Is it bad that I'm actually hype for this? Like I know this is jumping the shark and it won't possibly do justice to Watchmen's legacy but I still want to see where it goes.
Which of the new rebirth releases do you all figure I should follow if I want to get the full story?
>>
>>83264033
Yes, it is bad.

You need to be part of a hivemind slave.
>>
>>83264033
Watchmen is overrated.

Rebirth is awesome.

>>83264060
Deal with it.
>>
Titans and JLA (if and when the latter gets announced) are my big guesses for the pure Watchmen plotline.

The three big Batman books (Batman, Detective Comics, and All-Star Batman) will probably tackle the 3 Jokers at some point.

The two main Superman books (Superman, Action Comics) will probably tackle the "you're not who you think you are" plot at some point.

One aspect is that we don't actually know what's in the last 3/4s of each Rebirth one-shot (because we've only been given previews of the first 5-6 pages at this point). It's possible that they'll ALL have a thread containing some aspect to the Manhattan mystery. Or maybe they won't and they're just setting the series. We dunno.

But based on the plots of the solitications, we're not getting anything until *at least* the end of August, if not further than that.

I keep hearing this, but I just found Watchmen to okay, not great, not horrible, just okay.

I'm still excited for Rebirth though, it'll be the first time I really dive into DC's stuff.
>>
>>83264766
>>83264175
Obviously some people will disagree but I think Watchmen deserves the level of admiration it receives. The story is tightly woven and the characters are compelling and feel real. The art is excellent too. Just my opinion though.
>>
>>83264033
Some stories just have an end, period. They aren't better served by continuing or... some new adventure. PLUS, It's really weird to me that Superman exists as a comic book in the watchmen universe so now I have all these questions I don't think anyone intends to answer in this story.


As for your own "hype", that's on you. I'm willing to over look some bullshit to fix some of the problems with 52.

Things like this are usually overall explained by sticking to the main titles. Bat Titles Supes JLA, and Flash I bet will cover just about everything.
>>
>>83264033
No. Its a good idea.
>>
>>83264938
Remind me again how Watchmen ends?
>>
>>83265163
With Dr. Manhattan saying he's leaving to make new life, Ozymandius dealing with what he's done And Rorschach's Journal in the the "crazy" pile of that news paper maybe about to be picked up and read maybe not. A bunch of news reports about the incident halting the war and it being a miracle and Russia sending aid for the catastrophe, And Nite owl and Silk Spectre sleeping together.

Watchmen's great, but it's legacy isn't in any danger.

Batman Rebirth is about the 3joker mystery which may or may not be relevant to what Manhat did.

Stories end...unless they're in comic books then they drag on and on every so often getting noticeably worse as new writers try to come up with fresh ideas to make you forget or in an attempt to rewrite the bad ones that came along in between.

Why would they? Manhattan's not a big enough fan favorite to present a risk. Using him is the safe option. If DC fucks him up, it won't generate the same amount of nerd rage you'd see if they fucked Rorschach or Ozymandias up.
>>
>>83265614
Stories end, yes. Characters don't.

Yeah Watchmen is legitimately a GOAT comic, but nothing that happens in Rebirth is going to go back and change or invalidate it.

The characters are based on the assumption that Freudian psychoanalysis is an actual science. It's not. They're not "real" as much as they are "the type of characters people are used to seeing and expect to see due to them being the norm in movies and TV".

Can you explain this opinion? Sounds like you're just using buzzwords.

They were always part of the DCU, retard. They mention the Justice League periodically, Arkham Asylum and Scarecrow make cameos in the first arc, Element Girl is a character, etc.
>>
>>83265874
Most fairy tales have had people write sequels to them about what happened later. I've seen stories where the sequel to 3 pigs the wolf goes and meets red riding hood and the two pigs he ate gets saved by the huntsman along with red hood and granny.

I just went back and re-read it, and thought it was pretty good. It doesn't really have a lot to do with Rebirth until the very end because the cause of everyone forgetting the team was due to something else besides Manhattan.

They're part of the DCU the same way Thought Robot is you tard, intangible concepts outside of Sandman and Lucifer.

They were never meant to be seen in DC proper, unless complete and utter hacks write them in like Johns
>>
>>83265592
Johns just needed a reality warper who at the same time represented cynism to create the basic metaphorical conflict of the dc universe. The other characters are too grounded to work within the dcu. Maybe they will be introduced in a few years from now when dc gets desperate enough, but I'm pretty sure that they won't matter that much in the rebirth storyline. If they are introduced, it will probably be as metaphores of the tone shift in the dc universe after the 80s.

That analogy doesn't work, thought. The thought robot only exists to fight Mandrakk, he can't enter the world because that's not what he was written for.

Conceptual, abstract, non corporeal beings can walk the earth no prob in the dcu. The new gods are as abstract as the endless. So are the monitors. No reason why the endless should be an exception.

>>83266246
What I'm betting on is that we won't see any of the human characters from watchmen coexist dcu proper during rebirth (for at least 2 years). Hell, even Manhattan isn't being introduced exactly as a character, he's a metaphore for the polar oposite of the values of rebirth.
>>
>>83266425
>Gotham dude is fit and buff and has brown hair, whereas Dan is fat and gross and has blonde hair and a mustache now

The only one you can make a tiny case for is Gotham Girl because Laurie was blonde the last time we saw her, even though her hair was short and she talked about improving her superhero persona by carrying around a gun.

It's not them.
>>
So without knowing much about comics, how long do you think it will take them to continue the Dr. Manhattan plotline?
>>
>>83266563
They changed their appearance once, why not again?

If the sales aren't good I can see them rushing it towards early 2017
>>
>>83266850
It's common sense. They didn't even show Manhattan on-panel. With all of the Watchmen, there's going to be heavy build up and foreshadowing before any of them show up because DC's going to want to milk everyone's hype for all it's worth.

No they aren't, they aren't even fucking close. The monitors are closer but still not at the level of the Endless.

The Endless weren't written to exist as tangible beings either thus the comparison is apt. The Endless aren't supposed to be seen outside of their stories, but they are anyway because the DC writing staff is fucking stupid. Just like the Watchmen aren't supposed to be seen in the mainline DC universe

The monitors are more archetypal than the endless because they are higher in the multiversal hierachy, according to the map. As for the new gods, pic related.

Then is fair,

>>83264175
You are a retard.
>>
>>83267390
You might as well explain it. Everything in the sphere of the gods is non corporeal because they are separated from the physical multiverse by the speed force Barrier.
>>
>>83267527
Because you literally are getting all your info from a map that isn't even accurate as a portrayal of the DC multiverse. The map was just supposed to be a cool little image to give an idea of how DC is a big and vast cosmos not the end all absolute defining. Hell even using your map you're still wrong cause it shows one Endless outside everything with his book and only includes Dreams realm. If you actually read comics and not just pastas and images on /co/ you'd no each of the Endless have a realm separate not all existing within Dream's.

So the New Gods are gods? Okay, I wasn't arguing that, I was saying they're nowhere near as powerful as the Endless. Also they job all the time but I digress.

As for the Monitors being as high or higher on the cosmic food chain, I call bullshit on that until I see source. And even if it is, that just proves my point further that DC's writers are damn morons

>but they are anyway because the DC writing staff is fucking stupid.

Read Sandman again you stupid fag, but yes they are not suppose to be used as gimmicks.
>>
>>83267745
Monitors and Endless have never interacted. However if Anti-Monitor is anything to judge Monitor power by Endless are clearly higher up.
Monitors are definitely higher up than New Gods as seen in Final Crisis when it was revealed Darkseid was a pawn for the real final boss Monitor.
>>
>>83267745
The Morrisonian Monitors should be higher on the food chain than the endless, since they exist outside of the edges of the story and manipulate events from a higher point of view. They had machines that could destroy the multiverse and were nanotechnology in their world. The Multiverse devouring hyperflies were also minimal when compared with the regular monitors. The Monitors from countdown and the monitor of the original crisis don't even come close to either the Endless or the Morrisonian Monitors.
>>
>>83267848
The anti monitor is a fraction of a monitor. Basically he was created when a monitor entered the multiverse and, due to the dual nature of the stories, he wa split in a positive and a negative half.
>>
>>83267848
Exactly my point. The Endless are fucking power and not meant to be seen in the main DC books or events. That's why it's stupid for them to be seen in them, and why it's akin to the Watchmen being there too. It defies everything they were supposed to be when their books were originally written. Especially in Watchmen's case
>>
>>83267993
I can't really think of any times Endless have shown up in other things outside of some light hearted tongue and cheek stuff. What events are you talking about that ruined the Endless for you and got you so mad?

That she had to share the title with Nekron and the black racer. The race was inevitability, Nekron was death as the ultimate evil, and I don't remember what death was supposed to be.

But let's assume that you had to stage lex Luthor near death experience. If he had to meet the personification of death, who would you have him meet?

I liked it more when I realized it's not really an attack on Watchmen, but the way that Watchman's "influence" has sorta shadowed comics since it came out as the result of people just trying to copy the superficial "grimness" of the comics without paying attention to the deeper layers of deconstruction and satire the series was actually about.

I am DYING for Ozymandias to beat Batman into a broken pile of meat.

Because I'm thinking there is no other character who has enough plot armor to overcome all the Bat faggots who prop that piece of shit up.

I want Ozy to get run down by the Batman, and they get into hand-to-hand, and it looks like it might be close for a while...until Ozy lands a solid hit, and then another one, and the nose breaks, and teeth come out, and then Ozy breaks something, like a finger, then takes out a knee, and then it's just butchery.

And afterward, Ozymandias looks down at Batman and says, "I saw you coming thirty-five minutes ago. So I prepped a few tricks for you."

Ehn. I can dream.
>>
>>83271720
I'm pretty sure that will happen, almost verbatim, then next issue Batman does the same to him even more spectacularly, using a whole city as a trap or something like that.

And then Batman at his most broken is forced to reach and use a gun breaking his every code in desperation and fires it at Ozymandias, who catches the bullet.

That's better. Let's not just throw words out randomly or people will think you're one of those queers who doesn't know the difference between a weekly, a crossover and an event

I just don't get it what's the point. I'm not worried about the Watchmen legacy because if it turns out to be garbage people will just pretend it doesn't exist and move on like the Ben Affleck Daredevil movie, but Watchmen was a story with a very defined start beginning and end.

I mean in the end Dr Manhattan goes travel space like he's life-creating Galactus, Nite Owl and Silk change identity and get married, Rorshach stays exploded on the South Pole and Ozy probably starts creating another exploding alien squid in case WW3 starts again and I don't really see the point of them crossing over to the mainstream DC universe, especially when they're not necessary there. I mean why do we need Nite Owl on a universe with Batman?
>>
>>83273961

As far as we know it's only Manhattan
>>
>>83274024
I hope so. Leaving Ozy's lines in there though make me worry that he will turn out to be Mr. Oz, even though that's stupid.
>>
>>83273961
From someone who's for it, I like the idea simply because it would be interesting two see two heavily contrasting ways of life/viewpoints collide. Keep in mind that all of the Watchmen characters are from an Earth that's supposed to be as close to the real world as possible. I can imagine that from their perspective, the DCU would seem like some kind of cartoonish abomination where everything they fought for and believed in before they became jaded and lost hope was able to be accomplished by other heroes.

It would be interesting to see some of them cope with that, especially someone like Rorschach if they decide to bring him back from the dead.
>>
>>83274033
Mr. Oz looks nothing like Ozy. For starters, he has dark skin unless it's just an artists quirk and he was just shaded weird. Unless Ozy got roided up or magically changed his appearance when he crossed into the DCU, I can't see it being him.

Maybe he turned himself into Doctormandias, like in Chip Zdarsky's Watchmen sequel pitch
>>
>>83274024
But that begs the question as of why would Dr Manhattan interfere. He only went to the South Pole because of Silk Spectre that was the only remaining link he had with the Earth and it's not like he interfered much, he just went giant for a bit because Ozy tried to desintegrate him and exploded Rorshach. Since according to him he plans to create life somewhere in the Universe I really don't see someone like him coming back into Earth

Because he's a super autist? What he's done also doesn't just effect Earth

You can debate about the merits of Watchmen and its place in history all you want (although the consensus is pretty thoroughly in but whatever). It doesn't somehow make this not a stupid vacuous idea with no conceivable merit.

>>83266166
Are you ignoring when Dream goes to meet Martian Manhunter, Element Girl's death, and the entire section with Doctor Destiny?

What am I saying? You've never read it. You'd never be able to pry Mickey Mouse's dick out of your ass long enough to read a comic book that didn't have a red logo on it.

It's not.

Also Watchmen has been regarded as a cancerous piece of shit by non-normies for literal years now. It's baby's first grimderp.
>>
>>83273961
That's the problem, right here - these characters already served their purpose, there's no point in bringing them back.
>>
>>83265720
I think the issue people have is that Watchmen was made as a sort of snub towards cape stories in general.

So just integrating it into said cape stories does seem to be missing the point rather hard.

Haha, nah, let me tell you about the time when LoSH was set on Earth-Prime so they had our comic books but still interacted with the main DC-verse as if they belonged to its future.

Phantom Girl and Princess Projectra read a comic about the original Brainiac's comic book origin and later, in an unrelated event, Brainiac 5 managed to send information to the (New Earth) past with Supergirl so Vril (Brainiac 2, also supposedly this Brainiac 5's biological great grandfather) could reform L.E.G.I.O.N. This version of Vril is supposed to be the biological great grandfather to at least three different versions of Brainiac 5 from three different universes, including the one who lives in Earth-Prime's future.

So I don't think Watchmen will be too confusing.

I don't think Watchmen is that special. I do however think DC is really really reaching to try and be popular by whoring out series they haven't before, when what they need to be good and popular are good stories. Even mediocre stories would be fine, but this one-upsmanship that's been going on since Superman Doomsday is totally unsustainable, and having a huge overarching plot for an entire year across all comics is stupid as shit.
>>
>>83277429

It's funny because the point of using Watchmen in this comic seems to be about the fact that the two ideas of superheroes are incompatible and Watchmen doesn't have a place in the broader DCU in the first place.
>>

I really liked Rebirth, but all it was meant to serve was as an intro and preview for the main books coming out of it (Batman, Superman, Titans, etc)

So what happened to post new 52 Wally? According to the one in Rebirth he wasn't involved in the Mr. Twister incident, so it's not him. They also clarified that Black Wally is white Wally's cousin, so it's not him either.

New 52 Wally is still around, he'll be in the "Teen Titans" book with Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy and Damien.

I can't speak on behalf of Gainman, but the guy's like a less crusty Moore. He's probably just happy people care this much about his stuff.

That's Bart. In the New 52 they completely changed Wally's character and turned him black, which is why Rebirth was necessary to bring pre Flashpoint Wally back. What doesn't make sense is that in Titans Hunt they reference that white Wally used to be a part of their team but is not missing, yet now in Titans Rebirth it seems they're just going to forget about him and pretend Pre Flashpoint Wally is their Wally.
>>
>>83281544
>>83281882
Nevermind the shit about Bart, I forgot black Wally is replacing him. The rest of my post still stands though. White Wally even explains in Rebirth that black Wally is his cousin, both of them named after their grandfather.

I like fanfic-tier bullshit, so I was pretty hyped when I saw the Watchmen characters were going to be incorporated to the canon and possibly fight some of the DC heroes, but their portrayal of Manhattan as a bastard who's doing evil shit because he's evil is ticking me off.

have you ever read Watchmen? Moore is saying that it takes some kind of personality problem for someone to want to put on a bright costume and fight crime, but he does not hate the idea of being a hero.

DC Rebirth didn't even have anything heroic happen in it.
>>
>>83264033

What the fuck even happened in that scene anyway? It looked like Batman just stared at some random hole and found Comedian's button in it.

No, I didn't read the text. I don't care enough about DC to read the words on a comic.
>>
>>83284005

If you actually read Johns' interviews about Rebirth, that's not how he intended it at all.
>>
>>83284109
>DC Rebirth didn't even have anything heroic happen in it.

Barry remembering Wally and saving him from being sucked back into the Speed Force was a pretty big "FUCK YEAH!" moment for me.

But this wasn't intended as a single story with conflict development and resolution, it's just a preview of what's coming with Rebirth.
>>
>>83284285
the button embedded itself during the Wally scene so he was looking for what flew in

I have a feeling this won't be touched upon until the road to the next relaunch begins.
King of Cereals, do you have enough reese's puffs to prove me wrong?
