DC Relaunching AGAIN - Page 19

*CyberCubed* · 05-25-2016, 11:59 AM

So how does the 3 Jokers thing made sense, especially since the first Joker looks like the 50's/60's era Joker who is more comical and silly rather than menacing or violent? Especially when this incarnation of Batman is nothing like how he was written in the 50's or 60's.

And also if there were 3 Jokers howcome only one of them is seen at a time? Does one die before another one comes? Did all 3 of them use Harley as a bicycle and she was too stupid to figure out she was boning a different one each time?

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 05-25-2016, 12:01 PM

3 Jokers is an idiotic choice. I don't care what they do with it, it's stupid and, again, misses the whole point of Batman and Joker's sick symbiotic relationship.

Well she's a lesbian right? How could she ever know the difference?

the Rebirth #1 special didn't even really deal with the "3 Jokers".

it just had Alfred ask Batman if there truly could be more than one and Batman insisted that there wasn't. and that was IT!
probably just another red herring so they can set up yet another lackluster DC event/cross-over.

All that build up and wait for the Joker trio bit? Perhaps it is three personalities that have surfaced thus three different Jokers. There was the recent suggestion he was centuries old as to why he survives dozens of death experiences and keeps coming back. It seems like a cop out. I am just going to pretend his real name is Jack Napier and go with it. The continuity is changing over anyway.

Nah, man. Their names are actually canon, but all from different iterations:

But then, this is supposed to be a two year long game, so we just have to be patient. At least this explains why all the relationships went wonky and takes the blame off of every character.

Looking forward to how love overcomes doubt.

my boy swamp thing needs to be in the mix!

YUP.

Drives me nuts how Kyle's been completely sidelined over the past several years so it could be The Hal Show again. Much like how Wally was sidelined and then wiped out of continuity after Barry was brought back. Really makes me resent those characters.

I legitimately scoured that image looking for Bart until I realized you likely meant Wally. And then I got sad.

...do they literally just mean the Pre-Crisis, Post-Crisis and New 52 versions? I haven't read the special and have no idea what's being referred to, mind you.

Oh... that's his new costume? Ok...

*Andrew NDB* · 05-25-2016, 05:47 PM

The general plan is to probably slowly ease the old continuity back in and milk it for the next couple of years. Bart will come back eventually, etc..

*CyberCubed* · 05-25-2016, 05:51 PM

They should have retconned out Jason Todd and Damian again.

You shut your mouth, Mister I-Don't-Read-Comics. Those characters are great.

*CyberCubed* · 05-25-2016, 07:17 PM

Jason Todd's death and revival were done well, but when the character is around he's just kind of there. There really is no point for him to be alive.

Also Damian kind of rubs me the wrong way. He has the same arrogant attitude people complained Jason Todd had and he's a borderline Mary Sue at times. Its like the writers are trying too hard to make Damian a, "special snowflake" and making him out to be this amazing character because he's Batman's son, he's related to Ra's Al Ghul, he came back from the dead, he has superpowers, he's trained to be an assassin, etc. Its like DC writers were filling out a checkbox list saying, "Oh, what else can we add to Damian's backstory/character to make him badass?"

You've stated on multiple occasions you don't even read comics, why would you care?
