The same Batman who, with all the powers of Superman and his supposed hypervigilence, lost to an unpowered Clark Kent who had a few hours of prep time?

Not sure I'm buying that.
Jon was an only child. Jon is still very much a teenager and wasn't consulted when Lois and Clark made their decision to adopt those kids. That's not pathos. That's just...
These events should never end on someone who isn't JLA status.
And Dick will never be there. Spare me the "but he's the first Robin, and Robin was popular in the 30s" nonsense. DC wants to push...
Given that Clark explicitly has already used pressure points on a Kryptonian... this is just terrible writing to Bat-wank.
I've disliked this entire fiasco for several reasons.
First, Conner Kent is a perfectly fine character who was ALREADY the first to be prematurely aged up and if you want to do the whole "does he...
If anyone is going to be called Superman among the non-Clark characters, the only one who truly earned it is Connor. Not much more you can do than die in a Crisis against your evil and infinitely...
I think it's far more likely that the Eternals will work with Xavier / etc to come up with a Cerebroesque way to resurrect them without having to depend on killing a human soul.
Otherwise, what's...
Seems to me that the Celestial is just determining whether people are happy with the decisions they've made for themselves and the results of those decisions. Also, it seems to be judging people in...
I want them to revive Adventures of Superman and use it as a vehicle to push huge cosmic adventures.
Reed Richards created a device that acts as temporary handcuffs on mutant powers and hides mutants from being detected.
Xavier responded by psychically raping Reed Richards.
They aren't...
And the next thing you know, Valeria is standing on a Fantasticar with an Ultimate Nullifier pointed right at Krakoa.
The main issue as I see it is that Reed's inventions normally arise out of trying to do something else. Who else is a mutate (all mutants are mutates, not all mutates are mutants) who has powers he...
That's incredibly hyperbolic. Handcuffs are not "genocidal weapons." and Reed's device didn't even rise to the equivalent of hancduffs.
Depends entirely on the mutant. The point is, they see it as an activity that is entirely within their rights to employ and for any reason they see fit. It is both contemptuous and a basic...
There's no "to be fair to Charles" here.
The problem with mutant psychics is they feel that they have the authority to simply screw with people's memories and minds as they see fit.
This has...
What'd he do other than making the GL universe stagnant?
What's the last great GL threat that didn't happen to have a color associated with it?
Johns has a tendency to oversimplify things to a...
"Look Clark, I put everyone you ever knew or loved at danger just so that this one dude couldn't hold the truth of your secret identity over your head any longer."
This is pure idiocy from a...
Realistic frontier? Batman?
What kind of pipe do you smoke your crack in? Batman's the most unrealistic character in comics.
An ongoing problem for me with the Clark / Daily Planet thing for me has always been that he shouldn't ever write a story on Superman. He should choose to actively avoid writing about him, citing...
I don't see why. His entire career is built around creating events. They just had the Convergence event, and they're coming out of it by temporarily killing off Batman, making Superman an...
This has been all kinds of pathetic so far and is just the type of thing I expected from Geoff "if it isn't an event, I'm not interested" Johns and company.
I'm willing to give this a shot, but his characterization has been BAD so far. First, he behaves like an idiot. He's BEEN at this power level before, doing the things he's doing. He acts like he's...
Maxima was dead but was totally a Superman character. Mongul's son had entered the picture, who took the de-facto place of his father. Toyman was still a threat. Darkseid has been a...
DC has systemically, through their sheer incompetence and editorial misunderstanding of the character, been tearing Superman down.
If I were to ask you 10 years ago who were Superman's biggest...
The Kara thing was one of the most hilariously forced bits of BS I've seen in quite a while. You've got a guy who has been in captivity for 20 years and is skiddish about everything, and a woman who...
