DC Relaunching AGAIN

[MikeandRaph87]

So The Legion of Doom is making an official continuity appearance in the Justice League title? I would actually be interested if they had a title of their own! John Stewart is in Justice League instead of Hal? What was the story reason for it?

For people who were worried about Jon Kent in the wake of Bendis taking over, Supersons will be relaunched in August as a 12-issue limited series

Sweet! Glad we're getting more Super Sons stories.

Hmm...you might have to start worrying about Jon again, turns out the new maxi-series is set before Bendis takes over

Selina debuts a new look in August.

I knew from the beginning that having Bendis on Superman was going to ruin all the events that has proceeded it. I have never understood the love or adoration that guy gets. I think he is a one-noted writer that has made some good stories, but overall isn't all he's cracked up to be.

Oh well, time for talking head panels and lots of unnecessary drama that will eventually go nowhere and not mean much.

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps will end in August

I doubt Batwoman will remain axed for too long given the character is turning up in the CW Arrowverse

Well, I figured Morrison would take charge after #50. That is confirmed, but also that instead of #51 he will have a new number one.

I am a little confused. So Batman and Catwoman are getying married not Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle? Why would the costumes marry or even let it be known?

It's easier to let people know Batman and Catwoman are getting married than a billionaire philanthropist and a convicted cat-burgler/mob boss, plus it gives the Gotham underworld extra reason to fear the dark knight as now he has someone who is privy to the mob rule's secrets on his side.

I signed up to pull Nightwing vs Hush and Batgirl vs Riddler before I pick up Batman with #50 on. That is where my pieces of knowledge comes from.

So are Bruce and Selina not getting married? Or if they are how will that work? Batman a brooding and cold individual who wants people to fear him despite his no-kill policy seemed like he would be doing the opposite by marrying Catwoman. Him having her as an ally should give him privy to mob rule's secrets without it being known they are married.

Bruce dated Selina from '78-'85 and it was not an issue. Bruce met her during one of his community events when she was giving back after she reformed. Not too hard to spin it like Levitz and Wein did. I am excited for their marriage, but I think of the people under the mask.

Hellblazer Rebirth was cancelled too. Not surprised nothing can hold a candle to the original comics by Vertigo.

Big news from DC today, Geoff Johns has stepped down as Chief Creative Officer to focus on his production company, and Jim Lee has taken his place

https://www.newsarama.com/40305-jim-...e-officer.html

Johns ain't going away though, because he will now write a new Shazam! book as well as a book focusing on the Three Jokers storyline teased over two years ago

The three Jokers thing is gonna be terrible. Still interested to read it, though... morbid curiosity.

[MikeandRaph87]

Geoff is not done as a writer for another year or two.

So when will my DC wish come true and Dan Didio leaves with the door hitting him on the way out?

I liked Geoff's Hal Jordan and Wally West stories.

[ZariusTwo]

Turns out the new Superman group editor does'nt like Lois and Clark being married, but is enjoying how Bendis is handling it.

The next crisis will start before the current company-wide event finishes. Tom King will write Heroes in Crisis about a crisis hotline not for war veterans, but costumed heroes.

Eh. I can't think of anything by Tom King I've liked. Not Batman, not Sheriff of Babylon, not Vision.

Autocorrect is not my friend.

He wants to humanize Batman. The character needs it, I am just not sure King's approach is it.

[ZariusTwo]

Yeah, I'm not picking this up...seems DC are slipping down the edgelord slope again with a lot of their titles and that's not their biggest strength. You'd think Rebirth would have taught them some much needed lessons over what people like.
