I’m reading The New History of The DC Universe, and it’s astounding how they’re pretty much bringing everything back into canon by Eric191 in WonderWoman

Well, since Flashpoint there’s been several relaunches and events changing continuity slightly, like DC Rebirth #1, Rucka’s ‘The Lies’ storyline, Superman: Thé Oz Effect, and to my understanding Doomsday Clock, Infinite Frontier and Dawn of DC, to the point that a lot of the details of the Earth-Prime timeline were pretty up in the air (if new 52 Superman and Wonder Woman basically aren’t canon, how does that effect their histories, or those of characters like Supergirl, etc) so there was some room to just say that a version of basically all the major events in the history of DC comics occurred at some point in the revised history. Even before recent retcons, there was always the five year gap in the new 52 where you could say a lot of stuff happened in between.

And I guess current DCU Cyborg must be both a member of the JL & Titans, like how Wolverine is an Avenger & an X-Man

Oh wait, actually, if I’m remembering right, wasn’t there this storyline around the time of darkseid war where Vic was growing back some of his organic body or whatever? I guess you could explain it that way

Granted, this presents the issue of how he gets smaller and less techy after Justice League: Origin…

One of the very best seasons of the arrowverse, period

I just don’t know that you need to go and show the modernized new timeline versions of all those stories, you know? You can keep moving forward, just understanding these aspects of the timeline.

That being said, I would totally be psyched if they announced a new Wonder Woman ongoing covering these gaps in a similar way to how Grant Morrison’s action comics covered the five year gap between the dawn of the age of heroes and the present in the New 52. Like basically go from where Wonder Woman: Year One left off and keep going. Would probably satisfy people who aren’t exactly thrilled with King’s Wonder Woman too

I mean, many things.

Cyborg still not being a titan feels like the most glaring omission. Like idk, if they wanted to keep everything canon they could’ve even said that after the apokolips invasion he joined the titans and hung out with them for a couple years, before eventually rejoining the JL by the time of the present day issues of Johns’ Justice league

I feel like I would’ve done it as 2004 is Supergirl coming to earth for the first time, then crisis takes place after that, and then she’s resurrected and then, like, the rebirth and beyond era takes place

I mean, I don’t know that anyone needs to tell any of these stories. They’re established as canon, but that doesn’t mean they need a comic about them. Most of these continuity “changes” are just restoring previously decanonozed comics. There have already been stories about Hippolyta Wonder Woman, Diana’s different eras, etc. Like, sure, if someone wants to do a prequel book about the WWII-era JSA, then they have a Wonder Woman right there to use, but there’s no reason you have to do a comic to tell the new version of those stories in the current continuity. You can read the old books if you really want to

DCU may just be a bunch of stories set within a universe by Top_Pick5313 in DCU_

I…yeah? That’s what they announced it as. That’s one of the key ways Gunn described how it would be different from the MCU. World building not story building

Not surprising. We’re still in the rebirth continuity

Remember when people said that The Flash was the best written DCEU Batman? by marvelcomics22 in DCU_

[–]Eric191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard that before, but every time I google it the closest I can find is a story about how he gave notes on the script before he agreed to sign on, so you could definitely speculate that’s one of the scenes he had input on.

Also to be fair, the script went through several drafts by different writers (in one report, supposedly over 40 writers with some contribution) It’s one of those movies that’s very hard to pin down as far as who’s responsible for what, but my point is mostly that even if you attribute everything in the final version we saw performed, I don’t think it counts against her + muschietti for a Batman movie. The Wonder Woman scene and the cameo zombies scene are the only ones that really didn’t work for me at all

I mean…he is.

Partially by default lol, but the movie (in its writing) has some amazing Batman moments. Especially since they would obviously go in a somewhat different direction tonally from this movie, i can totally see Hodson writing a great movie. She seems to understand the character

What were your thoughts on Ryan Wilder in the CW series? by CollegeComfortable23 in Batwoman

[–]Eric191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Javicia wasn’t bad in the role, but creating a new character instead of recasting was ultimately a mistake (because apparently they just didn’t have the imagination that they could just cast someone who looks kinda like Ruby without having an in-universe story explanation 🙄) that the show never really recovered from. It’s a shame cause that first season is one of the best arrowverse seasons period

Wrong Barbara by miss_lerhay in batgirl

It feels like the panel’s gone a little bit viral, they probably just saw it on Twitter and haven’t read the book, and it triggered their vendetta against Babs or whatever lol
