly obvious in the story itself, no...?

 

[Sawyer]

I can't believe the number of sites who spoiled this by putting it right in the headline of the article. Like...seriously?!

I loved seeing someone calling CBR out about it on Twitter, only for one of their people to go "Well, USA Today did it!" Okay.... doesn't mean you also had to.

Ridiculous.
