SHIT.jpg
175KB, 575x886px
It wasn't COIE, even though that shat on years of continuity and classic team-ups
It wasn't Zero Hour, even though that felt like a pathetic cashgrab
It wasn't Infinite Crisis, despite what an edgy, horrible abortion it ended up being
It wasn't The New 52, despite how dreadful that lame 90's throwback was

It was this, THIS right here is perfectly representative of the lack of artistic integrity in DC nowadays, THIS bullshit

When Marvel became a joke I didn't care as much because DC was always historically better, with classics like Green Lantern/Green Arrow, Camelot 3000, Dark Knight Returns, The Sandman, and oh yeah, WATCHMEN

This is horrible. I don't know how Geoff Johns manages to sleep well at night.

Can someone explain what is going on with Watchmen in DC?

Whatever it is, I'm pretty sure OP is being an aspie. Moore's Watchmen is still going to exist.
>>
>>92067490
The button appeared in the batcave, and Dr. Manhattan may have fucked with the DCU’s timeline. That’s all. Haven’t read today’s Batman issue so I don’t know if something new was revealed there.
>>
>>92067490
Nothing really, just bunch of teases. The Button crossover has been pretty good though.
>>
>>92067490
Doctor Manhattan is messing with the DCU, and Batman and Flash are investigating the Comedian's pin.

Morrison loves watchmen, let's not mix him with Johns, aside from Waid Morrison's work is probably the most affected by Johns. Since 52 both have taken really really different paths

Why did the button react with that mask?

Not really. No one brought up any real arguments, it was all "abloo bloo cry moar" and "shut up Marlel shill"

It's pretty sad how /co/ is so full of manchildren no one's interested in having an actual discussion and having their points of view challenged.

If Thawne knows who it is why is he later surprised to see God?

Think my only grievance with this isn't that they're sweeping their own mistakes under someone else's rug and claiming all the great moments are entirely theirs though. No it's not that bait and switch or the journey, if you will, but the destination.
Looking back at the SCW, Blackest Night and other events and arcs helmed by Johns I can already see the predictable chest beating ending.
It's going to be revealed that Manhattan was hurting the DC heroes to find out why they don't break like the ones in Watchmen and then they'll all pose together and Hal will say "because we're stronger together" or some self-inflated horseshit, then they'll pound his blue pussy for a few panels and he'll say some puppeted vague shit like "Adrian, I was wrong, DC™ heroes are forever!" and explode.

It'd be more or less what Lobe did in the Batman/Superman story With A Vengeance where except with Doc Manhattan instead of Mr.Mxyptlk and the self-awareness.
>>
>>92072784
still we're going to see doctor m which is always nice
>>
>>92067566
>>92067539
hum, i assumed that based on all the outrage it would have been revealed that the DCU is the universe Dr. Manhattan decided to create at the end of watchmen or some meta shit
>>
>>92072869
Christ, if this actually happens, it'll be the most Hollywood-esque piece of shit to come out of comics in a while.
>>
>>92072927
desu the second issue of The Button sorta implied that, which is dumb
>>
>>92072927
thats what its implying though dear anon
>>
The best part of this is going to be when all the Watchmen fanwankers who think Dr Manhattan is some kind of unstoppable omni-god get shown that by DC standards he's barely a C-lister in terms of power

The best thing would be if Batman puts on some kind of immune-to-atomic-bullshit gloves and just beats the crap out of him. The backlash would be hilarious.
>>
>>92073006
Moore would probably like that outcome.
>>
>>92072869
>Think my only grievance with this isn't that they're sweeping their own mistakes under someone else's rug and claiming all the great moments are entirely theirs though.

It's not the first time they've done this. See: Superboy Prime having caused all of Editorial's Post-Crisis fuck ups.
>>
>>92072715
speedforce and the emotional color spectrum ruined Flash and Green Lantern stories forever
>>
>>92068249
Johns is a Moore fan, though he got asspained when Moore compared him to a racoon going through his trash. Remember Blackest Night? Morrison is the one that hates Watchmen (ironic considering that issue of Multiversity with the Charlton characters) and Moore.
>>
>>92072116
Thanks for proving his point faggot.

Theres like a hundred threads and they all line up man.

Do you expect us to keep reading your bait after that, marvel intern?
>>
>>92067410
This has gotta be the same guy.
>>
>>92073006
The problem is people thinking it's all about dick measuring. Dr. Manhattan was a character that was made to take part in a particular story, which he did, and made perfect sense then. Nobody gives a shit whether he's more powerful than Superman or not, that was never its purpose as a character. All this shit they're doing fucking sucks.

By knowing he saved DC in the direct market and consolidated their DOMINION over trades with Rebirth, and a couple of hundreds of LCS along the way too.

He's in the next Flash arc. Time will change

>Pantheon of interconnected characters and stories
>fans like thinking about the world and how all the pieces fit and interact
>this is wrong

The only argument is that Watchmen wasn't originally tied to greater DCU, but if you create characters like Superman and Dr. Manhattan, and confirm they exist in the same world, you automatically think about who would have the upper hand over who. It's completely natural.
>>
>>92076361

There's 0 percent chance that the Watchmen characters stick around, though.
>>
>>92076467
>The only argument is that Watchmen wasn't originally tied to greater DCU
Yes, that was exactly what I was saying.
>>
Should we telephone Alan Moore just to torment the old bastard?
>>
>>92076506
Yeah I would say there's a more likely chance of Flashpoint Batdad showing up in the DCU than the Watchmen characters sticking around.
>>
>>92077182
The last thing he said about DC was that they had no top tier of writers, and that they were basically all unoriginal assholes raiding his notes for new stories.

He'd just feel like his statments were vindicated by news of the watchmen stuff in rebirth.
>>
>>92073936
>Morrison is the one that hates Watchmen
He doesn't really hate it. He just prefers Miracleman more.
>>
>>92077308
Moore can be Byrne levels of a faggot sometimes.

He thought Johns was stealing from him when he tried to expand upon Moore's fucking vague as shit ideas.

Like seriously this is what writers do in a shared universe you insufferable prick.

Fuck Ditko, Moore and Byrne for their elitist hack attitudes.
>>

I hope you get raped by clowns.
>>
>>92067238
>It wasn't The New 52

Yes it was.
>>
>>92077641
He also didn't get the memo that it was Dave Gibbon's idea from his time as writer on GLC.
>>
>>92077641
>He thought Johns was stealing from him when he tried to expand upon Moore's fucking vague as shit ideas.

Couldn't the argument also be made that his story was expanding upon why Abin Sur was using a spaceship when he had a ring in the Silver Age origin of Green Lantern?
>>
>>92072927
>>92072967
>>92072979

I doubt its going to be this. Its going to be Manhattan editing the universe to help protect the integrity of the multiverse as a whole.
>>
>>92077641
>Fuck Ditko
>>
>>92076467
But it originally was going to be tied to the DCU, but DC back in the day, nixed Moore on using The Question, Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, etc.
