DC to "Rebirth" in June - Part 1

[Gee]

Yup, Bruce is recounting the war to Selina before she gives him the answer.

Man, Janin's art...

 

[Mani-Man]

Batman 26 was okay, the storyline would have potential.
But now im more convinced that i will drop Batman after this arc.
Its sad since i kept going with batman for years, to see my interest drop so fast is something i thought would never happen.

King simply cant write Batman/Bruce, he comes off more like a troubled teenager.
His Bruce/Batman is one that simply doesnt fit with the canon.
If he would be writing a villian series than it would be okay because he does write good villians...but he writes for Batman.
A writer who writes Batman and cant get Batman right, thats not good.
The Art is fantastic, but thats it.

Justice League starts to really interest me, i like that it feels more like the cartoon.
The Characters interact nicely and you get the idea why they are considered Heroes.
Loved Meras role and all, its a cool idea to have her interact more with the League.

Superman was also good as always, Jon plays a big part in it being good.
I really like that a lot of the focus is on "teaching" Jon becoming a hero.

I like Green Arrows arc too, and the art is pretty neat.

 

[Gee]

Dark Nights: Metal #1 preview:

They're looking at the Multiverse map.

 

[Babillygunn]

Snyder doing a huge, over-blown event. What a shocker.

 

[Gee]

A comics shop owner has confirmed that DC dropped the price tag of Dark Nights: Metal #2-6 to 3.99 (originally solicited at 4.99).

 

[idiot09]

Because this story takes place before the new "Rebirth" and his new suit from what I gather.

Ahh. Thanks.

Yep! Metal is self contained but the tie in series enrich everything a lot.

@TravisEllisor
that's a lot of tie-ins. If we only read the main series, will we still understand the story?

 

[WolfCypher]

Can someone Twitter Snyder how Hawkman [BLACKOUT]was killed in Death of Hawkman, and he's just there, fine and dandy in Metal like nothing happened?[/BLACKOUT]

One of the tie-ins is Hawkman Found. You'll probably get your answer in that issue.

Is it my imagination or is this new suit Batfleck? I swear it's the same suit with a minor variation on the chest symbol.

 

[Boom]

I'm a bit behind. Have they still not brought The Joker back in the Batman title? Really itching to find out about this three Jokers thing.

Lol Joker is currently in King's Batman, the Batman/Shadow crossover, back ups of Harley Quinn, Dark Days the Forge and Casting, likely in Metal, will be in Murphy's new mini and has been teased in Batman Beyond.

Im not sure if anybody knows about the current joker situation, not even DC really.

Batman/shadow has a joker who is a bit like Leto's joker(at least from the look)
Kings current batman arc has a joker, but i think its set before snyders endgame run.
DC Metal has a joker locked up under the batcave.

Im lost on everything Joker related when it comes to DC.
Is the one from Endgame around? Is this three joker thing still something that they want to go into?

I absolutely thought of Batfleck when I saw 26. Can't stand the dumb and pointless yellow outline round the bat symbol. This look is far cleaner, better and should be implemented full time.

Can someone Twitter Snyder how Hawkman [BLACKOUT]was killed in Death of Hawkman, and he's just there, fine and dandy in Metal like nothing happened?[/BLACKOUT]

Im not sure if I missed a preview, but

[BLACKOUT]the Hawkman killes in Death of Hawkman was the Thanagarian space cop. The Hawkman in Metal is the reincarnated Egyptian Prince, the Golden Age version of the character. He hasnt been seen since pre-Flashpoint along with the rest of the JSA. It's also the version that Geof Johns brought back in JSA years ago.[/BLACKOUT]

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I just read a theory that

Spoiler

Kon-El isn't just in a tube next to Tim Drake, that he's actually Mr. Oz. It would explain why he has such an interest in Superman, and why he kept Tim alive when he could have easily killed him to take him off the board.

I haven't read everything Mr. Oz has been in, but is that a possibility?

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Who read Dark Days: The Casting? That **** was amazing. I suggest picking this one up ASAP. The DCU is about to blow up!

 

[Motown Marvel]

The Forge was better than I thought it would be, but I thought The Casting was a jumbled mess. I'm not looking forward to this event.

Sounds dumb and also unlikely.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

Why do you think so? I'd love to see him in a prominent position in Rebirth.

 

[nyyarod]

This DC Metal event so far has been...interesting to say the least.

 

[Sawyer]

Oh myyy....

The cover of DETECTIVE COMICS #962 by Yasmine Putri. This is NOT a dream. NOT an Imaginary story.

[Scarecrow_King]

Azrael's been a big part of 'Tec lately, hasn't he? I'm way behind on it.

Is it Jean-Paul, or is it whatever that new guy was that I don't care about that Grant Morrison was using?

 

[Sawyer]

Pretty sure it's Jean Paul.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

Cool. Then it's time for me to catch up on 'Tec. I love me some AzBats.
