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

[smallville fan]

There are two 7th Anniversary sets: the first one includes: DETECTIVE COMICS #27, 83, 211, 216, 327, 359, 395, 442, 474, 574, 633, 711, 757 and 821, BATMAN #1, 49, 181, 497, BATMAN #2 (THE NEW 52), WORLD’S FINEST COMICS #94, DC SPECIAL SERIES #21 and BATMAN SPECIAL #1

I knew what issues were in the Anniversary set, what I was trying to ask was what were the stories in those issues. Like how Detective Comics #27 is obviously Batman's first comic appearance and how Batman #2 from The New 52 is something from The Court of Owls arc.

Have Darkseid and Mongul ever met?

 

[jonathancrane]

Was Arkham Asylum the first time the Joker took over Arkham?

 

[Mightmitenot]

How many immortal or reincarnating character does DC have?

 

[Anubis]

[Matt.S99]

Which issues of Batman '66 feature Batgirl most prominently?

 

[Panthro]

Has DC ever done any Else-World stories featuring El Capitan Rayo, AKA: Captain Ray, based on the Brazilian re-paint of Superman -

 

[KevanG]

So what was with Batman shooting that Lord Death guy into space in Batman Inc? The guy didn't have any powers besides he couldn't die. It seems excessive when he could have just locked him up, especially since he just killed a few people and healed quick. Every single one of his rogues has done worse than that and he just locks them up.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Unique circumstances, unique punishment, I guess. Though I don't know if Batman personally did that, or if it was the Japanese government. I can't remember.

 

[Anubis]

So that when he comes back he'll come back packin' ALIEN TECHNOLOGY!!!!

 

[Tron Bonne]

He already kind of came back in the Inc special that was like 3 issues or something put out before the series was rebooted in New 52. He hijacked a satellite that Batman Inc was using (or something like that). I forget now exactly what he did.

 

[JewishHobbit]

He came back in the last arc of Talon as well.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Ah cool. I keep forgetting that book exists (or did exist, if it's canceled).

 

[JewishHobbit]

Yeah, it's canceled. It was actually pretty decent. Nothing awe inspiring, but a good read. Particularly toward the beginning. It also served as a slight lead-in to Forever Evil: Arkham War in regards to Bane.

 

[jonathancrane]

In which issue/arc did Bruce move into the penthouse for the first time, and which issue/arc did he leave it?

Why is deathstroke starting at #1 again?

[badgrammar]

Why are there 2 lobos?

 

[Tron Bonne]

I wasn't reading it, but I believe the two Lobos story was one where a new, kind of metrosexual-esque Lobo showed up and basically said the more traditional Lobo that had been introduced already was an imposter. I'm not sure if there was ever an actual conclusion to that.

Not sure on Deathstroke. I think the series that got launched with the New 52 was canceled, right? If so, it's simply a relaunch.

 

[Havok83]

Whats been the general reception to the current Wonder Woman and Superman romance? Positive, negative?

Where is Lois and has she factored at all into their relationship?

 

[Tron Bonne]

Lois and Clark are just friends and co-workers as of now. There hasn't been much in the way of romance between the two, as far as to my knowledge.

I think the reception to the Superman/Wonder Woman thing has been mixed. A lot of people see it as sort of unneeded, bit of shock value to drive sales that doesn't particularly add much to either character. On the other hand, the Superman/Wonder Woman book has gotten decent reception, though whether that's in the direction of the relationship or just more the solidness of the book is another thing.

 

[Lord]

Is Grant Morrison's run on Batman the only run of the character that is more than 50% most likely canon after the New 52 or were other series mentioned as having as high a value? And regarding Green Lantern, have they already shown the first fallout between Hal and Sinestro that was alluded to in Secret Origin?

 

[Tron Bonne]

I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking if Batman Inc was canon to the New 52? The answer is yes, the last 12 issue series was told in the New 52 and therefore can considered that the whole series is loosely canon.

 

[Lord]

Batman Inc and the rest of Grant Morrison's run on Batman, starting from the Batman & Son storyline if i'm not mistaken.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I think the idea was that all of Batman's history was loosely canon when the New 52 launched (in a similar vein, I guess, to what Morrison was doing in his entire Batman run), but with Zero Year, I'm not sure if that's still applicable or not. I haven't been following it.
