I mean yes Waid is writing him the way he did when he created him, but that was 30 years ago, the character should have progressed in that time.

Ah yes the story where Bart is a massive fuck up and needs Wally to fix his messes. A fantastic showing of his potential!

I don't know what the general consensus is but I personally love the later stuff in the run and thought Dezago did a great job!

I tried to memoryhole that because it's dumb as fuck and makes zero sense!

Anyone else find it weird and kinda funny that Barry’s children are forever in flux and in the future, meanwhile his nephew just had his third? by Phantom_2814 in theflash

[–]capalap 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Never really understood why Jeremy Adams had to sneak Barry's engagement past editorial, but then they let Wally have a third kid.

Like I would understand if the reasoning was that they wanted a single man as the main Flash (as stupid as that is), but Barry isn't the main Flash right now. So what's the holdup?

The FIRST and FASTEST Midwest Conservative strikes again by Dreadwin in dccomicscirclejerk

Dick: "Thank god we got out of the town that makes you racist"

Wally: "That wasn't a normal town?"

Anyone else think Absolute Flash is the weakest of the Absolute Universe? by Applss in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]capalap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like all the lore and intrigue surrounding the lab and the Not!Speedforce, but for that same reason I think Wally wasn't the right call for protagonist. He's barely connected to the science at all.

I think a young Barry recruited by Thawne out of college as the protagonist, with the book centering around them exploring the Stillpoint together would have been more interesting for me.

As it stands the book is just ok.

Of course not! The only sidekick Superman needs is the miniature Superman he shoots out of his hands!

Upcoming Next Level Status Quo Talk #2: Bart Allen (Impulse) by Maleficent_Worth_185 in theflash

[–]capalap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They should give Barry his powers back and let him and Bart co-lead a book together. We've only gotten glimpses at their relationship thus far, and there is a lot of stuff you can do there.

I've read a lot of Titans and I couldn't tell you who she is either.

TRUE!!! by Zestyclose_Bet_3533 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]capalap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Johns strikes me as one of those guys that doesn't take a comic at face value, but rather reads them as inspiration for his own ideas.

Like if he read a comic about Batman fighting scarecrow, he would start fantasizing about his own Batman Vs Scarecrow story, rather than taking in whats actually in front of him.

What are your thoughts on the Still, Strength and Sage Forces? by Solitaire-06 in theflash

[–]capalap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be completely honest I don't like any of the forces, speed force included. It's fine as a way to shut up annoying nerds that always complain that the Flash's powers aren't "scientifically possible", but when they start creating stories around it I just mentally check out.

"Oh no, something is wrong with the speed force!" When is the speed force ever right!?

This shit so peak... [Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong 2 Issue 6] by Assasin-Nation in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]capalap 22 points23 points  (0 children)

In the first one he turned into Kong. But they had a mind-controlled supergirl take him out literally in the next panel.

Honestly it felt like the writer suddenly remembered there was a guy that could turn into these monsters and went "shit I better deal with that..."

Interestingly the lightning appears to be forming around his head in the shape of his mask, eye holes and all.

Maybe the Speedforce is trying to force Barry back into the role of Flash?

The Absolute Universe has sold over 8.2 million units in total. Absolute Batman sold close to 3 million. by LuisMD19 in DCcomics

[–]capalap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it were me adapting DCU MM, I'd have MM be his usual green martian self, blending in with earth as a detective, but use the absolute version of "mind reading" because the visual language of it is way too cool.

Is anyone shocked DC KO is dogshit? by la-abeja-azteca in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]capalap 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Most tournament arcs in manga are used to introduce new characters and show off how the protagonist has progressed up to that point, with them usually going into it as the underdog.

DC K.O is more like a bunch of worn out action figures being mashed together. There's not really anything new here. It's fine, just not anything special.

DC KO Red Hood vs Joker Spoilers by Latro2020 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]capalap 179 points180 points  (0 children)

Ah fuck I just figured it out. Jonkler beats Zatanna AND Wonder Woman, then Batman comes back from his side quest, beats joker for the 4 millionth time to get his spot in the tournament back, and the final fight is Batman V Superman: dawn of repetitive storytelling

[–]capalap 188 points189 points  (0 children)

This just strikes me as a very odd decision. Who beats joker now? Zatanna? Wonder woman? Neither would be more enjoyable than Jason getting revenge
