They should bring back Superboy is what they should do. Not this Jonathan Kent kid either. Though I do approve of Superman's son being named after his adopted father.

To answer the Randolph question from before:

what did she say

She said they need to simplify how the DC Films division operates (she basically wants it to be a full on subsidiary rather than a division of DC Entertainment or have DC Films answer to Silverman directly like Feige and Horn) and who Berg and Johns answer to since Johns answers to Nelson while Berg is for Silverman. Of course she is unsure if Johns is the right person for the job cause he may have too much on his plate with DC Comics going through another major reboot with Rebirth. Of course she says that the New 52 is seen as a slight against Johns as it lost many readers from the original continuity, but that's another debate along with you guessed it GL. She then suggests that Dini and Timm probably would have been a more preferable choice due to their success with the DCAU, their good will with both WB and fans, and their experience with these characters. I always thought they should be used in a consultant level of capacity, but wouldn't mind a Feige capacity with Berg there to help them with the medium.

I nominate Miss Grace Randolph as the new head of DCEU film division.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Spoiler

Sean Bean of Zack Snyder movies.

 

[KalvinEllis]

Don't care what Randolph thinks. In Geoff Johns we trust.

 

[dhandler01]

Newsarama gave Rebirth #1 a 10/10.

 

[Sawyer]

Hey, d-bags in the previous thread? I already read the spoilers, but how about we don't go dropping them without spoiler tags and any consideration for those who might want to actually read the goddamn issue first.

This is probably jmc's worst nightmare

I'm just sick of not moving forward with comics, it's just like the medium does nothing other than recycle the same stuff over and over again.

 

[Herolee10]

For this film...

We need less of this...

And MORE of this...

 

[jokesonm3]

Hear Hear, no more grumpy heroes.

What in your mind is "moving forward"?

Superhero comics isn't the medium. It's a genre of comics. Comics is the medium. Superhero comics inherently "recycle the same stuff over and over". That's why they're analogous to heroic myths. Myths are told over and over with variations and updates. Superhero comics, unlike other genres, are continuously ongoing. Maybe you never really liked it for what it truly is.

Or

Less of this

[FunkMiller]

Batman can stay grumpy as ****, no problem, that's kind of his thing. The rest though... they need to be lighter and a more upbeat.

Geoff Johns won't be writing Rebirth much.

Bruce Timm and Dini are popular picks but their main expertise is animation. Geoff Johns has more managerial experiences, being an CCO, working on scripts and shepherding the DC TV shows. What if Bruce Timm and Dini are better creators than they are in managerial roles... also Dini said he's busy with his own projects so it's not so clear they would take it.

I prefer completed stories which is why I buy the full graphic novels and not the monthly issues, which means I'm usually a good 9-12 month behind everyone else in their reading. I like the concept of superheroes but I don't particularly care for the recycled story telling that's prevalent. Hell, I'd be satisfied if they were to just keep characters dead once they're killed off. But hey, that's just me.

Well that is cause readers want that...if they stopped buying the comics wouldnt publish it.

Then it sounds like your interest is cursory. That's fine. Anyone can like any aspect to any degree, but you're asking superhero comics to change just for you and be something they aren't.

Other people appreciate retellings because they provide different takes and updates to modernity. Perhaps stories don't need to change because it's worth repeating. These modern myths have ancient archetypes. The whole concept of superheroes isn't anything new. It's a tradition and traditions are repetitious.

 

[KillerWolf]

Man, these posters are gorgeous. Why the hell didn't they release them before...?

No, I'm asking them to not be reliant on the past.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I wonder how filming is coming along.

 

[Kane52630]

In Geoff Johns we trust.

 

[mat-chow]

Yeah, I can see why they didn't go for that Supes poster. He looks straight up terrifying there. Think about the childrens!!

 

[Mad Love]

Since when were superhero comics never reliant on the past?
