Batman's missing his scouter, so he can goggle at how Jon's power level is over 9000!!! At least I'm assuming that's why he shows up, much like his early Rebirth appearance. Or he's here because...

I'm legitimately shocked they name-dropped Superman here instead of a Marvel hero or Batman.
I've certainly gone off on this more than once, but I don't want to just blow you off or anything so I'll just be quick about it and not say much more, but its only for the sake of not derailing the...
I would agree with that. Only total absence bothers me in terms of Lois because well, when you're above recurring an absense is always going to be noticed, and she's way above that. But I mean I've...
Truth definitely ended up not being a good idea. I mean, its the same story as always: potential achieved or not. The unavoidable drawback was that it was already an overused trope. But there was...
So, like, considering all these pitches already sound better than 90% of what the Infinite Frontier initiative is offering, I say publish them all and cancel the crap.
I've said for a while I think he can still produce some good stuff as long as its not a monthly schedule and I still believe that. But even then, his style has never been an absolute favorite...
Convergence holds a special hatred in my heart especially for what it did to Superman, as innocuous as it seemed at the time.
Their well-established verse in two mediums makes it incredibly easier for them now to plug in certain ideas rather quickly. If they want to showcase Isaiah as a black Cap, they have the opportunity...
Yes yes yes yes yes yes.
Wasn't clean. They took a relaxed approach with some properties when that was in direct contradiction to other stuff being wiped clean. That can't fly in a line as connected as they want. In a...
Depowering is almost a certainty, unfortunately. Its confirmed his powers go through a change in the solicits. A power loss seems to make the most sense as it would suit the needs of their push of...
No one's saying its new, we're saying its not utilized as much as it could.
Oh yeah, I love this take on Metropolis. Why they don't do this in the main line regularly just blows my mind. The B13 stuff was the only time they've tried something cool with the city, and...
This was so good. Very clever not only using the film visual as a layout device, but also it ends up a plot device as well! And I loved all the twists and turns.
Next time someone asks me why I...
Azzarello:
The man-hating sex pirate Amazons.
The primitive nature of Paradise Island.
The original intent of pairing Diana with the new and not improved chauvinist Orion.
Oh boy, talk about torn. If this is in continuity its still in regards to an overall direction I don't support. But he's obviously older here so is this just more like a Future State deal? And him...
Just better character work on Superman was really all that ever needed. Its only flaw in my eyes was that Superman himself was the least interesting character in it. It just happened to be the...
That certainly can't be eliminated as a possibility yet either. I'm in the camp that Calvin or Val is more likely, Calvin at the top of the list considering his upcoming comics usage, but of course...
Nothing has been absolutely 100% confirmed. But the high likelihood is a black Superman in of itself, abandoning Clark Kent/Kal-El at least for the time being.
LOL, pretty much. "This would be good if everything was different."
Agreed. And I still dig that original costume.
I sill say theatrical. With the addendum this is all relative, the theatrical cut still sucks. But at the very least, the dude had a flair of optimism behind him finally. He remains overly dark in...
No. This was just a much longer, darker, and more action-oriented slog. And knowing the proposed directions for the sequel, it would only get way, way worse.
I'm really glad they didn't, in retrospect. Hate to imagine the hackjob that would have been done to it. Without WB suits interfering, a different director and some insight from Morrison himself? ...
