DC 5G: the Replacements

[Frontier]

This looks rad.

I'm glad they're sticking with Wonder Woman being the OG. She should be the biggest of the big both in story and out.

I'm not expecting it to have any more of an impact than it did on Superman. Like, she'll headline a JSA book but that's probably about it.

What do ya'll think about BC's articles on a certain Fox son returning to continuity and how he could possibly be the Batman from the mini and not Luke...

Its a possibility but an odd choice to me. Mostly because he was a piece of interesting trivia rather than a character. But I'm the guy who was interested in Owen Harkness as the Flash so i may not have the best judgement.

About what I expect too. New 52 Earth 2 had a much stronger take on Diana being first. Instead of “superheroes” they were called “Wonders” after WW. That won’t happen here.

I don't care about anything like that. I'm just glad there's a much wider range of stories to be told with Wonder Woman now that her history is much longer, in-universe.

She has the whole thrust of modern history to run with now, that's much more compelling than her meeting Superman and Green Arrow as kids or whatever. A wealth of stories to be told, lots of diversity of supporting cast.

I think that's more dependent on how far DC is willing to commit to this and the writers they have writing Diana. They seem to barely know what to do with modern Diana as is.

I believe Wonder Woman has always said she cares more for her duties as Princess of Themyscira than saving Earth, so you could just use that.

Her whole thing is leaving being the island's princess to save the Earth.

I feel like someone like Jimenez could have done something with trying fully utilize/fuse WW's GA and Post-Crisis stuff that seems to be going.

But he's largely an outlier it seems when it comes to writers on WW's history. And as you say, that depends on how DC commits to this and they won't once Bruce and Clark are in the room.

[TheRay]

She has never stopped being the Princess.
She lived there for 2,000 years and only left in the first place because of Steve Trevor.

The one in Justice League is specifically from the Multiverse.

ah! curse you my selective blindness! well disappointed it's not Wallace but I'm intrigued as to what this Flash's origin will be.

Imma be honest, I don't think half of the storylines described in Future State were suppose to be a part of the original launch of the 5G books.

I would have preferred they just let the writers finish out whatever arc of the canceled 5G books and then made those books into an imprint...it's not like there aren't stories or books that are left open-ended anyway.

Now, it just feels like the character ideas were kept but these storylines were created and that's how we got Future State.
