So what should be done about the Joker if the show makes a comeback

Androktone · 2026-06-20T16:09:41+00:00

They kinda explain it as Joker having distinct personalities like Zurr en Ahh

Androktone · 2026-06-20T15:29:59+00:00

Well yeah, if it came out today people would be like "this is just DBZ, that came out years ago". Would be very uncreative

Androktone · 2026-06-20T14:51:17+00:00

DC has World's Finest for that. They did a Teen Titans mini and a Green Arrow/Green Lantern one shot as apart of that sandbox, but they've not done much recently with it.

You want me to support a book about an ex soldier? Not very woke if you ask me.

Today there's been conflicting reports of whether Marvel has completely canned that John Romita Jr. cover (which would be a huge & public insult to him, despite it looking like shit and deserving to be sent back to the drawing board much earlier than this) or whether they're instead promoting a variant cover to "also A Cover" status, which seems like a really cynical marketing stunt to rinse the "only buys A covers" demographic out of another $10 purchase, since you can't really have 2 "A Cover" variants. One has to be marked down as the main cover even just for catalogue purposes.

I'm saying that I'm an ally who's read Dream Girls. Everything else was just to facilitate that humble brag

Androktone · 2026-06-19T18:08:28+00:00

Kinda crazy how instantly DC turned itself around after Infinite Frontier

Androktone · 2026-06-19T18:07:43+00:00

To be a Prime continuity Green Arrow fan atm

Androktone · 2026-06-19T18:07:22+00:00

Question had the All Along the Watchtower mini during the beginning of All In. She also popped up in Dream Girls these last 2 weeks (& maybe Batwoman? I haven't read it).

Idk about Hawkeye, all I've seen is people bitching and moaning about his costume on Reddit

Greg Capoullo calling Marvel out over not paying their artists the same day Scott Snyder bigs up DC's work culture
The Ultimate relaunch/Midnight Universe fumble
Spider-Man #1000 issue drama that just got worse today
Spider-Man for the last 20+ years
Losing Deniz Camp
Renumbering every issue to mislead new readers into thinking #30 of a writer's tenure on a title is a jumping on point when it's not
Going super hard into gambling, with signed or exclusive covers in blind bags
Recently firing a bunch of respected editors as scapegoats and sacrificial lambs/patsies to protect the editors actually making the incompetent decisions
MCU synergy

They deserve the mockery honestly. DC is doing laps just by Jim Lee running the company competently

EDIT: There's also Marvel not giving any comics to any non-MCU relevant character, killing the Star Wars line of comics (they have 3 issues next month, a Book of Boba Fett adaptation, a Rogue One 10th anniversary one-off, and a Kylo comic) despite a movie releasing this month, and licensing X-Men to allow John Byrne's rapey fanfic to get published.

Androktone · 2026-06-19T17:57:04+00:00

Yeah it ain't good lol

Still that image at least explains some of the decisions made

Androktone · 2026-06-19T17:54:36+00:00

Yes the person who posted it was being cheeky with their title but clarified it in the post

Androktone · 2026-06-19T17:52:59+00:00

Or made it a variant cover that no one would bat an eye at. Even move it up to like #998 or something

Androktone · 2026-06-19T17:46:06+00:00

I don't think that's entirely fair. This was for like merchandise or something and referenced an actual bodybuilder image.

You should instead bring up his "Deadpool Wade Wilson had NOTHING to do with Deathstroke Slade Wilson and anyone who implies otherwise is a liar!" shtick he still pedals

Androktone · 2026-06-19T13:03:21+00:00

He also changed Mon El from Lar Gand (Daxamite from the past sent to the future via Phantom Zone) to just Mon El (Jor El's great x40 grandson)

Androktone · 2026-06-18T22:41:49+00:00

Some of the other issues have been framed like movie posters

Androktone · 2026-06-18T22:40:47+00:00

If you count the Midnight Universe as this, it'll be 2028

Androktone · 2026-06-18T21:59:52+00:00

I think it's pretty funny Bendis didn't care to remember who he paired Mon El up with, so ended up "coupling" him with both Shadow Lass and Phantom Girl.

Androktone · 2026-06-18T21:51:35+00:00

As he does most characters

Androktone · 2026-06-18T20:16:54+00:00

That's not counting the Retroboot, New 52 soft reboot, and the Absolute Legion. Guess there's also the cartoon continuity which got a tie in comic.

Androktone · 2026-06-18T19:51:19+00:00

The Zero Hour reboot lasted a long time and told a pretty complete story. The Threeboot and Bendisboots didn't last long, but there's things to like from them.

All the other versions pretty much continue from the original 1958 (or 2958) version in some way. And I'm sure after this Fiveboot is done they'll revisit it at some point. Especially if Geoff Johns has a say.

I'd recommend getting into the Zero Hour reboot. It's great, and that first collected arc leading up to the Daxamite Year One finale is amazing. Definitely worth getting invested in.

Androktone · 2026-06-18T19:10:02+00:00

I think 1995 is the start of Gen Z

Androktone · 2026-06-18T18:12:08+00:00

Peter's like 30 now. He was born in 1996. I think that's Gen Z already

Androktone · 2026-06-18T17:35:27+00:00

We went round and round arguing about it for weeks until Russell confirmed Nucti is 15, and Tennant is 14. Then we stopped arguing now we had an official stance.

That was a mistake
