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

Started by Golgo13367 pages

I could have sworn someone like Snyder and Gail said Cassandra is coming back. Ah, well. On her Twitter Gail mentioned that she got an offer to write another iconic female super hero. Wonder who that is? Supergirl?

IIRC, Gail said that she loved both Cass and Steph and had plans to use them.

It's also that way in the JMS' Earth 1 stuff.

Pretty sure that's just how they want it portrayed from now on, instead of some doing t, and some not.

So DS actually destroyed the "indestructible" Superman suit in the first JL arc?
Or has he changed costumes since then?

If it's the same costume, it's a nice feat.

But what are its feats of 'indestructibility'?

Yeah on her tumblr she mentioned that she had plans that she'd pitched, but editorial still saw Cass/Steph as a no go, which is pretty disappointing..

Dumb freaking DC! I hate when they do that shit.

I think they're going more with the whole "his suit survives the things he does because it's kryptonian material". if you remember lois and clark (if im remembering right) and some of the earlier comics, they used to say that his suit was made of an indestructible material.

it's their way of not having to use the whole "aura" thing.

Everything from Krypton is invulnerable in the new continuity:

Also, having Darkseid [an upper-dimensional God]'s attack go through its invulnerability isn't a low showing. At all.

^Was the decay really the explanation for the why the kryptonian dragon died (only from the pure shock of the blast, since it wasn't burned at all from what we see) from that huge oil explosion then?

I'd say it would be a logical conclusion to assume that it being half-dead and decaying DNA affected his invulnerability. Especially since the other kryptonian, Superman, shrugged off the same thing as nothing.

Does the Kryptonian Dragon also get a yellow sunlight amp as well I wonder? Or is that only for Kryptonian humanoids?

I wonder only because I assume a kryptonian on krypton would have been dead meat immediately against that thing, where as Clark did quite well on Earth.

Or if it does get the sunlight amp, maybe it wasn't there long enough to soak in as much as Clark had over 20+ years.

Both of those *and* Morrison have expressed interest in at least one of those two characters.

Editoral's said no, there's an embargo on the characters (Apparently some weird misguided attack to reinforce Bab's 'iconicness'? It applies to different continuities like Smallville too).

I seriously cannot imagine the mindset where a comic editor has Scott Snyder, Gail Simone, and Grant Morrison all say, "Can we use these characters? Pleeeease??" to them and they just say 'No!'.

If I was editorial, if those three writers all want something, I don't care if it's a Dogwelder miniseries, I'm saying 'yes.' And these writers just, like, want them as guests/subplots/etc..

Storm?

(Gail's not DC exclusive any more)

That's a bit of an oxymoron. Something truly invulnerable cannot be damaged/destroyed under any circumstances. Nigh-invulnerable is a more fitting term for his armor. 😛

Has anything else damaged it yet?

IIRC, and I may be wrong, but didn't his suit get torn by that alien that the Russian government teleported to our dimension? I think that was Superman and not Action.

You're right. Predator damaged the suit extensively (Superman #11.) Given Predator's powerset, that still isn't a low showing for the suit-- but it [the suit] definitely isn't invulnerable in the literal sense.

It's as invulnerable as anything in comics that's called invulnerable.

As in, it's played up as invulnerable, until a sufficiently high enough force gets put up against it.

It's one of the many words comics have raped.

The two terms are pretty much interchangeable in comics. Same goes for "omnipotent","immortal" etc.

Although this renders my above comments useless, still 👆👆👆.

So, what are you guys looking forward next year? Top 5 or so projects:
1. MULTIVERSITY
2. Johns/Goyer secret project
3. Trinity War
4. Man of Steel (Snyder & Jim Lee)
5. JLA

Unless Johns is bringing Wally back none of those things really interest me.
