The end.
Lot of things happened in this issue, I had no faith in Jurgens, but this was good so I'm following at least this first arc

I like that /co/ is so hype for this that there's two storytimes active at once.

Superman vs. Luthor is self-justifying.

He must not've been trying very hard, considering if I recall correctly, Lex was complicit in Nu52 Metallo, Brainiac, and Amazo.

Holy shit. This is the best Rebirth issue yet. By far. Granted I haven't read rest of todays releases, I'll get on it. Just had to come by and say that I love this issue.

Last Week was Superman, Batman, Green Lantern(s), and SJW Arrow, right?

And this week is Action Comics (ongoing), Detective Comics (ongoing), Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash, and... is that it?

I also did and it's for sure the best first issue of Rebirth for now.

I dont get it. Green Arrow was miles better than this.

Action Comics 957 (2016) (Webrip) (The Last Kryptonian-DCP)
http://www29.zippyshare.com/v/BeeE503i/file.html
>>
>>83595362
It's a different Lex Luthor. And he hasn't seen every bad thing he's ever done. He's seen none of it. Which is why Lois urged caution, but he didn't listen.
>>
>>83595377
It's mostly post-crisis fags happy that the "real" Superman is back. And I agree with you on GA being better. That's the best I've read sof ar of Rebirth. But I have to get to the rest of this week's titles.
>>
>>83595362
>every bad thing he ever did

He has literally done nothing wrong and Pre-Flashpoint Superman knows that. And yet he still attacked the guy in public out of paranoia because he can't accept that this is a different Lex.

Only excusing this is if there's mind control going on.
>>
>>83595377
Is there anyone claiming Green Arrow wasn't the best one?*

*pending the storytiming of Flash and Aquaman at least
>>
>/co/ reading Superman together

FUCK I almost forgot was this felkt like. FFS it's been like what? 5 years since we made a habit of this? And like 6 since anyone cared since that was Grounded at the end there? All the New 52 Superman storytimes have been like ghost towns in comparison to this except for the Morrison ones, and even then those were a totally different vibe. We spent more time in those either Morrison circle-jerking or talking about hypercrisis faggotry.
>>
>>83595426
I miss when hypercrisis threads had new material. It's just reposts now.
>>
>>83595377
I love Post-Crisis Superman probably the best, but I have to agree: he's being all sorts of judgmental.

Then again, I didn't keep up with Nu52 Superman at all, so I don't know if Luthor really does deserve that level of suspicion. Likely he does, because most cape stories come down to "punch the bad guy [even if bad guy hasn't done bad yet]".
>>
>>83595405
>He has literally done nothing wrong
Quit memeing already goddamn.
>>
>>83595377
SJW Arrow was actually shit.
>>
>>83595389
>It's a different Lex Luthor

Is it really though? He is the same Luthor that Post crisis Superman knows just with key moments in time removed. And he did dirty shit during New 52 anyway
>>
>>83595444
Rebirth sparked tons of new stuff.
>>
>>83595426
The end of Morrison's Action Comics was GOAT. This doesn't come close.
>>
>>83595457
For all pre-flashpoint Supes knows he hasn't. Only us as the readers know his sins
>>
>>83595474
Kill yourself.
>>
>>83595477
This isn't even about quality, man. It's just that we haven't really had these kinds of Superman threads is YEARS.
>>
>>83595426
characterfags are disgusting
>>
>>83595475
>He is the same Luthor that Post crisis Superman knows just with key moments in time removed. And he did dirty shit during New 52 anyway
And Post-Crisis SUperman does not know of any fo that stuff.
>>
>>83595452
>>83595405
>>83595389

>so I don't know if Luthor really does deserve that level of suspicion

And I always thought it was dumb that Lex became president. Turns out people can't spot a cunt when he's right in front of them
>>
>>83595494
I was talking about the threads. The thread with everyone saying their name backwards was hype as hell.
>>
>>83595457
I'm not memeing, it's the truth. This Luthor so far is a mostly good person. And pFP Superman just goes and attacks him for no reason. Why?
>>
>>83595484

He was literally in a Super prison at the start of the New 52
>>
>>83595512

Placing your hand on a shield is attacking, now?
>>
>>83595197
Following writers doesn't mean blindly eating up any shit they put out but the creators are a far better indication of quality than the characters.
>>
>>83595525
Which we don't know how he got there (unless it was that action comics story by Daniels and Diggle in which case he wasn't that bad in it) and he redeemed himself from it. Plus even Lois told him not to treat him with such suspicion since they don't know what he's truly like in this world.
>>
>>83595330
Post-Crisis Superman and pre-Crisis Superman are ultimately the same character. It was really their continuity that got rebooted.

That's the biggest different between Crisis On Infinite Earths and New 52. Crisis was a new continuity, New 52 was new versions of EVERYTHING (except Batman and Green Lantern since those were the biggest sellers DC had at the time, so they were afraid to kill those golden geese but didn't mind fucking ruining everything else).
>>
>>83595525
I love how crazy that concept was.

>If you're so smart then why don't you design a prison even you can't escape?
>I'm gonna prove you wrong superfaggot. Watch this I don't ever getting out.
>>
>>83595540
It's not. But he claims that Luthor attacked him because Luthor has the seense to have saftey precautions? Seems like he needed an excuse to fight Luthor due to his hate.
>>
>>83595512
This is Pre-52 Superman, they guy that was never wrong about anything.
If he decides to go against Luthor he si right.
>>
>>83595540
It is literally rape
>>
>>83595540
He should keep his hands to himself
>>
>>83595511
Yeah, but again very different vibe. There was more or less no difference between Morrison AC storytimes and the hypercrisis threads that were all over the board at the time.
>>
>>83595577
The last time he inspired anyone was when he died.
>>
>>83595512
He isnt fucl you and fuck johns
>>
>>83594902
He is watching a wall of different monitors all playing different things.

Just like Ozymandias
>>
>>83595550
Not really. Most characters are either usually not shit or usually shit. EVERY writer is usually shit.
>>
>People defending Lex.
>in 2016

this is the same guy who sits on the throne of Apokalips. and has a custom motherbox that says his name.
>>
>>83595601
Fuck, what was that line from again?
>>
>>83595614
How is he gonna be king of Apokalips and Superman at the same time.

Is one of those only a part time gig?
>>
>>83595627
Johns butchering characters as usual
>>
>>83595627
Infinite Crisis.

Shit event but that line was great. Not that I agree with it but asshole Batman is best Batman.
>>
>>83595614
Yeah, he's pretty great, m8.
>>
>>83595614
at least he actually defended the planet while this Superman was hiding in the shadows during the events of Forever Evil and other disasters
>>
>>83595603
Pre-Flashpoint Superman checked, why are you doubting him if you trust his judgement so much? Lex did nothing wrong and Clark went full bitch mode here

>>83595614
that is just funny not harmful
>>
>>83595614
Exactly. Lex is great guy, I'm glad you agree
>>
>America hasn't even woken up yet
>TWO consecutive Superman storytimes already have hundreds of posts EACH

He's back.
>>
>>83595655
That really ruined Superman for me. What kind of hero stays out of cataclysmic events when they could be saving lives? Great power, great responsibility and all that jazz. Come on Clark.

The wrong Superman died.
>>
>>83595655
The League had it handled.

Canonically, he's been stopping offscreen disasters that the other Supes was too busy to get to while staying unseen.

The League were reportedly dead at that time. They had nothing handled. Yet, he still did not help.

>>
>>83595704
But the villains saved the day in Forever Evil.
>>
>>83595702
This is the main reason why I won't accept this as pre-Flashpoint Superman. It literally makes no sense for him to sit out shit that huge. They are basically ignoring his entire character to suggest he would do that.

Man post Crisis Superman and Lois must have been shit investigative journalists. How hard would it have been for either one to find out that Lex was torturing Nu52 Superman? Or that Awful hybrid arc where he infected Superman and then attacked him in front of people ?
>>
>>83595702
>>83595746
Literally NOTHING in New 52 makes any sense.
>>
>>83595611
That's fucking retarded. I bet you only read capeshit.
>>
>>83595779
They are being written out of character and then sold to idiots as the real deal who will eat it up just because DC says it's the real Superman who is back. This is Grounded-tier shit.
>>
>>83595738
Right, so, they had it handled. Or for all we know, Superbeard was, in fact, out there recapturing minor villains at too-fast-to-see speed offscreen the entire time. After all, the story suggested EVERY city was being overrun by rogues, but the only cities we ACTUALLY saw were...what, Metropolis, Gotham, and Central? That leaves several for Superbeard to be fighting crime in.

The bigger problem is how overblown the amount of destruction during Forever Evil was, compared to the complete lack of focus on rebuilding once it was over.

It seems more like, in retrospect, the League wasn't missing that long and the villains didn't wreck shit that bad, after all.
>>
>>83595735

It's best not to think about this shit or you will question why Superman didn't jump in and save the day a hundred other times
>>
>>83595806

So it's out of character for Superman to attack Lex for doing nothing wrong even tough he has done plenty wrong?
>>
>>83595785
And rebirth is making it worse.

>so New 52 is fucked right?
>well it's actually post crisis continuity with 10 years removed

this part isn't true
>>
>>83595787
Not really a cape reader, no.
>>
>>83595827
plenty wrong that he doesn't know of
he is attaccking an innocent man because "the one we knew was an asshole"

if any other hero did this you would call him an asshole but since this is Superman it's fine as usual
>>
>>83595815
There's no real reason. They could have just had his family get here during DCYou like Parallax Hal and found some bullshit to explain the baby aging quickly.
>>
>>83595807
Well the Moon got moved. I Think Superman would be the guy to check that out.
>>
>>83595806
It's not perfect, but it's an improvement.

That's kind of Rebirth in a nutshell.
>>
>>83595832
It's pre-New 52 with the continuity rewritten by Manhattan. So, no, it's not "post crisis continuity". Same UNIVERSE, different continuity.
>>
>>83595894
THIS.

As opposed to how it was before where New 52 was supposed to be a completely new multiverse.
>>
>>83595872
>but it's an improvement
It's really not. Morrison, Snyder, Johns, and Pak (when not in a crossover) all did better work.
>>
>>83595915
Sure thing, homo.
>>
>>83595894
New 52 was just pre New 52 continuity rewritten by Pandora and her meeting of three timelines.
Hi
Very little has changed besides throwing another factor into the mix.
>>
>>83595872
I don't see it as an improvement. It's still a bad status quo that needs to be repaired by competent writers in the long run. We have a Superman who has let people die on his watch without attempting to help in major disasters. He also has no connections to the universe at all or any of the heroes in it. This is trash.

>That's kind of Rebirth in a nutshell.

And this isn't true either. Even GL doesn't seem to be as big of a mess with its status quo and it's probably the next worst franchise as far as Rebirth ongoings go.
>>
>>83595938
*Merging not meeting
>>
>>83595938
It was made very clear that it was a new universe/multiverse. Now that's been retconned away.
>>
>>83595915
Johns didn't even come close to being as good as his own pre-Flashpoint run on Action, Snyder was fucking filler, and Pak might as well have been writing Conner.
>>
>>83595838

It actually is though. Superman doesn't know of course but this Luthor is still the same old Luthor. A liar, a schemer and a petty murderer and this was all shown in the New 52
>>
>>83595952
>He also has no connections to the universe at all or any of the heroes in it.

But that's only because everyone was made to forget everything. Whether or not everyone suddenly remembers like Barry did with Wally or not has yet to be seen.
>>
>>83595859
>if any other hero did this you would call him an asshole but since this is Superman it's fine as usual

Putting words in mouth there a bit buddy
>>
>>83595975
THIS.

Johns' Action Comics was a CLASSIC. His New 52 Superman was just "less shit than everyone else's except Morrison's".
>>
>>83595999
Barry only got the new 52 version of history in his memory, he didn't get the old version (at least in the Rebirth special, I haven't read Flash Rebirth 2.0 yet so maybe he'll get the pre-Flashpoint stuff too). There won't be a set of new 52 memories attached to pre-Flashpoint Superman for anyone to regain.
>>
>>83595655
Yeah, It's a really good question as to what the hell was Pre-Nu52 Superman was doing during the events of Forever Evil? It really does not seem in character for him to just sit back and do nothing. With the Justice League being apparently dead, there's no way he'd do nothing at all.

I'd like to at least think he was off world fighting some sort of alien menace. They could've at least just say Mr.Mxy came in and was fucking around with him during that time if they wanna get lazy with it...
>>
>>83595565
Lobdell is a real guilty pleasure for me.
>>
>>83594878
But Superman did attack him first
Is supes blinded by his rage or did the artist fuck up the flow of the action
>>
Why they can no longer write Superman in a decent way? WHY?

The real Superman would have given an opportunity for Lex to be a hero, not trusting him of course, but without going to him play the bully for no reason.

When Lex would fuck everything to hell, Clark would wear the costume and save the day.

This story is so...disappointing.
>>
>>83596078
I think the blinded by rahe angle is pretty clear.
>>
Hey remember when Lex was a businessman who defended against Superman with his intellect by staying ahead and using the system against him instead of literally trading punches like just another superpowered asshole?

What happened to those days?
>>
>>83595562

There was no need to provoke Superman. I would rather see Luthor manages Doomsday alone, for this first issue.

Because Batman gets good writers and good in continuity runs, Batfags hate that. They're jealous that in 10 years timeframe Superman only got 2 good runs and rest was utter horseshit or pure mediocrity.

>>83596196
Superman would intervene to save him and together they would defeat Doomsday, without unworthy spectacle. Obviously they hate each other, but would come to a truce to allow the existence of two Superman. It would have been a better way to introduce the thing.

YES please.

>>83596083
>The real Superman would have given an opportunity for Lex to be a hero, not trusting him of course, but without going to him play the bully for no reason.

At the very least, pre-Flashpoint Superman should have remembered that going after Luthor publicly without evidence of wrongdoing is always a bad idea. Instead, he charges right in there without evidence, a plan, or any kind of forethought. It's just bad writing.
It would have been much better if he returned just when Doomsday showed up, as soon as he sees that SuperLex can't handle the situation.
>>
>>83596083

The last story of the old universes ended with Lex being given the power of god and then fucking things up.

This is exactly what I should have been. It was also a good excuse to force Clark to wear the costume. So easy.

>>83596430
In Pre-Flash time he also became president and eventually went full creazy , but this is not a valid excuse. Clark still believes this is another universe.

Did anyone else feel like this issue was kind of 'meh'?

I don't like Lex Luthor having his own Superman armor, even for what he's doing. Actually I do kind of like it but idk.

Post-Crisis Supes acted like kind of a dick.

Muh Doomsday

It's actually pretty cool that /co/ is hyped enough for Superman to support two storytime threads simultaneously.
>>
>>83596050
Could have been depleted. Wasn't there a mention that his powers were on the fritz, which was why Lois was more worried about him? Add that to him being weaker as well, mentioned in Lois and Clark, and he could well have been basically a normal person during most of nu52's crisis points.
>>
>>83597794
>I don't like Lex Luthor having his own Superman armor, even for what he's doing. Actually I do kind of like it but idk.

I like. I think that four of the five issues dedicated to "Superior Superman" on Metropolis , until, inevitably it fails because of his ego... and SuperDad patrolling the world could be a good start, but here already we begin badly.
>>
>>83597952
Yeah I feel like the idea here is great and actually something new and original for once but the execution leaves a little to be desired for.

>I don't like Lex Luthor having his own Superman armor, even for what he's doing. Actually I do kind of like it but idk.
He technically didn't make it. It was given to him by the people of Apokolips. They mistook him for their messiah when it was obviously meant to be superman.

Darkseid War. Don't know if Jurgens will be referencing it at all or not. Might do so in the Justice League issue he's writing
>>
>>83598012
Justice League: Darkseid Wars. The last issue has them giving him the armor to tie in to this book, but it's funny how the prophecy went on about an alien who was raised by farmers and Lex just went "yep that's me"
>>
>>83598026
>>83598032
Heh, thanks guys.

I've missed a lot of the nu52. I think that's about when I kinda started to get sick of DC, only reading some of the good stuff that actually interested me, like Azz's WW and Morrison's The Multiversity. I'm so glad they're restoring post-Crisis continuity.

I could do with less Superman kinda being a preemptive dick though.
>>
>>83598058
Just be warned, Darkseid War isn't good in my opinion.

Oh no he's a cunt but Post-crisis literally unprovoked-ly attacked him.

Will read this and all the Superman books from now on. Can't say I'm too impressed though. It kinda just falls in the range of "decent enough to read in storytimes".
>>
>>83598437
They should've used Rebirth as an opportunity to mindwipe the entire universe so that no one remembers that Clark is Superman.
>>
>>83598469
I liked his public identity being known but having it split does give Superman some well needed rest. It's likely now that there's a superman almost identical to the old one and a Clark Kent at the same place and same time people will begin to think they're not the same guy, thus restoring his secret identity.

That's always been how Clark shaves, dude. Obviously razors won't cut super-hair, so he has to bounce heat vision off a piece of mirror tough enough to withstand the heat, like a chunk of his baby ship or something.
>>
Anyone else feel Clark Kent is really Martian Manhunter or someone, and they are going to spin some story about Superman "pretending" to be Clark to keep him safe and everyone buys and his SecretID is reestablished and they never mention the reveal again

Also how shitty is daily planet security that an ex dead employee just waltzed in and no one noticed

Gotta say, I'm legit interested in a Superman title for the first time in decades.

I really like the idea of the older/wiser pre-flashpoint supes stepping in and picking back up the mantle. One of my main criticisms of the Nu-52 Supes was that he was never the leader Superman should be and always defaulted to Batman.

There are dozens of stories that explain that this fucking attitude of ignorant civilians who would like Superman totally annulling himself and his life to save people 24/7 it is the first reason for him to freak out.

Samaritan in a positive case, Plutonian in a negative. This world already had a Superman, and Post Crisis Clark, should not even be here (or at least it was what he thought) , him, more than anyone deserved, a break for his family.
