The now NEW Official DC Stupid Questions thread: Didio Headaches - Part 2

Ok. I was under the impression the matter was sent to court and when Marvel won they annouced by taking Carol Danvers and was like "Check it out! The Real CAPTAIN MARVEL is here!" And I suppose it makes sense since mainstream audiences probably don't know who Captain Marvel is outside of people who watched that old show, but everybody recognizes the word SHAZAM from one place or another.

....So would that mean if Billy were to introduce himself "My name is Shazam" he would inadvertedly cause himself to transform each time? That would suck.

He has to say it a certain way, at least now he does.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

"Shazam. ShaZAM. SHAzam. Shazammmmm."

 

[Anubis]

It's GD travesty is what is.

 

[Manic]

"Super God-Powered Hero Man SHAZAM: GO!"

 

[WolfCypher]

Is Jimmy Olsen around the same age as Lois and Clark now? He was always this eager young "pal" character, a kid-brother type character.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah.

Okay, so I only have some of these issues and I'm curious. Can anyone help me get a proper, chronological reading order for all the Bat September-Zero issues? A friend was asking about the read order and I only have Batman, Nightwing, and Batman & Robin. I also figure Justice League 1-6 could fit in there. Once he asked me about it I was thinking that could be cool to bind togethr as an early origin of Batman hardback bind.

Titles of interest:

Batman 0
Detective Comics 0
Batman: Dark Knight 0
Batman & Robin 0
Nightwing 0
Red Hood & the Outlaws 0
Teen Titans 0
Batgirl 0
Justice League 1-6

Also, would Talon fit in there nicely or does it take place prior to that time period? How about Catwoman?

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Batman #0 is the last part of Batman's New 52 origin.

From those I have read, as indicated in captions, it would be:

The Dark Knight
Detective (10 Years Ago)
Batman (6 Years Ago)
Justice League (5 Years Ago)
Nightwing
Red Hood
Teen Titans
Batman & Robin (A Year and a Half Ago)

How good or bad is the Earth 2 JSA?

 

[Jordacar]

Why does Cassandra Cain have bandaged wrists as part of her costume?

 

[Anubis]

How good or bad is the Earth 2 JSA?

It's okay so far.

Though they aren't the JSA yet.

 

[The Question]

Why does Cassandra Cain have bandaged wrists as part of her costume?

It's a boxing thing. Sometimes boxers and martial artists will wrap their hands in bandages to protect their knuckles instead of wearing padded gloves. I think, aesthetically, they're trying to evoke that trained fighter look.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Have Luthor and Tony Stark ever met in a crossover?

 

[Ipodman]

Are Alex Ross drawings hand drawn... or how does he do it??

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Hand drawn, then painted.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

He uses models for a lot of the lighting as well. Usually random people he knows; his dad was the model for the priest in Kingdom Come, for example. That's how he gets the photorealistic look.

 

[Panthro]

So besides the omnibuses collecting the original 4th World stories by Jack Kirby, what are some other good trades chronicling the adventures of Orion, Highfather, Darkseid and co?

 

[KevanG]

So what's Ruffles the rage kitty (red lantern Dexstarr) doing these days? Hocking acid hairballs on Hal?

 

[Anubis]

Retconned to be mortal enemies with Mondays.

 

[KevanG]

Do they even have Mondays in space?

 

[Anubis]

Mondays are everywhere....that's how they get you.

 

[Panthro]

Is "Death of the New Gods" any good?

 

[Anubis]

It was okay.

Doesn't really fit with anything it was supposed to fit with, but since that continuity is pretty much gone, may as well read it as a stand alone story, which is just okay.

Gotcha.
