Floyd's been having a bit of a crisis of faith. Maybe constantly shooting your teammates, then executing a "freed" slave will do that to you

Alright, who is Black Alice? She is a Simone OC with frankly overpowered abilities. She can temporarily steal the powers of any magical user, but the length of time that she can hold them for is connected to how strong the being is

Clearly Bruce Wayne's playboy socializing is merely a front, and the so-called "Batman" is actually his vigilante lover.

So, who is this guy? Doesn't matter. I like to think that he is based off Clifford Olson, a Canadian serial killer who killed kids, and actually got the RCMP to pay him a shitload of money for the location of each body. He is mentioned in the Doll's House arc of The Sandman

>>91333726

Black Alice is also sixteen, so think clean thoughts

>>91333775
It's probably one of the reasons there's always such a high turnout. You know how rich people are. Imagine the thrill of being a hostage only for Batman to inevitably save you and beat up a bunch of heavily armed mercenaries in front of you.

>>91334004
16 is legal in a lot of places.

>>91333883
And considering said town has only about five people in it who aren't complete assholes, I think I'm okay with that.

Beh I hated Blackest Night. It wouldn't have been so bad if every single random title had to have a dumb crossover with it. I didn't understand half of the "this D lister character died in the 80s so please care about it now" bullshit they pulled with everyone. All the setup with the Lanterns for Blackest Night was fun but the moment it actually came around it really shit the bed.

If Amanda Waller had a dick, it would be massive and possibly the biggest in the DCU.

You could argue that Manhunters have a shit ton more of that energy, since they are like walking GL batteries instead of just rings.

You know I like Simone S6 but then Ostrander pops in and there's no comparing them in quality side by side

Give him more shit again, DC

>>91334411
Alice has good taste

You think so?

I've gone through the entirety of Suicide Squad and his guestwork on Secret Six and I gotta admit he's unpleasantly dry. The difference is more pronounced with Deadshot- he comes off just about devoid of character. He's got something juicy to work with when Simone writes him.

Isn't he going blind or something? That sucks if it is him. I wish they would print his Spectre again

Him trying to be Scandal's surrogate dad makes a bit more sense in context.

See, Bane never knew his father, and spent his entire childhood and a good portion of his adult life in a South American Maximum Security Prison. He's trying to help Scandal be more well adjust, maybe himself in that process. But he's not ..good at it.

He had surgery for his glaucoma and has two Kickstarters, one with Mandrake and one with Mrs. Mandrake aka Jan Duursema, the first is at the printer, the second is in progress.

Pretty much all of the Ostrander era members of the Suicide Squad that bit it.

'Cept Mindboggler, of course.

I like his SS (and in general) but I hate the retarded Deadshot can't kill Batman because he reminds him of guilt associated with his dead brother bullshit. It's the worst aspect of Deadshot's character and the first thing he does when he guested on S6 is bring it up again.

>>91335321
Not called lowlies for nothing.

I definitely don't feel Ostrander is too dry with people like Count Vertigo or the mission to Apokolips.

Floyd's extremely laconic in the SS run but I don't think without character. It doesn't quite mesh up with him here I agree but I'm fine with either incarnation. Simone is a lot more willing to show him casually shooting people over threatening to.
