JSA Storytime: Batman and the Outsiders

>>86102364
Hello Storyteller.

Does Santa exist in the DCU? Surely several characters must've met him by now.

Hi OP.

Today proves that the best comics day of the month is whenever Flintstones is out.

there is a comics God Dog out there looking out for us, and I suspect her name is "Marie Javins"

Cyborg was surprisingly good

What else does she edit apart from Deathstroke?

>>86102642
Eh, we'll see. Pres had the constant "THIS SI THE BESTEST EVUR" posts too but I'm hoping it's all one the same guy.

>>86102634
Halo's super-family thing is really charming even being slightly dated. She has a super-mom and a super-dad and a super-big-brother and it's great.

I probably couldn't say anything about the quality of Nyx now, which was one of the first American comics that I read when I was pretty young. But it reminds me of the finding a family vibe in that. I always want to see these characters grow and pass it on and take that supporting, familial happiness to other characters themselves.

Javins is now head of the H-B line and brought us both Prez and ASS8 and now SP/DW. She does Special Projects and now, apparently, it's more of a system at DC wherein people can request their editor.

Honestly I haven't read much that came out today. Supergirl was ok I guess, liked how the thread derailed into Brainy discussion for a bit.

>>86102436
He did, then Lobo killed him

>>86102701
Second best is that bit in Seinfeld where Jerry breaks up with a woman when they both say, with a smile, "I hate you!"

>>86102702
What impresses me about the Flintstones is how precise and on-point everything is. Even the throw-away jokes are pretty cutting, and it casts a wide net.

>>86102701
It was such a bad ship. I don't know what they were thinking.

I wonder if the letters columns had people bitching about it too.

>>86102749
We don't need Krypton, man. Just do some Braniac family comics.

>>86102749
Flintstones was the only thing I read today

apparently every other book on my pull list comes out next week though

Whatever, I'll take it. At least this ship is over now.

>>86102436
Spectre Hal got to hang out with Santa a little!

>>86102825
In 2016 this would probably be "I don't love you, but I'm still down to fuck"

Though the 80s Captain Atom run we read did just that so I'm probably talking bullshit.

>>86102734
>Javins is now head of the H-B line
Is this a recent thing? because I remember Russell saying Didio called him up for Flinstones. Anyway, she and Khouri fucked up with Clock king beign two different people between Deatshtroke and Green Arrow.

That one got me, as did the reason for Fred's catchphrase

>>86102884
Surely, out of all villains, that kind of still works for Clock King?

>>86102884
Deathstroke Clock King was dying anyway, maybe he recruited a legacy

>>86102846
That was a weird issue. He fucking saved Christmas from Scrooge.

I got a nice chuckle out of that Kite Man page.

>>86102884
There are two Clock Kings anyway, the Batman one and the Green Arrow one. It's a long messy story.

every issue of Spectre Hal's run could probably count as a weird issue, to be honest. I love that book so much

And Cyborg was actually pretty good. We saw some more obscure characters in a short cameo of what's to come presumably.

I've seen some folks express the desire to have Diana as their mom.

Speaking of, this whole Super Sons thing is weird to me. Not because it doesn't have a Wondy character in it. No, it's weird because it made me realize that Diana will probably never have a canon child. And the obvious reasons for that are fucking stupid too.

>>86103935
When I think mommy kink I think of age play/infantilism while daddy kink doesn't automatically go there, don't know if that's how other people think about it too but maybe that's why

The most enjoyable of his Marvel work to me was the Chamber miniseries he did, so it's possible that he really needs a hard and fast end to be writing towards.

Saga was enjoyable at the start, but really started to drag around the time drug-addicted pro wrestling happened.

>>86104305
>No, it's weird because it made me realize that Diana will probably never have a canon child. And the obvious reasons for that are fucking stupid too.
Well, Earth 2 Diana had Lyta at least

I think the main JL members have all had canon main universe kids by this point now except Diana and Hal (J'onn did but not Cyborg, I guess)?

>>86104377
I make that association for male-female mommykink, not really for female-female mommykink. Male infantilism is one of my do not want fetish buttons though.

Well, I mean, she is. Being Diana's sister is one of the few consistent things about Donna's past. Apparently whatever force that causes her anomalous properties has latched on to Themyscira, Diana, and the Teen Titans.

1) Either Clark or Bruce would be the father, because editorial is retarded and keeps forgetting that she has her own supporting cast. Also, barring Steve be the father, a lot of people seem to forget that adoption is a thing.

2) Due to editorial being retarded about feminism specifically, the idea of motherhood would either be portrayed in extreme negativity(having a kid is weakness, you're just a baby factory now) or extreme positivity(motherhood is awesome and you should have a kid as soon as possible or you're a child hater).

3) The idea of a child Amazon will never be as well explored as it could be because nobody can fucking decide how the Amazons work.

This really makes me hope for a similar mom dynamic with Janet and the new Wasp.

Well, he definitely had some evil doctor that ended up betraying him.

Also, there was a real Matches Malone, and Batman got him killed.

I kinda want someone's villain origin to be running into Rex or Mercury from the Metal Men and going insane from the chemical exposure.

Yes, there were. Considerably less than there had been, but they did still exist in that decade.

Man, I actually feel a little bad for Dr. Moon here. I mean, sure, he's working for some criminal scumbag, but he's possibly the least evil evil doctor I've ever seen in a comics issue. Hell, he had a better bedside manner, than plenty of doctors I've had to deal with, myself.

I wonder if there's a specific medical school you go to to become a supervillain doctor. They could swear a hypocritic oath.

Great stuff.
