Agreed. It's been a cool battle sometimes, but I think that it's overused and the concept is just weird: A mere mortal with a lot of brains and gadgets vs...an alien who can lift the weight of a cruise ship. Why is it that we see Batman v. Superman battle often, but not Captain America v. Thor?

Because Captain America doesn't get written off as a paranoid maniac.

Yeah, Cap doesn't have files on countermeasures on his friends and s***, so it's pretty well understood that Thor would turn him into a red smear in about 3 seconds if they fought. The same should be understood of Superman vs. Batman, but Batman fans are crazy and some of them get to be comic writers and editors.

True. I also think its that the two are icons and legends, both in-universe and to the readers.

That doesn't mean you turn the world's greatest heroes into brawlers againts each other, but knowing Johns this is just Hal Jordan and Batman checking out is the Kryptonian a menace or not, since this is an origin story, but good grief if we're gonna also have Wodner Woman fight someone. <_>

 

[Mystirious]

I really hope that the JLA origin is going to be better than it sounds right now

 

[Pyro Man]

Indeed. It all seems rather underwhelming for the flagship title of "the new era" so to speak to have something as cliche as a Bats and Supes fight in the second issue. Its just not sounding particularly good.

Also, no signs of giant starfish aliens so points off for that.

 

[Mystirious]

Agreed the lack of giant starfish aliens in this origin upsets me

It's not a proper JLA origin without Starro

 

[Assassin]

the one page preview where Bruce tells Hal that he's too damn bright in EW was great

Well we know Batman is gathering these heroes with Hal Jordan because of an ancient evil, so it could be the we will get Starro.

 

[Mystirious]

I hope so

It's the JLA's origin. They need to fight a giant evil starfish that wants to conquer the world. Otherwise its not a proper origin at all

 

[Pyro Man]

I think all origins would benefit from this being apart of the story.

Spider-Man gets bitten by a radioactive spider, his uncle dies, boohoo. That's a ****** story. Now have him fight a giant starfish and it would've been timeless. Too bad they had to mess things up with a giant starfish free origin for Spider-Man.

And now Geoff Johns begins his quest to destroy comics by retconning a giant starfish out of the one truly great origin story in comics

Imagine how much better his origin would be if a giant starfish had been the one who shot his Uncle Ben

Go on just imagine it

Brooklyn Rage!

 

[yenaled]

Starro isn't hip enough for the DCnU.

He'll have to be wearing a padded jacket and body armour.

I did. It was orgasmic.

It would be awesome if one giant starfish who happened to be kind of a jerk was accidentally responsible for the origin of every superhero ever.

"Hey! I'm Starfish Smith! Check out my new invention, Superboomerang! I'd like to thank Mr. Joe Chill for investing his life's savings."
*Starfish Smith chucks his boomerang at lightning speed, it travels several years and penetrates the core of Krypton, leading to it's destruction. On the way back the boomerang slices through Abin Sur's spaceship and lands on the doorstep of Digger Harkness*

It practically writes itself

DC need to publish a Secret Origins 80 page special that is about this

They can call it the Starro the Starfish Secret origins Special and it shall be fabulous

This should be, no NEEDS to be, the backstory of one of DC's alternate earths.

I would buy it

Remember when Batman was suspicious of Hal instead of Clark? That was fun 'cause it actually made sense.

 

[Mystirious]

I wonder if Hal being mind controlled by Parallax the unfriendly space cockroach will still be in continuity after the relaunch

 

[X Knight]

Hal will be mind controlled by an unfriendly space Starfish........

 

[Pyro Man]

THIS

t:

That could only improve Green Lantern: Rebirth

 

[Pyro Man]

That could only improve everything Geoff Johns has written ever.
