WHAT DID THE ENDING MEAN

Isn't that just cribbed from the last few issues of JUSTICE?

>Duke

>>93199134
Does that hack Snyder not know that GLs aren't vulnerable to yellow?

>>93199180
That's literally referenced on the next page

You faggots are gonna shit yourselves when you see page 32.

>>93198952
OOOOH SHIT FINALLY

>>93199283
Who?

>>93199340
REX

>>93199113
>Ganthet

Didn't he go into hiding after Johns' run or something?

I never read Venshitti's run after Lights Out what did I miss?

>>93199283
this was already spoiled.

>>93199321
Okay I get Aquaman's trident, but the others are ridiculous. The helmet of fate is powerful because of who inhabits it not because it's made out of special metal. And WW's gauntlets were made by her Gods.

>>93199225
The page with the Joker? That was in tons of the previews.

>>93199354
Ganthet and Sayd are back.

>>93199367
Nope. Not that one.
INFINITE CRISIS FAGGOTS

>>93199368
How though?

>>93199283
Plas?

>>93199381
>bat tribe

Fuck Snyder.

>>93199414
>Fuck Snyder.
Bat-tribe was Morrison though.

>>93199414
Bat tribe dates back to before Snyder.

>>93199414
People like you are rotting this place

>>93199421
>>93199426
>implying Snyder actually read Return of Bruce Wayne

I definitely don't think so.

>>93199283
Base Plasticman alright!!!!!!!

>>93199479
Here it comes.

>>93199466
So you knew it was a thing before, and your reaction to seeing Snyder use it was that he coincidentally used the same idea without knowing about it and got mad that he used the idea of a bat tribe even though others have done it.
Your miserable life is entirely your own doing.

>>93199465
im actually enjoying this. thanks OP.

>>93199499
OOOH this issue is pretty solid so far

>>93199499
I never read infinite crisis, can someone explain this?

>>93199154
So... You know that he is a Green Lantern.. You understand that and you attack him? you are crazy?

>>93199517
It's actually from Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Next in Dark Days: The Casting:
>The Joker's surprise attack threatens to lay waste to all of Batman's carefully laid plans. Will the Dark Knight be able to regain the trust of his closest allies, Green Lantern and Duke, and prevent the forces of darkness from consuming the DC Universe?! Will Hawkman's warning stop our heroes from peering into the abyss?

>>93199517
It's a tower used by the Anti-Monitor to destroy universes in Crisis on Infintie Earths.

>>93199521
not again

Most boring event comic first issue ever?

That's all.

>>93199521
>>93199537
Couldn't be a Snyder story without Joker

>>93199537
I went and added up all the numbers. And then added the digits of that number and again a few times and it actually does add up to 52.

so this is one of the 3 jokers? or the one brainashed the jl in endgame who was supposilly dejokerized?

>>93199466
His entire run wouldn't exist if he didn't rip off Morrison's at nearly every turn.

>>93199574
{Source: My ass]

>>93199537
>closest allies
>green lantern and duke
>duke
how mad will Snyder be when some other writer kills him off in a crisis event

>>93199499
What I'm looking at?

>>93199596
I know /co/ doesn't read comics but you could at least read the thread

>>93199499

>Batman does something dumb again because he's Batman.

I almost did remember what this was, then I was like oh shit and my state above range true.

>>93199499
fugg dimensional tuning fork
shit its going down

>>93199615
It doesn't help that some guy was hyping it up before the reveal saying it was from the wrong comic.

>>93199588
The source was a calculator.... What are you talking about? A source for addition?

>>93199589
that's been the solicit since like March, why are you still triggered by it

>>93199537
>the joker or batman can disrupt green lantern rings

this is dumber than Duke and Harper Row combined.

>>93199283
FINALLY

>>93199154
>>Thought I read that little ring of yours didn't work on yellow.

Because you read Miller, friend.

>>93199499
How big is supermans fortress that this thing is sitting in it and he doesn't know

>>93199521
What? Why is Joker the Joker again? Wasn't he turned back to normal?

>>93199575
he was rejokerized as soon as bruce remembered he was batman.

>>93199735

I think they just made him default Joker instead of waiting for Snyder to come back and do another reinvention. They dropped all of Endgame's plot points pretty fast with Rebirth, thank god.

So wait is this book canon/set on main Earth? Or is this another Earth?
Because why is Hal back in the League and why was Hawkman in the league at the end of the Captain Atom mini?

>>93199844
>So wait is this book canon/set on main Earth? Or is this another Earth?
Canon.

>>93199819
They didn't drop any plotpoints from endgame, tf? You literally see several things from that story mentioned here.

>>93199705
Its a bit of TARDIS deal, bigger on the inside.

>>93199844
Are you even reading it? Literally the first page we see Hal, he is ordered to take a break from space adventures and see what's going on in the batcave.

>>93199559
It's a prelude you retarded shitposter and it's more meaty than all the recent Marlel 0s combined.

>>93199571
>I hinted it over the years

Sure you did Snyder. Sure it wasn't just pretentious edgy writing.

>>93199134
The moment you realized that a batbook sucks. -

>>93199912
I know it's hard to believe he could have actually be planning this for years, but it's evident, that he at least ideas for it throughout his run with all the reviving factors in his run + Batman 51 literally mentions the owls talking about this stuff.

Fucking Christ another Snyder Joker "This time the stakes are higher than they've ever been before!" story

>>93199134
Jesus duke, you could have just told him. I think he'd understand.

>>93199977
NO HE IS HACK STOP SAYING THINGS THAT DON'T FIT MY AGENDA RRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

That's such a great first issue, as expected of Snyder, just hoping he's not the one who writes the ending

>>93199077
ok so Arthur is outside Atlantis now

>>93199134
Jim Lee's Hal visits Batman, I have flashbacks

>>93199340
OH SHIT
lol Katana

>>93199445
hello there

>>93199499
why the fuck is this here

>>93199537
a good writer would make Joker be the one who's in the right here

>>93199578
Cute.
Wrong, but cute.
Why do so many comic hipster's think Morrison was the greatest thing to ever happen to Batman. He was shit. Just like his X-Men run. His pretentious jumbled story telling is Dixon levels of bad. Wait, I forgot, Snyder is popular and his books sell a lot, are not pretentious and occasionally pander to the fans; so people are supposed to dislike him because it is the trendy thing to do.

>>93200006
Synder pls . you sucks.

>>93199578
Yes, Morrison is the bastion of originality. Morrisonfags always deliver.

>>93200006
Scott Snyder is like the Synder of comic books.
Yeah, i get kind of sick of Snyder's big stakes stories (Swamp thing, and B&R for other examples).

>>93200006
>>93200006
You are the hipster. Chuck Dixon rarely rises above average, but he is never bad. Morrison's run is the definitive Batman run, and your precious Scott Snyder obviously thought so because literally every arc save zero year was a pastiche on the run that came directly before him.

>>93198994
He's literally still got the outline of the trunks. Just fucking color it in jesus

>its not just another batman is investigating a super duper deep mystery
>HE IS THE MYSTERY!!!
dum dum dumbbbbbb

Okay fine maybe batman can be a bigger deal that just a billionaire who dresses up in a weird costume
>lets add joker in too
really nigga?

I'd give the entire Synder run overall a solid 3 out of 10. The writing was mediocre throughout with some "big ideas," but consistently poor execution. Stilted dialogue, rushed third acts, and a truck load of cliches.

>>93199340
This is Katana
she's got my bat back

>>93200045
He revitalized the entire Batman line single handedly and left the door open for a decade's worth of fresh stories.

>>93200045
Synder pls.Batman kind of sucks at his job these days, huh?

>>93199401
They sought out Kyle after Hal went pure willpower. They are back with the Corps again.

>>93200063
>Morrison's run is the definitive Batman run
That is not O'Neal,Miller or Alan Grant.Morrison is shit.

>>93200104
He's doing good enough to retire soon

>>93200125
This.

>>93200125
"Scott Snyder sucks"!

ok I'll admit, I enjoyed this. You can do something right every once and a while Snyder.

>>93200132
>>93200125
Synder is on 4 chan

>>93200160
oh Synder ...HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>93200125
>>93200125
Alan Grant is average, Denny O'Neil (not O'Neal) is one of the all time greats, but his run is still a product of its time, and Frank Miller never wrote an ongoing. Morrison's run respects all of these authors while elevating the character from a modern perspective.

Snyder's changes to the Batman mythos during the New 52 are just awful. They really, really are. I don't blame him entirely, but it really seems that now he's more interested in cementing his mark on Batman than he is in making Batman actually feel like Batman. Nowadays, Batman hardly feels like a street-level hero.

>>93200084
>it's a Morrisonfag pretends Morrison is the modern O'Neil and Miller episode
Also quality and impact of his work doesn't really say anything about him being original. The thematic and conceptual ideas of his Batman can be traced back.

>>93199154
>holding him by the black of his costume
That's nice to see.

>>93200189
>Alan Grant is average
Nigger, you're not going to make a case for Morrison by shitting on one of the greats.

IT still has Snyder's Duke stink all over it .

>>93200212
Please tell me where the conceptual idea that Batman is a product of every era and interpretation of his character throughout his seventy year history occurred before. I'll wait.

>>93200232
>Nigger, you're not going to make a case for Morrison by shitting on one of the greats.
Snyder and Tynion by themselves cant replicate the work of dozens of writers by themselves. Its not happening and Tynions revisions in particular are awful.

>>93200232
You know what sucks? Synders Batman now.

Sorry, couldn't resist but when you see this kind of threads popping up basically every week then you realize there's something really wrong with DC's flagship title.

>>93200232
I should have said his Batman is average. What would you say his best story is, and why is that story never brought up when talking about classic Batman stories?

>>93199058
>the only way out is through the volcano

>>93200189
RESPECTS? All he did was rehash old ideas until he killed Batman. His run was just stroking his own ego so he could pander about his 'Batman' knowledge. He most likely sat back, read some old comics and then threw some darts at the to decide what to add or not.

His crowning achievement from his entire run was an edge lord Robin, cause, reasons (royalties). The only hero book Morrison ever did that was good was All Star Superman.

Yeah, I think Batman is starting to inherit the Titans curse that plagued that franchise for over a decade. All Star Batman is more of Snyder trying his hardest to make his mark on Batman's mythos, as opposed to telling the best possible story. It's not all bad, but Snyder's urge to be edgy and surprise the reader (and screw up the Bat-Family) really gets in the way of the book's quality.

>>93200290
>is crowning achievement from his entire run was an edge lord Robin, cause, reasons (royalties). The only hero book Morrison ever did that was good was All Star Superman.
Timfag you are back !!!!!!!!

>>93199134
>knows who Hal is
>still greets him with a kick in the face instead of talking to him
Fuck off Duke and fuck off Snyder

>>93200300
Tynion's Tec is terrible. I liked All-Star at first but then lost interest.

As a lifelong Bat fan, I'm surprised to find myself way, way more interested in the Super books.

>>93200300
>All Star Batman is more of Snyder trying his hardest to make his mark on Batman's mythos

You can say that about any writer taking on a big name character. The stories can still be good. This isn't a valid complaint. The ends of earth storyline is one of the best Batman stories in a while.

>>93200290
I could sit here and count the ways that this is wrong, like him wanting to kill of Damian immediately and finally doing so at the end of his run, or Batman and Robin being the best Batman related title in 15 years, but it just doesn't seem worthwhile.

>>93200242
The child of Bruce and Talia, The league of Batmen, also a lot of his themes during first and third half of his run. They are concepts that Morrison dug up and ran with. Not that there's anything wrong with it, this kind of plagiarization is the core essence of capeshit industry, but it's funny everytime a Morrisonfag pretends Morrison is the most original writer to touch the capeshit genre.

I have just about every issue from Batman #300 on. #7O3 was my last issue. Zero interest in New 52. I have a few issues of Rebirth, not sure yet if I'm going to continue to pick it up. Synder has all but ruined DC for me.

>>93199364
It's Psycho-Pirate's mask, no?

>>93200371
It figures you'd lack reading comprehension.

>>93200290
>The only hero book Morrison ever did that was good was All Star Superman.
And even that's ripping Moore's Supreme off. Moore decided to write a love letter to his Superman by revisiting old concepts and writing them with modern sensibilities, a decade later Morrison is doing just that.

Batman comics just aren't for me anymore.Seems old Snydes has a habit of crappy endings...

>>93199537
So The Joker lives inside Batmans cave now?

stupid question time

Is this related to that joker war crap with the 3 jokers and proposing to catwoman?

Is >>93199381 related to that time batman went back in time after getting hit by the omegabeams? Also, how did that story end? I think I remember something about a waifu and being in the future where if batman and his waifu and reunited, they explode everything?

Dickbat and Damian are the true Dynamic duo for me. That was the best time and though I like king not comes close to Morrison's Batman.

Those were good times.

>>93200398
No retort because you're not willing to face the reality about your favorite author? And it's not like Morrison is busy "revisiting" others concept, he's also made a name for himself by revisiting his own concepts over and over again.

>>93199788
no, he wasn't

>>93200430
I asked for you to show me where the concept that Batman was an amalgamation of every period of his history had occurred, and you came back with me with examples from a specific era. Dummy.

>>93199977
I can believe he hinted it in the stuff about the Lazaraus Pit and Vandal Savage's meteor in Endgame. But it's total BS that he hinted at anything like this in Court of Owls. We were given the explanation of how the Talons regenerated and supposed to accept it at face value. This is just a blatant retcon.

>>93200418
It's in the same continuity as those stories if that's what you are asking.

>>93200459
And I showed you where concepts in Morrison's Batman came from, but you go ahead and ignore that because it might compel you to take a closer look at Morrison and his originality.

a new history of the Batpeople on Earth.

>>93200505
I read those stories long before I read Morrison's run. You still have yet to prove to me how making Batman's entire history canon is not an original concept.

>>93200485
It's DC. That is their bread and butter. Retcon, retcon, retcon. If there's a huge event or infinity in the title, or Hawkman involved, expect retcon out the ass.

>>93199134
What are Auto Shields.

>>93200300
I'm a batfag so you'd think I'd be thrilled about the multitude of batbooks, but I definitely am not. If DC's going to push a character so hard, why wouldn't they actually produce some quality?
>Tec is awful
>All-Star is the Snyder Special
>JLA is abysmal
King's Batman is one of my favourite current ongoings but that's only because it's competent and inoffensive.

>>93199430
holy shit that Superman face is horrible

>>93200418
Yes, he was the inspiration for the bat tribe at the dawn of time when Darkseid sent him back. It ended pretty much how you'd expect, considering he's still alive and in the present.

>>93200524
>Batman's entire history canon is not an original concept.
It isn't because that's what the writers assumed when writing Batman. Batman's continuity was never thought to be a fractured. It's not a Superman like deal where it's been divided into so many portions, writers were allowed to refer to any stories they wanted and readers were aware of it too. Moore literally acknowledges it in a single panel and that's enough and he's not pretending that this is the most original thing that's going to be in a Batman comic.

>>93200566
>>Tec is awful

Besides Stephanie, not really

>>All-Star is the Snyder Special

Nothing wrong with that, Snyder is a great writer when he's not doing big THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING stories.

>JLA is abysmal

True, you'd think Orlando would be great with how much loves DC history

>>93200566
How is suicidal Batman palling around with the worst original sidekicks he's ever had while repeating himself ad nauseum and asking Catwoman to marry him like a bitch out of nowhere inoffensive?

>>93200601
>Besides Stephanie, not really
Kate .

>>93200588
Yes you can draw a direct line from Batman Dies at Dawn to No Man's Land. It's basically all the same story with a direct throughline of static characters developing over time.

>>93199357
Who's that knocking at the door?

>>93200601
Tec is awful and Tynion should be fired. It reads just like Batman and Robin Eternal. If you like it, well that's just your opinion.
All of All Star has been BIG stories and it's never been good. It's all wordy inner-monologuing and exposition.

>>93200602
He's not suicidal, you dumb nigger
Duke a shit but he's barely featured
The repetition was offensive in that one issue, besides that it's not so bad
Proposing to Catwoman was a natural progression after what Thomas said to him and a good compromise between giving up the mantle and living a normal life

>>93199537
>the joker is aware of everything
I was seriously expecting some new villain who's been watching everything from behind the scenes.

This reveal is retarded.
>joker knows GL got sent there by his superiors
>joker knows everything batman is doing
>inb4 joker is aware of the multiverse and the constant reboots

>>93200704
People would have been even more mad if it was some new villain.

>>93200637
I don't understand, are you agreeing with me or being ironic? It is a same story as long as you are pretending it is, Morrison pretends so it is, other writers that don't want to aren't obliged to. But don't tell me that intertextuality for the sake of it with some psuedo metatexual lense is somehow original.
I'll say that revisiting old concepts and presenting them in new light might look original in a industry so stagnant and there might also be some original ideas there, but to pretend that Morrison is so original and so creative, the likes of him have never touched a big ip book or never will is ignorant while being pretentious at best and being so ignorant you come off pants on heads retarded at worst.

>>93199537
Is this the Joker who cut off his face, our Joker? Or the second or third Joker?

Goddamn this was bad.

>>93200588
>>93200637
They assumed they were writing one long story encompassing every iteration of Batman instead of picking and choosing what parts of his history they wanted to use? News to me.

>>93199537
this was good. like really, really fucking good.
I do realise that mostly it's just fan service (Mister Miracle, Multiversal Fork, Mr Terrific, Plas, Outsiders, Blackhawks etc.) and teases, but you can tell that they are actually building towards something and that it's well planned.
the comic has a kinda dread atmosphere (Snyder was always good at horror), you can feel that something terrible is coming.
like always the big question is how is Snyder going to tie everything together? six issues (and they're 20 pages per issue IIRC) seem short for a story of this magnitude.
oh, and what's really curious is that we know nothing about what adversaries the heroes are going to face.
also, the dialogues were much better than Snyder's usual fare, I guess it's because of Tynion.
some criticism:
-it's weird that Snyder is tying Duke's mother to the Immortal Men. not everyone needs to be a member of a secret society FFS!
-while the artists are fine enough individually, they don't really gel together

>>93200374
No it's clearly the helmet of fate

>>93200738
Name one author that tried to tell a story that tried to include all eras of Batman's wildly varied 70 year history as his canonical backstory. I'll wait.

>>93200747
It's Snyder's Joker, he has the douchebag haircut.

>>93200684

The whole thing with Catwoman was forced and contrived. The whole run have been that way, actually. His characterization for Batman is also horrible.

>>93200807

Morrison made as many continuity mistakes during his run as he did remembered old stuff from the 50s.

What is he talking about? New Plastic Man book? Hawkman? Outsiders? So many possibilities.

>>93199174
>the new Duke push

>>93200876
Dark Matter at the very least.

>>93200830
Forced and contrived would using Batmite for no reason other than to say, 'See I remember this from when I was a kid' or, making a huge network of Batman related characters, because that makes sense.

Catwoman and Batman are a natural progression that relates to Batman constantly debating if he wishes to continue being a super hero or settle down and change. It is a constant inner dialogue that he has been having with himself, as well with others always telling him to stop, far longer than many people on this board have been alive.

but please, fuck off already, and don't shit up every thread, so people who actually want to discuss the issue and its clues and teases don't have to scroll through the same fucking replies every time
there are literally HUNDREDS of comics coming out every month you can discuss instead of this one
thanks

>>93200899
Yes and they have always called themselves Bat and Cat and felt like they were using their costumes as a way to commit suicide. It is truly the culmination of their relationship that started in 1940.

>>93200958
fuck off, faggot

I didnt even say snyder in my post. Holy shit just fuck off

>>93200958
Oh Synder....

>>93200807
So intertextuality and paying homages is original now? Come on man.
>>93200867
He couldn't even be bothered to check if the sex between Bruce and Talia in older story was consensual or what the child's name was. Then he went, "whoops, sorry I had Batman raped and if I could retcon it out, I wouldn't because I like it as it is. Also I hate how Moore's stories revolve around rape so much."

>>93200958
Wow, the butthurt is strong in this one.
Comics are about debating the fans with one another about what is good and what is not. The old idiots who fear change debating with the new idiots who want more of it and do not care. Chill the fuck out faggot and get over it.

Also, I was talking shit about Morrison not Synder. So you either have no idea how to 4Chan or know shit about Batman.

>>93200876

WHAT

>>93198977
Good cover.

>>93199096
How hard it is to call him "Batman" instead of "Bruce" when some random guy is just laying around? This is Marvel level editing.

>>93201025
That as a concept has far preceded Morrison's run, you'd know but you only read mainstream capeshit. Ellis homages era's and tones from late 30s to 90s in his Stormwatch and Planetary and neither him, nor his fans are pretending he's the most original author that's existed since the dawn of comics industry.

>>93201021
>Comics are about debating the fans with one another about what is good and what is not.

No wonder you don't like Morrison. Tell us more about how everyone is an idiot except for you.

>>93201088
Still not an answer to my question. Go back and read it slowly.

>>93201093
Not everyone, just you little hipster faggot.

Is Snyder some bizarre version of the Riddler where instead of leaving Riddles he needs to rip off Morrison or he's psychological incapable of writing a story?

>>93198952

Snyder's run was saved by Capullo's art. Otherwise I doubt normies would praise it as much.

How hard is to not be a fucking retard and realize unconscious people don't hear shit?

Aren't hipsters the ones who pretend to get enjoyment out of something but are really just posturing in order to put down other people to feed/mask their own inferiority complexes?

>>93199058
ok this is actually cool

>>93201210
Hipsters dislike popular things and constantly lament about older and less well known things being better with hyperbolic statements. Alex Ross, diehard Morrison, those who like pretentious things and try to say others just 'Don't understand them'... So yea, you are half right. The enjoyment usually pertains to older things though.
Hence anons rude comment.

>>93201223
Maybe the Rebirth event will end with the heroes getting their trunks back from Doc Manhattan.

>>93201207
>he can't hear us now, i'll bet your secret identity on it

i think Snyder cancer is trying to hype this as the big one that Bruce has been pursuing almost his whole (crimefighting) life. Because of the Owls, the Wayne ancestors have been victims of the users of these metals, etc.

>>93201305
>Alex Ross

>Not popular

OK Chief.

>>93199180
But they are vulnerable to a kick to the face

>>93201111
So conceptually what Morrison does has been done before, the philosophy that Morrison had is shared by authors preceding him but just because it didn't happen in a Batman comic or didn't happen the way Morrison did it, makes what Morrison did original. Your argument is equivalent of someone saying Matt Fraction writing a conceptual and thematically similar book to the story of Homer is original because it has never been done in a sci-fi setting in comics and ignoring all those stories preceding ODY-C that cover similar ground.
Are you legit slow or just a very hardcore creatorfag that's trying hardest to make an argument where there isn't one? You know you wouldn't actually try to have this retarded argument and instead say that ideas do not need to be original just executed well which is an actual valid sentiment to have instead of the delusion you are carrying but then you would lose a moral group for whenever you try to criticize someone like Snyder for not being original.

What could this even mean at this point?

Seriously the universe has been destroyed and re-created and rebooted and relaunched about 50 billion times now. What in the DCU could possibly be mindblowing to someone like Hal?

>>93201396
The fact that no one had done it before with Batman by definition makes it an original concept for the character and mythos. It's not difficult. If you're not a fucking moron.

This is stupid

>>93201305
Alex Ross is historically a big seller.

Morrison is THE most successful comics writer of the last 20 years. The fuck are you talking about? He had a top 5 seller nearly every month from 1997-2012. The ONLY other writer who's EVER pulled that off is Claremont.

>>93199537
there are three jokers. this was established back when the justice league became gods. one may be dead (I don't know what happened the last time the joker showed up outside of Duke's family), one has been found here, and the last one is currently unkown as far as I can tell.

this is going to be a very interesting cruel joke.

Your post, while being unironic is the accurate representation of capeshitters who want to feel pretentious about reading the books in which one macho man in silly costume punches another one and while being pretentious also manage to remain illiterate about the reality of media you consume.

Johns is much more successful without the last 20 year tag.

Yes, it's the start of DC's next big event book.

>>93199321
InB4 Outsiders?

>>93201582
Morrison was directly engaging with the seemingly frivolous nature of superheroes and why they endure and resonate in popular culture despite people calling them macho men in silly costumes punching one another. And irony is calling someone illiterate just after getting beat the fuck out with a dictionary definition of original.

>>93199174
So, is this implying Immortal Man is Duke's real dad?

Oh. I'll do you one better. Why is the Joker the thing that threatens the galaxy so intensely that he drew Ganthet's attention to such a degree that he sent Jordan on a secret mission to find him?

Snyder promised that Metal would melt my face off. I'll admit the Anti-Monitor's weapon was awesome, but Snyder's Joker does nothing but make me wretch.

>>93201791

I bet my ass virginity this is not the Nu52 Joker, but the Joker from before Flashpoint. That's probably why he's giving off weird signatures and shit.

>>93201600
Not even close.

Morrison's JLA, New X-Men, and Batman were THE biggest titles at their respective publishers when he was writing them. His All Star Superman sold over 200k PER ISSUE.

Johns has usually not been a chart topper. Morrison on the other hand is the most mainstream writer of the 21st century. Only Bendis (of all people) even is arguably as successful.

>>93201791

Joker isn't the threat
Ganthet says the threat is the truth coming to light
So it's Batman digging for the metals
Joker just happens to be there and also knows pieces of the puzzle

>Johns has usually not been a chart topper.
Nigga Johns has been writing event after event since Infinite Crisis, made things like Green Lantern and Aquaman a top seller and saved books like Teen Titans and JSA. If you look at trade sales, no current DC writer except maybe Snyder compares to him, certainly not Morrison.

What's the continuity/timeline/universe for this?

What's the main core and many issues will it be?

>>93201640
If you consider your inability to accept the fact that Morrison's ideas are not wholly original and only seem original because you are viewing them through certain lenses me getting blown the fuck out then by all means, continue to indulge in your ignorance. Morrison might have been original when he was seemingly the first to push back the idea of darker comics by writing darker comics with ironic edge, but he was certainly not original when he wrote his love letter to Superman in a specific way that resembled Moore's work on Superman and certainly certainly not original when he tried to reference past canon of Batman as one long story when that idea has been around since before Morrison even started writing capeshit.

>>93202540
-the main DC universe sometimes during the Rebirth era
-prelude: Dark Days: The Forge + The Casting, main story: Dark Nights: Metal, we don't know about regular tie-ins yet, but the Dark Matter line of books will spring out of this event

God that Halo costume is such an eyesore

>>93201439
there's this metal and it's eeeeevil and it's in everything and it's going to make Batman go full Batdictator.

and come to think of it, the metal is probably an ingredient in GL power rings! GASP!

>>93202628
No one had made it canon before or told a story that directly referenced it. For all your bloviating you are still wrong.

HOW MANY SECRETS DOES BATMAN HAVE? HOW MANY SECRET PARTNERS DOES HE SECRETLY WORK WITH? WHY DOES HE POKE HIS NOSE ON SO MANY PEOPLE'S LIVES?

>>93199134
Is that why Duke wears yellow? So he can beat up Green Lanterns?

>>93203027

>>93199247

Batman seriously come off as a cheating slut. You think Superman and Wonder Woman are his best friends, but noooope then you learn that Batman and Mister Terrific had been having this secret relationship no one knows for years. Or has has been hiding Plastic Man in his secret sex dungeon thing.

God, if i was Superman i'd just slap his face and call him out on his bullshit. Dump him, Superman.

>Batman, you must rape the multiverse!

I dig it Get it

But seriously I'm kinda interested in seeing Snyder do something other than Batman and this is exactly what he said it was, a DCU story.

I'm not a fan of Duke but if this sends him out of the Bat-corner and into the wider DCU to be his own hero I'm happy with that. Also liking these history fill-ins as well.

I do wish the book had a consistent artist or used its different artists for theming instead of randomly passing pages about though.

Hopefully The Casting and Metal has more DCU focus

>>93203640

For some reason i feel that Snyder would be perfect for Hawkman. Snyder loves having characters narrating about some weird factoid or ancient history in every fucking issue. What better than Hawman for that?

Hal wants to go back and get the Justice League because his ring has never reacted the way it did? The guy who killed himself to escape from the Dead Zone and beat the lord of the dead, is afraid because "his arm is on fire"? Who is Snyder and Tynion thinking they are writing here?

>>93199340
MOTHERFUCKING GEO-FORCE SON!

New interview with Snyder and gives a lot of information about his plans for some of the cameos we saw: http://www.cbr.com/interview-scott-s...R-TW&view=list


-Sounds like a lot of new books are gonna be announced between now and Comic Con.
-Looks like the new outsiders are gonna appear in detective comics first, before they get their own series, if they even do.
-Duke's name and book will be announced when the casting comes out.
-Plastic Man will have a big role in Metal.
-the Justice League and Hawkman are the main characters of Metal
-The Three Joker storyline won't be answered here, but Snyder knows about it and talked about how to make this story work with Johns
-While Doomsday Clock will answer the mysteries of Rebirth, Metal is designed to open up new corners of the DCU and make new characters.

>>93204099
>-Duke's name and book will be announced when the casting comes out.

Alright, so what Legacy character will he end up being?

Oh hell yeah

It's probably going to be Mike Barr given the work DC has been giving him and Didio's obsession with the franchise.

Dropped even before considering to pick it up. Could it be Cucka? Write it with Kate as a lead and throw in all his other self insert strong womyn who are also lesbians, could work.

>>93199268

Well, that's not very high.

>>93199364

You could argue that Wondy's gauntlets and the Helm of Nabu can only contain the power they wield because of the materials they are made of though.

I don't think that King/Gerards Mr. Miracle will be any good, DC can't use the New Gods right it seems.

>>93205856
Rucka is going back to Image. He has his two books on the backburner there and usually he can't handle more than that. Plus Johns supposedly isn't involved with this.

>>93199537
Anyone else not think of this as a twist at all? I saw it coming when he was first talking to Hal and Duke. The lettering gave it away.

Very intrigued by this

>>93199537

He even included one of the most common bait questions.

>>93207698

North Africa, being on the Mediterranean Sea, has had a lot of crossover between other ethnic groups so you can justify Egyptians being whatever varying shade of brown you want, depending on the time period it takes place.

>>93202424

Read it here with everyone else, shitposting and so forth, and pick up the book later, probably wont be out till a good 6months or more after it ends anyways, probably will forget some stuff.

>>93206231
the way the mysterious figure was speaking all familiar like and antagonistic i was fully expecting A joker to be the reveal yeah.

theres nothing wrong with giving a bit away for the people paying attention though.. people are bitching about hals ring but it buzzed about an anomally a couple times... clearly this Joker, whereever hes from.. isn't supposed to be there and is fucking with all kinds of shit

>>93207577

Kill yourself, seriously...

Either read a book or don't, don't fucking skim the thing and then come here blathering nonsense... its fucking sad.

>>93207937

Not everyone has the cash for that, or an LCS nearby... also, despite having a pull list myself i'm kinda topped out anyways and I won't even be getting it because its 4.99 an issue, which with the exchange rate (in canada) ends up around 6.50 per issue, which is kinda fuckin nuts.

At least the trade is orderable online and more cost effective.
Supporting the trade is better than not buying it at all and just being a shitty pirate freeloader.

>>93208150
