Why?

Why would he make robots that can be turned on him and why would he have the JL fight them?! Even if he didn't make them, he should have known something was up since the robots were made to look like the JL.

Andy Kubert variant

>shit art
>sucking batmeme's dick
dropped. thanks for story timing anyways, but i'm out

>>94645353
Toyman made them, presumably forced to, and inserted this to get back at mongul

This is absolutely fucking terrible. Legitimately fucking awful. It's like Snyder thought anyone actually liked super heavy.

I considered picking this up on the stand, would NEVER put garbage like this on my pull, but god damn this is bad. It's Star Wars 2 gladiator games mixed with power rangers.

Wondy shouting formations, batman being a faggot, "see the 90s", the constant "cut the swear off but the reader will fill it in". This is made for 50 year old men who still wear wallets with chains and 8 year olds who's fathers are pathetic 50 year old men who still wear wallets with chains on them.

He forced Toyman (this version is a hero.) to make them. Toyman outsmarted him because that's his shtick.
Learn to read you twat.

>>94645245
This is dumb and I fucking love it.
All events should be exactly this, mindless dumb actions rather than the "nothing will ever be the same" bullshit they keep shoving down our throats.

>>94645578
You posted more images than in a normal storytime. Just saying

>>94645245
>Snyder book
>Batman uses yet another fucking robot to solve his problems.

And here I had hoped Iron-Bat had died in the Nu52. I counted once. Bruce ended somewhere around 9 problems during the nu52 with robot suits.

Very Heavy Metal, which I guess is appropriate.

>>94645266

Eddie Banganza editing this? Is he new bat editor?

>>94646222
Actually there's more based on the recolored/uncolored versions of some of the variants.

>>94645706
there's no "just sayin" there. It's pretty clearly a preview.

Though I do agree this looks terrible.

>>94645181
Capullo really phoning in this cover.

>>94645181
Why is this art so fucked up

>>94646293
>>94646264
He was the only hope I had for this "artist centric" event. All hope is gone.

>>94645255
Thought the exact same thing, with the Toyman and Mongul stuff. Apparently not though.

>>94645753
Seems appropriate

>>94645353
Filthy speedreader.

I'm not even following this event/story/whatever, but everything you need to know is contained in these pages.

End yourself.

I miss Morrison

>>94645245
>JUSTICE LEAGUE MEGAZORD
So apparently, the whole "metalhumans" thing was merely the appetizer. Snyder's just getting started with his stupid bullshit.

A Justice League Megazord, fucking really?

DC also spoiled the last four pages of Metal #1

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2017/08/14/dc-comics-dark-nights-metal-kicks-off-with-an-unexpected-vertigo-comics-surprise/

>>94645640
There is a middle between "where we go, we don't need a story" and "this story will change your life".

Especially in comics where most artists draw poser action scenes, instead of dynamic ones.

>>94645245
I will never understand Americans obsession with Power Rangers...

>>94645245
Justice Megazord.

>>94645245
Is Snyder taking ideas from his son? His son is a little kid.

This is the dumbest shit ever.

>everyone is too young to have gotten that the shillOP referred to it as Voltron and not Power Rangers.

I did it too up there in all honesty.

Side note, if I was into rock and metal or heavy metal or whatever you rockheads call it, would I be excited for this?

Not that Marvel's hip-hop variants were something that were big for me but it seems like this takes that idea of hip hop culture and comics and made it part of a story with "rock" culture. Like, they clearly want that "you need to listen to THIS album while reading THIS book" aesthetic.

So my question, really, is: to someone excited for this, is it that aesthetic that does it for you?

Because the art is a let down, the story and writing is absurd (in a shitty way), and the spoilers and twists that have come out have only served to bolster my tepidity of the general plot and it's "ramifications", which are hopefully kept to a bare minimum.

>>94646884
>>everyone is too young to have gotten that the CBR referred to it as Voltron and not Power Rangers.
ftfy

>shillOP
t. reads the competition

>>94646884
Voltron came out like last week. What do you mean young?

>>94645753
Well, to be fair, without his ring Hal is powerless from the waist down.

>>94646406
See, here's a big difference and I thing I'll never understand about /co/. If Morrison had written this, it would be the coolest thing ever, but instead, because it's Snyder, it's fucking garbage. You can't have it both ways. Double standards are bullshit and you're all hypocritical fuckholes.

>>94646895
I don't buy any marvel comics and spend about 200 on DC each month. Congrats on being wrong though faggot.

Why are you excited for this, you dodged my question.

>>94647053
>If Morrison had written this, it would be the coolest thing ever, but instead, because it's Snyder, it's fucking garbage.
A lot of it is false flagging.

>>94647078
>I don't buy any marvel comics and spend about 200 on DC each month.
Do you read storytimes instead?

>Why are you excited for this, you dodged my question.
I won't answer your question because I don't care about that.

>>94645181
should be called batman and JL

>>94646264
You kidding he's thrilled with that cover and if you believe Uncle Rich had to fight his editors for it.

>>94647053
If Morrison had written this they would have been in the suits by the end of the second page and they would have actually gotten to fuck shit up with it. It's horribly paced

>>94646264
>>94646312
You tards dont get that it's a british "fuck you V" hand gesture? It must be a reference to an album he likes

>>94647053
The whole "if X had made this instead" argument never works. The fact is that X didn't, and if they were it would have been done in a different way in different context with a different underlying theme or meaning.

And even if it was the exact same thing, the work could be approached differently. When you care about creators, you don't just judge each piece of media they create individually. You also, consciously or not, see the work as being part of the creator's own story.
So, when you say that a Morrison written Dark Days would be better received, I disagree. It either would be different enough to warrant a different evaluation entirely (meaning it could be better OR worse), or it would be the exact same thing it is now, and would be seen as Grant straying away from his path and would be heavily criticized.

A name can explain the reception or a work of course -the only reason this is getting made even if it sounds terrible is because of Snyder- but it doesn't hold when you start putting some thoughts into it.

>>94647053
That's because Snyder's trying to ape Morrison and failing spectacularly.

Snyder's strength is on a more down to earth stories, but he insists making them "epics" and the result are dinosaurs and lasers *played straight*.

(And yes, most probably Morrison could write the concept much better, because he simply is a much better writer)

"Cassandra engine" used against Wonder Woman, is that some kind of fighting ai based on Cassandra Cain?

>>94645397
This is the saddest post I've ever read in 4chan

>>94647425
Really? Really, anon? You haven't been here long, have you? Like, have you even seen Boco post?

>>94647053

Show me one comic written by Morrison that is even close to this "Voltron / Power Rangers" bullshit.

I'm not saying Morrison is flawless, but the level of cringe here is very hard to top.

>>94645245
Boy DC talk about jumping the shark

pathetic

>>94647053
The closest thing to this made by Morrison is the Thought Robot from Superman Beyond, and that was way better than this stupid Megazord thing.

>>94645237
Why does this colorist think that everyone should have powder/ice blue eyes? He did the same thing during the SnyderBats run.

>>94646222
DC doing what it does best

So how do we all feel about Dream being in this?

Metal leading into Doomsday Clock will lead to Batman not being sure from himself anymore.

“We’re definitely gonna put him through the ringer. I mean, Scott showed me his scripts and I was like, ‘damn, dude, this is some dark stuff.’ But Doomsday Clock actually takes place a year from now, it takes place later on, so they’re not as connected, but they definitely work with each other. But we really are trying to run Batman through a hard time right now. He’s the best superhero in the world, so you know he’s gonna fight back, but you gotta put him through some dark stuff

Like literally hate it. Snyder is shit.

The only good that could come from this is Gaiman writing a Sandman mini and ignoring what happened here.
