So a guy on reddit was able to get a copy of Rebirth early and leaked some spoilers:Wally West is back. There are three Jokers. The Original JSA is back. Watchman are now part of the DCU and are responsible for the loss of time???
https://www.reddit.com/r/comicbooks/comments/4kagn8/guys_i_just_read_dc_rebirth/
Where the fuck is Scanbro if it's out in the wild already? Fucking hell
No surprise on the first and third. Don't care about the rest.
>after watchmen could be a thing
Why?
Interior images, obvious spoilers
>>82967770Kid Flash costume
dropped
>Three Jokers
WHAT
>>82967766
WHY
>more Watchmen
FUCK
>>82967788
MAXIMUM MARKETING
>>82967766
I think we all knew it was only a matter of time before the Watchmen characters were straight up walking around and interacting with the main DC universe
I just want to take the time to give a great big "FUCK YOU" to all the people who thought DC was baiting us andWally wouldn't be back
>>82967766
What? No. What the fuck? Why? What?
Oh boy alan is goint to rage
>>82967788
I can only hope this is a temporary thing just for Rebirth. Multiverse shenanigans and all that.
What are you doing DC?
>>82967766
...hold up what
>>82967788
Come on, Batman, you HAVE to kill at least two of them!
>>82967754
He's probably a little spooked after BC publicized his existence again a month or two back.
>Watchman are now part of the DCU

>>82967893
He's also a drone.
>>82967888
Okay.
>>82967893
Why does Rich only cause bad things to happen? Why bully a man for posting a free comic anyway? Awful.
>>82967906
He's posted Batman before despite that. Now was as good a time as any to cross the fanboy line again.
>>82967766
BRAVO JOHNS
IT'S FINALLY CANON, YOU GUYS!

Stop doubting based Cereal King. He'll use these characters better than Moore ever could. Maybe Morrison will write a Watchmen ongoing that will put the original mini to shame.
>>82967766
>Alan Moore grumbles angrily in the distance
Son of a fucking bitch.
I'm hoping against hope that the smiley is a red herring and is really The Jokers'
>>82967906
I mean, yeah, he has posted more Marvel stuff and admitted to preferring them, but I remember him coming through in the clutch with DC content before.
>>82967770
>Sticking a grown-ass man in that costume
We'll get Dick as Man-Robin in the next 10 years, just watch.
>>82967966
I know this is bait, but you still triggered me. Good job.
What about Pax Americana?
There are literally two Watchman groups now?I'm fine with it, actually.
I'm going to kill myself.
>>82967983

this sounds too fuckin bizarre to be true but I love it

I think I can get behind this and this makes me think the secret spin off book of rebirth that johns might write is a watchmen ongoing or wally or jsa
>>82968170
Orignal, Iconic, Edgelord IMO.
>>82967875
He's probably rolling in his grave.
Like, he dug a grave just to roll in, dude's fucking weird.
>>82967770
YES
>>82967975
Them repining anything makes him grumble.
This is going to make him have a seizure.
>>82968230
>I think I can get behind this and this makes me think the secret spin off book of rebirth that johns might write is a watchmen ongoing or wally or jsa
Johns isn't writing any books, anon. He's way too fucking busy.
>>82967761
WB has been thirsty for a new movie for years.
>>82968238
>Implying he doesn't already have a prebuilt grave for this sort of thing
>>82968230

>>82968230
>sucking Johns' dick this hard
Watchmen in the DCU is a fucking terrible idea, kill yourself.
>>82967770
Why do I feel like this costume choice was Ethan Van Sciver's?
>>82967766
Really the most appalling thing about this is that those characters really don't serve a purpose in the main universe in any way.
Like, seriously, they only work as the characters they are because they're in their own universe with it's own history. They may as well incorporate Camelot 3000 or Fables into DC Mainline continuity.
Imagine the (You)s the storytimer would have gotten on these pages. Poor guy.
>>82968176
That doesn't fit with the Titans and Flash solicits having a spoiler warning. He'll be around a while. Black Wally has a mysterious mentor coming up even.
>>82968221
It's not a leak when they're clearly redoing Reign of the Supermen.
>>82967770
This pose looks familiar.
Or is it just some pose?
>>82968291
This work for you?
>>82968264
>>82968275
So Johns brought watchmen to the main universe so he could make a before watchmen movie.
>>82968291
>>82967983
How is Snyder going to involve all those Jokers in his ASB run?
Will Batman have a foursome?

They don't give a FUCK if it doesn't serve a purpose. They want dat Batman v Rorschach crossover and you know it.
>>82967766
Welp here comes another shitstorm!
On the other hand they threw in Watchmen characters and references into Teen Titans Go.
>>82967715
Ozimandias saved DC 35 minutes ago.
>>82968116
what does 'original JSA' mean exactly? Straight Golden Age?
also, if we have Doctor Manhattan, does that mean we can get an un-Manhattan'd Captain Atom?
>>82968363
No, this is a really bad idea.
>>82967770
>>82968291
>>82968353
The biggest point of watchmen is the big pile of dollars it brings to DC
It was Moore and the readers who miss the actual point.
>>82967766
>that ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING expression on Batman's face
Even he isn't a fan of this.

Why bring watchmen into dcu when they could've just pushed Charlton characters.
Anyone got scans ofthe JSA returning?
>>82967766
This is probably just some meta multiverse thing, right?

>>82968582
None of this makes any sense. Hell, it's implied that the Watchmen universe has a Nuclear War shortly after the end of the book.
I like everything here except Watchmen being canon. Just use Pax Americans instead
>>82967766
IT HAS BEEN 0 DAYS SINCE DC DID SOMETHING STUPID
>>82968665
Johns steering things is a good choice. He's a great idea guy and doesn't have time to write most of the stuff he comes up with.
Sucks that he won't have an ongoing though because of movie shit.
>>82967766
I'm laughing so hard right now.
Moore is gonna kill himself after killing Johns
>>82968671
Implied where? Ozy saved the world, as I recall it.

>>82968701
Rorschach's journal. might spread dissent. may not believed but they could follow the trail
https://youtu.be/RE3wBUn-0p8
So anyone else wondering if this means the JSA and Minutemen were around at the same time?
>>82968690
2 birds with one stone
>>82968701
>Ozy saved the world
No he only delayed armageddon, he didn't stop it
The Ozymandias poem that's included in the comic tells you all you need to know
> look upon my works ye mighty and despair
>>82967766
This may just finally break my interest in comics.
Didn't expect that, but it just broke something in me.
>Watchman are now part of the DCU and are responsible for the loss of time???
>are responsible for the loss of time
What does it mean, /co/?
>>82968713
The rumor was that the buildup to that event book was going to be a year long thing somehow and we figured it was what Fabok and Reis were doing with Johns. Don't see how that happens now unless someone like King or Snyder can take over
>>82967766
>people pretending to be upset by this
>>82967766
I feel sick
>>82968176
So are the Watchmen the reason the DCU has gotten more cynical? Thats more meta than usual for Geoff
GIMME A PIC OF THE JSA
>>82968772
You drama queen
>>82968763
I'm done with the Big Two, that's for sure.
>>82967766

>>82968775
Remember though he is more heavy handed he is still in on the hypercrisis with Grant. It makes sense.
>>82968671
>>82968582
What if DC knew it was gonna leak? What if only the badge came through and the DC universe realize they are lesser to us?They wouldn't really make them canon, would they /co/?

Cursing their movies was bad enough.
>>82968771
I forgot who all the people outside of /co/ that demanded to boycott all the creators involved with Before Watchmen were. But maybe once that page gets shown they'll make their self-righteous selves known.
>>82968817
Will he finally slay the Stancubus in anger?
>>82968363
Sorry Anon, but this is a bad idea. DCU will completely invalidate any meaning Watchmen have. You want retarded Batman vs Nighte Owl crossover do Elsworlds or some shit, don't ruin one of few books of actual literary merit in the medium for novelty's sake.
Can we admit Johns is a hack now?
>>82968771
I don't understand why anyone would ever give that much of a shit about Watchmen. I literally could not care less. It was a good story, but it wasn't even Moore's best. I think they're just being dramatic because it's fun.
>>82968701

Today is a sad day for Alan Moore
>>82968582
only way I can accept this is a sliding timescales type deal like first there was the JSA abroad and Minutemen at home during WWII
and later on through out the Cold War we have Teams 1-7(shout out to Wildstorm) and the Watchmen
and now in the modern era we have the Justice League and their government ran counterparts Stormwatch/Authority and Task Force X.
If the Watchmen are capes from Earth-Beard it'll be stupid.
>>82968875
I would literally set myself on fire if this happened.
>>82968854
Noone can slay the Stan. Miller already tried and failed.
>>82968877
He's being meta but I think >>82968775 got it right and it's blaming Watchmen for the dark tone of modern comics and obviously the new 52 itself

Possibilities are Endless!
>>82968991
Everyone's been expecting it since they announced Rebirth.
>>82968991
it was fucking obvious since we saw a hand reach out of lightning on the cover. then we saw we had to read this before rebirth flash and rebirth titans. then the end of Titans hunt.
>>82968991
>the last Titans Hunt page
>Johns shushing Williamson
>Titans being pre NTT characters
>Black Wally being mentored by an unspecified speedster
>needing to read Rebirth oneshot for Flash and Titans
I mean yeah it was obvious
Can we all agree that this is a reboot?
>>82969018
I guess that's the best they can do if they won't put him on the JL. Still a downgrade though but at least he's with his friends again.
>>82968991
My soul won't rest until I see black Wally dead and forgotten.
>>82968777
DO IT I WANT MY JAY AND ALAN BACK
>>82968929
yeah then why didnt they have a different clue. that pin is painfully stupid to use
>>82969044
It's not a reboot. No more than Infinite Crisis was.
>>82969044
It's not though, they are not restarting the New 52 universe. Just shoving a bunch stuff into it.
>>82968989
there is no possibility of this being good because the Watchmen even being in the same DC Universe with the Justice League completely contradicts of Watchmen as both story and characters
>>82969044
Welcome to 2 months ago, of course it is.
>>82969031
>>82969037
>>82969040

No, it's Zero Hour and Infinite Crisis. We've been through this twice.

You're delusional, this is just Zero Hour and Infinite Crisis again.
>>82969112
I feel sorry for the poor bastard who has to trek into that cave and tell him.
>>82969123
If Wally is Kid Flash, what's Black Wally going to call himself?
>>82969169
They would explain why Bruce thought it was impossible. and why joker can go through so many different kinds of characterization
>>82967715
He dropped more spoilers, saying that Old Wally is now the leader of the Titans and loses his speed.
>>82968871
>>comic ends with Rorschach's journal about to be published
I thought the ending was made vague enough that it wasn't 100% that Rorschach's stuff was published.
>>82969095
Sure, but the first volumes are usually considered just half canon since they contradict later ones (Odin has a small orb through which he sees his DC version and such). And Daniel occasionally visits DCU, I know. But Im talking about Morpheus joining JL or something like that.
