The Beyonder (pre-retcon) vs The Great Darkness (dark crisis)

[Vakanai]

They’re only missing ‘Crisis of Confidence’, ‘Midlife Crisis’ and ‘Cost of Living Crisis’.

Technically isn't every Crisis event so far a Crisis of Confidence (no confidence that good books will sale without some wide line event crossover fucking everything up) and a Cost of Living Crisis (Crisis events pay the bills yo!)?
Midlife Crisis is tricky in that we don't know what the lifetime of a major comic book publisher like DC is so we can't really place if they've reached midlife yet or not.

Yeah, that’s right.

But the main takeaway from this was Jean Loring leaving tiny footprints on Sue Dibny’s brain.

Tiny footprints.

That was actually a thing that happened.

Why do you continue to remind me?

Next up, the Leagues tosses aside the idea of actually using their powers and dogpiles both Dr. Light and Deathstroke in identical fashions at different points in the series.

"The League teaches you to fight,"

Perhaps one of the most clanging bad clashes of text versus action on panel in comics.

Ah yes, the splash page where veteran members of the Justice League utilise the "Unwanted harem fighting over their crush" fighting style against Deathstroke.

That one, yes. I had forgotten the exact text, but knew it was something ridiculously like that.

Looked hilariously bad.

They do literally the exact same thing with Dr. Light. It's tried to be passed off as a moment of parallelism in the story, but it really looks ridiculous both times (and is also the artist being lazy-ass, I mean LOOK at the two panels, shown right here in the comic, side-by-side).

I mean...look, it's Zatanna, grabbing the guy they're dogpiling by an article of clothing and tugging on it. Really?

Hawkman: Deathstroke-kun! You promised to spar with me!

Green Arrow: No! Senpai said that he would come help me sharpen my arrows!

The extra weird bit is that she's doing it in both instances. So she apparently thought that the fist time was a successful move and wished to replicate the results.

[Nik Hasta]

Really a low point of superhero comics there. I'm sure well intentioned but so silly.

[Cthulhu_of_R'lyeh]

That’s a thing.

It’s when Sue Dibny died because Jean Loring went tap-dancing on her brain, and everyone discovered that Batman had mind-fucked most of the JLA to make them forget what they did to rapey Dr Light. Or something. I forget.

Edit: the cover…

Well. They peaked already.

Didn't this also happen with the Flash?

The best take.

In the exact same post. From the same angle.

Exceedingly low point. Not sure DC has ever really recovered.

Didn't this also happen with the Flash?

Are we talking about Flash being there and grabbing the guy's leg rather than doing the gazillion things he could have been doing?

Or is this some other appallingly hilarious example? ^_^

Might be conflating events. I thought the Rogues killed one of the Flashes by beating him to death. Pretty sure they just shot him, which, frankly, is just as egregious considering.

Could be? I'm so up on DC.

[Captain Morgan]

The Rogues did kill Bart Allen kind of like that, but his speed was shut off at the time. It was later reconned that the Rogues didn't actually mean to kill him. They'd launched attacks which Flash's friction proof aura would normally mostly shrugged off, but would kill a normal person.
