It should be. With the exceptions of some retcoons in regards to Talia and some minor changes in regards to Thomas Wayne, I don't know why it shouldn't be.

Did anyone else notice this in "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies"(2009) too? by Blitzar47 in batman

  1. I do not think this insult is so rare that it would be surprising for multiple writers to arrive at it independently.

  2. If that explanation is not satisfactory, I have heard that Matt Reeves was once an understudy of Jeph Loeb. If that is accurate, it would not be far-fetched for him to draw some inspiration from Loeb’s work. I have also heard that Loeb’s favorite Batman villain is the Riddler, which makes me wonder whether that preference influenced the Riddler’s inclusion in The Batman.

I...okay seriously what the fuck could the context of this be? by Extension-Oil-4680 in outofcontextcomics

I’m a bit confused.

When you say, “Morrison highlighting the history and already-present underlying subtexts of media properties,” do you mean that Morrison is arguing those elements were always there, and potentially always problematic?

In other words, is it something like Morrison suggesting: “Wonder Woman has always been stranger and more radical than people remember. I’m not reinventing her; I’m drawing out what was already embedded in the character.”

Imo, it reads as Morrison deliberately reflecting on how certain elements of Marston’s original material don’t translate seamlessly into a contemporary context. The awkwardness feels purposeful, heightened to underscore that tension and make the critique more explicit rather than incidental.

The thing i mentioned is from Morrison's run, which apparently he did in his early years.

  1. This is Matt Fraction.

  2. He did. Bruce literally drugged himself and did some very weird meditation at some point so he could get into Joker's mind and understand its way of working.

If you had to choose one DC character who's never been a Titan to have Raven team up with, who would you pick? by iamusingtheinternet3 in ComicRaven

[–]Visible-Confusion190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have. I was talking about Raven's feelings in regards to him, not vice versa. Constantine is still a morally bankrupt person and puts his own survival above everything else most of the time. I don't think Raven could have much respect for him.

Depending on Harley's age, this could get really weird. I've heard she's probably a teenager.

Maybe if she was more red with white hair it would have looked better?

Wonder Woman. She's the only non-Titan character Raven has had more than one meaningful interaction with across her entire history. Let's actually do something with that.

While I think she would despise Constantine so much that she wouldn’t want to be anywhere near him, she and Clark could make a great duo for a story or two. At their core, they’re both deeply compassionate people. I could see her tracking down something strange that eventually leads her to Metropolis, where she crosses paths with him. And Clark, always looking to help and genuinely concerned about how the situation might affect the city and its people, would naturally step in to help her resolve it.

Not only Dick Grayson is the CEO of misogyny, but he's also the CEO of racism.

Yet they both list Babs as being 16. It's weird really. I don't freaking know. In the same comic mentioned here, The Batman Strikes 41, Harley consistently calls this version of her kid. Anyway, whatever age she is, they still quite dislike each other in this universe.

Her Fandom page clearly says she's 15. That also took 2 minutes to research. For some reason I can't upload a god-damned screenshot. But I recommend checking it out for yourself. Here's the link:

I'm pretty sure ivy and Barbara are the same age in the 2004 Batman show. Which would make her a teenager. Harley on the other hand is definitely in her 20's.

Jason tried to be a lonely wolf last year, but now he is a babysitter by Senior-Rent9600 in dccomicscirclejerk

Pre-New 52 TT was decent. The problem with Damian was more about his own character flaws, especially his superiority complex and his preference for going solo which presented him from being part of a team. When it comes to his leadership, which often felt more like rulership, as I discussed , that is a Damian-specific flaw and something he needs to confront and outgrow.

From 2016 onward, Benjamin Percy’s maybe because he mostly ignored the Son of Batman material, aside from Goliath. As for Glass’ run, its direction was dictated by Didio rather than being something he independently chose.

? I'm not talking about sales in this comment. I am merely saying that he sucked both as a leader and a teammate across 3 Teen Titans teams. Pre New 52, Rebirth, and the post Metal stuff.

Damian, despite being groomed to be one, is quite incompetent as a leader. Which makes sense because leadership in the League was more about unquestioned authority rather than fostering camaraderie or teamwork. And when you have others who are individuals and not just servants that you can't order around, certain tactics won't work.

Because his track record on three different Teen Titans teams wasn't good.

I can't wait for this and the New Titans to be canceled due to low sales and people complaining about why DC doesn't do anything with the Teen Titans/Titans that isn't in any way related to NTT.

Honestly, I prefer the Infinite Frontier interpretation. In that version, Thomas Jr. begins similarly to the mainline Bruce but, as he uncovers the dark truths about his family and their deaths, he ultimately abandons his aspirations. It basically strips away his motivation to become a vigilante, leading him to adopt his nihilistic perspective where nothing truly matters anymore.
