The now NEW Official DC Stupid Questions thread: Didio Headaches - Part 1

[Manic]

I'd assume so, but then Superman is the kind of guy who forgets half of his super powers during a fight-- especially his speed.

 

[Anubis]

If the plot wills it so......

 

[WompuM]

Cyborg fills the role of both the black dude and the teenager on the team. And since he's mostly robot, it means he can be the League member that gets blown up all the time in a fight without any long term repercussions.

Is Zeta Project worth watching after finishing Batman Beyond?

 

[Anubis]

No.

 

[Iron Man]

What's the TPB reading order for Morrison's Batman run?

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Off the top off my head:

Batman & Son
Batman: The Black Glove
Batman: RIP
Batman & Robin Vol 1
Batman & Robin Vol 2
The Return of Bruce Wayne
Batman & Robin Vol 3
Batman Incorporated

Is Zeta Project worth watching after finishing Batman Beyond?

I liked it enough, but I don't remember it having an ending so that kind of kills the fun of watching it.

Questons about the reboot:


1. Was Detective Comics and/or Action Comics rebooted?

2. Is Damian Wayne still around?

3. Is Billy Back to being Captain Marvel as a memebr of the JSA? Howabout Freddy and Mary?

Yes.

Yes.

We'll see, but it's doubtful.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

So I only read the Eclipso arc of when Saint Walker was in the JLA and I'm curious: what was the reasoning that he was suddenly able to make constructs? Prior to this comic Blue Lantern rings seem poorly limited.

The Blue Lanterns' limitations are actually one of the few things I love about Johns' rainbow nightmare. If they embody hope, it's 100% perfect that they can't actually do a whole lot themselves. Hope on its own is basically futile. But hope combined with the will to act can do amazing things, just as we see with the Blue Lanterns' rings supercharging the Green Lanterns' rings. It's one of the few parts of the emotional spectrum that doesn't feel like Johns attempting to fit a square peg in a round hole.

 

[Panthro]

I'd assume so, but then Superman is the kind of guy who forgets half of his super powers during a fight-- especially his speed.

Thor has a similar problem - he has centuries of combat training/experience yet whenever he goes up against say... the Hulk, he tends to forget most of it.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

He's also a lot faster than people seem to think. Early on in his series, he was described as being as fast as the lightning he controlled, yet minor speedsters like the Mongoose later started to make him look like he's standing still.

Not that I'm bitter.

 

[HighFivingMF]

Writing's hard, you guys.

 

[Manic]

Either learn how to write the character at full power, learn how to write a story that doesn't require their full power, or don't write them at all.

This.

Do we know what's going on with Aqualand/Jackson Hyde post-relaunch?

 

[WolfCypher]

Alfred Pennyworth
Tim Drake
Damian Wayne
Dick Grayson
Selina Kyle
Superman
Lois Lane
Pretty much everyone who's been in the Justice League (?)
The Teen Titans (?)
Tam Fox
Vicki Vale
Barbara Gordon
The Huntress (?)
Cassandra Cain
Stephanie Brown
Hush
Jason Todd
The Riddler
Bane
The Joker (?)
Talia Ghul
Ra's al Ghul
Select members of the League of Assassins
The Black Glove
Nobody
etc.

My question is...does Batman just suck at keeping a secret identity? How is it his identity has yet to be leaked to the public?

 

[Anubis]

Every couple of years they have a massive reboot and everybody forgets.

 

[Panthro]

Is the Elseworlds story "Green Lantern: Evil's Might" worth reading?

 

[RoughNTumble]

I guess citizens of the DCU just don't care to gossip about superheroes as much as real people would.

Action yes. Detective sorta.

Damian is the current Robin.

Neither Captain Marvel nor the Jusitce Society exist at this point.

Seems probable but has not been mentioned yet. Johns created Aqualad during Brightest Day and is writing Aquaman now, so it seems probable he will show up pretty soon.

The red ones don't know post-reboot. Unclear if Superman knows as their relationship hasn't been established. Although, Barry Allen clearly knows, and it seems that the point in time seen at the end of Flashpoint, the entire JLA would know, but in the actual JLA series, the team is unfamiliar with each other.

I guess citizens of the DCU just don't care to gossip about superheroes as much as real people would.

That's interesting, but in Identity Crisis, you see tabloids concerning gossip about superheroes and villains, so the general public is probably pretty interested.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I haven't been able to find anything on this, so I'm assuming the answer is no, but I'll throw it out there. As anything been said about the DC Comics digital catalog being made through the other Kindle products besides the Fire? I'm thinking of finally getting a Kindle, but I'm a little iffy on the Fire and was thinking of just getting a Touch instead, but I'm fairly interested in potential comic reading on it.

 

[Charlie Boy]

How did Barbra Gordon become Batgirl again?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Because DC's higher-ups said so.
