Phillip Kennedy Johnson is now the official new Superman writer. He assumes control of both Superman and Action Comics in March....and he's wrestled control of Jon away from Bendis. Jon will remain aged up though.

An infinite frontier of reboots, cancellations, commercially-driven crossovers, and Batman. So much frickin' Batman.

Glorious.

Black Adam now confirmed as a member of the Justice League.

https://twitter.com/DCComics/status/...587205/photo/1

New Flash creative team announced, their first arc is "The Redemption of Wally West" where Wally contemplates retirement, and he and Barry must decide who will go forward as the scarlet speedster.

So Justice League(2018 ) continues on?

I wonder if this means Wally West will have his own title and this is a prelude within the Flash book? Also, Hal Jordan, he is not in the Green Lantern book or anything?

Well, the guy taking over had been very public with his opinion he doesn't like Hal Jordan, so I see little point in giving him that character.

That sucks. I have been pulling a Green Lantern title since Hal returned when I was in high school. I have not read up on the writer and giving a Green Lantern title to anyone who hates Hal publicly? He is the definitive Green Lantern! That would be like assigning me a Jason Todd comic.

Interview with James Tynion on the future of the Bat line



https://www.gamesradar.com/batman-wr...21-and-beyond/



-Jim Gordon is the main protagonist of the Joker title, with the Joker very much still a major player in the shadows

-Barbra will be just as much a supporting character in Joker as she is in Nightwing. She will also be a key character in Batman. Not once does Tynion refer to her as Batgirl, just as Oracle.

-There will further continuation of the dynamic between Steph, Cass, and Barbra

-Harley will convince herself she is Bruce's new partner, and Bruce will be at odds with that

-The Harley/Ivy story in Urban Legends connects to events in the Batman titles

-No 'immediate plans' for Gotham Girl. She's in limbo for now.

-Scarecrow will be the 'big bad' of 2021

I find it odd that John Stewart is getting a solo title since he is already in Justice League(2018 ). I like John as a part of an ensemble or as a reoccurring character. I guess DC is benching Hal. It would be nice to have him take John's place in the Justice League title since Stewart gets his own title.

Ghost Maker is an ally? I thought he was anti-hero leaning villain? So Bruce is going to widen his hypocrisy allowing certain people to murder in the name of justice like with Jason Todd.

DC saves me $12 a month now.

So Phillip K Johnson has confirmed in interviews that Future State will deal with the Superman lineage in a very "Fall of Camelot" sort of fashion, and also interpret Clark as a cosmic caligula who has his way with several women after Lois passes away.

...Yeah, this character is just f*cked with or without Didio. They just don't get it.

So the storyarc purpose after Joker War is Batman gains untrustworthy allies in Clown Hunter, Harley Quinn, and Ghost-maker? That was a little too easy of an ending with Bruce getting him to agree not to murder inside Gotham and that is is buying dinner. The Bat-Family is already too large and needs some trimming and Bruce allowing people with blood on their hands while keeping Jason Todd around is hypocritical? I don't get this direction. This is why we need Peter Tomasi!

It's like I keep saying about everything going on for the last few years - dumbest f'n generation to ever walk the Earth. These creators and "idea people" are so far gone that they aren't even putting together that they are digging their own grave as far as livelihood goes as sales keep slipping away, slipping away, slipping away.

Too dumb to know the market. Too dumb to recognize their audience. Too dumb to stop what they are doing. Too dumb to see the market for their BS doesn't exist.

Advance spoilers for Death Metal#7

Spoiler:
Diana kills The Batman Who Laughs after he offers her and the universe the chance to start again as a paradise. This impresses The Hands, who were coming to destroy the multiverse themselves, and they offer to rebuild...but there will be a price. Diana vanishes, and everyone has a big 'yub nub' party

We then see how the multiverse is healing, Future State exists as a potential timeline, there is another Earth simply called 'The Elseworld', some people are said to have been resurrected, and the Justice League and Legion of Doom have merged to form a super group housed in a Black Hand Fortress.

The Hands? It reads like a group. Who are what is that?
