Rumours and news about DC Titles: 2022 edition

[Refrax5]

I wish Rich cut down on the cryptic rambling.

BC is one of the trashiest, most unprofessional pages to exist. They never met clickbait, a typo, or an embarrassing attempt at humor that they didn't like.

[Thor-Ul]

If John’s is writing it you can count on it being the Retroboot he did. Assuming of course he actually bothers to write it instead of just teasing a book that never appears.

Or could be than Johns plots and other person writes, like in Flashpoint Beyond.

Wow, this sounds pretty terrible.

I'm not sure why there even is such thing as magic event. Are we also going to get science event at some point?

[Frontier]

A magic Crisis would have me worried that Constantine would save the day while everybody else (especially Zatanna) is useless.

If that gets a JSA book out there I think most people would be satisfied with that.

A magic crisis could be a lot of fun!
Wheel out all the obscure DC arcane characters and let the writer go nuts.

The Great Darkness wants nothing. It just is. But it may be being manipulated.

No way! What a thrilling new twist! There's a manipulator manipulating a primordial concept that can't be manipulated, which in turn is manipulating the manipulating manipulators.

The Justice League are at the centre of every Crisis, which is why they have been taken off the table.

So they have been taken off the board to be in the centre of this Crisis, considering they are the centre of every Crisis.

Flashpoint Beyond will tell you the end of Dark Crisis, and of the return of the thought-dead Justice League. Just so you know.

Brilliant storytelling.

My utter hatred of him notwithstanding, I can sort of almost respect Johns no longer giving a crap

Not really feeling the apparent retconning of the omniverse, the Hands, Perpetua and the Three brothers to being a charade by the Great Darkness

That's all DC knows how to do. "You just THOUGHT the Anti-Monitor was the baddest one of all? Well, he's not, and wait, even they aren't, suddenly there are some been there all along, but somehow was never mentioned before even bigger bad lurking for the new event!" Yep, ever bigger and badder baddies. That's pretty much it for them. No imagination at all.

Their probably counting down the days till corporate inevitably renege on the deal with Gaiman so as to make Lucifer or the Presence the bad guy

Wow, this sounds pretty terrible.

The story is pretty terrible so it fits.

Dark Crisis gossip

1. I’ll wait to hear about the Magic event. For all we know the story idea could be really cool or the creative team could be really good. I would read a Magic event done by Ram V and Mike Hawthorne after the Swamp Thing series.

Plus if we set up new Justice League Dark or Shadowpact series or any solo magic characters coming out of it could be fun just for that.

2. There’s already been two swamp things. Ram V’s run has shown that while Levi is the current living avatar that Alec Holland lives on in the Green.

3. War of Legions could be fun, everyone should have the chance to have the version of the team they like and if it validates all the teams I don’t see what the problem is with that….also let’s wait and see if Bendis is writing or not.

4. What do they mean by the true Black Adam?

[Uncanny X-Man]

We literally just did this with Tynion and Ram V’s JLD runs. This is what I’m talking about, DC is trapped repeating a handful of storylines with seemingly zero self awareness that they’re repeating themselves.

Well I guess there must be some magical books coming because right now all they have is Swamp Thing and that ends next issue. Maybe new Zatanna and Constantine books?


I’m guessing this is a Johns book and it looks like yet again he’s going to try to make all the Legions count. Will he actually follow that up with a Legion book?

Yes please. At this stage I feel Geoff Johns could be the only person who can make another Legion book happen, but I'm not holding my breath given the many false starts with JSA, his pop-up imprint, etc. He's also pretty busy with his creator-owned stuff at Image so who knows. But I'm very keen on an ongoing Legion book written by Johns.

At this point Geoff Johns has no power to "make" anything happen at DC. And why would you even want him to, ever since he got ousted his work has been just as polarizing as King's work. This isn't the Geoff Johns from the late 2000s and he had plenty of critics then too.
