DC and Marvel are on a roll.
What should this age of capeshit be called?
>>83283739
Age of Desperation?
To be fair, I gave zero fucks about the Cap thing but "three Jokers" makes me giggle every time I think about it. So good job, DC.
>>83283739
The cinematic age.
>>83283715
Cap being a hydra agent, as awful as it is written, at least was solely an attempt at creating a story. At worst, it's meant to incite outrage.
Three jokers though? That's just fucking lazy. It's just cashing in on the completely blatant batwankery that DC is pulling to keep its comics profitable.
>>83284004
How the fuck are there 4 different Harley books?
>>83284004
>4 (FOUR) Harley Quinn books above Superman
>>83284004
Worst part of Cap being a hydra agent is that it worked. Trade pre orders are great so far, and it keeps climbing up the comixology chart.
>>83284253
She sells
>>83284253
The numbers are literally right there man.
DC would be stupid to not have multiple Harley books like they have multiple Batman books.
>>83284255
>>83284253
Bitches love Harley Quinn
No seriously she appeals to the Hot Topic audience
>>83284004
Can you explain how they are doing three Jokers?
>>83284004
>thought it shopped
>it's real
When did Harley get so popular again? I mostly ignored her so I'm not sure.
>>83284485
No because they haven't explained it yet
>>83284527
She was popular to begin with in the DCAU and the Arkham games brought it back.
>>83284539
then how can "Hail Hydra" be "to tell a story" but whatever is happening with the Joker be "lazy?"
>>83283739

>>83283739
The "EVERYTHING WE TOUCH CATCHES OF FIRE" age.
>>83284004
how is that Batwankery?
>>83284004
I'd be fine with Harley being so popular if it was the Harley that I enjoyed. GCC is still one of the best Gotham-related series out there and I loved her characterization there. She stayed true to the character created by Timm and Dini, but was able to still make her own path outside of "Joker's gf."
In other words, not muh.
>>83284592
Because company wars. Because he just can't admit that both of them are probably equally stupid ideas.
>>83283739

>>83284705
Not that guy but let's admit 3 Jokers is a little, tiny bit more retarded. Just a drop more of retard juice in that one.

DC's future:
>Crisis on Infinite Jokers
>Thunder's quest for the JSA
>Legion of Super Levitz
>Too many Wallys
Marvel's future:
>Ruin Steve Rogers for another 10 years
>White men are evil and don't need rights
>It's a "the Big 2 are both shit" episode
There is literally nothing wrong with what DC is doing unless you're a butthurt Batfag, in which case nobody gives a shit because they're easily the most hated fanbase in the universe.
Captain America has been ruined so many times that there's hardly anything else they could do to screw him further. He's died, been replaced twice, gotten old and is now evil. Making him gay or some shit couldn't possibly do any more damage to the character than what has already been inflicted.
DC has a future in comics. Marvel should stop pretending they care and become a film studio full time.

Welp marvel ya made me say it
HAIL HYDRA!
>>83284751
Nah, at least that has the cool Hypercrisis backing of 3 Jokers in a deck of 52 cards. Plus, it gives them an easy way to erase Snyder's awful edgefest of a Joker.
>>83285221
Not only do they not work in the context of the DCU (especially Doctor Manhattan), but they're doing it for a glorified advertisement. And that's not even touching on how the Watchmen characters don't need to continue.
>>83285232

Pre-Crisis Joker
Post-Crisis Joker
Post-Flashpoint Joker.
Thus 3 Jokers. But even this analogy is an assumption.. Could be it or not
>>83285610
but Post-Crisis and Post-Flashpoint should be the same
>>83284004
That's not Batwankery, it's an explanation for why the Joker is written so sporadically. There's no way you can spin it as worse than Hydra Cap. None.
>>83284004
That is so depressing.
>>83285610
Ah, is that why there will also be 3 Lex Luthors, 3 Batmen, 3 Captain Marvels, etc.?
>>83285666
He said post-Crisis not pre-Flashpoint. There were still changes between the two like Zero Hour and Infinite Crisis that changed events. I'm not sure if it affected the Joker or not though because I don't read Batshit.
>>83285666
But nobody in-universe knew it. The current theory is that Joker fragments into a new subset of personalities during each universal crisis.
>>83285077
>DC has a future in comics. Marvel should stop pretending they care and become a film studio full time.
Agreed
>>83284004
When did all go so wrong with Harley?. Before it was short appearance here and there and still be good. Why did Harley had to fall so low
>>83285881
>When did all go so wrong with Harley?.
when she became DC deadpool.
>>83283715
>While no one was looking, the Universe created Three Jokers.

Babby question
Who's this guy? He kind of looks like villains-are-heroes-alternate-universe Red Hood from the Brave and the Bold TV show
>>83283815
>"three Jokers"
wait what?
is this true?
what the fuck?
>>83287724
Red Hood, some failed comedian that wore a costume then got dumped into chemicals and became one of the Jokers
>>83283739
Aluminium.
A lot is recycled from before (Capes go back to silver and bronze age characters and concepts, pulp inspired books become popular) , a lot of characters are now ubiquitous in Popular Culture, but at the same time many see it as being overall worse in quality.
>>83287120
Last run was better than anything done with Harley Quinn since her introduction to comics.
What if there's no three jokers, but joker has three names. Like latinos. Jack Joseph Conrad or some shit. So mobius chair was rethorically asking "which name you want" not "lolbatnigga you could never tell it's three different people?"
>>83287748
Yes, read the thread to find out how DCucks feebly attempt to justify it.
>>83287724
I liked Hero Red Hood from BatB way more than The Jokester of Earth 3.
>>83284970
Elaborate on the Thunder's Quest for the JSA, please. Are the JSA back? The REAL JSA?
>>83288063
When the JSA were forced to quit during the MCarthy era Johnny Thunder used the Genie to make everyone forget the JSA, and also 'threw away' the Genie.
When we see him Modern Day he regrets this and is in a nursing home, though to be crazy as he keeps talking about the JSA. Wally tells him to find the rest of the JSA when being thrown around in the Speed Force.

Alternatively, read the thread and see how Marvel drones pathetically try to live with their shitty Captain Hydra by saying "OH AT LEAST IT'S BETTER THAN 3 JOKERS R-RIGHT GUYS??"
>>83288916
The only people bothered by Captain Hydra are tumblr and movie-going casuals who don't read comics. This isn't the first time they've done something like this with Cap.
Cap has been a Werewolf, Deathlok, Old Man, Drug addicted Psychopath running for President in 2099, Nomad, etc. This isn't even that big of a fucking deal.
>>83288916
Did anyone actually defend Hydra Cap? If they did, that's pretty disgusting.But at least it is better than 3 Jokers.
>>83288916
Except everyone knows Hydra Cap is a cop-out that will be undone where as Three Jokers is just... just...

>>83285253

>>83287332
That's a bunch of toss, and you know it. If anything, it's the years of instinctively driving everyone away due to retarded worries about "tumblr" or "cancerous fanbases" that's turned /co/ into just another /pol-/v/ subsidiary, with a constant slight decrease in what makes this board unique.

>>83285253

>>83289358
>>83287923
nah, Rebirth straight up had Alfred let Batman know the Joker was pulling some crime, only for Batman to point out he literally just caught the Joker on the other side of town and Joker is currently in two places at once, before telling Alfred the chair said there's three all up
>>83292321
I read that differently, I thought Alfred was alerting Bruce of a crime, but Bruce said he had already resolved it. Then he told him about the three jokers thing.
>>83287324
seems more like 'every time the universe resets, the old Joker hung around even though a new one just got spat out'

America is plagued by the two party system, to a ridiculous degree.
Did you know that to vote for a party representative you have to be registered as a supporter of that party? That's absurd. The whole thing is geared that you are obligated to agree with your party's policy on all issues. and the other party in turn is opposed to all those issues. There's no room for you if you, for instance, want more budget directed to welfare, but stricter immigration.
such insane degrees of us vs them, it keeps politics impotent because so much goes into making sure the people from either side who agree on specific things don't cooperate to form a majority regarding that specific thing.
which leads to people taking personal offense when a bad guy happens to share some of their opinions, they read it as being accused of agreeing with all the bad guy's opinions and that the bad guy agrees with all of their
>>83293679
It seems like a standard case of that though. You signed up to to reclaim unlawfully taken territory, or defend Das Vaterland. Next thing you know, you're slaughtering minorities.

But how do you go from convincing Americans to get violent towards minorities to being willing to commit suicide bombings en masse, when the cultural/religious factors that are used by jihadists to justify it do not exist in the US? Especially when the people getting riled up about it would be keenly aware of Muslim stereotypes and more likely to question the idea of why the fuck they would do what the people they hate are doing, and on their own home soil no less. Is Red Skull going to get them flying planes into their own buildings as well?
>>83294302
Hitler did the same thing to Germany, which as far as I know was fairly civilized (aside from the depression) around that time. Even got them to do the suicide bombing bit.
Rational men can be brought to do terrible things, given the right cause and amount of charisma.
>>83292834
>Are the Harley books even good?
No. Not even close to good.
>>83294391
The IRA did the suicide bombing stuff as well, I might add. And Ireland isn't a country I associate with jihadism.

You severely underestimate Marvel. Tell me anon,how long exactly did it take for Whor to reveal that she was Jane Foster again?
>>83295004
People are mad because it shouldn't even BE a story arc. If comics worked like they did back in the Silver-Age where wacky shit were one-off's then it wouldn't be nearly as bad, but this serves to only to be Superior Spider-Man 2: Electric Boogaloo. It's just creatively bankrupt, and it's going to last long after the gimmick overstays it's welcome.
I don't know, this "three Jokers" premise might be weird enough to work. I want to see where it's going, whereas Cap turning evil is obviously not of his own choice.
>>83295262
>People are mad because it shouldn't even BE a story arc
Oh shut the fuck up. Why don't you actually read the whole thing and then criticized it on its own merit instead of stupid knee-jerk responses? Capeshit has already done everything. Nothing is original. That only doesn't make a good or bad story.
Let us just wait and see what happens with the joker reveal. I actually really like that panel, because you got your classic joker personified in the Red Hood outfit on the left. Then you got your current Joker in the middle. And on the right side, we got the famous joker card (which I believe is meant to allude to 80s Joker).

Not in my state hombre, you might consider moving. Also I see no problem with this, political parties are private entities, so of course they want their members to choose who represents them.
