hey alberto, how's life going?

any trouble with work/school?

He's not in school, he's at various times said he's been reading X-Men comics for over 30 years, is old enough to be Abhi's dad, has managed multiple stores etc....

He's apparently nearer 40, I guess. But has no family.

well he was born in 74 so I guess 46?

what do you do for a living alberto?

1000% he copied that post from somewhere.

he’s living off of our tax dollars my man.

C'mon, guys.

Alberto is 14.

Obv. He tries way too hard to be an adult, like that guy with fake ID at the bar.

Outside of the Batman Arlham stuff DC has nothing but an average MK rip off in Injustice. Marvel Lego games sell just as much as the DC ones. And truthfully if its not COD, Madden or 2K the general public doesn't know about a game dropping unless they are looking for it.
Batman and Superman are global pop icons. Because those are the only two characters DC focuses on. They keep going to those two over and over instead of taking chances with new characters.

SHIELD regularly git more ratings than the CW stuff. And nearly every streaming show got critical and fan praise for being original and pushing the envelop. While DC turned every show into teen dramas; bad teen dramas and appeals to comic book fans.

Marvel's entire sthick from the 60's until now was to sell multiple characters. Theres a reason why most studios jumped in buying their IP up over the indies.

even their cartoons aren't successful without Batman.
Honestly there's a reason why AT&T cut their staff by 15%

Marvel shouldn't have 65% of the market that's insane . DC had 45% of it 10 years ago now its down to 40%. Hell Marvel only had 50% of the market 10 years ago. Marvel isn't making really good books or lessen their count of books either. If I were everyone start to wonder why one business model works and when the other is being subdized by massive companies to survive. Remember Marvel been kicking DC's without Disney for decades and Warner backed DC since the 70's.

As someone who wants the industry to grow and to adapt and to get new readers. I would suggest DC do the following.
1. Fire all the staff start from scratch.
2. Let's kill Batman off for a decade.
3. Get some actual big name writers not comicbook writers but tv and novel writers.
4. Start promoting books on YouTube, TV and other apps. Start paying major influencer to promote your shit.
5. Go in school and start showing your characters off. Show the kids there's a character for everyone no matter the race, religion, and nationality
6. Actually have a cohesive universe

And also, give secondary characters major shine for awhile , not just a one off story. Get the fans interest then drop a good mini or two. Don’t just drop a solo and half ass push it.

That's why I said DC is more than just super-heroes. Vertigo, Wildstorm, Hanah Barbera, Milestone, etc... DC obviously takes more risks and is more diversified.

How big the pre-crisis DCU was. Does anyone have images about it?

no one ?

Furthermore, are there higher dimensions in DC within a universe?

Scans would be of great help.

the pre-crisis multiverse is infinite

higher dimensions in dc are higher planes of existence, they can't be classified as universes, they are outside of traditionally defined "universes"

Interesting. I've seen this argument somewhere.

80s and 90s artwork is better than today's

anybody agree?
