Pity, but not surprising at all.

Jesus how slow is he?
Or did something happen with him?
I'll take Rude as a substitute. The Dude is fantastic.
Will you buy it /co/?
No.
>>84188692
It will just fail me, like it failed everyone on the show.
>Chibi shit
Gross. I'd but a figma or something, but not this.
>every Green Lantern from Earth is American
Why is this allowed? There are, what, 6 Earth GLs, shouldn't there be at least one from China? Or India? It made sense when there was only Hal, but this is absurd.
>>84188616
John Stewart is all the diversity you need you fucking racist.
But yeah, I think the GL in Batman Beyond was Thai or Chinese.
>every Green Lantern in Sector 2814 is from Earth
>>84188616
There was a leprechaun GL, does he count as Irish
Are the Ghostbusters comics any good?
Yeah.
2 3 and 4 look alright, 1 and Stay Puft? look like shit. Have no interest in the actual reboot though.
>>84188579
jesus they're actually making the logo ghost a character?
Spinning out of the events of DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH #1, a new day dawns for Earth's greatest heroes as they welcome three new members to the team, including... Superman? Who is this strange visitor from a dead world -- and can he be trusted? Batman and Wonder Woman aren’t so sure.
>You’re writing the new JUSTICE LEAGUE, which is now going to be drawn by Tony S. Daniel and Fernando Pasarin. Have you worked with them before?
I’ve never written for another artist before. JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA was essentially my first writing assignment. I’ve written creator-owned stuff, but that’s not quite the same as writing a company comic on this kind of schedule. Fortunately, I’m a fast writer, slow artist.
>I didn’t realize you hadn’t written for other artists before!
No, it’s all been a bit of a learning curve, honestly. Fortunately, though, with artists that good, you just need to give them the right amount of information and let them get on with what they do best.
>I spoke with Tony Daniel shortly after this comic was announced and he was extremely complimentary about working with you. The fact that you’re a fellow artist seemed to make the whole process that much more exciting for him.
I think it’s really just about giving him as much information as he needs and no more than that. I know what it’s like when someone’s telling you where to put every detail—“Put this on the right! Put this in the background!” That doesn’t give an artist the freedom to be expressive, and what you want is for them to be inspired. So really, I think it’s just about getting the pacing and the beats right, and giving them the information they need to be able to set scenes.
I’m delighted with everything Tony’s doing. It’s just fabulous work. The first issue has got an opening sequence with Wonder Woman that I can guarantee will just knock everybody’s socks off. It’s extraordinary. Fernando, too, has been doing tremendous work. He’s insane enough to try anything you ask him to do no matter how crazy it is, and the result is just wonderful.
>So now that we’re just over a week away from the first issue, what can you tell us about the new Justice League comic?
There’s a slightly different character dynamic to the Justice League now. We still have Superman, Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Cyborg and Aquaman, so it still seems like it’s the same core characters. However, we have a different Superman. We have two Green Lanterns now, both of whom have very different experiences with the team. The team arrested Simon Baz, while Jessica Cruz tried to kill them, but she also had a long term relationship with the team. That’s going to bring a different dynamic than we had with Hal in the group. Having two rookies in the group also changes Victor’s perspective on the team because he’s no longer the rookie.
Victor and Simon have very similar backgrounds. They’re both from Detroit and to a degree they have both felt a little isolated and that they didn’t particularly belong anywhere. We also have a Superman that none of them know. I mean, at first glance he’s Clark. He’s Kal-El and Superman, but he has a whole wealth of experience that the other Superman didn’t have, and it’s a different experience. So there’s no relationship with them to start with. It’s a surface relationship. They know who he is, but Batman, who learned to trust the other Superman, is now working with someone new that he doesn’t trust. All the time Batman’s had a friendship with Superman, there was another Superman here all along. Why? What does that mean?
There’s going to be a reason for it and that’s going to drive their relationship in the early story arc.
>That Superman also would have had a relationship and experience with the prior Justice League. Is that something that also creeps into the story?
Absolutely. It’s right there in JUSTICE LEAGUE: REBIRTH #1. There’s a scene where chaos is raining down on the planet, and the League as it currently exists, without the two Green Lanterns and without Superman, are dealing with it. Superman sees stuff happening, but he’s been used to taking a back seat.
His real touchstone to the super hero world on this Earth is Lois. That’s his anchor and his heart—his family. The fact that this Superman is married and does have a child, that’s something you can’t conveniently forget just because you’re doing big scale Justice League stories. That emotion still has to drive through whatever you’re throwing at them, and it does. There are actually scenes between Batman and Lois which are just really powerful, emotionally speaking.
Superman comes into the first arc because they need him. Frankly, he’s the only one who can do what they need. Nobody else on Earth would have a chance at surviving, and Batman has to go and ask him to do it. But the driving force behind that scene is what he has to say to Lois. This could mean goodbye because there’s no guarantee he’s going to come back. It’s such a big thing that it’s doubtful that even Superman will survive it. But he has to do it because if he doesn’t, nobody on Earth will survive.

Hi Penny-fag.
Can you prove that?
How long till old Mikey runs Adult Swim into the ground?
>Cancelled Aqua Teen Hunger Force, China, IL Eagleheart, Frisky Dingo, Metalocalypse
and Moral Orel.
Is he also responsible for Korgoth of Barbaria not being picked up?
>>84188197
Korgoth was too expensive to keep making
>>84189927
BULLSHIT!
I dont get why people compare the two shows. This one is a comedy and the other was an action/ drama. I think they just want to find any reason they can to hate it. I dont get how people can say its a stupid show. Its no less ridiculous and silly than shows like Johnny Bravo and Edd Ed and Eddy the 90s babies love so much. I dont see how anyone can hate this but enjoy Cow and Chicken. I guess haters gonna hate. Teen Titans Go still has more views than the original show had so I guess the haters are watching it too.
I enjoyed the more comedic episodes of the first series, but this one takes the lazy shortcut of getting its jokes out of everyone being an unrepentant asshole and that's not as fun. Also, that episode they made that basically amounts to 'this version replaced the previous universe entirely' probably didn't help much.
>>84188040
Because the action/drama was a better comedy than the comedy driven show

Is that supposed to be Belasco?
Why does he have 2 arms?
Let's post some easter eggs from the movie
>Nairomi is in fact a fictional setting in the DC Universe -- and while it might not have the long history of Qurac or Bialya, it was referenced in Batman #79 way back in 1953, where the Dark Knight encountered the Shah of Nairomi. In that story, he competed with Batman for the affections of Vicki Vale.
>>84187980
>In The Adventures of Superman #427, the Man of Steel decided that he didn't trust the president of the aforementioned Qurac. He flew to the country to interrogate President Marlo about recent attacks in Metropolis.
When he arrives, Superman bursts directly into the presidential palace and pins Marlo to the wall. Soldiers try to stop him, but he melts their weapons with his heat-vision and dismantles a fair amount of their military infrastructure.
>The event caused an international incident and got into a lot of questions about whether Superman should have a role in international politics. Superman realized that it wasn't his place to shape the destiny of humanity and that people had to have free will.
>>84188083
But i thought that Superman only saved cats from trees and smiled, and that he saved anyone from everywhere. Did /co/ lie to me?
NOTHING AT ALL

Flattest ass in the world.
It's a shame, really.

Also I'm off work this coming 4th of July weekend and have an opportunity for another big storytime, and I'm considering either Arnold Drake's original 41 issue run of Doom Patrol from the Silver Age, or Rachel Pollack's 22 issue run that immediately follows Morrison's, and that I've never read before.
Let me know if you have a preference either way.
What does/co/ think of psylock?
Cool background character.
I don't think she's ever had an interesting or classic run of her own. Kind of like Colossus, Gambit, Jubilee
>>84187551
I like her better than any world-breaking mutant.
I do not know enough about the character, nor do I really care to know more about the character.
Sometimes I have a hard time telling her apart from X23, both being bladed long haired large breasted female character
Remember the 00's?
