>Superman
Writing got a long winded and the dialogue is a little stiff at times but I'm excited about where it's going. Superman the family man is a lot more appealing to me than New52 Supes.
>Batman
Kind of weird for a one shot but the writing is pretty good. Not looking forward to Finch as the artist though. I've enjoyed everything King's written so far.
>Green Arrow
The artist change really benefited the series. I also like how they got into Oliver and Dinah right away.
>Green Lanterns
Not as shit as I thought it would be but still not too great.
>>83371531
So where do we find out what the deal with Doctor Manhattan is?
>>83371562
It'd probably be in Justice League if it's anywhere.
Only the Superman one worked for me. The Batman one was weirdly unfocused and didn't seem to be about anyone or anything in particular, I don't know what it means for the series. The Lanterns one was better actually, but it sure didn't deliver a lot of hope and optimism. Haven't seen Green Arrow yet, is there a storytime somewhere?
>>83371564
I have to wait two more weeks for Titans?
Fuck way to drop the ball DC
>>83371531
>Superman
Pretty good. I like that they stuck with the hope/optimism but the Doomsday flashbacks went on for too long and felt random.
>Batman
It was ok. I liked the change to Calendar Man but don't really get why they're pushing Duke. Dislike his costume.
>Green Lantern
Liked this on the best so far. Great character interactions. New best girl Jessica.
Haven't read Green Arrow yet but I have high hopes. For being really nothing but setup's I thought they were all fine enough.
>>83371564
I thought there was meant to be a Booster Gold book too
>>83372089

>Superman the family man is a lot more appealing to me than New52 Supes.
Love superdaddy .
Batman Rebirth issue were a complete and utter waste of time and worse money.
>>83372256
I'll be honest, yeah it was. Which sucks because I was looking forward to it the most, but it was about Duke and not much else.
I didn't buy a comic about Batman's rebirth to read about Duke existing.
superman was good, batman wasnt bad i feel
, gl was meh.
iam looking forward to WW one and titans ones.
sad theres no legion of super heros one.
>>83371562
You don't.
>>83371564
Are you going to be updating this with each issue? So when batman #1 comes out this'll have #2 & #3?
I didn't like Batman, Superman, & Green Lanterns. The first two I found pretty meh. I liked a couple pages of GL hat were written by Johns but overall didn't care for it. And I'm really not a fan of how Humphries writes Jessica and Simon.
>>83372105
>don't really get why they're pushing Duke
It's Snyder's creation. He wants to push his characters. And as long as he's writing Batman, he's the one in charge.
Haven't read GA yet, but I'm not too impressed by the other three.
Hopefully the other books will be more interesting.
>>83371531
Liked GL and GA.
>>83372256
>>83372288
Maybe Gwenpool's more your speed.
>>83373726
It's a pretty good book, especially compared to Batman Rebirth, I agree. I expected more from Tom King
>>83373732
lol what a fucking joke.
>>83373732
gross
>>83371531
Too early to say, since I'm not a dcfag, but I won't mindReign of Supermen II
I love it.
>>83371564
okay, I'm picking wondy, deathstroke and JL
>>83371562
Titans solicits mention that they'll deal with the one who stole time. The lack of marketing makes it look like there'll be some catch though.
>>83373643
Snyder is cancer,
So is Bruce training Duke to be the next batman or something?
>>83372256
This issue was kinda boring...I did not like the Bruce fan service, and I still don't know why Batman keeps giving children colored costumes.
>>83377402
Basically.
>>83377402
nah, Lark
it's something new
>>83377402
No, he's trying something new.
>>83373111
>sad theres no legion of super heros one
Yet. There's no Legion of Superheroes Rebirth yet.
>>83371562
Somebody raised an interesting point when it comes to using Watchmen characters like this: the way the contract with Moore is written, at some point in the future the rights WILL go back to him or his surviving kin. It may take 50 years, but it's going to happen at some point unless Moore willingly relinquishes his claim to the characters (and he won't). Well, after that point, can DC reprint Rebirth? I don't think they can, not without changing Dr. Manhattan to Captain New Jersey.

Only seven more days left before I lose all hope for DC forever.
I havent read any New 52 Superman, can I jump straight into Superman Rebirth? Green Arrow Rebirth was really good, art suited the character really well.

this and sups..
>>83377712
surely DC wouldnt walk themselves into a corner like that, r-right guys...
Enjoyed Batman, Superman and Arrow. Lantern was okay, I guess, but not enough to convince me to buy the book in the future.
>>83378209
What the fuck just happened here?!
Wow. I officially loathe one of Snyder's Batman stories.
Alright. I'm well aware that I'm going to be standing out here by myself, but I fucking HATED this. Like, I can't even describe the rage I feel right now. Just pure fury mingled with crushing disappointment.
Well, what do you know? I guess could describe it!
Maybe Snyder has been the king of the Batverse for so long now, that he's started believing his own hype? I mean, really ?!

RIP Batman. Nice to see the Sups. back again.
>>83377712
Watchmen will never go out of print
Even if they didn't need to keep it in print to keep the rights, it's the second biggest seller DC has year after year
>>83371531
Green Arrow was solid, Batman was middling at best, Superman was ok, Green Lanterns was better than expected.
>>83371531
>>Batman
It's kinda meh.
Don't know what to think.
Batman was meh. I never buy Batbooks anyway, and I never really cared much for Snyders run. Frankly the Batfamily is overdue for some pruning. Too many sidekicks running around. I'm half expecting to see the Batfamily start a soccer team and play in the World Cup in an issue soon. Why would anyone even bother trying to pull off a crime in Gotham anymore? You can't go more than a few blocks without running into a Bat or bird-themed vigilante.
GA was decent, I never reallyed cared for GA though. Probably won't buy.
Supes was decent, the only one so far I'm sold on actually picking up floppies for.
GLs was...a thing that happened. Loved Green Lantern for decades, but ever since Venditti took over it's been utter shit, probably the worst it's been since the 80s. Just fuck off Venditti. Lantern titles suffer from the same massive roster as the Batfamily too. Too many Earth GLs running around, there's enough now for each of them to have a different colored ring and be an unstoppable cosmic Sentai team. It's a little ridiculous. GL books need to clean house:
>Simon and Jessica as Earth lanterns, exclusively helping the JL and fighting threats on Earth, don't get them involved in big cosmic wars
>Hal and Kyle patrolling space and dealing with cosmic threats
>Make Guy Warrior or Red Lantern again and have him just be some renegade cosmic fighter bouncing between books or something. He should have the glove and be a GL vigilante or something
>Let Stewart get married, ground him on some planet to mope around and build shit. He only comes out of retirement to help out with GL events and bitches about being "too old for this shit"
Also while they're at it, get rid of Indigo and Star Sapphires, they're only relevant when they're needed for a plot point or to teleport somewhere. Larfleeze is comic relief, Sinestro and Reds as GL antagonists, and make Saint Walker the only Blue and have him be Kyle's partner and a support for the GLs in general.
>>83371531
Cautiously optimistic.
>Superman
I didn't hate it, but I feel like it took an entire issue to do what could have been accomplished in like five pages.
>Batman
Unorganized. Scattered. I want to see where it is going, and the Calendar Man stuff was cool, but I think it had the reverse of Supe's problem. It did too much in too little space.
>Green Arrow
I dig it. That's really all I have to say. Very middle of the road for me. It seems like they are setting Ollie up for a big fall.
>Green Lanterns
Like >>83380078 says, the GLs are in serious need of pruning, but I have a feeling that might be the direction the series is heading. Also, superhero-odd-couple turned buddy-cops is usually a good formula, so I'm willing to follow it.
All in all, not bad.
Alright guys, been around this DC game long enough to know that reboots start out exciting and lose steam fast.
Im really into the art on Superman, Green Arrow and Batman - do we know how long the artists are going to stay on these books? I'd hate it if these gorgeous titles immediately shifted over to jobber, mediocre artists right after I get all excited again.
>>83371531
only good book was GA sadly.
>>83379060
Supes was bland shit
Loved Green Arrow, found the others mediocre.
Looking forward to WW next week, hopefully it doesn't disappoint.
Duke is lame and now has a lame costume, returning everything to status quo is lame. Guess I'm gonna have to buy Superman.
>>83381220
I wouldn't call this the new status quo. This is a gimmicky big event that would last for about 2 years before they reboot the whole thing again
Anyone got a link to batman rebirth #1?
>>83371531
I don't understand how Finch keeps getting so much work. Avengers Diassembled had atrocious art except for a few flashback pages by Coipel, which just pointed up how bad Finch's work looked.
>>83379380
What was so rage inducing about it? I mean, it was a little bland, but it was mostly setting stuff up. And the Calendar Man thing was cool.
Honestly, I have a feeling all these "Rebirth" one-shots are going to be underwhelming. They're all basically glorified previews/prologues to the meat of the stories the authors want to tell. They exist to get new readers and readers who've been out of the stories for awhile a chance to get caught up and grounded before the #1s start hitting in a few weeks.
I'm reserving judgement on everything until we get the real #1s rolling out.
Is Rebirth #1 worth reading if you don't give a fuck about nostalgia?
>>83381969No.
>>83381969
I found Rebirth #1 to be a tiresome read. It's basically one huge appeal to nostalgia that just sets up a future arc where it's apparently explained how Old universe became Nu52 and how it can be reversed. I don't personally care about the reasons, I just want Nu52 fucking gone forever. If you don't have any stake in this, I think it's totally fine to skip Rebirth #1 completely and just read whatever real series you're interested in.
>>83371531
>Batman
Disappointed. Boring issue with a dull Duke and dull Calendar Man. It doesn't feel like it's the main Bat-book. More like a filler. A boring one. Can we please have Batman only book without any of these sidekicks? Please?
I guess the only decent rebirth books will be Flash and Titans for obvious reasons.
Rest of them are just boring prologues.
One step closer to the future where Duke and Harper are Batman's partners.
Green Arrow > Superman = Batman > Green Lanterns
>>83382684
Good, I hope you cry even harder when it actually happens.
>>83382737
Green Arrow >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Superman=Batman=Green Lanterns
>>83382766
Wont be reading this or anything else from DC. I wont be supporting them.
>>83382932
Now let's hope you stay out of the threads while you're at it.
>>83382958
oh King pls.
m just glad Batman out now.
>>83382958
Don't respond to retarded Batfags
>>83371531
What the fuck is up with the mail order subscriptions? I've gotten the same copy-pasted response from their customer service to wait for more details, and they haven't said shit.
>>83371531
Not impressed so far.
>>83383733
We're talking about Rebirth, not Civil War 2
I enjoyed Green Arrow, especially the art
Batman was alright but it kinda felt like filler
Green Lanterns was about as meh as I was expecting
Haven't read Superman yet
>>83382597
If I cared about Duke at all maybe I would have liked it more, but I have no interest in his character. Hopefully King isn't too beholden to Synder's old stuff and can do his own thing. Duke is basically Robin even if they are going to cal him Lark. It's just a knockoff Robin with the bird moniker and all.
>>83384393
At this point I'm expecting a new Bat-sidekick every year.
>>83384236
Civil War 2 is shit and almost all of today's Rebirth issues were meh. GA was good though.
Not everything is a company war you faggot.
I really don't like Snyder and Co.
>>83384602
Don't get so asspained, Bendis.
>>83384552
Damian was introduced 10 years ago.
>>83384878
Harper was last year, Duke is this year, I'm sure we'll get another next year, etc. Gotta pump out as many Batbooks as possible
>>83384971
Harper was never really Bat's sidekick though.
>>83373726
Honestly, Gwenpool's first issue was far better than Batman Rebirth.
They where all ok. Maybe it was because I came in expecting the first issue and instead it felt like a one shot (which is what it was and I am being a faggot for going in with false expectations). I'll probably just end up trade waiting on Superman and just pirate the rest
>>83371531
>Batman
>Kind of weird for a one shot but the writing is pretty good. Not looking forward to Finch as the artist though. I've enjoyed everything King's written so far.
This issue is disappointing. Art is gorgeous but everything else is just so dull and boring. Didn't expect that from Tom King. Oh, and Snyder just couldn't not bring his boring pet character in this issue. "Hey, you will be something else, totally not Robin, my sidekick. Well, you'll do everything other Robins did, but you're different." Eh, such a letdown.
The Batfamily should only be Batman, Robin, Nightwing and Batgirl, prove me wrong.
Pro-tip:This is my subjective opinion, so you probably can

Holy shit. The DC friends outnumber the Marvel friends 2/1 on this board.
There are more Bat-fans alone than the rest of us combined.
This incredible, ass-pained victim-syndrome kills me.
>>83386260
I'd rather have the We Wuz Robins still be at Bat's disposal when he needed footwork done/petty crimes he can't be bothered with.
>>83386577
either you're samefagging from >>83385321 or you're the dumbest son of a bitch alive.
Nobody uses the word "patrician" anymore except ironically.
For fucks sake.
>>83386558
I've never really counted them as Batfam, but they'd still be around if I got my druthers.
>>83371531
I loved Batman. I havent been this excited for an ongoing in years.
>>83386658
I'm not your patrician friend, and half the shit on /co/ is posted ironically.
I don't think you are cut out for a board as rough-and-tumble as "Cartoons and Comics".
You should go hang out on /po/ if this is the sort of banter than causes you to cry in a corner.
>>83386616
Why not have a stable full of non-costumed young people to do footwork? The Crime Ally Irregulars, if you will.
Green Arrow's in the buy pile.
But none of the others were actually bad, which is nice.
>>83386755
>none of the others were actually bad
It's the New 52 all over again, sounds swell!
This is my first introduction to DC comics. I enjoyed Rebirth and Batman/Superman's one shots. I would appreciate if they explained some things better like who Duke is and how Calendar Man was able to set up those extremely large machines. I did read Lois and Clark before Supes so I understand everything going on there.
>>83386830
In two years it won't matter.
Just go with it.
>>83386830
Explaining who Duke is really isnt that important. He was a kid Batman saved in Zero Year who was inspired by Batman and went on to form a gang or Robins when Damian died.
>>83386880
It wouldn't have hurt to just toss that in, they at least bothered to explain his parents absence.
Batman: It was solid. A lot of it seemed to be Synder setting things for his return. So I'm curious what King will do in the ongoing when he's on his own.
Superman: Recap but it worked well as a way to show Clark that he couldn't wait on the side lines.
Green Arrow: Irritated me. Dinah came off like the authors mouthpiece and nothing like how she was in Batgirl or her own book.
Green Lanterns: Read like John's wrote most of it. Humphries is apparently one of his best friends though so they might just have similar styles. Simon's costume makes him look like a gimp.
>>83377712
The rights WILL go back....as soon as DC takes the book out of print. Which will never happen.
>>83377712
>watchmen will go out of print
you are the dumbest nig alive
Green Arrow and Batman were my favorite out of the bunch, followed by Superman and then Lantern.
On a side note, I'm just really glad to have Lucius acknowledged.
Trying to avoid /co/ tainting my own critical judgement
>Green Arrow
Was a pretty fun read, the art was great if a little bit fantastical for an urban setting (though I do get a hard on for things like treehouse cities)
>Green Lantern
I haven't read a lot of Green Lantern (or any of Geoff's stuff) but the opening exposition of the previous green lanterns was really dull. Eh, buddy cop story might be good, might be shit, too early to say. Also can they emphasize how muslim Simon is some more, please?
>Batman
I feel about the same way I did watching the scene of bats lifting up bruce in BVS: Not sure if I think it's the most awesome thing ever or completely retarded. And...gold robin...??? And he only uses him as a stop watch. Not hip on Calendar man being reinvented as a phoenix who is mostly focused on the temperature.
>Superman
Those delicious Death of Superman spreads were great. Lana is insufferable though, and only delaying and extorting someone who wants the exact same thing as her. Also feel dumb for not understanding what happened at the end that made pre-flashpoint supes give up.
>>83389032
>t the opening exposition of the previous green lanterns was really dull
The Guardians always have the same opinion of Earth Lanterns "waaaah they don't follow orders and just cause problems!" Yet they keep getting rings.
For as shit as Venditti is, it was nice seeing Hal fucking around space on his own not having the Guardians bitch and moan every other issue about how much of a hot head he is. Shame we're back to standard GL status quo.
>>83371564
Alright, so the last I payed attention to Nightwing was in Forever Ever. How is Dick even Nightwing again? Or does he not care about having a secret identity anymore?
>>83390647
I thought the Guardians were evil and caused that whole war a few years ago? Or am I just way out of touch now...
>>83371531
GA was good
the rest were okay
not going to get too concerned over one shots
I'm so going to wait for trades.
I liked Batman and Superman a lot.
GA was good, but I've never really been invested in the character.I thought Green Lanterns was alright, but this was my first experience with Baz
>>83371531
Batman was terrible. Had no focus whatsoever and the story/action was completely uninteresting. And as far as being an entry point for new readers it completely failed to explain anything meaningful or entice anyone enough to want to read on.
Are batbooks really this bad nowadays or was this just exceptionally unexceptional?
>>83391924
>no entry point for new readers
What's there to explain about Batman? He's a billionaire, he fights eccentric villains, he has a butler and a sidekick and a cave, he works with Gordon and the GCPD, he is a detective with peak human abilities, he's daring and stubborn, all of which was present in that one shot. It pretty much hit all the beats a new reader would expect from Batman. You could say it was too bad it didn't do more than that, but that's why it was a one shot.
