Welcome to Earth One!

[Dangerman]

I'm sorry but am I the only one who thinks if DC was going to start over they should have just used the Earth One line to do so. I mean this line is successful and did successfully reinvent Superman. I just think that this like really should have been JMS debut on the Superman comics and they could have moved forward from there starting over with Batman, GL, Wonder Woman, Flash, everyone. I just think this would have been a better idea than what they are doing right now.

They didn't do that because they'd make a lot less books and a lot less money.

Change them to monthly titles instead of the format they are doing now and you would have still gotten the same results as they are going to get with this new DCU.

 

[Drz]

The whole point of the series was that you just pick up 1 book per year or two and enjoy it as that.

Frank's still working on it.

They should have released it this year and superman 2 next year, that said,they should go after other characters they have and release 2 earth one volumes per year

It's taking longer than expected. It happens. I just hope Morrison gets to do The Flash: Earth One.

 

[Karelia]

I'd love to see Morrison do The Flash: Earth One. That'd be so awesome.

I hope they do a Green Lantern: Earth One, as well as a Wonder Woman: Earth One.

Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! NO WAIT! IT'S ACTUALLY ALIVE?! IT'S:
Batman: Earth One! Coming May 2012!

Announced in December 2009 along with the bestselling Superman: Earth One by J. Michael Straczynski and Shane Davis, Batman: Earth One takes Bruce Wayne back to Crime Alley, where tragedy set him on the path to become the world’s greatest detective. Both graphic novels were originally set to debut in 2010, but obviously only Superman hit that target date. Batman is listed for release on May 8, 2012 (not necessarily set in stone), a little more than two months before the opening of The Dark Knight Rises. Here’s the Amazon description:

Geoff Johns, the writer of BLACKEST NIGHT, GREEN LANTERN and INFINITE CRISIS re-teams with superstar artist Gary Frank, his collaborator on SUPERMAN: SECRET ORIGIN, SUPERMAN:BRAINIAC and SUPERMAN & THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES, to create this original graphic novel that gives new insight into Bruce Wayne’s transformation into Batman and his first year as The Dark Knight. This follow-up to the # 1 New York Times bestseller, SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE, by J. Michael Straczynski and Shane Davis is the latest in the series that features the industry’s top writers and illustrators and their unique takes on DC’s characters. It’s the perfect book for new readers of graphic novels as well as longtime comic book fans.

It's about time.

look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No wait! It's actually alive?! It's:
batman: Earth one! Coming may 2012!

finally!!!

 

[Batman]

Sucks that we have to wait until May, but nevertheless an awesome surprise.

Now if Morrison gets to do his proposed Wonder Woman: Earth One story, we'll be in business.

 

[Drz]

He also talked about Flash Earth One.

 

[TwilightPro101]

Glad to finally see a release date for Bats.

Not a fan of the wait either, but hopefully, it'll be worth it.

I'm surprised we haven't seen much in regards to volume 2 of Superman.

 

[HighFivingMF]

Can we just get an Earth Morrison series?

 

[TwilightPro101]

Can we just get an Earth Morrison series?

That would be awesome in and of itself.

 

[Lord]

I bet that Morrinson's Flash (if it's him morrinson will make) will use elements of the silver age again

 

[CConn]

I hope, unlike Superman Earth One, Batman Earth One is longer than 150 pages.

And doesn't suck.

Well, when Morrison talked about that, he talked about it in the past tense. 'The story was going to be Earth One.' It kind of implied that it wasn't an EO story anymore. A lot of people looked a little too much into that, I think, as well as what he mentioned about his potential EO Flash story.

Brb 'batin.

 

[IamtheBatman]

I am so psyched for Batman: Earth One!

 

[Lord]

So the Earth one comics that are still being created are Batman and a Superman sequel, so when does superman 2 get released and is there any other hero being developed
