What are the best Rebirth titles so far in terms of narrative/story telling quality?

Superman, Green Arrow, Wonder Woman, and Deathstroke.

I've heard Detective Comics and Batman are really good.

Is All Star Batman Rebirth any good?

Superman, Green Arrow, Wonder Woman, and Deathstroke.

Flash, Action Comics and Superman.

Thank you both.

Is All Star Batman Rebirth any good?

I enjoyed it from what I remember. If you've read Synder's stuff in the past and enjoyed it, then I would give it a shot.

 

[Sorath]

Superman and Action Comics both been amazing. I love the fact that Superman and Lois have kid. The ineraction between the three of them makes those story lines better. As much as I love Superman I have found Batman to have the better story lines. However as of late Superman and Action comics have been amazing.

I really want to see some story lines with just Jon and Wonder-Women. I'm also looking forward to see Superman and Supergirl crossing paths (when ever that happens).

Is All Star Batman Rebirth any good?

Personally, I hate it.

 

[Babillygunn]

Loving Superman, Green Arrow and Flash, but of all Rebirth (and it's mostly all been top-notch) I've LOVED Aquaman.

Why the hell does anyone bother living in Gotham?
Why the hell does anyone bother to commit high-profile crimes in Metropolis?

What trade or trades come before "Superman: Panic In The Sky"?

 

[Lobo]

Has Superman ever beat Supergirl in a race?

 

[Sundancer]

Why the hell does anyone bother living in Gotham?
Why the hell does anyone bother to commit high-profile crimes in Metropolis?

1. My assumption is that Gotham is so big that for many the crimes occur "elsewhere," like in New York

2. The ego of the villains. Plus Superman often goes away on other missions. If they don't hear from him in a while they may think its safe to move. Reward outweighs the risk??

 

[WolfCypher]

Are there any current DC comics podcasts? I can't find any and the DC Comics Recap podcast stopped updating since July.

 

[BatLand]

Has the overall storyline established in the "Dc: Rebirth" been touched since then? And if, in what comics?

 

[DrMylesOBoogie]

Does anybody know why the pre-New 52 Superman exists if the new 52 was simply created by Barry Allen screwing with time? Is it a different earth? If so what happened to the pre-New 52 Earth?

 

[JewishHobbit]

I'm not sure if I could explain it well, but it all happened in the Convergence event that DC had.

From what I can tell

The Flash went into the past and Doctor Manhattan used that moment to further alter continuity worse than Barry would have (this was so Morrison could salvage his pet character Barry and absolve Flash from fan-backlash) so when Flashpoint ended, the altered New 52 was created.

New 52 is an altered pre-Flashpoint where everyone has lost 10 years of their lives (which...doesn't work for characters like Damian Wayne and Tim Drake, buuuuut...). Somehow pre-Flashpoint Superman, Lois, and their new baby were missing when New 52 was set, so Doc Manhattan/Mr. Oz(?) had to create a totally new Superman and Lois in their place, so the theory is that there isn't a pre-Flashpoint Batman, or Wonder Woman, or Flash, Lobo, Lex, etc waiting to show up and meet their "counterparts"...since the New 52 versions are just "de-aged" versions of them in an altered canon, but pre-Flashpoint Superman and Lois came back and co-existed in secret.

Also, the current (red-haired) Wally West is the original pre-Flashpoint Wally because he was lost in the Speed Force, so Manhattan/Oz created a new (New 52) Wally West. Now they both exist.

I...I really gathered that on my own and fan theorizing. Its...confusing.

 

[Lobo]

Um wow....

 

[Sundancer]

so was Batman basically date-raped by Talia, hence Damien?

 

[JewishHobbit]

There's been several renditions of that moment that's come and gone, but I think at the moment it was consensual. She wanted to get pregnant, I think, and had plans for the child, but the sex itself wasn't forced.

At least... that's if I remember correctly post-New 52.

 

[Panthro]

Are Carol Ferris and Kyle Rayner still doing their fauxmance thing?

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

So, I just read a random issue of Rebirth Flash. Barry is Flash, there's a black Kid Flash, and Wally West is...

 

[Scarecrow_King]

Another Flash. Ever since the Rebirth one-shot.

Barry is Flash. Strawberry Wally is Flash. Chocolate Wally is Kid Flash.
