Once you've got a mission statement, line-ups are practically gravy. 'Cause seriously, there are SO FREAKING MANY DC characters just sitting on the shelf, waiting for someone to dust them...
Names are, in my limited experience, doable. If all else fails twist one that isn't being used right now (although that can sometimes go horribly wrong - looking at you, current...
I can wave away a lot of bad science for dramatic effect, but when films don't even try to head-nod towards how big space is, I get really annoyed:
Example 1: The first Kelvin Star Trek movie. Old...
A) The character creation set-up on CoH was insanely great.
B) Now that you've said it, I can totally see it.
If you're a really up-to-speed hero (ie, one who participates in a great number of multiverse shenanigans), that might be a difficult attitude to maintain.
Consider President Superman. He's been...
One thing I've sometimes wondered about is - how do the various "knock-off" universe characters cope with the realization that they're merely variations on a theme?
When they're hanging out at the...
Although an Earth-41 version of Planetary would be amusing. Given the obviousness of the Earth-41 names, I suspect their membership would consist of:
Jackie Berlioz
Ezekiel Graupel
and Saxman
I was gonna say, Psyba-Rats, man... that's a deep (albeit lame) cut.
Truthfully, the worst DC comics I've ever read were probably ones I've completely forgotten because they were so by-the-numbers boring/ugly to look at. That'll happen when you've read over 20,000...
Boy does he. He once created a character named Ben Steel, who had a pet bear named Hans.
Unforgiveable, that one.
Or, failing that, a solid Yellow Fear Monster/Sovereign/Earth-3 explanation to allow for a factory reset.
Only if it includes Danny Chase, Twilight Lobo, and Jamm.
I'm somewhat amused that at least 2/3s of the alt covers depict a version of Power Girl that's nowhere to be found within its covers :)
I mean, it's not an uncommon phenomenon, but it's still...
Personally, I just hope they can keep making the titles longer with each sequel...
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
Fall of the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
After the Fall of the Kingdom of...
As always, I think you've got this more-or-less pegged.
GLs are wandering knights, protecting the innocent and rescuing those in need. Assuming that they're not messing up (Sinestro), the...
To respond to your initial question, I don't believe there's been a parallel earth assigned to the Hex future. Possibly because, as originally presented, it was intended to be THE future of the main...
I can't speak for fandom as a whole, but when I picked it off the racks at my supermarket, my immediate reactions were, in no particular order:
"Oh, that's brilliant!"
"So THAT'S what really good...
Maybe Red Canary is some kind of running joke in the DC Bullpen - a character that never gets fully introduced, but just keeps popping up in crossovers as if she's The Next Big Thing. That would...
If you haven't done so already, please feel free to check out The Tommy Westphall Universe.
Well, yeah, it's not exactly Constitutionally sound (dark ops 'n' all that), but at least there used to be a choice. "Continue serving your 18 consecutive life sentences, or roll the dice on this...
This.
She's gone from being a badass to being a bad ass.
Criminals serving life sentences? Yup. Terrorists and scumbags? You betcha.
Innocents? Nope.
This is an utterly Flanderized Waller, completely shorn of any nuance or depth. Waller used to...
I always forget, is it "kneel before Zod, except after Zed," or "kneel before Zod, except after Zee?"
And yes, I will only be appearing in this thread to make stupid jokes.
I dunno. For this group I'd like to stick with the "these are are wonderful heroes, why should we be so hung up on their looks" approach. Maybe Wonder Woman, on this world, is blessed by Aphrodite...
Given how she's currently being written, I'm not sure that Power Girl's in any condition to take on Lobo, except maybe as a straw man whipping boy for, I dunno, toxic masculinity or something.
