#is this superman mix with batman? maybe but i still think is neat idea

[toxictac]

so now i got the main story of the last drawing i wanna talk about why i came with the idea of lithium spiderman and some of the quirks of it story and characters,

so yeah a fuck ton of explinations up ahead

Why i made it in the first place: outside of general fun of just making a spider man au (aus are always fun to imagine), it was because a comic i belive where spiderman and peter separater those type of stories always leave the idea of peter and spiderman as a thing that needs to coexist but it did keep me wonder we see a lot of peter not be able to cope with not having super powers, and the weight of the responsabilitie of not being a super hero has on him... but i feel there isnt a story where peter isnt... well peter dont get me wrong peter has to manage his spiderman life with his normal life (that is kinda the appeal of spiderman stories) but we rarely see why spiderman needs to be peter, why a version of peter that is just spiderman wouldnt be better without making spiderman over ego centric or out of character (in my opinion that is) of course the human element is always leave as garanted but i found intriguing the idea of a peter parker who only has his super hero style and has to learn to become peter parker, insted of the other way around

the story perse: story whise i imagine it would center around peter trying to get to norman osborn and destroy his military operations but in a more depper level it woud talk about how spiderman life style by itself is destructive over peters heath and mind untill he would have to relise (thanks to the help of black cat and other characters) the need of a normal life outside of being a super hero, learning the basics of how it is to have something outside of his "work" and learning to apreaciate the world better with his new friends (and a new identety)

little quirks: most of the villains of spiderman would have a more direct correlation with him being either old coworkers, long time enemies (before he turn on osborn) or people he has wrong in his past gwen is doctor optopus and had a crush on peter, she has conflicted feeling after his betrayal and becomes sortha of a rival for peter later on gwen also becomes venom trying to discover the spider syrium green goblin are osborn robots that he uses to hunt down peter, while he uses what he calls the orange goblin suit osborn has an ai assitant (similar to jarvis from ironman) who is secretly tying to over take him and is the principal responsible for controling the green goblin robots most villains and heroes have more tech base desing (tho not quite far future tech but futuristicish) black cat is mary jane and will be responsible to help peter adjust to his civilian life she is also a rockstar, that uses the info she gets from people in her circle to make her robberies j. jonah jameson was taken off his comapany after taking too much of a stand againts osborn, he was promtly remove and supposely assasinate but now as an annoyimous podcaster and blogger, he goes around berrating and getting information on osborn he is also the soul suporter of spiderman of this au, being a beliver in someone who attones for his wrongs to make a better future

#txtalk #yeahhhhhh might have gone a bit overboard with the explination #i really like the idea tho #it isnt THAT original but i love the idea of the reverse super hero learning #someone who is very good at being a super hero having to learn to live as a civilian and create a more heathy live style #is this superman mix with batman? maybe but i still think is neat idea #plus the idea of black cat mary jane is very appealing to me #specialy cause i feel it would make for an interstic dynamic with spiderman

Comics this week (12/1/2020)?

calvatronlordofall said: Today’s comics?

Far Sector #9: Another comic I won’t understand until it’s done and I can reread the whole thing but that I’m enjoying anyway. Really, really hope Jemisin continues contributing to the medium in some form after this, because she absolutely has a gift for it.

Strange Adventures #7: He doesn’t care for tyranny, folks. And JEEESSSUUUUS, Doc

DCeased: Dead Planet #6: Some quality DC Comics nonsense problem-solving, but not sure at all whether the chips are gonna fall in favor of the stuff about this I’ve been really liking or the aspects I simply don’t care about at all.

Tales From The Dark Multiverse: Wonder Woman: War Of The Gods: While I’ve seen plenty of them around the periphery in anthologies and so forth I think this is Vita Ayala’s first full work I’ve been exposed to, and tbh I can’t say I’m taken, even given the pretty threadbare-seeming material for them to work with. I’ll still give Children of the Atom a try, but my expectations have been lowered. Nice seeing Trish Mulviihill’s colors though, thought they looked familiar and it turns out she worked on my beloved Superman & Bugs Bunny.

Batman: The Adventures Continue #7: Yeah, now that it’s all said and done, definitely the best take on the death and return of Jason Todd.

Batman #104: Art’s taken a hit, but Ghostmaker’s getting more and more fun as a character the more that comes out about him. And surprising seeing Dick in his real Robin suit in flashback, Dark Designs had him still rocking that New 52 abomination. It really seems like the policy RE: costumes in flashbacks with him remains up in the air at any given time?

Anonymous said: Thoughts on the long-awaited BatCat?

Anonymous said: Bat/Cat the objectively best comic of the week. Thots.

Batman/Catwoman #1: I imagine disappointingly, quite few - both the best and worst part of this book is that King’s entire spiel on “This is gonna be such a different animal from my regular run, this is my DKR, this is my ultimate prestige statement on the characters” was pure hype, this is just the next issue of his Batman run with Clay Mann as the new main artist. And it’s good! I like it! I think it’d take awhile for anybody to tumble onto the ‘three timelines’ aspect of it if they didn’t go in knowing about it since the color of Catwoman’s suit is the only obvious tipoff for a chunk of it, but it’s still a well-constructed piece of comics in line with the story up to this point, even if it’s so in line with it that it pretty much puts the lie to the notion that this was originally conceived of as a special prestige project in the same way as Strange Adventures or Rorschach. Mostly I’m just struck now that it’s out by the guts of doing a straight sequel to Mask of the Phantasm, given that’s maybe the singularly least divisive major Batman story: everybody on every side of the Batman-loving aisle recognizes it as hallowed ground, so nobody’s gonna not be let down if you fuck it up. I really need to rewatch it, it’s been well over a decade and unlike Return of the Joker my memories of it have almost entirely faded.

Black Widow #4: The further in I get the more I’m struck by the cleverness of the central conceit. How do you construct a drama around a century-old woman whose business has her have to mostly forsake most normal human connection? Make the literal supervillain plot that she’s been forced to have incredibly intimate human connections, and now she’s just gotta deal with that on top of what would otherwise be fairly routine Black Widow stuff.

Miles Morales: Spider-Man #21: Hate to say it folks, but even discounting the severity of the delays this arc’s been a dud. Really hoping it finds its feet again soon.

King In Black #1: Holy cow, this was ass. I went in thinking “well, I’ve resigned myself to having to get this to understand the crossovers into books I’m already getting and tie-in minis I do care about, but Cates still has a baseline level of competency so it should still be perfectly readable”, but this is just...nothing. This is that modern Dan Jurgens tier where it’s so bland and perfunctory and inoffensively executed it loops back around to infuriating, except Dan Jurgens’s writing if nothing else at least doesn’t strut around in tangible self-regard as the next great sales-shattering triumph of the Punk Rock God Of Comixxx like Cates’. And when was the last Marvel event on this scale with such little hype behind it? Even Empyre seemed like it had more weight on arrival, and much as I enjoyed it I’m pretty sure that book mainly existed to fill space until we got this. Maybe it’s just the circle I run in. I swear I remember Thanos Wins being pretty fun, and I just reread Atomahawk and that was still a hoot, so it’s a shame Cates has turned out this way, and worse he’s ended up Marvel’s new golden boy. Unless my dad likes it (and if so hey, he’s not alone, I imagine this is selling gangbusters) I’m sure not grabbing another issue, so I guess I’ll have to do my best with context clues in figuring out what’s going on for...Guardians of the Galaxy, S.W.O.R.D., Daredevil, Namor, Return of the Valkyries, the Joe Fixit Immortal Hulk one-shot, Iron Man/Doctor Doom, and the next book below. Fuck.

The Union #1: I’ve only read Everything Used To Be Black And White for Jack Staff but I was definitely curious what Grist would do here, and it didn’t disappoint! Fun little story, bunch of neat character ideas I’m looking forward to seeing developed further, very lived-in feeling slice of its corner of a superhero world.

Marvels Snapshots: Civil War: An excellent little parable that I’m surprised we didn’t actually see the likes of in ‘06, and frankly worth getting a mediocre Miles Morales arc for (even if it was disappointing that that one had to be where the ball was dropped) if this is where Ahmed’s attention was going instead.

Daredevil #25: So I turned two pages at once and accidentally spoiled myself at the last possible moment for the big reveal of the issue, so that sucks. Still a great issue though - one that manages to function as a logical extension of an incredibly street-level story even though it can only possibly exist as an extrapolation of the wildest excesses of the Marvel universe - but I cannot imagine how the hell the next is gonna cleanly pivot into King in Black shenanigans.

Kill A Man: A new OGN by Steve Orlando, cowritten with Phillip Kennedy Johnson and with art by Al Morgan and letters by Jim Campbell, the reductive though not inaccurate pitch is ‘queer Creed’. But since this is likely to sail under the radar I need to emphasize this is one of Orlando’s absolute best works, a real triumph of the form that’s among the best comics of the year (good GOD does this put to shame 99% of superhero comics fight scenes by the end), and a must-buy for any fans of his work. I’m just gonna let how hard the title and solicit text go speak for themselves:

“As a child, James Bellyi watched his father die in the ring as payback for slurs thrown at the other fighter. Today, he's a Mixed Martial Arts star at the top of his game, and one of the most popular fighters in the world...until he's outed as gay in his title shot press conference. Abandoned overnight by his training camp, his endorsements, his fans and his sport, to regain his title shot Bellyi is forced to turn to the last person he ever wants to see again: Xavier Mayne, a gay, once-great fighter in his own right...and the man James once watched kill his father.”

Martin’s opinions on Superman Vs. Goku

For those of you who care, I wrote this for a guy on FB who was interested when I trolled some folks! ^.^

Keep in mind that my Goku is Clark’s biggest fan and thinks he’s really neat!

Due to a random ass encounter with a fanboy who's actually being somewhat reasonable, I'll post my actual thoughts on the fights, keep in mind it's opinion-based, and set with the context of the battles that the Screw Attack questions posed, since that was when it first came up for me:

Death Battle 1: I feel like the result was correct, though the work was wrong, like on a math test. Thus, I consider their answer to be wrong, and it marks down on the final grade. Being that this was prior to BoG's announcement, it wasn't known of, so this makes it non-viable content, and thus we'll judge that accordingly. At this point, Goku's powers are very finite, and Clark's ability is far beyond what Goku has achieved, based on the fact that he's unable to 1v1 any of the Buus and come out on top (Majin (Fat/Good) Buu being a solid maybe since SS3 Goku v. him wasn't really conclusive). Is Goku's math high enough as presented in the video? No, but in all honesty, Goku has the ability to match, at best, a creature who was half of Super Buu's total power (at base) that could destroy the entire universe when angered sufficiently, based on the word of The Kais, given the access of the two powerful kais he absorbed in this state, and even rip holes between dimensions by screaming. Of course, this situation is one that Clark could definitely beat, accounting for the fact that it took a Potara fusion for Goku to be able to overpower, and Clark is certainly more than twice as powerful than Goku. The Super Saiyan 4 is kind of stupid, but probably there for a cool factor in the fight, unless they were going to actually USE GT Goku for the fight, which despite having a stronger transformation, would make Goku more likely to lose. It's not so cut and dry in the stats, I maintain in terms for raw skill and combat experience, Goku probably edges Superman a bit, but not by such a huge margin that people unaware of Superman's martial training from WW and Batman may convince you it is. And with the past use of Instant Transmission in combat, and the nature of omni-directional speed which Goku excels at, as opposed to the Point A-to-B speed we see more from Clark, the speed category is a mixed bag. )Now for the one that will probably be a bit more controversial.

Death Battle 2 Super Saiyan Boogaloo: The context put here is not only Goku with his Godly transformations (which he doesn't have the base Red form any more but we'll forgive based on Screw Attack's general ignorance of shit and cool factor of the fight) but the improved ki from his training with Whis leading to Res. of F since that was the most recently released movie, thus that will be our equivalent saga. Since the anime has established more about it, we will use the anime-based information despite Screw Attack butt-rushing the release out to make sure they wouldn't have to say Goku. Speed is still quite a mixed bag, with Superman still probably having a better point A-to-B speed, but Goku's omni-directional speed due to his more frequent use of it in combat (based on the way Clark has had to fight it's an experience issue more than a capability one) and use of flight and agility gives him that in terms of maneuverability. Those of you familiar with Hit's fight might be questioning why we're not applying his breaking out of Time Skip for speed, that is A) Because it hasn't happened by the Res. of F. Arc in the anime, and B) Because that may not necessarily have been a feat of speed as much as willpower. Durability is still decidedly a Superman category, because despite Goku being caught with his guard down by a third party, as per the author's explanation, the focused ring beam still happened. It's a tough call to make on how powerful the blast is (many guys around here assume it's like Superman's heat vision so for exposition sake let's say so) but his durability is likely FAR beyond what Screw Attack initially estimated, due to their idea being based on what Gero guessed, who was designing androids with outdated info. Not a good way to guess, but we've also seen Superman as only hurt-able by other similarly powerful entities. Goku has not had this thing in the past, still being afraid of the pain inflicted by his wife (though this is a gag) but more importantly the beam. Strength is where the biggest, and most controversial shift, occurs. In terms of power for hitting factors come into play such as technique, body mechanics, the velocity of the striking surface, and actual strength of the user. Presumably, the biggest roles in this to increase are the speed of Goku's punches and how hard he can hit, given in The Battle of Gods arc, he went from not being able to even touch Beerus, to being able to put up a pretty good fight for Beerus. In an earlier bout the two underwent, which becomes key to the proof on Goku's improvement overall, Beerus didn't even put effort into it. It took a single hit for him to be able to beat Goku, and it wasn't even a real one. Several hours later, he then made short work of Majin Buu (fat version) who it took more hits to beat, though we can attest part of this to being Beerus more holding back and punishing Buu, and then the Z-Fighters, rather than outright trumping the entire group in a similar manner to what he did to Goku, with the exception of Vegeta and his rage which allowed him to overwhelm Beerus momentarily because "His Bulma". It can still be assumed, due to Buu's superior durability and regenerative properties, Beerus definitely could lay into Buu more, and probably had to, in order to get the same result with Goku. Now we get into the nitty-gritty. After Goku gained the Super Saiyan God powers, he had a significant increase in battle power, and after a bit, became an opponent that Beerus was satisfied with, in his own way. This is big, because in earlier episodes we've seen Beerus destroy half of a planet simply by touching a table, making a conscious effort to do so. Now we've got Goku fighting this guy on somewhat equal footing (though Beerus spends most of the time "punching down" as it were to draw more power from Goku, eventually putting them on a scale of 1 to 10 with Goku at 6 and Beerus at 10) which allowed Goku to force Beerus into using 70% of his power in that fight. The important part here being that percentage, and that scale. During the fight, Goku and Beerus's fists met to generate massive shockwaves, so powerful that from orbit they were causing meteorological events across the entire planet's surface that threatened to destroy entire cities, but not quite destroy Earth. However, these shockwaves did something else. They grew stronger as they traveled outwards. Now those of you who have ever observed still water, and dropped something into it, know that a splash is always strongest at the center, or point of impact, shockwaves behave in the same manner. Thus, the colliding forces of these two's fists have defied our very understanding of physics itself, going beyond infinity, which with our current understanding, would generate a shockwave that never stopped at most, meaning that it would at best have a static amount of force, but not grow. The amount of force required to do this is unfathomable, and presumably beyond that of infinity, which we already can't fully comprehend either. Not only did they do this once, it occurred several times, as their fists met, only stopping once Goku began punching and using his chi in such a manner that it wouldn't happen again. Given the math, Goku's contributing about 37.5% of the force needed AT LEAST, given that Beerus may not have been using his full 70% at the point that this happened. Thus, says the conclusion that at worst, Goku's hitting power matches that of Superman's, if not exceeds it. Now back to something a bit simpler and less long-winded, in regards to combat prowess they're both considerable, with the first fight having their technical skill likely being quite close, with only a slight edge to Goku. But given an implied amount of time, and a zenkai boost from his previous fight, as the saiyan power boost occurs during battle as well, to minimize having the same injuries. Thus any trick that worked on Goku before may not work as well a second time, which may sound familiar to you DC buffs who know your spit about Doomsday. While not working in the same manner, this would be coupled wit Goku's inherent drive to train while in the afterlife, likely with King Kai assisting on the training for the conditioning, strategy, and possibly devising a new technique (assuming a Toriyama writing style) to try and better counter Clark's kryptonian physiology. Why do I bring all this up? Because it's not in Clark's nature to do training montages to fight off an opponent in such a manner, in both scenarios Clark was treated as a less than willing participant in the fights, fighting because Goku basically forced him to partake. If not his technical skill, Goku's raw combat power in general would improve, as well as his tactical and spatial understanding of Superman's abilities. And that's the tipping scale. People who believe in the Screw Attack answers like to refer to limits, and the construct in the narrative is true, but a key detail is missed. While Superman has no limits, he is also a limit himself for Goku to shatter. Son Goku gets stronger with every fight, every time, seemingly no matter what, Superman doesn't seem to benefit in this same manner, given his training only comes when absolutely necessary. The types of personality they have, and Goku's intelligences as opposed to Clark's, simply put him in a better position to overtake, then stay ahead, of his kryptonian rival. Goku is as strong as he is because he wants to be, Clark only remains as strong as he is because has to be to maintain safety. The only times he's ever pursued such training was to become a better hero, not to settle a grudge match. Goku undergoes training SPECIFICALLY to get stronger and defeat the people who outfought him in the past. Is it sill an epic fight? Oh yeah, definitely, and one for the record books, but whereas the first match ended similarly to how Goku's first battle with Beerus did, I feel the second fight would end with Goku managing to pull of a surprise victory against The Man of Steel.

Is that Solaris I see on the cover of Superman/WW Future State? He returns! I am suddenly interested in Future State.

Anonymous said: So, Future State? Not gonna lie, at the very least I'm liking the artist line up. Also, Idk about you, but the designs for Diana and Yara Flor (the Wonder Woman from the Amazon) are the only ones that I'm really liking so far.

Anonymous said: On Dc future state announcements???

Anonymous said:So. Future State's been officially revealed. Your thoughts?

‘Future State’ this, ‘Future State’ that! Look, what’re you gonna believe, Jim Lee or your lying eyes?

So this looks...pretty good? Infinitely better than their previous filler stuff like Zero Month/Villains Month/Future’s End/Convergence. And given Jo Mullein is part of this, Bendis isn’t doing these Superman issues, Steve Orlando mentioned on Twitter that he was told to set aspects of this up in Wonder Woman rather than it being allowed to appear apropos of nothing like most of these, and this isn’t built around a *single* all-encompassing tone or hook - along with getting Dan damn Mora to do your main promo images and a bunch of the character designs - I do believe the plan is that this is still going to lead into new ongoing series, just all the last couple of those crossovers I mentioned did. That’s probably where we’ll see Bendis doing Jon, the Zdarsky/Fraction thing, I expect more of Ridley Batman, and maybe one or two others. In any case, nice to see a bunch of fresh talent in the mix and a more diverse lineup both on and off the page, and a lot of these concepts are neat, even if there are as always some turds in the punch bowl. The anthology model being carried forward from the Walmart titles definitely heralds more of the same, whether in the main line or for a continuation of this. And as for the books themselves, I’m gonna take my reactions one by one.

The Next Batman: Obviously I’m down for this.

Dark Detective: Bruce having a specifically defined new role (as do most of the rest of the old guard) is a smart move for making this sustainable. Tamaki’s let me down recently, but Mora, and also if this follows up on Detective #1027 we might see the Black Casebook. Backups definitely look tepid though. I’m probably gonna hold off on making a call until there’s a preview.

Harley Quinn: Pass.

Robin Eternal: ehhhhhhhh

Catwoman: Oh hell yes, V/Schmidt doing a heist.

Nightwing: Nicola Scott doing Nightwing! Andrew Scott wrote a decent little Wonder Woman/Metal Men teamup story in one of the recent anthologies, so I’m up for this.

Batman/Superman: YES. This seems to be a bit of a prequel thing, but who cares, it’s Yang/Oliver doing World’s Finest.

Superman of Metropolis: I’ve only heard of Sean Lewis doing a few indie horror books, but of course I’m curious about the Jon-as-Superman book and the groundwork I expect it lays. His costume works for me, fitting that ‘sleek and futurey’ mandate without actually rocking the boat too much (and its differentiation is a lot more tolerable with Clark still rocking the cape and trunks), and the premise is really interesting - not surprising, as editor Jamie Rich says many of the ideas for the Superman books came from conversations with Grant Morrison. Which is probably why we’re seeing so much Seven Soldiers and DC One Million stuff in here, although bringing back Manhattan Guardian, given his background, and this premise, for this moment, is questionable at best.

Superman vs. Imperious Lex: This is probably going to be the best thing to come out of this whole shebang.

Superman: Worlds of War: Privately I called that Clark would be rocking the Kingdom Come getup in here (with the belt buckle from Man of Tomorrow for some reason?). I did NOT call that he would literally have the God of War sword. I’d be skeptical at best, but PKJ and Rich have both assured they’re not doing a Dark Superman thing with this, and hot damn, Midnighter backup by Becky Cloonan!

Superman/Wonder Woman: I think this is going to turn out to be one of the biggest gems of this entire enterprise. Dan Watters did an absolutely phenomenal short story for the last Batman: Secret Files, and it’s a big teamup against Solaris!

Kara Zor-El, Superwoman: The Bombshells team reunited! Here for it.

Justice League: God, this might be really good or it might be the biggest disappointment of the bunch. Just at the sight of that I want that to be the Justice League from now on, that is an all-timer iconic cover and set of designs to introduce a group of characters, the concept’s really good, and Flash being from another universe is so cool...and the actual book is Williamson/Rocha. Rocha’s a steady hand I trust well enough, but clearly this is where Mora should have been, and you’re really leaving this to Williamson? He has done good comics, but not many. I can only hope he’s basically a placeholder setting up the status quo for a Future State Justice League imprint book same as I think PKJ and Lewis are setting up whatever Bendis is going to do later. Still, I’m not writing this off entirely, Williamson has still done some good comics and this might well be as enjoyable a two-parter as it should be. And in any case, Ram V doing future stuff with the magic characters is a win.

Aquaman: I was going to say no thanks, but the premise is a little interesting, Daniel Sampere is a good hand, and I haven’t seen Brandon Thomas’s work before but at a glance he seems to have tried some ambitious sci-fi work at Image. I’ll call this a maybe.

The Flash: Hahaha, now we’re in the shit of it. Literally there is nothing about this that would indicate it was set in the future if not for the title, a flat regurgitation of the most tired old bullshit, and it’s by a Young Justice writer to boot. Glad to know even in the future the regular Flash book is going to suck.

Teen Titans: Speaking of books we can be assured will always suck

Shazam!: Who could possibly care

Green Lantern: This one I kinda don’t blame for being nothing, Far Sector is the big Green Lantern thing in this period and they’re not gonna fuck with that so they gotta work around the fringes. Hardly sympathetic enough to get me to buy it though.

Suicide Squad: Okay, alt-Earth Flash rules, but you come up with a disabled Flash with a heavily redesigned but still recognizable and extremely rad new look - looking every inch the “Far Sector but for Flash” premise I’ve been calling for - and you put her in this nonsense? And you waste Javier Fernandez here too? I guess Robbie Thompson is passable from what I’ve seen and maybe the whole Earth 3 thing will result in this turning out alright after all, but this feels like a waste, and that’s before you get to the one story here set in the 853rd century being about Black Adam.

Immortal Wonder Woman: Oh shit this one’s gonna rule though.

Legion of Superheroes: So’s this one!

Swamp Thing: This will be excellent too but I don’t care about Swamp Thing.

Wonder Woman: I’m seeing some immediate division on Wonder Woman - some like her new costume and some hate it (I think it’s really busy but like it a lot with the blues highlighted when Mora draws it), and I understand some have problems with a Brazilian Wonder Woman rooted entirely in Greek mythology rather than any sort of indigenous religion (which I am not remotely qualified to weigh in on). I’ll hope for the best, and obviously it’ll be very pretty, but I wasn’t blown away by Jones’ writing when I tried her Catwoman book, and I hope she won’t fall flat on her face regarding representation.

I’d divide this up into

* Basically no chance in hell: Harley Quinn, The Flash, Teen Titans, Shazam!, Green Lantern

* I’d need to hear good word of mouth: Dark Detective, Robins Eternal, Aquaman, Suicide Squad

* Fingers crossed, getting it but it could go either way: Superman of Metropolis, Justice League, Wonder Woman

* Yeah, I’ll grab this one, looks fun: Nightwing, Superman: Worlds of War, Kara Zor-El: Superwoman

* This is going to be really good: The Next Batman, Catwoman, Batman/Superman, Superman vs. Imperious Lex, Superman/Wonder Woman, Immortal Wonder Woman, Legion of Superheroes, and though I’m skipping it, Swamp Thing

A pretty incredible preliminary hit-miss ratio, and along with all I said before, big shoutout to Darran Robinson for across-the-board incredible logo design work. Like the Superman books mixing Morrison and Bendis, Batman is hyper-topical with a black Batman fighting super-cops who hate resistors in masks (whole Bruce can still be part of the fight but has to reckon with not being the guy in front throwing money around and setting terms anymore), Wonder Woman goes for the obvious pun, and JL feels appropriately iconic, while the rest is hit-or-miss as not central to further plans with this setting. I had zero expectations of this as anything other than Future’s End 2.0 with a couple leading into the not-5G imprint, but while I think that’s still the same basic endgame, for the most part it feels like they’re really trying with this one and I’ve got a good feeling about it.
