DCU gets remade - all books are #1s, Geoff Johns and Jim Lee on Justice League, more

Started by Kazenji367 pages

Just found out Batman Beyond is one of these books

seriously WTF?!? DC

its only 6 issues in 😬

It wouldn't make sense if all the titles got renumbered, except for Batman Beyond. Xombi is only 3 issues in and it will also get renumbered.

Stormwatch is a dangerous super human strike force whose existence is kept secret from the world. Jack Hawksmoor and the rest of the crew look to recruit two of the deadliest super humans on the planet: Midnighter and Apollo. And if they say no? Perhaps the Martian Manhunter can change their minds. Featuring a surprising new roster, STORMWATCH #1 will be written by the critically-acclaimed Paul Cornell (Superman: The Black Ring, “Dr. Who”) and illustrated by Miguel Sepulveda.

Holy f*ck. Martian Mind can now orgasm.

Including:

A metahuman mercenary who made a living taking out the toughest targets, Deathstroke will reclaim his fearsome legacy by any means necessary in DEATHSTROKE #1, a new series from rising star Kyle Higgins (Batman: Gates of Gotham) and artists Joe Bennett and Art Thibert.

Yay! Hawksmoor, Midnighter, Jonz and Apollo, I'm totally getting that!

No Shazam...

That list isn't accurate. (besides some of the creators being wrong according to the old, innacurate rumors - like Nicieza on Titans)

Justice Society, Superman, Action Comics, Supergirl haven't been announced yet (Superboy by Lobdell has been confirmed though). And "My greatest adventure" isn't confirmed to be part of the 52 either, I believe.

Superman, Action Comics and to a lesser extent Justice Society are given to have a book. The other two not so sure - a Captain Marvel book could easily replace the Supergirl one.

i kind of like red robin's new look. i would prefer, however if this costume were an alternate look when he needed the wings or something instead of being his new outfit. kid flash i am not pleased with though....

I think kid flash pretty cool , Superboy looks kinda gay imo

dc is turning into 90's image comics it seems

In a universe with cloning, and time travel, where robotic prosthetic are a dime a dozen and no one stays dead for more than month, Babs being paralyzed never really made any sense in the first place. It's the same thing I think every time I see Helion, why doesn't have robotic arms? Misty Knight had a robotic arm decades ago and she doesn't have the funding or connections the X-Men do. This isn't the real world, and in context of the universe it never made sense for someone with the connections that Barbra Gordon had to be paralyzed for years.

I don't care for Apollo and Midnighter's new look.

Grifter is getting a book. Cool, assuming it doesn't suck.

OMAC sounds fine but it's Didio, so...

New Superman costume, drawing by George Perez (who is rumored to write/draw the Superman title).

I have to say..

I don't like it.

Supergirl on the other hand looks great:

Grifter solo title! 😍

Whats with the robo boots Superman?

a.) He looks like Superboy Prime.
b.) There's no underwear over his tights (which just seems.... Wrong.)
c.) Are those knee pads? Wtf does Superman need knee pads for? I'm surprised he's not wearing a bullet proof vest too.

👇 @ the 'tactical' suit.

I like that he isn't wearing underwear, but they should have thrown some red stripes down his sides, or something to ad some contrast.

....uhuh

Looks better than the horrendous Titans outfit, but not feeling the Tron Superboy.

Well, so I'm guessing that Supergirl picture confirms that no Shazam will come.

That Superman suit is awful. Regular Superman suit is awful but at least it's iconic.

Yeah, Superboy is looking a little off, but maybe they're making him gay or something. whatevs. At least that would keep Wonder Girl's character progression from going down the shithole.

edit: I'm really liking everything about Supergirl's new look.

Slade looks neat.

Apollo... uh, not into the randomly stretched neck hole on his costume. Any more and they might as well have given him a cape like Emma Frost's lol
