Flashpoint

[Mystirious]

If anyones interested The flashpoint Batman preview is floating around the net

Does it look good Oberon

 

[Roose Bolton]

Actually yeah, there's this one line that Thomas say's that really makes me think that he'll be a great character as the main mini continues.

Preview: Batman Knight of Vengeance #1! Flashpoint title

The Flashpoint Batman is just so old school badass, gotta root for this man! Tho isn't it a plothole that the Joker has been on Arkham? Isn't Thomas Wayne like hunting this guy all his life? Thats what i got from from Flashpoint #1 but i may have misread/misunderstood.

 

[Kurosawa]

That looks awesome...maybe he's hunted him down and caught him many times but legal loopholes manage to keep Joker alive.

Wonder how the other villains died...none of them are on Joker's level of evil. Of course, none of them are on Joker's level period.

Bleeding Cool is reporting that Flashpoint #5 is Johns' final issue with the Flash mythos for the foreseeable future.

 

[HighFivingMF]

I'll take the liberty of being the only one saddened by this.

Oh, I had forgotten about that particular scene, but yeah, I didn't think that he was actually gay in New X-Men. I was actually thinking he meant as kind of a 'F-U' to his ex originally or something.

The scan posted pretty much unambiguously confirms that Beast is in no way and never has been gay.

 

[fifthfiend]

Kate and Renee are lesbians and Harley and Ivy are bisexual

And we all know what's going on between Red Robin and Superboy and Booster and Beetle

Let me just tell you about my fanfic

Wonder what Johns is going to be on next then? Aquaman or Firestorm ongoing maybe?

I must admit, I'm a little concerned that half of the reason for Flashpoint is to draw Green Lantern characters like they being shown in the upcoming movie. There's a couple pages from the Abin Sur mini, and he looks like the movie version, and also Sinestro has the same Green Lantern uniform that Mark Strong is wearing in the film. I think that's a bit stupid. Don't tell us that Flashpoint is some huge event, if really it's just to play off the film to make extra money!

 

[Drz]

Yeah he's writing two new titles, he confirmed Aquaman to be one of them. Yeah i also noticed how Flashpoint Green Lanterns got the movie costume, but why should they adapt that to the comics? The upcoming cartoon isn't, why should the comics?

 

[Assassin]

yup him and Reis are doing Aquaman

 

[Mystirious]

Yeah he's writing two new titles, he confirmed Aquaman to be one of them. Yeah i also noticed how Flashpoint Green Lanterns got the movie costume, but why should they adapt that to the comics? The upcoming cartoon isn't, why should the comics?

Yep i doubt they are going to change the costumes in any of the other Green Lantern comic books

Well, that's kind of strange. I figured, if anything, he'd leave GL and start building Flash like he did the former. Him leaving Flash so soon after bringing back and establishing Barry seems bizarre.

 

[Panthro]

But isn't this what everyone wanted? For Johns to leave the Flash and give it to someone who quote unquote "can write genuinely awesome Flash stories"? [pardon my sarcasm]

 

[Roose Bolton]

hmm thats a damn shame, Johns really got me interested with Barry in the first flashpoint issue.
maybe he and Jim Lee are working a new Wonder Woman series?

 

[Frankenmation]

Well, that's kind of strange. I figured, if anything, he'd leave GL and start building Flash like he did the former.

I personally would have preferred it if that was the case. His current Flash run wasn't amazing but it feels more inspired that what he's been doing on GL since Blackest Night.

 

[WolfCypher]

Hmm. Johns doing Aquaman is hardly a surprise. Hasn't he practically stated multiple times how he just would kill to handle Aquaman?

 

[Mystirious]

hmm thats a damn shame, Johns really got me interested with Barry in the first flashpoint issue.

Johns has said he cannot write Wonder Woman so its probably not that

It will probably be an Aquaman comic book and maybe one about one of the other Flashpoint heroes

 

[Tron Bonne]

maybe he and Jim Lee are working a new Wonder Woman series?

Well, that would certainly be...completely and totally out of nowhere :/

 

[Panthro]

Johns has said he cannot write Wonder Woman so its probably not that

In the bold: because of legal issues or does he feel like he just doesn't have a good handle on how to write her character?

 

[Nightwing Z]

Hey, is Flashpoint going to affect the whole DC Universe? Since it's going to be the only one that's going to be released beyond August.

The latter.

Hey, is Flashpoint going to affect the whole DC Universe? Since it's going to be the only one that's going to be released beyond August.

We don't know. Speculation is rampant from relaunches to reboots to Superman being wiped out of existence and so on and so forth.
