>Batman is one of the comics that will going bi-weekly at DC Comics, after the big relaunch, this summer.

>Look for its writer for the last five years, Scott Snyder to change his plans as a result, to leave the title that made him an A-List comic book superstar and start writing – the secondary Batman title at the publisher – Detective Comics.

>Detective Comics will remain a monthly title. The decision to switch books is more likely to be remove Snyder from the event driven nature of some modern comics and of the pressure of writing the lead Batbook, and DC’s bestselling title. He will be more able to do as he pleases with he character.

>Here’s the bigger question though; with Scott Snyder on board, will Detective Comics start to outsell Batman?

>We’ve been saying for a while that Top Cow owner and Image Comics founder Marc Silvestri was working on a new Batman comic book.

>And year after year, it hasn’t come close to being put on the DC Comics schedules, making us look a little like chumps.

>Well, I have been told that, as part of the DC Comic Rebirth relaunch project, that Marc Silvestri’s Batman will be one of the comics that will finally be scheduled. Possibly even for 2016!

And of course, the classic

>I have been told to be careful about what I report regarding certain people being attached to certain projects. In that I understand that, just as with the New 52, some people are writing for an upcoming new comic book unaware that what they re doing is actually pitching for that comic – and competing with others for that gig. One person who I was guaranteed by some to definitely be working on a high profile book is not, I’m told, actually locked down on it yet and has competition. So I am treading carefully…

>>79512076
I don't understand why he says "us" when it's just Rich who says any of this shit.

>>79512088
>So I am treading carefully…
No you're trying to create an excuse for the fact that you're pulling all this shit outta your ass.

Jesus, didn't Rich show up here the day of the Rebirth announcement and express regret at being a sensationalist that's eventually proven wrong? And now he's doubling down on a full day of this stuff?

Am I in the minority saying that I like Detective/Action comics name better than the main titles? Too bad they couldn't keep the numbering.

>>79512164
Just because he regrets it doesn't change the fact that that's the only reason BC exists at this point. If he stopped doing that then he'd lose all ad revenue. A clickbait site doesn't just go "we're going to stop making clickbait" and expect to maintain their userbase.

I mean, the only thing BC has going for them beyond Rich's "rumors" is their Avatar Press shilling.

>So how is the publication schedule of Rebirth going to look for the upcoming DC Comics relaunch we have been going on about for an age?

>Here’s how it’s going to go, as far as I understand it.

In February, Batman #49
In March, Batman #50
In April, Batman #51
In May, Batman #52
In the first half of June – either Batman #Rebirth or Batman Rebirth #1
In the second half of June, Batman #1
In the first half of July, Batman #2
In the second half of July, Batman #3.

>All the books being relaunched as part of the DC Rebirth (and no, I don’t know how that will affect mini-series half way through their runs) will get a special Rebirth issue before their new #1. And those that are bi-weekly, like Batman, will get that first issue in the same month as their Rebirth issue.

>I have no idea what’s in it, or what it will mean. But I am asking.

Can't this fucker just release all the news at once instead of his multiple clicks shit.

>>79512388
But this gives him more of that sweet ad money from people who aren't blocking.

>>79512388
Clicks are life, clicks are love.
I love when news website in my country puts headline with BIG letters because it's IMPORTANT.
Then in news you read "if you want to find out more, click here to go to some other site".

>>79512396
>Not using Adblock
That's just silly

I really hope this gets superman some good talent and another editorial team. I'm currently reading 0 DC books and I actually like DC

Tell me about non-Batbooks pls

>>79512426
A lot of middle aged people don't use adblock, which is a huge audience for superhero comics.

>>79512221

but black mirror was mediocre at best
just like his gates of gotham and all of his run on nu52 batman

>>79512056
I assume we're going to get an actual Rebirth announcement from DC this week or maybe next then

>>79512446
Kek there is some truth to that

I really hope DC makes an announcement on CBR or somewhere in between these Rich Johnston posts.

>>79512426
I think we should make a petition to get Berganza off the Superman editorial.

>>79512523
Someone needs to expose him as a sexual predator or something. DC will get some flak, but the quality of superman books will improve in the long term.

>>79512446
Also somebody on cellphone.

>>79512328
Oh God, calling the book Batman #Rebirth would be just stupid enough that I can believe it.

>>79512445
Flash might get a new team since Van Jensen has said he's off

GL is probably getting a new artist, Venditti will probably stay

Sinestro is getting a new artist or maybe just cancelled

>>79512523
Its crazy how someone who has had mediocre books after mediocre books for years still has this gig

>>79512063
>and start writing – the secondary Batman title at the publisher – Detective Comics.

He says that like its a bad thing. That title gives writers plenty more room to breathe.

>>79512542

>Venditti will probably stay

this guy ruined this series. why keep him, DC?

>>79512533
He was exposed as a sexual predator years ago. All they did was demote him then shove him in a less public position while making it so he only works with other men to avoid another scandal.

Nothing will get Berganza fired. At best, he'll just get moved to a less important editorial division like Titans.

>>79512557
Berganza already runs Titans. At DC it's "bat-family" and "other books."

Holding out for E2/JSA news

>>79512557
I thought he was already editing Titans

>>79512539
Every book is being rebirthed. Batman is just being used as an example.
Here's how it goes.

- Final issue.
- Rebirth Issue.
- New #1 issue.

>>79512557
>>79512570
>>79512576
He's been on Titans even before he was on the Supes line

Uh..this sounds stupid. Batman is already selling high. Do they want it to sell in millions now? Marvel's relaunched titles are already selling low.

>>79512582
>giving all the books a #1 when Marvel's latest attempt shows that no longer works
Granted a lot of those just continued with the same writers...

>>79512603
New #1's is the name if the game, I hate it but... fuck do we know. If this doesn't pay off, I see some serious repercussions for Dan and the Gang,

>>79512601
They figured "well Batman sells really well, so let's have it double ship so we can get twice as much Batman sales." Marvel did it all the time with Amazing Spider-man.

>>79512221
>Does this mean we're finally getting some Black Mirror level shit again?

Is there a more overrated story here bros? It was ok at best. Jock's art really elevated it.

When I least heard, it wasn’t quite locked down, but it was expected to happen by all parties.

>Ex-CIA operative King, though relatively new to comic books, has had an impressive run of work so far and is one of Scott Snyder’s gang at DC Comics.

>Bleeding Cool was the first to report that Scott Snyder would be leaving the Batman monthly comic he has flourished on, as it goes bi-weekly and starts from a new #1 as part of the DC Rebirth relaunch project. And that Snyder will instead take on the also-relaunched-but-staying-monthly Detective Comics, also starring Batman.

>Recently, Bleeding Cool also announced that Tom King was leaving Grayson early. Well, those new bi-weekly issues don’t write themselves…

>>79512328

This doesn't add up. I bet the "Rebirth" issues are gonna be one-shot jumping on points. So the Rebirth issues will end saying "continued in Batman #53" or whatever.

I have a feeling they're cautious about rebooting their entire line, especially their long-running flagship books like detective and action. Flash and GL probably should though. They won't simply copy Marvel.

>>79512629
Dickbats confirmed.

>>79512630
>>79512629
>Batman stealing King from Dick
Fuck sake
Im assuming Batman will be more Batfam central now while DC is purely about Bruce

>>79512642
With Damien, pls.

>>79512601
>>79512603
Marvel's big problem with the relaunch was having Secret Wars in the middle. If your average casual reader who's only buying one or two books comes in and gets told the books they wanted had ended, they won't come back in four or five months for the new issue one.

If it had been set up as Final Issue, Transitional Issue, New Number 1 without skipping a month, you wouldn't have lost the cherry pickers and they'd have been able to follow it.

>>79512629
>>79512630

But who's going to save Green Lantern now?

>>79512629
>King on DC's biggest title, which would probably stave off Marvel's attempts to make him sign an exclusive
>But not on GL

I'm deeply conflicted about this

>>79512629
>>79512630

Well it will easily be better than Snyder's embarrassing run. Shame Capullo was wasted on him.

>>79512657
I cant wait to watch people like you turn on King, itll be hilarious

>>79512654
>King on DC's biggest title, which would probably stave off Marvel's attempts to make him sign an exclusive
They should offer him Old Man Rogers or Bucky, not fucking Vision.

>>79512678
>people like you

YOU DONT KNOW ME.

>>79512630
This is it. This is when /co/ turns on King.

Either that, or everyone keeps trying to be the first one to turn, that /co/ as a whole just skips that phase and stays as Kingfags

>>79512642
More like it is going to be Dick as a spy and Bruce as Batman working together probably.

>>79512647
Happened with Snyder, might as well happen with King too.

>>79512678
I think it ready started yesterday.

>>79512711
People like you will keep showing up in storytimes saying he's overrated, when his quality still shows, if that's what you mean.

>>79512685
Given the fan reaction to Vision and how they're pushing it Marvel will probably offer him something bigger like with certain other writers assuming he doesn't just focus on Batman.

>>79512678
>>79512711

Ok samefag, we get it.

>King on Batman
>/co/ will hate him in a year
Fav this post

>>79512711
Vision launched right when they announced Omega Men was done, people started to turn on him because it all fed into the company wars BS.

>>79512652
Rob Williams. He's British. He's sci-fi enthusiast. He's writing cosmic level mindfuckery in MM (sorta). What more do you want?

>>79512056
>Another fucking relaunch

Apathy abounds. At this rate just expect the big two to relaunch ever 2 years.

>>79512063
Wow it never occurred to me that Snyder was somehow pressured to deliver these overblown events all the time. I just assumed he was obsessed with destroying Gotham every five weeks, and the Joker. Maybe he doesn't deserve all of the blame, after all.

I have no doubts that King could write a good Batman (I love Grayson, but I'm too intrigued to be mad right now), but the bi-weekly thing doesn't sound so great. He seems like a guy who puts a lot of effort into his scripts.

>>79512736
For him not to be MEDIOCRE AS ALL FUCK

>>79512759
Marbel are already doing it every 6 months

>>79512761
Omega Men and Grayson go, that's two issues a month

>>79512761
Well Omega Men is already cancelled and he's off Grayson starting next issue or the one after.

>>79512774
You can't get any worse than Venditti and he's not mediocre. His 2000 AD work is the shit and MM is awesome. KYS.

>>79512819
Dont try talk with GLfags, theyll just keep crying till Johns is back on the book

>>79512788
Damn. I knew about OM but I was hoping he'd stay on Grayson. That's my favorite book. :(

I do want to see his Batman though. Conflicted.

>>79512711
>This is it. This is when /co/ turns on King.
We already started turning on him. Didn't you see all the "Tom King is an SJW" threads?

>>79512759
Yeah, Rebirth better be a big deal to spur a line wide relaunch.

This really has the potential to bite DC in the ass. We saw how quickly sales dropped for Marvel after their recent #1 fiasco. I'm really curious how LCS and causal fans are going to take it.

>>79512851
Almost 500 post.

>>79512869
I don't mind. Aquaman and JL #1 came out 5 years ago, I won't slit my wrists over that.

>>79512851
Kink me.

>>79512869
Yeah but that was one thread, and at least 70% of the people in there were going off-topic or making fun of it.

>>79512869
Well people are already shitting all over Rebirth thanks to being told or assuming it's a line wide relaunch.

>>79512884
Link I meant

>>79512851

>>79512642
I hate to dash your hopes but Bruce is just now returning to the cowl no way are they gonna put Dick anywhere near Batman even with King as the writer

Well that's disappointing

Marvel's problem are the same shitty writers taking the reign's, so much so that some of DC writers are helping marvel in their slump.

>>79512918
Because Valiant is a clean slate, he can do whatever the fuck he wants. On GL all he's done are pointless retcons, that's his biggest achievement.

I love how this is supposed to be a secret but he keeps bringing it up. Creative teams are unaware that they're only pitching the titles but Rich the leech knows this, furthermore, he's making this information public knowledge and expects this to remain a secret. Rich is so full of shit.

>>79512926

Ok. So what books have a chance of avoiding relaunch? Do you think they're relaunch Superman and Batman but keep AC and DC's numbering? I collect Action and I'd hate to see it go back to #1 so quick.

I'm concerned Rebirth is going to turn into a jumping OFF point like Secret Wars was...

>YFW Rebirth is about leaving the current main DC Earth and focusing on another.
>52 issues of that before focusing on another earth.

Don't lie /co/, you would love this.

>>79512918
Lower standards from people that read Valiant?

>>79512629
But I want him on GL ;_;

>>79512926
They finally killed Superman/Wonder Woman
and Batman/Superman
good those books are terrible and mainly pad out superman's line rather than their own

>>79513002
And I want to buttfuck She-Hulk but it's not to be.

>>79512832
Nah nigga most of us are crying for King to take over

Johns seemed pretty burned out by the end anyway

>>79512582
Wonder what Johns/Sciver are working on then.

I know he teased a Gary Frank collaboration when he quit Superman, that hasn't surfaced yet (not E1 Batman).

The obvious answer is Shazam, but that's been that obvious answer for 4 years now so fuck that.

>>79512973
>I'm concerned Rebirth is going to turn into a jumping OFF point like Secret Wars was...

This.

All my LCS are currently getting hit hard because Marvel sales have tanked. Casual (and even some more hardcore) fans jumped ship because of Secret Wars.

Hell even the big Marvel guy at my store has stopped picking up Marvel and is going with a mix of DC/Image instead.

>>79513024
I bet it's gonna be the central Rebirth book.
DC: Rebirth. It'll be the foundation of the relaunch.

>>79513024
Maybe it was earth one batman?

but the whole rise of the seven seas arc. if they are rebboting all how are they going to do it?

Khalid/E2/JSA pls

>>79513037
Maybe it'll be the first Aquaman/JL arc

>>79513037
Just like how all those Flash plans were dropped when Flashpoint came around. Remember Geoff had a shit load planned?

>>79512076
It has to be a mini because Silvestri can't seem to handle deadlines, just look at his Hulk run,

>>79513029
SW hasn't deterred me from Marvel but their BS transparency has.

So i've been reading maybe 3 marvel books and More DC and Image books.

Stop that. Its a relaunch and RoSS is still possible under these conditions

>>79513048

>>79512959
He wrote a novel about Dick

>>79512926
>Batman/Superman
I don't see why they'd do it. It isn't selling too bad. They just need to get a better creative team, the art is boring and suck and Pak is a hack.

Yeah, no, fuck you. Cancel that shit and put the artist on a Plastic Man ongoing.

>>79512926
Great. Grayson and Midnighter were my favorite books. And I don't want all those whiners to get Nightwing back, and I don't believe Dickbats will happen. Lame.

>>79513070

You think it'd sell? Even with digital?

>>79513070
E2 will just get a reboot/rebirth again probably. Just because it aint cancelled doesnt mean they arent going to overhaul it

>>79513067
Unclear. Darkseid War ends in April so unless JL double ships or doesn't end in June I don't think there's time

Also Hitch and Johns said they were planning a JL/JLA crossover (fuck knows how or why though)

>>79513081
If it launches in a month with very few #1's then I see it surviving until 12.

>>79513099
Theres nothing to say Johns is leaving JL post-Rebirth

>>79513099
>Unclear
Figures. Oh well, wait and see. As usual.
>JL/JLA crossover
Didn't hear about this. I guess lot of time travel would be involved.

>>79512946
He got to do whatever he wanted, with GL too, and with it he undid everything that Johns did.

>>79513129
Yeah that's why I suggested ROTSS might be the first Rebirth arc for JL and Aquaman

>>79513136
Johns probably killed Venditti's GL husbando.

>>79513160
We all miss Jack T Chance, that's no excuse

This has been coming for a bit. Remember the "stop Batgirling" decree that came down from on high? This is the reaction to that.

Speaking of Batgirl, I'm curious if this means that Burnside is over. I'm love a return to the early nu-52 suit and a different creative team.

Now that an ex CIA is writing Batman, will CIA be included as a supporting character in his run?

>>79513172
Meat and potatoes? Ha.

>>79513183
No

>>79513070

>Cancel Batman/Superman and Superman/Wonder Woman
>Launch a new Biweekly Trinity book to try to get that Batman vs Superman money

>>79513172
Batgirling was still working for Batgirl so i doubt it
They just meant stop doing it to every new book

>>79513203
>>Launch a new Biweekly Trinity book to try to get that Batman vs Superman money

I'd be ok with this.jpg

>>79513172
Why would it be over if it was semi-successful fir Babs? It just means DC won't try to apply it to other books anymore, where it failed to have similar effect.

>>79513172
>Speaking of Batgirl, I'm curious if this means that Burnside is over.
I really doubt it, did you see Batgirl's new costume already made it into a DTV? They're not getting rid of that

I'm pretty sure the meat and potatoes is mostly in reference to DC's A-list characters and JL members, they gotta get back to basics

I'm sorry to hear this. I really just don't like the burnside suit.

IMO the early nu52 design was one of the best she has had in awhile. Really would love to see it or something like it back one day.

>>79513325
I'm not fan of Burnside costume, either. She looks like car mechanic.

That's fucking terrible. The art changes will be unbearable and writers will shit out mediocre scripts just to reach the deadlines.

>Remember the "stop Batgirling" decree that came down from on high?
Fuck off Rich. Just because you keep saying it doesn't make it true.

>>79513492
Depends of the creative team.

There was a biweekly run of X-files comics back in the 90s that was GOAT and the writing/art never suffered.

As long as the new team knows what it is getting into and has the lead time needed, then it should be fine.

>>79513492
They want to catch up with Marvel in the marketshare. In reality most Marvel books that double ship don't do it every month because of delays

He was for a while and he has big plans for Rebirth according to Newsarama article.

I actually picked up the DCC statue based on this. Have it next to the Arkham Knight DCC statue that came out last summer.

You're thinking of Dan Jurgens.

>>79513682
He says he's working on secret stuff and I doubt it's for Marvel

>>79513704
As garbage as Landis is, Sholly's Action back-ups during Morrison's run were great.

Goddamn that would be amazing.

>>79513540
Only real losses here are Grayson and Midnighter, and I'm pretty sure whatever King does next will have them involved somehow.

I wish I was a little sadder over Starfire too, but the book really wasn't going anywhere

>>79513735
Tom loves superman though, but I don't know if I want him on the main tittle

Doesnt mean theyre good at writing the character

>>79514147

>>79514348

So much this. It's so weird how people can spot Pak's mediocrity in every book he writes EXCEPT Action. For whatever reason that book has always gotten a pass on /co/.

>not wanting him killed off after he's been fixed so that he can't be ruined again
It's the only way to be sure

>>79514487

>>79514523
What? Pak gets a fucking pass on /co/ on everything he does. At least Action had Kudder on art.

I wonder if Marvel regrets not having young Steve Rogers as Captain America now.

The only way they could've bribed King into an exclusive is if they gave him a Steve Cap book.

We just had a conversation last week — the editors and I — about things that will take Dinah through the rest of the year. It's going to be a lot of fun.

>He’s seen as a safe pair of hands, a journeyman, a veteran editor-turned-comic creator. But when I’ve read his comics, I see him more as an inventive creative, innovative storyteller.

I feel bad for the guy a little. I talked to him at a con and he said that most people's favorite issues of Grayson that he knows of are the ones King wrote. Seeley is pretty solid on the book too though, and his pitch is what dominated most of the book's existence as well, it's not just King doing it alone

ok see, i like tomasi, i honestly do, but this is stupid as hell.

>>79514772
Tomasi is solid. I really liked his B+R run.

Better this than another oddball pick like Yang.

>>79512603

Spacing the new launches out over four or five months didn't help I'm sure.

>>79514288

Those Superman books might be good, might be shit, depends on whether they quickly shove them into another crossover again.

New Green Lantern starring Jessica makes sense, don't want her to fail like Simon.

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps...hinting to what the movie plans will be like?

It is, just "digitally inked" over

>>79514817

>>79514772
Yeah I'm done with Superman for now. His Superman/Wonder Woman was trash

>>79514818
He's good when he's not doing corporate runs. His B&R and GLC were better or as good as the main title.

>>79514739
>wanting GCS with modern Harley

Selina and ivy would be completely overshadowed by wacky 4th wall antics

>>79514833
He writes a good Jason in the arkham tie in.

So who's going to be the new Batman artist? I hope they get Sean Murphy.

>>79514833
Yang is an up and coming bright star in the industry of comics. His American Born Chinese or Shadow Hero are far far greater than any garbage Tomasi has shat up.

>>79514840
They would have driven LCSes out of business if they'd done them all in one or two months

>>79514851
No problen.

>>79514703

Seeley's pretty underrated imo and there's more of him in Grayson than people think. He should get another project.

>>79514861
His B&R was awful.

>>79514864

B-But Sirens bro. That title was perfect and it ended in a sour note. I can't have that, I don't care if it is N52 Harley. I just need a new Sirens stories

>>79514828
Tomasi's been poaching off Morrison's Bat-ideas for close to five years now, I see someone dumb making that assumption

>>79514847
It's disgusting. Big 2 comics need to stop doing that or at least make it less noticeable.

>>79514697
All this says is that they have plans for black canary. That doesn't mean solo plans. She could be headed to Birds of Prey.

>>79514833
I wish they kept Yang. It was his first time he was writing monthlies and they directly put him on a crossover. I wanted to see how he'd do if he was doing his own thing.

Not arguing that he isn't a good writer, he just isn't a good fit for capes. He's out of his element.

It was a stunt hire for sure, like giving Meredith Finch (a woman writer!!!!!) Wonder Woman.

>>79514895
I bet you like Snyder's Batman.

>>79514917
They should put Yang on Atom with Sonny Liew.

Tomasi's very middle of the road and safe. Better than a lot of guys DC has around the same tier, like lobdell probably jurgens

>>79514933
Shadow Hero IS cape. The problem with Yang is that they came out and said "we're doing story>continuity!!!! oh but, Gene, here's Superman, he's slightly depowered and involved in a status quo shake up where his identity has been revealed".

>>79514890
Maybe he'll stay with Nightwing and continue all the spy stuff

>>79514957

Tomasi was an editor first, maybe he can deal with Eddie b

>>79514861
>>79514833
I still don't get why people praise his B&R. He just ignored all the great developement Damian got in Morrison's run and made him an insufferable cunt TWICE for no apparent reason, to both Dick and Bruce.

That's like saying "okay I don't know what to write, how about I just re-do what's already been written but in twice as many issues?" Sure.

>>79514961
I see they are shuffling creators on every big book. With Superman, Batman and WW having new writers, I'm still holding out for new teams on GL and Flash.

>>79514941

>>79514908
>at least make it less noticeable
You are the part of the problem.

>>79514994
Because the lowest common denominator eat up cheesy overblown melodramatic shit. Everyone hate his run until they he made baby Damian wear the one of Bruce's old costume, the "look mommy, I'm a bat" page(building up on what you just said, Tomasi yet again retcons what Morrison did with the character in that scene).

Literally end your life with a butter knife.

>>79514772
>He’s a Grant Morrison without his reputation.

Oh man. He's good, but that makes no sense whatsoever.

>>79514945
I seriously can't name 3 writers at DC right now that would be worse than Tomasi. I wouldn't name Jurgens as one of them, they're quality is about the same.

>>79514945
>Tomasi's very middle of the road and safe.

To be honest, in the wake of the colossal failure of Truth, this is probably the right call.

That's been the problem with New 52 Superman in general. It's always changing things up and reinventing the wheel when it never really laid the groundwork with solid stories first.

>>79514994
>>79515047

Agreed. So overrated here, easy sentimentality was about it.

>>79515068

That's what I meant tho, they want like a jurgens to keep the superbooks steady

Maybe? At least Levitz USED to be good once.

With Midnighter cancelled, maybe Orlando and aco will write Flash.

>aggressively mediocre with the occasional moment where shown they could be good writers

More like aggressively shit maybe

>>79515260
Daniel has written Batman/Detective for 4 years, that Hawkman abomination book, current volume of Deathstroke. That's a lot.

I really want Orlando to do more, I think he's as good as King but hasn't got the acclaim. His Shazam is my fav part of Darkseid War

>Midnighter dates Pied Piper

>I understand that, as part of the upcoming DC Rebirth project, DC Comics will be launching a new Justice Society Of America comic book.

>Currently in the New 52, there was no Justice Society in the forties fighting in World War II. The analogous team fought on Earth 2 instead.

>But now, not only will this active team of superheroes be revealed, along with an explanation as to why no one remembers them, but they will be brought forward, young, to the present days, fishes out of later, fighting alongside the Justice League of America.

>Their presence may also tie into the changing realities that the member of Titans Hunt are experiencing, remembering memories of each other that never were…

I would literally wank to that.

At least Pied Piper would be honest about his identity.

>>79515280
I think he'll write a new Authority/Stormwatch book.

Someone needs to save Wildstorm, maybe him and Seeley will work on the properties. I know Seeley really loves WildCATS.

glad to see Midnighter will be in something after his solo ends

>>79515338

>Tieing world shattering events on a pretty boring comic book that sells like shit

Somehow I'm not buying into this.

>>79515338

Inb4 it's writers from Legends of Tomorrow


Glad they're finally hypertimeing it and bringing back pre-nu52 stuff people liked

Oh God

>>79515338
My dick is hard.

If anything, DC should double down on its plans to bring back Hypertime and make two solo ongoings for the DC Trinity and other big heroes.

>"Superman" & "Man of Steel"
>"Batman" & "The Dark Knight"
>"Wonder Woman" and "The Princess of Power"
>Or something like that
>You catch my drift

>>79515280
I don't think Aco would be a great fit for Flash, but he's perfect of Midnighter. I'd also put Orlando on Wonder Woman.
