DC January 2020 Solicits

[Green Goblin of Sector 2814]

I didn't see a thread for this so I decided to make one. Anyway, a few thoughts:

• I will say that DC does seem to be handling at least one team's relaunch well. Tom Taylor's Suicide Squad looks very interesting to me so far.
  
  
• I'm still liking Bendis's Superman. He's not afraid to take chances with the mythology and I really like that. It'll be interesting to see the fallout of revealing his identity...again. But hopefully this time its handled much better than last time.
  
  
• I'm gonna give Tynion's Batman a try but I HATE it when they try to make Deathstroke into a Batman villain. He's a Titans villain. Here's an idea, DC: INVEST in the Titans franchise instead of relegating them to being second-stringers. Take notes from Hickman's X-Men relaunch.

I'm sure the only reason that Superman is revealing his secret identity is because a Crisis is coming, and the aftermath will probably reset that.

Also, Snyder is leaving JL. I hope Tynion takes over. His issues have been the best ones, IMO.

[Sacred Knight]

Superman's going in the complete opposite direction the character should go in. Just looks awful, and that's not even bringing in the eventual 5G nonsense. And I don't think the Crisis will reset it. If anything I think the Crisis will only double-down on it since that's when Jon is laughably becoming Superman. The outed secret identity will still probably be in play with the only difference being that Superman is retired or something. This whole think stinks to be only to accommodate making Superman a legacy franchise along with everything else in the verse.

This is it for me outside of Black Label and other outside projects.

Was there some fairly big other event in a character's life that happened right before the Flashpoint reboot? Whatever it was, it was something I read about, not something I read myself. An engagement or wedding, maybe?

Oh Snap, I didn't expect Snyder to be off Justice League.

I mean with all of this Year of Villain stuff I would have thought there would have been a longer wind down before the status quo changes again.

No Batman and Catwoman #1? I thought it was supposed to launch in January......

I’m considering dropping Batman and the outsiders. But here’s a thought; if supes is revealing who he is, and Jon takes over for him, won’t his enemies know who he is?

-Definitely a fan of a Young Justice, Wonder Twins, and Naomi crossover
-Suicide Squad looks good...and is that Lagoon Boy?
-Superman revealing his identity and from the looks of things not ruining his life could be a neat story

Forget lagoon boy- who’s the little guy with wings? Blue jay perhaps?

[Robotman]

It’s pretty sad that DC has Johns, Morrison, Bendis, and Snyder on their solits and it doesn’t elicit much excitement.

I haven't look at one of these in years. I have never heard of a lot of these titles. So is Morrison's GL run done, or something? What's this Blackstar thing? I wouldn't mind the Animal Man tpb.

The first 12 issues of TGL was "season one." There's a season two coming, but Sharpe is taking a break to get some lead time, so in between seasons, we're getting this GL:Blackstar mini.

It's a new character, Aerio think.
