Batman:
Dick, Jason, and Damian clowning around in a burger joint while Bruce tries to be serious. I loved it. Oh, and BUMBLEBAT was there, too.

Man, Multiplicity in Superman was such a dissapointment. They killed off a JL Incarnate member for no reason too. Supes learns he's an anomaly in the multiverse and the main villain is kidnapped by frickin' Oz before he can give any answers as to his own motivations for capturing the Supermen (other than "I have to protect my neck of the woods from an impending calamity"). This storyline needed at least another month of issues.
JL addressed the Leauge's problems with Superman, with Supes telling them they need to accept him as he's not that different from the Superman they lost Batman was great, I agree. King can write a pretty funny Damian. Cover did'nt amount to much as Selina only appeared in one or two pages and nothing was made further of the romantic fling they spent across the last two issues. Cyborg is excellent, more people should be reading that. We got the origin of the comic's big bad at last as well as the identity of his henchman, and Victor and his hacker friend have a great rapport with one another...Victor stuns him when he asks how he has sex Looks like Mera is having predictable cold feet about her wedding to Arthur because of the Widowhood prophecy...doubtful this will last as DC are hinting a wedding special for this year |

In Action Comics We see her go undercover in a joint collaberation with the press and police, and bumbling Clark almost wrecks the operation. She stalks him and learns that whenever he enters his old apartment...he dissapears. Even his landlord admits he has'nt seen Clark for months. Clark asks Lois out and at first she resists, but then seizes the oppertunity to learn more about him and accepts, wondering what it is she'll tell her husband. Luckilly for her, Supes is preoccupied with a comoatose Lana
And then in Superwoman it's revealed that Classic Lois has the same memories and experiances of New 52 Lois, something I think she's kept secret from Clark and Jon! |

3 out of 4 this week...
Red Hood and the Outlaws I am a sucker for "Of Mice and Men" homages, and this issue was amazing. Still don't believe Lobdell's really writing this series... maybe he was replaced by a Changeling? All-Star Batman Meh? Eh. Duke's backup story was boring, and the the Poison Ivy story was... I dunno, it felt like one of those "change the villain's backstory because I want to do a new spin for no good reason" and that was the main takeaway. Other than that... boring. Which is a shame, Ivy is one of my favorites. Detective Comics The main story was beautiful. Cassandra is a favorite, and this issue really handled her well. Apparently Shiva is tied to the League of Shadows? The Azrael story with an AI... meh. I've never liked Azrael. The Tim flashback... intriguing premise. Can't wait to see this followed up on! The Flash I love the Rogues. Love 'em to death. This is a great story arc... quite intrigued to know what Cold's new toy will do next month!

Is it still Fake Azrael, or did they ever bring back Jean Paul Valley?

It's Jean-Paul. Very vague on whether or not he was ever Azbats, though.

Whoa. That is of interest to me... I did collect the whole Azrael series way back.

Well, like with anything, trust is earned... and DC violated my trust. And then violated it some more. And then touched me here, on the bear:
And I'm not touching anything DC does until they're a super long way into it and haven't shown any reverse gears.

so even though they elude to Bane having broken Batman's back in the past there's no way it could have actually fit into their time-line. plus Jean Paul Valley showed no signs of even having been Batman when the New 52 introduced him in Batman & Robin Eternal. (also.... avoid that B&R Eternal series as if it were a fatal disease)

It's been well established time has been edited...everything before N52/Rebirth still happened, it's just nobody remembers certain details. I can't beleive it's a year on from this thing starting and everyone is still confused about it's endgame.
The sooner we get stories like Superman Reborn and The Button the better. Speaking of The Button |

Trickster is a new trickster, a kid that no one likes.

So Trickster is dead still and the teenage replacement is active as has been the status quo since Countdown years back. The son Boomerang is still dead and his dad is alive again. The Top simply has not been referenced to know if he is alive or dead. Odd that Scudder was brought back instead of McCollugh. This seemed to be an acceptable switch unlike the Trickster one.
