The Official DC Stupid Question Thread....

Which was the time before he died? Shado doesn't count, she raped him.

 

[Manic]

It was during Grell's run, I think. Dinah caught Ollie sexing up the girl who worked at her flower shop.

The latest issue of GL is part 2 of this "Rage of the Red Lanterns" stuff. Where is part 1? I saw something about the RL's in Final Crisis but I'm not reading FC yet.

 

[CBG]

The Final Crisis: Rage of the Red Lanterns tie-in.

Even though it had nothing to do with Final Crisis, whatsoever.

 

[The Eagle Host]

Sure it does, they used the word "deicide." That's enough for a Final Crisis stamp.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Cool, thanks

what's the name of the story, or is there a trade for the issues Tim discovers Batman's identity and convinces him to be the new Robin?

Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying tpb

 

[batnkevlar]

Anyway, I just realized that Norman Osborn and HAMMER is a rehash of Luthor for President... and One More Day is a rehash of Waid/Johns Flash run...

 

[BrianWilly]

I wish people would stop comparing Luthor and Osborn's situations. The two are in no way similar at all.

 

[batnkevlar]

Well it's similar as in "bad guy now leads a major government position and is a hero in the public eye and heroes have to work for him"...

I'm still reading DC and Marvel, but seriously, c'mon...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

One More Day is in no way related to Waid's Flash run. "Ignition" was all Johns, long after Waid had left the title.

Also, Luthor's stint as president was handled much more subtly than Osborn's run as president-in-all-but-name. For one, Luthor didn't have his agents performing covert murders on American citizens a couple days into his term.

Do the heroes of DC remember JLA VS THE AVENGERS? Just curious.

 

[WolfCypher]

If the Parasite can take others memories, and Superman knows the identities of most of the Justice League, wouldn't Parasite know those identities?

 

[BrianWilly]

It's pretty solidly in continuity at this point, so I'm guessing that they do remember. I doubt they see it all that differently from any number of other Crises that have happened, though.

He doesn't retain the memories. Once he loses the powers he's absorbed, he loses the memories as well. That's how it happened with Rucka's new Parasites during his run, at any rate.

 

[The Question]

Rudy does retain memories, but he's less interested in using any info he's gleaned from Clark to do something huge and he's more interested in using it to screw with Superman because, for the most part, he's a one track minded sadistic ****.

Thanks man, I just bought it and thought it was pretty good so I was curious, I believe that the Trinity series delt with the Cosmic Egg for a bit there and i was curious if that had anything to do with this series I assume it does.

Oh and i introduced my brother to the second best movie of the year tonight, Speed Racer, on blu-ray no less. Thought you might want to know that.

I was referring to the time when Linda got pulled outta time and everyone forgot her...

Oh ****, he does remember things? I didn't know that.

The word will spread.

 

[Spike_x1]

Yeah, before his power upgrade from his encounter with Strange Visitor, Rudy could always remember vague things, such as the fact that Superman was associated with the Daily Planet and the like. Once he was upgraded, though, he kept the all of the knowledge that he had taken, even as his power faded and he "died."

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ah, I had forgotten about that. Poor Bart. No one believed him.

 

[The Question]

I have a question in regards to converting the masses: I have a friend who wants me to help her get into comics. He two favorite characters are The Joker and Wonder Woman, so my plan is to loan her The Killing Joke, as it's a short, stand a lone read and, if you like The Joker, an ass kicking good read, and when she's done with that, Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia, since it seems like a good transition from Batman comics to Wonder Woman comics, and is also an ass kicking good read. I was thinking that after that, I would start her off on Greg Rucka's Wonder Woman run, but I just want to know, is the first issue of his run a good place to start fresh to Wonder Woman, or do you need to at least have read some of the Perez stuff from the late 80s? I have read Rucka's run, but not in it's entirety as I came on late, so I don't think I've ever read the first issue.

 

[Lobo]

You really only need to read Gods and Mortals from Perez, from there you can go straight to the Rucka stuff.

 

[Mercy]

Is Supergirl living with Lana Lang now?
Im unclear about this.
