>IN THE NEW DC UNIVERSE STORY TRUMPS CONTINUITY! What are

>>78204962
Why don't you read some comics they promoted using this phrase and tell us, you little piece of faggot hivemind shit?

>Darkseid War vs the characters in their own ongoings
>Bruce Wayne going to the funeral of Olive's mother in Gotham Academy without the beard but somehow being post-Endgame
>Superman/Wonder Woman apparently pretending like Lois revealed his identity because "hurr I'm a reporter" and not because she feared for his life

There's probably more

It basically means the writers can shit on each other freely now.

>>78205038
Forgot a huge one, Dick and Babs settling their shit in Grayson #12 and then Batgirl essentially redoing the same thing but in a stupid way.

Wonder Woman, Supes/WW has Diana completely different in tone and motivation from Justice League, and I was fucking shocked when they were mentioned as taking place around the same time.

This one too.

>>78205261
She wasn't that bad in it. I could buy that it's the same WW from like JL at least.

>>78204962
>STORY TRUMPS CONTINUITY
So it's the same as it's always been in every cape comic ever?

>>78204962
Haven't they already back peddled on this policy?

>>78205301
nope, we have Books set in the past and on different time frames yet

>>78205261
Pretty much anything with Amanda Conner doesn't exist in the New 52. Quinn is still stuck in Suicide Squad with a bomb in her neck, and Starfire went back to Tamaran, not Hawaii, at the end of Outlaws.

>>78205299
pretty much

I thought DC figured out a really neat way of organizing their events by having all the Endgame tie-ins be:

Gotham Academy: Endgame #1
Batgirl: Endgame #1
etc etc...

but why did they drop that with the Robin War? It went back to weaving through all the other books again. I hate that shit.

>>78205330
i think Starfire is canon though, Superman appeared and terra too

>>78205356
Probably because it didn't help sales on the ongoings enough.

>>78205301
No but they probably will soon since it confuses normies and LCS owners too much

Why are DC writers so fit? And why are Marvel writers so out of shape?

To be fair, Darkseid War still uses this system

Does Legend of Wonder Woman contradict the New 52 Wondy book?

>>78205436
Its an AU so no

>>78205356
I think its because the tie-ins aren't really that important in Robin War. So far, Academy just has a Robin thrown into the school, and Red Hood follows Arsenal and 'J.D' (ugh) on their own separate adventures. they are barely a tie in.

>>78205413

True. I hope they keep this system.

>>78205436
Yeah her origin is different

It's not meant to be new 52 Wondy though

>>78205436
About as much as Earth One will

>>78205021
this to be honest familia

>>78204962
Man I wish they would take that policy with Earth 2.
Just wipe the slate clean and start telling the story after Robinson left.

>>78205330

RHatO shouldn't be canon. Nor Teen Titans.

>>78205570
I think Abnett is going to try to fix it. Or at least put it out of its misery.

>>78204962
Isn't "Story trumps continuity" just another way of saying that they aren't competent enough to present their stories in accordance with continuity?

>>78205648
Interested in seeing if Pak can avoid the Titans curse

>>78205688
Not really

>>78205713
Nah, I think it does. It means you're promoting unnecessary retcons so you don't have to find a way to present your stories in a way that makes sense and doesn't degrade its quality. That's just laziness.

>>78205713

Honestly? No, Pak will keep trying to make Lobdell's Teen Titans work and fail. I don't know what it is, but for some reason everyone has to boy Lobdell wishes and changes to canon. He probably helped someone bury a dead hooker or something.

>>78205688
It's more like "We finally realized we spent the past decade being not competent enough, so we're just not gonna try anymore"

>>78205775
>promoting unnecessary retcons
To be fair, we got Starfire out of this shit, while yes the book is not hot shit its still funny and cute

>>78205775
It has nothing to do with retconning anything actually. I'm not sure why you think that. It mostly means that you aren't required to recap what's going on in another book if you want to do a guest appearance. Or that you don't have to change the costume for an appearance if you don't want to. Nothing has changed form how DC did continuity a year ago, 5 years ago, or 10+ years ago basically. They simply made a marketing slogan out of it.

>>78205800

Who the fuck would want them to respect Lobdell's work and characterizations? Who's out there being mad that somebody changed something Lobell did? Shit like that confuses my mind.

>>78205356
Because they want Robin War to make the ongoings' sales go up.

WAR, Gotham Academy, and RH/A are at cancellation level. Giving them oneshots will not help bring sales up.

>>78205800
The latest issue suggests what I've thought all along on Starfire actually, that's she's playing up the dumbness because she's being overly literal on "fresh start"

>>78204962
One aceptable example? Starfire. Ignore all the shit from Red Hood and the Outlaws.

>>78205688
It's more like "we realized that forcing writers to adhere to what we want has driven some away so we are becoming more lax".

Johns wouldn't be happy if he had to push Darkseid War back just to write Jim as Batman and a depowered Supes.

>>78205403
DC writers seems more fit like the Marvel ones. Who wins? This clowns or Bendis, Slottman & cia?

>>78205869
I hope Dick manages to set her straight, like telling her that she doesn't have to be dumb to get people to like her and she just needs to be herself or something.

>>78205403
Add Capullo to that picture and DC could literally beat up Marvel

>>78205869
>>78205934

I liked that they ignored the whole mess that Lobdell created in RHatO where they avoided each other because in the past one of them tried to kill the other.

Meanwhile at Marvel...

How can Humberto Ramos, a Mexican man living in Mexico surrounded by thick brown girls cooking delicious food end up so scrawny?

Answer: Dan Slott ate all of his food.

Marvel people are either fat or too skinny.

>>78206270
No idea, I want one of just Morrison and Johns

>>78205403
The best writers are fit writers. I refuse to read stuff by fat fucks like Gail Simone, and Bendis,

>>78206316
The best ship.

>>78206240
Nice vest Fraction you massive faggot.

>>78206558

Grant Morrison and Warren Ellis are the best ship.

>>78205403
>Two Marvel darlings front & center

>>78205951
Morrison grew up in Glasgow right? I'm sure he should have some crazy experience in brawls.

>>78205098
That was more like editors can't go against CamStew
