Watchmen sucked, but everyone clung to it because it made them less embarassed than admitting they read cape comics. Especially these days where you can take a college course where it is one of the readings and they fellate your ego about how smart you are for reading "graphic literature".

I look forward to it get shit on and Manhattan being just another bit bad in the DC universe.

>>90021782
Watchmen didn't suck. Different than 99% of comic book writers, Moore is a true literate. Or do you think that "great" comic book writers like fucking All Ewing are truly good writers? They couldn't write a good novel to save their lives.

The bad thing about Watchmen are the fans that think it is a Sacred Cow. Fuck them.

>>90021708
I haven't found Titans to be important at all. In that first arc Kadabra kept implying he knew something but then fucking nothing happened, and now it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Rebirth. So far that's true for Action Comics as well, the only thing is that Mr. Oz was standing around looking mysterious during that first arc. Hopefully in the upcoming Superman crossover something actually happens.

>>90021782
>Watchmen sucked
The edge

So, what's the deal with Rebirth? Have they reveal the schemer yet? Anybody a quick rundown for a nigga that's been out of touch for quite a bit?

>>90021882
It was confirmed to be Manhattan like a year ago, bro.
Read the special.

>>90021882
I don't think they've done everything relevant with it yet. Bats is preparing an army or something

>>90021882
The last page of the Rebirth one shot implies Manhattan is behind it, but nothings confirmed. There's also a guy named Mr. Oz (Ozymandius?) watching over the pre-flashpoint Superman, and he captured Doomsday at the end of the first Action Comics arc after Superman fought him. Also at the end of the first arc of Detective Comics, Tim Drake "died" but it turned out Oz got him out of harms way at the last second but is keeping him prisoner because he wants him "out of play". There also seems to be two other cells next to his we haven't seen into yet. Also in Action Comics, a new Clark Kent has appeared without superpowers to replace new52 Clark (pre-flashpoint Clark is keeping his identity as Clark White) and it's a mystery where he came from and why he remembers being a human born Clark. It seems the two Clarks and Oz stuff will be touched on in an upcoming Action Comics / Superman crossover. The watchmen button still hasn't been touched on, but will be in the upcoming Batman Flash crossover.

>>90021907
I know, but was talking more about the heroes in-story. Is there some crusade against him brewing, or are they going in circles still?

>>90022015
isn't this going for half a year or more already? feels dragged as shit

>>90021881
>The edge
Exactly, that's what made Watchmen terrible.
Alan Moore was a mistake.

>>90022057
Anon, Moore wrote the comic, not the edgy movie, learn the difference!

>>90022054

Not really. The point of Rebirth was to undo New 52 without throwing away everything it did. Doing so would piss off readers.

The next part is tying it into an event and they've been dropping hints here and there. The best part is that none of it is interfering with story arcs. It's just a mention here or there for some books.

>>90022054
Closer to a year at this point. This is their Rebirth storyline, and is designed to be drip fed for the most part except for one big thing happening few years. Like New52, it built slowly starting with just a few hints of what the story would be, then Trinity war and Forever Evil, then almost nothing again, then the big finish with Darkseid War

>>90022057
Friendly shout out from a fellow hater of Moore. Reading watchmen was about as enjoyable as diarrhea. It's one of the only books I stopped reading about 3/4th of the way through because I wasn't enjoying myself at all. 1984 is the other book.

>>90022054
DC doesn't want thise sweet sales to keep dropping, they need those times to get the sales up again.

>>90022057

Manhattan isn't so powerful. Superman one million is more powertful than him. The black creature from Multiversity is also more interesting than him.

>>90021003
Wait, why it's 3.99? I thought that they will only raise the monthlies prices?

>>90023537
It's $2.99 for the regular covers, $3.99 for the lenticular covers.

Yup, we had people exploding into blue lightning the second they figured out something weird was going on....a year ago. Then absolutely nothing whatsoever on it ever again.

They are definitely dragging this shit out

>>90024112
How long ago was that issue with Owlman being killed? Wasnpt that almost 2 FUCKING YEARS ago?

>>90024175
It was the final issue of Darkseid War, last May, the same day DCU Rebirth came out. It hasn't even been a year.

I dont think Watchmen is a sacred cow or anything (Good book, but a tad overrated), but this entire storyarc just seems forced and kind of dumb. I dont really care to see Dr Manhattan waving his blue dick around the DC universe and eventually get outsmarted by Batman of all people. Not to mention Id trade the inevitable Rorschach appearance for more Question any day. Not to mention we killed off the Crime Syndicate for this shit? Pass

No onw does that, no one would be mad if MORRISON or GAIMAN were making a short story about Manhattan just TALKING with IDK Miracleman watching the big bang.

Or if anyone of the calliber was making a small mini sequel.

Is not a sacred cow, it's just that DC doesnt has the TALENT to make a good use of the story. It's not a sacred cow, it's just that WE ALL KNOW is nothing but a stupid gimmick some executive told johns to use. And johns being the bitch he has always been did it without any care of how stupid and worthless the story will be. Anyone hyped over Johns use of the watchmen character should be forced to read Darkseid War 4 times in a row.

>>90026308

BUT admittedly I'm personally also a Moorefag and I'll forever denigrate DC for backstabbing him with the propriety

Please, one of you ass hats, would get pissed if dr. manhattan showed up in the last page of final crisis. It doesn't matter who wrote it, Alan Moore fanboys would cry foul.

>>90026782
>Please, one of you ass hats, would get pissed if dr. manhattan showed up in the last page of final crisis.

Yes, and you know why? Final Crisis INTRODUCED a Captain Atom that could play the role of DR Manhattan. Of course Captain Allen isnt just a selling gimmick like Manhattan is. Anyway, the point is that using them as a gimmick in an event is stupid. The idea of using them in final crisis would be equally stupid, Before Watchmen wasnt hated due the sacred cow status but the lack of quality and how much of a waste it ended up being, just like wildstorm or first wave.

Stop believing is all about being fan boys, it's just that Johns, or anyone on his team are just not good enough. We got 5 years od people like you defending Johns use of the new gods saying we just needed to have faith, Darkseid started and some of you guys were still believing he would deliver, it ended being shit.

There's nothing Manhattan brings to the table that Monarch, Captain allen, imperiex, krona, or anyone like them couldnt had done. We will get a shit story, batman will be useless, flash will make no sense and the "powerset" of the second wave of minutemen will make no sense.

>>90021587

Is he going to be in the main universe? Love to see in his interaction with Damian.

>>90027073
>Final Crisis INTRODUCED a Captain Atom that could play the role of DR Manhattan.

Captain Allen helped superman stop mandrakk, was the superman of his own world, and was a key part of president Harley's plan to use the power of superheroes to save the world. He's a bona fide superhero, that's the difference between him and manhattan. A character who learned of the importance of heroes in the great scheme of things by reading comic books can't be the villain of a event that puts hopeful, bright heroes against the cynism of the real world. I'm not saying that including Dr Manhattan wasn't, in some way, a sales gimmick (my pick for the villains of the event was the gentry or SBP), but, thematically, it really fits.

>>90028667
>but, thematically

It doesnt since the whole "meta" stuff either doesnt make sense since is bullshit, Watchmen inspired Sandman, and doom patrol, not Flashpoint or new52, or Johns is actually serious and he is an hypocrite, he is the father of superboy prime, by far the DC writer that likes gore the most,

>>90029001

Watchmen inspired a lot of things. To say a modern comic wasn't in some way inspired by Watchmen would be incorrect and flat out shows a poor understanding of comics.

>>90030668
Grim was nothing new before watcmen, most comics still didn't pick up deconstruction until the 90's.

It did inspire the slow removal of thought ballons.

>>90030731
