EZ DC questions

[ImrtlLimpWrist]

1) Was there a reason given why Flash and Martian Manhunter aren't in the JLA?

2) What the heck happened to Hawkman?

Told ya, they were easy to answer.

 

[yenaled]

1) Bart is young and has only just taken up the mantle of the Flash. Martian Manhunter is being an emo.

2) Quite a lot has happened to Hawkman over the years?

Addendum:

What happened to Wally?

Is Hawkman still in St. Roch? I see he's still part of the JSA (per the JLA/JSA crossover) but what is his current situation? Did DC just want to give Hawkgirl a book based on her popularity in the animated JL series?

Thanks!

No one knows what happened to Wally. DC decided it wasn't important to tell us anything at all about Wally post-IC.

I believe Hawkman was "lost in space" for a while like most of the people that went into space during Infinite Crisis. He got back and is working with the JSA and with Hawkgirl in St. Roch again. I didn't read the issues that explained it all (it was a crossover between Hawkgirl and JSA Classified) so someone else might have more information. And yeah, Hawkman's title wasn't selling well so DC thought they would try out Hawkgirl to see if her popularity from JLU can get anymore people - it didn't because Hawkgirl is rubbish and now I believe the books been canceled.

During Infinite Crisis Wally, Bart and his family went "somewhere" beyond the Speed Force where Barry, Johnny and Max are and only Bart came back. I'm pretty sure nothing else has been said.

BTW we have a thread for little questions like this: http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthread.php?t=246100&page=61 just for future reference.

As far as anybody knows, Wally, Linda, and the twins are in living in the Speed Force, which is inside of Bart. I believe they have a nice villa near the sphincter.

Hawkman is back on Earth. Don't ask me how he got back. To know that you would have had to have been reading Hawkgirl. He's currently in the new Justice Society of America, so if you wanna keep up with him that would be the best place to do so.

Don't mind Corp, he's bitter and gassey.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

We don't know anything about Wally, Linda, and the kids' current situation. We know they got sucked off to someplace. We don't know it was the Speed Force, since the others who were trapped in the Speed Force were actually with Bart when it happened, not in another city. Plus, if they are trapped inside of Bart, they're effectively dead, which is just ******ed to begin with. They built Wally into arguably one of the most compelling characters in comics just to off him and his whole family? Weak sauce.

 

[Anubis]

Nobody said they were dead, they mentioned they were still in the speed force in passing during the crappy issues of the current Flash run. I dropped the book immediatly after finding out that info.

 

[yenaled]

I miss Wally

 

[Kebab gud]

all we know is that Bart was the only one to make it back ..
end of disscusion

Didn't Bart also mourn them in one of those crappy issues? I remember him alluding to the fact that he'd failed them and implying that it had cost them their lives. Or maybe he included them while remembering the dead speedsters in the Speed Force...

 

[Anubis]

Well, he was pretty damn emo in those issues, who could tell?

 

[yenaled]

Wasn't it shown in IC that he was on a planet with Wally, etc. When they were holding Superboy Prime there.

Are there planets in the Speedforce?

 

[Kebab gud]

they where in the speedforce.... time didnt move any faster on any of the other earths, yet Bart aged several years..
All the earths porbit the same sun a yellow sun yet Emoboy had to make a yellow-sun suit because there was no sun in the speedforce

 

[Anubis]

It's an extra dimensional entity. I bet it even has a Starbucks.

 

[Ultra-Herald9]

now I'm just confused....

The way I heard it is that you find out that Wally and co.,Bart,Superboy,and somehow Barry were transported by the speedforce into another planet(this was the first major reveal that the Multiverse is back in DC) that had its own Jay Garrick. They kept Superboy in some kinda red sun containment thingy and he somehow busted out several years later.Together they put their speed powers back in Bart and gave him Barry's suit cause he needed it and sent him back to catch SBP.

I don't think they were ever IN the speed force.....doesn't that like mean your dead?

But I wouldn't be suprised of i'm wrong.

 

[Anubis]

Maybe they're just on one of the 52 new Earths.

 

[Kebab gud]

they where in the speedforce..
The other earths didnt have a red sun or age more rappidly..
(Prime stated that the place had a red sun (not a red sun simulator or something)

1) Was there a reason given why Flash and Martian Manhunter aren't in the JLA?

The Flash: Wally West along with his wife and children are in the Speed Force which is now inside Bart Allen, the new Flash. He isn't fully experienced as the Flash and still has some maturing to do that is why he is not in the new League. However, Bart is trying to earn his place in the League someday, not just to prove to them, but to himself also.

Martian Manhunter: Lieberman turned J'onn into an emo ***** in the terrible Martian Manhunter mini. DC then blamed it on Black Adam making J'onn question humanity in World War III. Also, Meltzer doesn't really care for the J'onn, replacing him with Red Tornado.

2) What the heck happened to Hawkman?

I dunno, who the hell reads Hawkgirl in the first place. The book was **** and it's why it's getting canned. Hopefully, Hawkman will get his own ongoing again written once again by Johns.

 

[ImrtlLimpWrist]

Okay, maybe I'm out of touch but WTF is an EMO?

Also, re-read Infinite Crisis II over the weekend. It was Hawkgirl, not Hawkman, who went missing. Don't those guys at DC actually read their own sh**?

 

[Harlekin]

Hawkgirl didn't really go missing, seeing as she came back somewhere in the first ten weeks of 52. Hawkman on the other hand, was the person we didn't get to see, and y'know... was missing.

^what the Who fan said.
