Dr. Manhattan isn't even going to be in the last issue of The Button arc. And if he does, it will be an anticlimactic cliffhanger that will take another year to address.

>>92081111
Johns already had batman beaten to a pulp in the first issue, what are you talking about? Johns always makes batman useless

>>92081307

don't be ridiculous

Clearly Batman had enough prep time that he knew Eobard would get fucking vaporized and he was just stalling until Eobard got BTFO. Obviously he only called Barry because he needed to travel through time later on

>>92081270
>that will take another year to address.
Is this such a bad thing? Do you want mysteries to be over as soon as possible?

>>92081404

They need to hurry up

the button was a big hype selling point for Rebirth, and now the hype is fading out because they still haven't showed Doctor Manhattan

By the time they finally release the money shot, everyone won't even give a fuck anymore

when will they address the 3 jokers

>>92081307

This. If anyone's going to beat up Dr. Manhattan, it's going to be Barry Allen using "lol speedforce"

YOU ALL KNOW IT'S TRUE

THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN

I think The Thunderbolt is going to kick Manhattan's ass. They keep showing Johnny trying to summon him for reasons.

>>92081475
>the button was a big hype selling point for Rebirth, and now the hype is fading

the sales have been great, better than Marvel's latest cashgrab

>>92081564
He's trying to summoning him to bring back the JSA. It was a JSA tease, just like the Saturn Girl appearance in the first part to tease the Legion.

>>92081619
I guess that makes sense if you want the JSA as a refutation of all the weird shittiness and inadequacy that was the Minutemen.

>>92081500
this

>>92081564
the thunderbolt is mxyzptlk level (JLA five times over) so he may kick dr.manhattan ass but will not have the power to take whoever is behind all this having into consideration how mxyzptlk was afraid of him.

>>92081500

>It's been a year and they STILL haven't explained the three Jokers

how the fuck...?

>>92081619
really hyped to see more Legion stuff

>>92081512
Flash is a faggot. I hope you don't actually think he's doing anything more than being batman's chauffeur.

>>92081531
Even he doesn't want to piss Moore off that much. If Morrison was handling this Moore might actually snap.

>>92081512
Don't forget we will also have a feels moment and a speech about what is really important so after a bunch of shitty issues that all ended in cliffhangers comfyfags will claim the story was good

>>92081226
>Martha's middle name will turn out to be Laurie

>>92081800
Morrison and Moore don't get along?

>>92081531
Morrison isn't a whore, this is exactly the kind of shit he hates, mandated stuff controlled by editorial and that messes with characters just for cheap gimmicks. He created his own watchmen universe for this very same reason, he didn't want to be part of before watchmen either.

>>92081512
Kek, no. If anyone does anything it will be Superman given all the focus Rebirth put on him and being split in two to be weakened.

Considering how much I throughly dislike Watchmen, the only way I could enjoy this crap is if I get to see Manhatten or any of Moores hyper violent losers. Beaten into non existence through silly silver age hijinks and in the process erasing it's legacy and influence on comic storytelling, but I know that won't happen.

>>92081831
I may have over-state the "hate" but I seem to recall Moore looking down his nose at Morrison at certain points.

>>92081564
I actually think that Manhattan needs Thunderbolt to manipulate timeline. I mean he never had that strong reality-warping in watchmen as he is supposedly demonstrating in rebirth.

>>92081111
You know, if they actually he the balls to pull this shit I wouldn't even be mad anymore.

I think Manhattan is using DC's 10 years to transform his own universe into a Silver-Age world that doesn't have the darkness of the original Watchmen's world.

>>92081307
That was against Zoom though, which makes sense.

>>92082174
That's because of Morrison forcing his retarded interpretations of Moore's works on everybody in his stories though.

>all the current DC characters learn they're living in what is essentially the waste bin of Dr. Manhattan, who is removing from his universe and putting in their universe all of the ugliness, strife, and grimdark.

I can see them doing this.

>I promise it’s not going to be Batman and company punching Dr. Manhattan a bunch of times. That’s not how you combat something like this

>>92082278
Yeah, that TKJ shit would piss me off if I was Moore. People completely misread it now. He wanted to portray a poignant moment in the lives of two diametrically opposed enemies. A moment of understanding.

Not a moment of Batman snapping. That would completely invalidate the story he wrote.

>But, as I said, it was meant to be something that would liberate comics. Instead, it became this massive stumbling block that comics can’t even really seem to get around to this day. They’ve lost a lot of their original innocence, and they can’t get that back. And, they’re stuck, it seems, in this kind of depressive ghetto of grimness and psychosis. I’m not too proud of being the author of that regrettable trend.

I actually don't think Moore would mind. He may hate that DC is using his holy grail but either he's schizophrenic or he was lying above. Or he's blinded by hate of DC.

Would it be a nice gesture for them to offer him money and ownership? Maybe. But it would also be a nice gesture for an old man that is so stuck on his view of how a very specific art-form should be written to say "they're at least attempting to do what I hope would happen."

It would be nice to, just once, hear him say specifically a story that's doing it "right". Rather than just some cryptic "oh there are some great indie creators." Tell us their name, Alan. Not so they can put the quote on their book but so that we know you're not just BS-ing.

>>92082180
>he never had that strong reality-warping in watchmen

As if that matters. All that matters is that people for years hyped up Manhattan as the most powerful thing ever to the point it became a meme. Now DC's cashing in on the meme long after it was relevant.

>>92081831
Moore thinks using other people's characters is only okay if it's a cynical parody.

>>92082254
That's not the point, it wasn't necessary. There was literally no need for that, also it wasn't zoom, it was professor zoom.

>>92082590
He was mad about DC using blackest night, saying DC uses his works are gimmicks, that is sad that modern writers can't have original ideas and comparing geoff johns to a racoon playing with his garbage.
He wasn't wrong.

>>92082906
False. He believes it should be about storytelling, original ideas and interpretations and not cheap gimmicks.

>>92083761
Bro, he's mad at DC because they fucked him on his ownership. He makes comments like that about many people. But his hate of DC stems directly from the contracts he signed.

He may be against cheap gimmicks but it doesn't stop him from employing them with Lost Girls. No matter the amount of mental gymnastics he does to say it wasn't that.

Just because some view it as having a valid point, or being artful doesn't change the fact that deflowering public domain girls is a fucking gimmick.

It was well employed but it is the definition of cheap gimmick.

>>92081111
>implying Rebirth doesn't end with Superman and Manhattan talking it out on Mars

Who fucking cares about that blue cunt

The real question is, what will happen when Batman meets Rorschach?

>>92084161
I've seen it mentioned on /co/, but does anyone have a source for that interview where Johns said that it wouldn't be a punching contest and that Manhattan is an antagonist, but not the villain?

>>92084209
It will be terrible, currently DC has no Catholic writers involved in batman or any writer than knows anything about absolutism.

>>92084209
Batman will be a judgmental bitch who will openly damn Rorschach for his philosophy, attitude and actions, even if he knows the circumstances behind them, and Rorschach will be written as a one-dimensional badass edgemaster instead of a traumatized mentally ill man because a) DC can't into real emotional writing anymore unless it's MUH BATDAD MANLY TEARS Nolan-esque shit, and b) they will want cheap conflict between the two without taking into real consideration how both of them would react to each other's presence.

>>92084607
>Batman will be a judgmental bitch

tbf i can't think of any writer who hasn't written him as a judgmental bitch, except for dini

i mean if you think about it, rorschach's backstory isn't half as bad as some of batman's other rogues so it's not like he'd have any real excuse. if mr. freeze doesn't get a pass, i don't see why rorschach should.

>>92082252
Saturday Morning Watchmen is now cannon

>>92084607
It'd be somewhere in between how he reacted to The Cavalier becoming a vigilante and how he reacted to Red Hood/Jason.

Batman doesn't like people that kill. But maiming isn't against his code. Rorschach doesn't just blindly murder people so I don't know why anyone would assume it would be an immediate fight.

>>92081564
some options for the kicker and violation of Dr :
-superboy prime
-thunderbolt
-batman (Thomas Wayne)
-Flash
-Batman

>>92081512
>not Superman using "lol meta-textual, Superman can't lose."
You fucking know it's coming, but hell, maybe they'll just have him beat up Oz or whatever since he seems to be the one dogging him the most.

>>92088477
Life fucking sucks, does it not?

>>92081111
>implying it'll even be Manhattan

Do you seriously think there won't be a swerve?

Doc will probably be using the 10 years he took to make the Watchmen universe happier and more like DC, with a Rorschach who doesn't kill and is closer to the Question in personality, and multiple incarnations of the Minutemen, with sidekicks and legacy characters galore.

>>92081777
And you are a disgusting child for being a homophobe. Seriously is it that hard to stop using a hateful word you KNOW is cruel? How immature can you be? Just have some fucking decency and pick another word not associated with hate crimes. Fucking child.

>>92081111
>Batman vs. Manhattan
Manhattan is overpowered, but he mostly stands on the ground of known science. You would really only need enought money to make science stuff to beat Manhattan. And guess whoms superpower is money.

Would anyone else be okay with Thomas Wayne surviving to be in the JSA book?

>>92082252
It's more due to testing and deconstructing his own universe.

Pre flashpoint has more grimdark elements and stories. Indenify crisis, bloodlines, cry for justice, tons of 90s rip the mythos apart stuff.

>>92088931
Of course!

Get Lex Luthor on the phone!

shut up faggot, being affected by words from some totally unknown person is the gayest thing ever.

>>92088976
Or they could just have him inserted in the past. Never dying.

Similar to bryne wonder woman of the golden age is dianas mom.

They could toss in golden age books exosting again. The whole rebirth thing is about legacy and hope.

Batman will use his Dr Manhattan Repellent.

>>92081307
Why DOES Johns hate Batman so much, anyway?

>>92088931
And how did that work out for Ozymandias?

Manhattan will simply wave one hand and blow up Batman

Resulting in Batman transforming into his Adam West rendition, thus saving the day

Is Bruce just going to ignore his father telling him not to be batman?

he's not frank

>>92090208
From what I gather I think it's equal parts dislike of batwank overshadowing his favorites and also the one or two times JL Batman barking orders or reprimand stepped on the toes of GLs.
Funny enough Johns has inflated the figures of that last one himself, usually to have the GLs get one up on Bruce though.

>>92090327
>No (Bruce) Batman means no sales
Take a wild fucking guess
>B-but a well developed legacy
No. No one's checking for that, it's why it's never stuck for the trinity and never will. In fact as of Hal and Barry retaking their titles the concept is definitely not going to stick for the others.

>>92090315
Damn that ass can jiggle

>>92088837
Shut up faggot.

So, who thinks Oz is just a "split" version of Manhattan and Osterman, ala superman? Oz of course being the latter.
