The now NEW Official DC Stupid Questions thread: Didio Headaches - Part 3

[Enriquespy]

So, did they ever said who Joker was or does only bat-god knows?

 

[Sundancer]

Sometimes. Depends on who punched reality this week.

 

[DawnWarrior]

In the original story by Dennis O'Neal, it looked pretty consensual. When Grant Morrison brought in Damien and made it canon again, Batman mentions being drugged for the encounter, so there's that.

 

[KevanG]

See?

 

[Tron Bonne]

He' referencing a story called Infinite Crisis in which reality was changed by Superboy Prime hitting the walls of reality, causing waves through continuity that rectonned a lot of material.

Yeah, I know.

 

[KevanG]

Reality got rebooted what? Four times since then?

I think my point is valid.

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

i remember a bit of art of a parade with all the flash family and the son sulking and just thinking, gee i wonder how long before he becomes a super villain

Nope. Geoff Johns planned to give him a back-up during his pre-Flashpoint run on The Flash. But then DiDio decided to can that and have Flashpoint reset the DC Universe and then didn't let anyone use Wally and finally approved the teenager version we have now. But Reverse-Flash did mention that he would evolve into a supervillain and eventually kill Wally.

well at least we avoid that stupid bullet. it was one part of the whole flash re-do that i really hated it was so forced.

 

[KevanG]

Wally and his kids showed up in the Convergence thing so they're still around. No idea about what happened since but they both seemed to have powers at that point.

 

[Cobblepot]

Has Batman and Catwoman new 52 been cancelled?
And what is Tec's last new 52 issue?

 

[KevanG]

So I just finished reading Cry for Justice or Gay for Justice depending on how you read the font they chose and had a few questions.

1) Was this happening around the same time as that ****show Countdown? Because that would explain a lot.

2) Did the people who approved/wrote this know any of the characters at all or just assumed stuff without researching?

3) and which is worse? Countdown or this?

 

[Zur-en-Arrh]

cry for justice... i don't know how to respond, other than to put my arm around you and tell you how relieved we are you returned with your mind still in tact after reading it.

 

[KevanG]

If I can read Superman at Earths End then this wasn't a big deal.

 

[TheCommissioner]

anyone reading Future Quest?

I really like it

 

[DawnWarrior]

3) and which is worse? Countdown or this?

I say Countdown is worse, only because it goes on longer and ruins more stuff.

 

[javi1024]

Are there any good books that feature The Ray in a leading or significant role? Or is he just one of thos D-list characters that never really amounted to much? I don't know what it is, but something about his design makes me wanna read more about him.

[TheCommissioner]

I think The Ray had an ongoing or limited series in the mid 90s

 

[javi1024]

Do you know if it was any good?

 

[Spider-Jay420]

So is Rebirth a 6 or 8 issue mini series or just a series of one shots?

 

[Tron Bonne]

I think it's more of a status quo type of deal as opposed to an event. Kind of like when Marvel had their "Heroic Age" and DC did their "Brightest Day" thing several years back (though I think Brightest Day did have a series). It's obviously leading to an event of some kind, but it's more about the direction of the line as a whole. The Rebirth issues are like 0 issues to the relaunches of the series and stuff.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, it's a status quo shift. DC Universe Rebirth was just a one-shot to set up the changes to the universe, and then these other Rebirth one-shots are meant to set up the new status quos for each individual series going forward. I think Johns said the central questions raised by DC Universe Rebirth will be answered over a year or two throughout different series. We've already seen some follow-up to the questions raised in that one-shot in Titans Rebirth and Flash Rebirth.

 

[DawnWarrior]

So basically a year of stories to let us know what's still canon and what isn't. Same old, same old.

 

[Sundancer]

1. Okay, so...including infinite Crisis how many times has the DC universe been rebooted?

2. What books/collections should I read to see how the emotional spectrum was introduced into the GL titles/DC Universe?

 

[KevanG]

1) ****, I don't know... 5? There's the first one COIE, Zero Hour, Infinite Crisis, New 52 and Rebirth. I think I'm missing some though. I have no idea what they did to Hawkman in all that though.

2) I think pretty much anything after Hal came back in 2005. That was when the did the Parallax retcon and went on from there.
