DC RELAUNCHING entire Universe in September

[Darth Snoopy]

Why was my post with all the new #1 covers deleted?

 

[**16k**]

Actually, I'm pretty confident with the new movie...


My initial reaction was: "oh God, no everything BUT Nolan" and was dismayed.

But since then, all the rest has been flawless: Snyder, awesome casting... so yes, pretty confident it can turn out well. I just hope Nolan will be too busy with TDK rises to poke his nose in!

Probebly a "nod" to what we'll have to suffer through when Snyders syperman comes out next year...

Did Tony Stark design Supes new outfit?

Do you guys know of any online comic book shops where you can pre-order the new Superman? And when it's going to be released?

 

[Kicksplode]

It's coming out in September. If you're looking to pre-order now you'll probably find the best price on DCBService.com. They go anywhere from 35-75% off depending on what deals they're running for specific books.

DCBS isn't in business anymore

Oh wow really? The website is still up, so it didn't look like it...Any other online sites then?

Are you sure about that? The site looks pretty functional and updated to me.

Unless they just closed down within the last week...I'm pretty sure they still are in business.

I just received some comics from them yesterday.

 

[JC]

Yeah it looks pretty functional to me also...I can't find any pre order options for the Superman on that site or anywhere else tho...Unless, it's just not up yet...

 

[Kabukiman]

You'll be able to order in the next month or so when the updated issue of Previews comes out. Once the relaunch stuff is in Previews, you'll be able to order.

You guys saw the news on "resting off" the JSA?

https://robot6.comicbookresources.c...ty/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

"One of the many questions surrounding DC Comics’ line-wide renumbering centered on the absence of Justice Society of America, a title that in recent years had undergone its own high-profile reboot and spawned two spinoff series. The Justice Society, with a sprawling membership that includes Golden Age characters (or their namesakes) like The Flash, Hawkman, Green Lantern and Hourman, reached deep into DC, and comic-book, history, forming the very first team of superheroes.

But Justice Society wasn’t among the 52 books rolled out by the publisher last week. Neither, for that matter, was Power Girl, whose title character has been closely associated with the JSA since her debut in 1976. And the solicitation for Mister Terrific #1, featuring a new take on “the world’s third-smartest man” — and two-time chairman of the team — makes no mention of the group. Then came the unveiling on Friday of Action Comics #1 which, as Robot 6′s J.K. Parkin pointed out, refers to “a world that doesn’t trust their first Super Hero.”

If all of that isn’t enough to signal the end, or non-existence, of the world’s first team of superheroes, official word came over the weekend from Co-Publisher Dan DiDio, who wrote on his Facebook page, “As for JSA, we have decided to rest this concept while we devote our attention on the launch of the three new Justice League series. As for other characters and series not part of the initial 52, there are plenty of stories to be told, and we’re just getting started.”

As with any demise in superhero comics, this one is probably only temporary (heck, the JSA itself has been put to “rest,” only to be resurrected, a handful of times over the past 60 years). However, when the publisher is pushing a “modern” and “contemporary” take on its superhero universe, grappling with graying characters so firmly rooted in World War II will undoubtedly prove problematic."

Pffft! Problematic my butt!! more like, "we can't be bothered with these old golden age characters" or "our imaginative brain cells are being stretched thin as it is without having to work this in our new continuity."

First Grayson is demoted to Nightwing, then Tim and the Titans get the shaft (at least design-wise), and now no JSA? Final straw, DC. Don't get me started on Babs as Batgirl and Power Girl disappearing. Somebody wake me up when they fire DiDio, Lee and Johns. Yeah, even you, Geoff Johns. Let somebody else play in your sandbox after we scoop out the poop you left in there.

Kind of like the actors playing the character: There is the real one (CR) and all the others who're just actors. I know it sounds stupid, but that's the way I feel...

That's what everyone thought about Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. I remember whan the first trailer for Batman Begins came out. All my friends were saying it was going to be crap, Keaton is Batman, ect. Even when Ledger was cast the haters came out of the woodwork to put Jack on a pedestall. Look how that turned out.

So what? Jack will always be better than Ledger and this still sucks.

Are you serious?

Kabukiman's law: As a Sideshow Freaks discussion grows longer, the probability of a post involving Heath Ledger approaches one.

 

[thenammagazine]

Are you serious?

Yup. I don't swing from Ledger's nuts. Prepare your heart.... I also don't think he deserved the Oscar for the role but it was given to him out of sympathy. Ledger's done far better movies and played far more deserving characters. If you strip away the face paint, the Joker Ledger played could've been any random psychopath. Nicholson's was so much Joker it couldn't have been anybody else and is the sole reason, a short, fat man, despite being the exact polar opposite of what the Joker is, was able to sell us on him being Joker.
