Re: Superman Comics Thread

eh? I dont think superman could get los in space, he has super-hearing on a galactic scale, he can just home into sound coming from earth..
and prolly super-vision on a galactic scale as well...

Re: Superman Comics Thread

There's no sound in space, I thought? But I wouldn't know, since 1) I'm deaf, and 2) I've never been in space XD But I assume from the tag line of the Aliens movies "nobody can hear you scream in space," I don't think Superman could lock on to Earth by hearing. But I guess I could be wrong, he's basically god-like.

Super vision on a galactic scale I guess I could understand that, if there's no limits to his telescopic vision.

Re: Superman Comics Thread

Well, he did once save kyle rayner, who was on another galaxy i believe, when he heard kyle ask for help. And he was on earth then.
Though if he has galactic-scale super-vision, he can just use that to get back home.

Oh yes, I remember him going into space to save Kyle... could it have been through the power of the green lantern ring?

And yes, but Superman better hope he looks in the right direction

Re: Superman Comics Thread

It's probably the best title of DC along with Batman which I liked when I was younger ^^ Now i don't have time to buy some of the titles and probably that's why I'm not to date. So I have a question ;p

What happend to Super-man in lastest issues (in very short) if someone could answer? xD And what happned to Lex Luthor (after all i don't know anything about him, and i don;t like to read reviews ;p)? xD
And thx to any person which answer this : )

Re: Batman Comics Thread

You know what i like the most about Batman (and why he was one of my faviorites, when I was young xD)? It's because he has NO super special powers as other super heroes. Seriosuly his only rich and that's all. Also his genius but with that money anyone could be genius if he wanted to. And gadgets with batmobil xD Yeah, i think that Batman it's spcieal because he has no super powers (and dark version of comisc? ^^).

Re: Batman Comics Thread

That's what so great about him.
Other than that he got the courage to do what he does day in day out even at the cost of his physical and mental health. And he didn't even give up on Gotham even when the government decided to destroy Gotham after the big earthquake.

He died. Came back to life. Lost his power. Got married. Involved in a major Crisis. Lost his powers again for a year. Got them back. and now....

Spoiler

he adopted another Kryptonian boy
Lex Luthor... I hate him so much i dont wanna talk about him.

Re: Batman Comics Thread

Anyone here read "The Killing Joke"? it is probably the best batman graphic novel (or TPB, i dont know)(along with the dark knight returns and year one) that i have read.

 

[Gold Knight]

Re: Batman Comics Thread

Yup read that one. And I agree that it's one of the best Batman TPBs out there... wait, it's not really a Batman TPB. It's really more of a Joker TPB. So in that sense I actually think Year One is the best TPB because it was more about Batman. But if you want the Joker at his most fiendish, Killing Joke is the way to go.

Wish Brian Bolland did more interior art, but he's just too slow.

Re: Superman Comics Thread

Donners Action Comics = crap
sorry

Superman by Busiek is getting interesting though.
Arion is asking that Superman give up fighting for truth and justice, if the world is to survive.

 

[Ichimaru Gin n Tonic]

So, just not to be redundant with too much threads, i merged The Batman Comics & Superman Comics Discussion Thread into DC Comics Discussion Thread. And I'll rename the American Comics Discussion Thread to Marvel Comics Discussion Thread.

Well, talk about DC Comics here, ok guys?

 

[manu]

lols, this thread will have practically no movement compared to the Marvel thread simply because DC comics seem more intimidating to newcomers. Not to mention the general suckyness of Teen Titans. Though DC has a lot of jems out being published. JSA is an interesting read so far, as is Detective Comics. I dont' know how to stress how easy it is for any comic book reader to jump into Detective Comics, if you know who the Batman is and who the Joker is then you really actually know everything there is to know >_>

 

[Ichimaru Gin n Tonic]

They should get every DC book written by Geoff Johns. He's like Mr. DC now and everything he touches turns to gold. Now, if only they can pair him up with one of the Kuberts or Jim Lee, that would be awesome!

 

[Gold Knight]

I don't think it's that intimidating to newcomers, especially with Geoff Johns on board, the guy Ichi mentioned, explaining everything. Plus there are a lot of series being renewed these days, that people can easily get into them. I recommend JLA, JSA, Green Lantern, and there are tons more I can think of but haven't tried yet. And then with Superman and Batman, you can get into both anytime, doesn't matter what arc it is. Green Arrow's always cool. And then that new Blue Beetle book has been getting good reviews lately. Booster Gold's also very fun to read, although some of that one MAY be lost on new readers since it involves him going back into time through the DC continuum.

Anyway, I just have to mention that it's weird seeing all our Superman and Batman discussions merged into one, lol, but good move all the same. Thanks, Ichi

Good ol' Batman...way to save the day in the Green Arrow/Black Canary world.

I sure was worried

 

[manu]

I read DC but I don't read Black Canary and Green Arrow...

I want my Batman and Green Lantern now tho. Oh and would it kill Countdown to actually be interesting once and a while. They killed off Jokester so quickly, he had too much potentail to be offed, I wanted a Jokester vs Joker fight so badly >_<

Great... just great. Super prick versus green super prick.

A new Ion going head to head to Superboy/man Prime. I mean really, there is no way he is allowed to become a man right? And the new Ion is so freaking annoying that I hope Superman P actually destroys him. Which gets me wondering... how long is this Sinestro war going to be? I recommend it to everyone to read it because it so far and above the Civil and WWH. And when they do crossover its pretty damn enlightening. Take for example the Blue Beetle issue this month.

"My ring tells me that you are a monster"
"Well my scarab called you a bitch, so we're even now"

Priceless ^^ (of course bitch was censored)

Teen Titans is somewhat interesting, I hope they really do grow Robin's character into something good like they promised. Maybe actually make him as effective as Batman in a teen size or something.

 

[wrstljr]

New Ion=Wow...a new low of crappiness has been reached in DC

Superboy-Prime better rip him to shreds...

Which is worse...the length of the Sinestro war or WWH?

 

[Ichimaru Gin n Tonic]

Hmm, seeing that both features green-stuff and involves a major part of both companies' universe, i can't really comment on which one is worse. But i do think both acts as a failsafe. Sinestro War is a way to really end Infinite Crisis (maybe with the upcoming Final Crisis), since it involves Superboy-Prime and Anti-Monitor.
WWH is a way to make amends for Civil War, maybe it'll give them a reason to kiss and make up and no more registration act.

I found this article while browsing. It contains "sneak-peek" for DC's future, to be specific, DC's major superheroes future.

Read a bit and tell us what you think about it.
