Dark Knights of Steel Maxi Series - By Tom Taylor and Yasmine Putri

[Betinayen]

Yasmine Putri is just amazing.



Looks like we have Supergirl (she may be the blond Batman woke up in the preview art, not Black Canary), Lois, and Constantine. Along with Wonder Woman and Black Lightening who we've seen before.

I love when Lois has purple eyes, I'm happy she's here, I'm also Happy have constantine and Black Lightening here

Since a fair amount of Tom Taylor’s stuff is getting adapted recently and Taylor said he hopes that DKOS will be bigger than DCeased, does anyone else think WB might be looking at DKOS as their replacement for Game of Thrones, especially since the latter basically sh*t the bed and a bunch of its spin-offs were cancelled? WB/HBO probably wants an epic fantasy property they could adapt and DKOS already has built-in name recognition for characters. Not to mention they already own the characters too (whereas Amazon reportedly paid $250 million just for the rights to make a Middle Earth series).

I’m sure it’s a possibility if it does well. WB is all in on adapting DC stuff for MAX so we could see an adaption of this down the road.

I could see it getting an Elseworlds animated film.

Taylor’s stuff seems to be getting adapted quickly so I wouldn’t be surprised if this was being eyed for that also

Well, this is different. Looks like they went with the original Byrne idea.

It looks good, but Jor-El and Lara alive worries me. Taylor is one those writers that believes the Kents are the sole responsibles for Superman. Clark, in this case Kal-El raised by his birth parents confirms the "spoiled prince" vibes a lot of us are getting from the preview images.

The whole scene just looks ridiculous to me .

Reminded me moreso of this:

[Superfan90]

Lol, this was something I'd say. I have a martha joke for the book.

[sifighter]

Yeah this was very interesting altogether, I’m keeping an eye on this.

I especially like all the thought that was put into the El’s and Batman.

So Bruce is just straight up Jon Snow huh? Gotta admit I kind of liked the reveal that Bruce is Kal’s half brother, guessing Jor-El screwed Martha. Interesting twist on the brotherhood relationship between Supes and Bats. Harley is so annoying however. No sign of John Henry Irons yet, I’ll give it a couple issues.

Sounds like something Taylor would come up with.

Of course Harley's in it .

Well...Not sure how I feel about the Bruce twist but aside from that, this was really freaking good. This is the Taylor I love to read. Can't wait for more.

Not only is Harley here but she actually managed to make me laugh lol

[Ra-El]

The Bruce-El twist was something, not sure if it's good or bad.

But, at least for now it seems like Taylor isn't making Superman the douch prince I was afraid he would. Let's see how it goes, I'm optmistic for now.
