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

[DawnWarrior]

I know there's "The Last Days of Krypton" novel by Kevin J. Anderson.

 

[Baramos]

All I know is he's gonna show up on the "Beware the Batman" 'toon.

As a generic mob boss, I've read. Although the promo art DID list his weapons of choice as a scalpel and bone saw so maybe we'll still get the freaky mutilator from the comic in some shape or form.

 

[WolfCypher]

What does everyone think of the new Captain K'Rot (a modernized space-animal Captain Carrot for mainstream/New 52 DC)? I don't know if this is old news or not...but no one is talking about it on the DC threads...

Anyone here interested? Is this just an attempt to give DC a Rocket Raccoon?

 

[Anubis]

Looks like they're going Bucky O'Hare on this one.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

That creepy Pig villain from the first arc of Grant Morrison's Batman & Robin, did he ever appeared in anything since?

Professor Pyg. In Batman #1 at Arkham.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Has Superman's mullet been retconned?

How about when he wrestled the angel?

Does Cyborg Superman still exist?

 

[Anubis]

Yes.

Yes.

Probably.

 

[Hush]

Since GL is intact I imagine Henshaw exists and Superman did supposedly die as well.

 

[Anubis]

Here's a stupid question....since most members of the JLA tend to try that whole, no borders thing, if a Red Dawn situation went down, would the JLA fight on the side of America, or would they stay out of it? Keep in mind, most of them live in America.

 

[Rocketman]

Does anyone know the actual reading order / timeline of "Death of the Family"? We have this as a release date checklist / purchasing order, but it is not the order of how/when the story takes place.

 

[Polux]

He's with Wally West and Cassandra Cain at the Oblivion Bar.

Indeed; has there been any mention by ANYONE (and I mean the publishers) about the whereabouts of Wally West???

Also, lats time I checked, kryptonians back in Krypton were as normal as humans on earth, but in the first numbers of actions comics they say that kryptonians were all "super" even back there....any word on that???

Thanx guys,

Polux

I think someone said something about leaving a proposal on DiDio's desk, which means DiDio probably flushed it down the crapper. Talk about being disrespectful towards a character, his fans and his legacy to the DC Universe...

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Francis Manapul, current Flash writer, wrote a story outline for the reintroduction of Wally West, he was told that the story could be used in the future, but for now DCE want to focus on Barry Allen.

Didio said he was lost in time somewhere, though clearly in jest.

 

[Samwise Gamgee]

My stupid question: How did thew Watchtower come about? Who pays for it?

The obvious answer is private funding from Bruce Wayne and maybe Oliver Queen but that place has got to require an annual budget that exceeds many countries. Even if Wayne had something similar to Bill Gates' wealth I don't see how he could fund this, especially if he had to fund it in secret.

 

[Panthro]

^^I always figured Bruce Wayne and other wealthy or well off members collaborated on funding the Watch-Tower together.

And that's why I've decided not to invest in New 52 Flash.


So, what's Green Arrow up to these days?

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Nowadays ARGUS funds the Watchtower, Wayne and Queen are rich, but not so rich that people don't notice $500 billion disappearing every year.

Also, you should invest in Flash, I don't read it as often as I should, but every time I read it, it's good.

 

[Polux]

In case you guys missed it before....

Last time I checked, kryptonians back in Krypton were as normal as humans on earth, but in the first numbers of actions comics they say that kryptonians were all "super" even back there....any word on that???

Thanx guys,

Polux

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, but that was eventually made Earth II Superman's Krypton. Which means the Goldenage Superman, you know the one who tossed corrupt business men around and tossed cars around and s**t, was that same dude that got beat to death by punk ass Superboy Prime.

Oh, I meant the new 52's action comics; in the first numbers they talk about kryptonians as being a "superior species" or something like that, like they all were "super"; even tho there's no mention of them having powers in krypton.

Could anyone clarify that please??

[Anubis]

Ohhh, that simply means they were f**kin' awesome. I mean didn't you see Krypton? Place was awesome. Why? Cuz Kryptonians are awesome.

No special powers, (other than the fact that they all get insanely powerful under a yellow sun.) just that they had achieved spectacular advancements as a species that most sentient beings strive to....well....achieve.

I tried but I couldn't. Even if I factor out my disgust at the disrespectful way Wally West was erased from existence, the little I bothered to read of New 52 Flash did not impress me. People all over the boards, blogs, tumblers, etc. went gaga over the art & writing but I found both to be really poor, so I'm afraid I won't be investing in New 52 Flash.


So... is Etrigan still around? At all?

 

[Anubis]

Yeah. Demon Knights.

 

[Panthro]

Yeah. Demon Knights.

Any good?
