Yeah that was another good thing from the issue xd.

Wouldn't be Adam if he did :).

DC comics universe would be a much better place if more people didn't give a crap about Batman's opinion.
[QUOTE=Korath;5497602]Which I think will help her more distinct from most of other DC heroes, who have mostly preserved their secret identities.[/QUOTE]
Isn't it mostly the Bat, Flash, Arrow and Shazam families that still maintain them? The Super family used to as well, but Conner never really had a secret identity, Clark outed himself, outing Jon as a consequence. And Kara's is moot because her adoptive father was killed.

Amen to that.

They really don't that much anymore.

He had one during the Johns era.
Thought this one was a lot better than the first issue (which wasn't terrible but it had a lot of the usual Bendis-isms that I'm not fond of). Still nothing to write home about but I don't mind keeping this book on my list for a little while longer. Black Adam was definitely the best part so if he stays this good then it'll be worth reading.
My big takeaway from this issue is that I hope they give Blue Devil a spot on the team.
Last issue, GA repeated variations on the same line/idea over and over again with variations on the same responses again and again.
This issue was mostly variations on Superman saying to give Black Adam a chance and everyone else saying they didn't think it was a good idea. And a recap of Naomi's story with nothing new to it.
Not just bad dialogue, but the [I]same[/I] dialogue, over and over and over again.
And does anyone else think "Brutus" is about the dumbest name for a DC villain ever? Brutus was one of Popeye's antagonists and every time I read that name I think of Popeye. And, while I love Popeye, I don't much think it was Bendis's intention to make us think of Popeye. I mean, what's next? The Sea Hag? Will Wimpy put in an appearance to beg for burger money?
I'd never read Bendis before he came to DC, so calling all Bendis fans: Does he ever have more than one exchange per issue, just repeated over and over but in slightly different words? Because this is brutal.
And I'm stuck with it because I never drop JL, no matter what. At least JLD is good. Sigh.

Brutus is the perfect name for this character, he seems to be a brute picking random fights with heroes to challenge himself.
I really liked this issue. Overall wasn’t a fan of Bendis’ Superman run but I loved his voice for Kal, so it’s nice to see he’s bringing that to Justice League. Superman finding the best in people was spot on. I felt all the characters played really well off of each other. Barry including everyone’s logo on his modified cosmic treadmill was pretty funny.
Did Bendis really just have a villain with horns who carries an axe basically boom tube onto Themyscira and start a fight with the Amazons? Hmm. We’ve seen that somewhere before.
Really great art by Marquez. Superman having a cute smile on his face as they teleported was a nice touch.

“I disagree.”
“I don’t care.”
Haha

I always enjoy when Batman is knocked down a couple of pegs and it should happen more often.

Feels like it happens more often than it doesn't, but I guess it depends on what you're reading.
if you're reading Bat-books, Justice League Books, and the Superman/Batman book it doesn't happen that often. The dude is DC's number 1 for a reason and they know it.
I also wouldn't call Adam disagreeing with Bruce knocking him down a peg. Heck in the backup issue Bruce straight-up threatens Etrigan and I'd argue gets the better of him in the exchange (at least thats how the comic portrayed it).
