Rebirth

I haven't comics for years. Did DC dump nu52 for another reboot?
>>
>>83095167
Only kinda. They are slotting in a lot of pre new 52 stuff.
>>
Cam some please post the whole thing already
>>
>>83095167
It feels like they're trying to bring back the entire Post Crisis continuity at the expense of nu52 which is fine with me, might piss off the newfags that got into DC with 52 though.

>>
>>83095321
New 52 was a bad idea anyways. All it did was set up properties for movie adaptations, if you look at things like Lobo or Curse of Shazam (latter of which is okayish but not the best Cap story out there)

And it's only adding stuff, not removing. It's a brand new world. It's really hard for me to see why nu52fags would have a "not muh" problem with it.
>>
>>83095480
has there ever been a fandom that didn't have a "not muh" problem?

they killed 52 Superman, that might tick off all 6 of his fans
>>
>>83095321
>It feels like they're trying to bring back the entire Post Crisis continuity at the expense of nu52

Wrong. New 52 still happened and is continuing to happen
>>
The reveal that black Wally isn't the new52 incarnation of white Wally just another relative named for the same guy is such bullshit I kind of love it

Family members can have the same name. It happens

They aren't smoshing anything together yet. All we know is that the charters still feel relationships that were lost but only Superman and Wally remember the pre flashpoint universe. This may change in the event that 2 years down the road but not yet

ain't that clean, have him go by his middle name or something from now on.

>>83095670

This Batman is post crisis Batman. Manhattan has been playing around with time. Like I said more may come back but right now all we have is Wally and Superman. A good way to get Batman back is to bring up the fact that he still has the letter from Flashpoint Thomas Wayne in the Batcave

True.

>>83095527
Neh, it isn't.

Ray Palmer's been given his Post-Crisis history again. Blue Beetle's been given his Post-Crisis history again. It stands to reason that they're bringing Post-Crisis continuity back with the New 52 stories being reworked to accomodate that.

Also, it's literally Post-Crisis continuity according to what the leaks say.
>>
Has this been leaked already?
>>
>>83095722
So he just doesn't remember anything about his post crisis life?

That seems oddly confusing, I like your idea though.

>>83095750
They could have at least used Betty
>>
>>83095344
That's stupid.
>>
>>83095765

It's both. New 52 continuity is post crisis continuity with bits of post crisis ripped out or changed. There's not going to be a snap back to Post crisis continuity and the rebirth stories are still building from New 52 continuity
>>
>>83095824
>So he just doesn't remember anything about his post crisis life?

Yeah he doesn't remember but he feels it and figures out that something is wrong. None of them know it was Manhattan

Who else will they fix by declaring New 52 to be the work of aliens?

Fun fact: I have an older half-brother from a relationship my father had with another woman before he met my mother. They were both broadly a part of the same social circle and had some close friends in common, but didn't know each other. In particular there was a guy named David who was like a brother to my father and a close friend to both women. They both named their sons - my brother and I - David, and when my brother and I became aware of each other's existence, it was pretty amusing to both of us.

(And before anyone jumps to the obvious conclusion based upon this limited information, neither my brother nor I resemble David in any way but both closely resemble our father. This having been said, David's wife had a son who looks almost exactly like us, including eye colouration which we and our father have but which David and his wife lack, so... tangled webs)

I knew a guy who didn't know that the man who raised him since birth wasn't really his father.

Mom cheated and got knocked up once, they never said anything about it to anyone.

She didn't tell him until his "dad" had been dead for like three years and he was 29.
>>
>>83096666
not no more, new multiverse, which begs the question, why hasn't Manhattan stepped in to stop Anti-Monitor?
>>
>>83095559

It's common for Hispanic women to all have the same first name but different middle names. As a result they all go by their middle name with family but first name in public. That's why when you first get the go-ahead to call a Hispanic girl by her middle name it's like leveling up!

Also in Applachia there's lots and lots of family members with THE EXACT SAME NAME! No middle name difference at all! This is why in Applachia everyone has such weird nicknames like, Slick, Stretch, Bubba, Curly Top, etc. Since everyone has the same name you need some nickname to differentiate all the people.

>It's really hard for me to see why nu52fags would have a "not muh" problem with it
Well there is the fact that New 52 Superman is getting killed off to accommodate the return of the "one true Superman."
>>
>>83096651

I've actually never played that series, so I wouldn't know. Though if it is, I wonder how far the parallels go. I know for a while in the 1960s my father was briefly a part of a mercenary company before becoming a small-time drug kingpin. One of his pushers was even briefly a suspect in the Charles Manson killings: http://www.cielodrive.com/updates/william-billy-doyle-interviewed-by-lapd-lt-earl-deemer-83069-part-one/

The Superman that has survived every single reboot you mean.

You just can't kill that guy
>>
>>83096666
It's a recurring pattern. The true hand is the metaphorical hand of the reader/the empty hand. In story, thought, it has been interpretated as the anti monitor, Alexander Luthor Jr, The source, The presence, Manhattan, etc. Several people have been the hand, but they are all based on the same archetype that exists outside the comic.

Let me get this straight. Johns justified multiple versions of supergirl by saying it was the same person, who was under the effects of Kryptonite poisoning?

Both of these were before FC
Public Enemies was the first Superman/Batman arc, and the Search for Kryptonite arc was a few years before FC.

Yeah, he actually remembers Linda and the kids. He's just in an old costume when he breaks free of the Speed Force because "Manhattan stole ten years from everyone's life"

>>83097085
then what the hell is Damian doing running around?

>>83097114
The ten years aren't consecutive.

Just like when the Nu52 started in the first place, everyone's continuity is missing in chunks, like how all the Robins are closer together in age than they should be.
>>
>>83097114

Manhattan didn't just take a big junk he took bits and pieces. So some people got more of their life than others. Johns fixed all the continuity errors in the New 52 in one clean swoop

Some would argue Post-Crisis Supes has been dead since 2004, or since the end of the Triangle Era.
That guy has SO many origins, it's really hard to believe he's One True anything.
Some could say, people and DC/WB is treating Superman as if he was born only in 1986.
Especially considering the incompetence and reluctance at handling Pre-Crisis Superman elements when writing N52 Superman, because he was derived from Golden Age.

It's a metaphore for writers missing the point of watchmen and trying to emulate it in there comics.
The problem is the metaphore works far better if you have somebody from outside both universes representing the writers.
As is it just feels like they are saying watchmen was intended to have this effect.

Multiple origins. Birthright, Secret Origins and so on.
A friend said to me, Post-Crises SM had 3 origins in 6 years.
How many origins does one guy need?
The origins were adopted and discarded.
"Post-Crisis" Superman is a pastiche of elements and gimmicks after the 90s.
Fact is, DC/WB doesn't know what to do with the poor guy. That, and incompetent with him.
They fucked up post-Crises Superman. Then they fucked up New-52 Superman. What makes you think they'll better now? With the same assholes running the show as before.
Just because we have a Superman with Lois and a kid? They did that before FP and then pussied out.
As far I'm concern, Rebirth is just a way to cover their asses using Watchmen and Moore and the supposed perceptions people had frm Watchmen to cover the fact that it was their decisions BEFORE and AFTER Flashpoint that fucked DC up. The same people. The heads, editors and writers.
If Rebirth fails in part or in whole, I expect pink slips all around and restructuring.

I'm out. I'm an oldfag (34). I remember Zero Hour, Infinite Crisis, Final Crisis (which had bizarrely the least effects on DC canon afaik despite being the biggest Crisis since COIE), & Flashpoint/Nu52.

I honestly just can't keep up or get straight in my head who DC characters are anymore and their histories. It's honestly too much with too many versions and retcons that I am totally lost upon reading almost any DC book nowadays.

I also don't think Johns really understood Watchmen as it was the story, plot, world, etc that were important. The characters were just ciphers or archetypes used for the story.

Marvel, Image, & 2000 AD suits me fine in my old age. DC is for the kids I guess. Too hard and confusing to follow for us oldfags.

Wasn't Superman depowered and finally happy? Why did he die and how? Also, is the Superman with a child the one that died at the hands of doomsday?

>>83098721
Maybe she was adopted so technically is not Lois???

>>83099280
Superbro got powers back and is dying from them right now.
Superman with child died at hands of Doomsday, yes. But so did Superbro in past. And looks like he'll get whacked by Doomsday again.
>>
>>83095043
Meh

Is DC going to die soon?

What? Why is he dying because of his powers and how did super bro died from being doomsdayed and why is he getting doomsdayed again? This is confusing

>Nrama: You mentioned Geoff Johns' role in this, and I've talked to a few writers who have described the process of sitting down with Geoff for some time and discussing the stories they were writing. But is Geoff not writing anything himself for Rebirth after the DC Universe: Rebirth one-shot?

>DiDio: I think… you know what? As of right now, Geoff isn't writing anything. He's got a lot of other demands that have been put on him. But as you said, the good thing is that he's been directly working with the writers and working with the editorial team, and really helped spread the sensibilities we were looking for throughout the line.

>Nrama: Wow, that's probably the biggest change though, with Rebirth. DC doesn't have a Geoff Johns book. I just realized it.

>DiDio: Oh we realized it beforehand!

>Nrama: But they're all sort of infused with Geoff Johns I guess.

>Lee: Yeah he meets with the editors once a week, and we brought in writers that he sat down with for, you know, four to six hours over days, with editors and writers. And he has experience working in writers rooms, and that's very much the approach he takes with it.

>So his influence is felt across the entire line. And that is a trade-off. But at the same time, I think we have some awesome stories that speak to what makes these characters so unique and exciting.

Johns basically traded writing for editing.

Now that he's apparently going away forever, I can say that New 52 Superman had such a lackluster run it almost seemed like they intentionally sabotaged it out of some bizarre sadism.

So at the end he is actually Conner or Kal-L?
>>
>>83099418
>What? Why is he dying because of his powers

It's a mix of the ending of the arc where he recovered his powers and the power overloads from Darkseid war and that other Justice league arc with Rao as the villain.

>and how did super bro died from being doomsdayed and why is he getting doomsdayed again? This is confusing
No one is getting killed by Doomsday again. New52Superman is sacrificing himself to stop some copy Flare Superman thing, while Pre-52 Superman will face Doomsday afterwards.
>>
>>83098591
A character called Oz tells Pre-Flashpoint Clark he and Lois are not who they think they are and neither was N52 Superman, who goes out exactly like Ben Reily in Superman#52 and melts
>>
>>83099462

OK, so super bro is the one who got depowered and now is dying because of it and the Superman with a child is the first Superman who died at the hands of Doomsday and he will fight him again? Didn't Doomsday got sealed into a black hole or another dimension because he can't die?
>>
>>83099493
>Didn't Doomsday got sealed into a black hole or another dimension because he can't die?
Yeah, we don't know why he's returning, that story starts post-Rebirth.
>>
>>83099418
Superbro's dying from a combination of the Fire Pits energy from the Darkseid War, the Kyrptonite chemotherapy from Truth/Savage Dawn arc and the Rao thing from JLA.
He gets weaker, dying. Doesn't quite mean, he gonna die from those, maybe the Solar Flare Superman kills him when he battles the guy in Action 52 and finally SM 52.

But with DC's directionless management of SM; post-Rebirth, it'll be up to sales I guess, who'll stay between Pre-FP and N52. Why else drag it out for 1, maybe 2 years.
Maybe.

It's surreal to me that people feel the need to keep tinkering with this, especially now; Morrison has shown that, as long as you're familiar with Superman in broad strokes, you can literally tell his origin story in eight words, and that's all the audience needs.
>>
>>83099093
Well, I'm an olderfag (35) and I'm fucking stoked about DC trying a little harder to show they actually give a shit about established characters and not just replacing them with with whatever crayon happens to be three shades darker in the Crayola box at any given moment.

For fuck's sake, man, we're getting Ted Kord back!

No, they used Red K to retcon out her unlikable cuntish personality and messed up utterly overly complicated family history.

Maybe they're from a universe identical to Post-Crisis/Pre-FP.

There was a resolution to the Pandora stuff in her Future's End tie in, which was basically a finale for her series. I don't even remember it well though, but it turns out that the sins were aspects of her, and they often fought among themselves and the winner recreated the world. Current Pandora finally remembers the pre-reboot stuff and decides to stop it all by killing all versions of herself. Of course, now with her getting randomly killed here that Future's End issue means nothing.

Even before that though, it was always odd because the Pandora thing didn't really line up with the actual DC reboots we had seen, aside from Flashpoint, and were just a bunch of reboots that only existed according to that story itself.

In the New52 his mommy put him in an incubator for a bit longer. At least that's how they handwaved it back then. I never really accepted that Batman was back to being around 31 anyways. I just pretended he had still been operating for around 15 years and just got rejuvenated at the vanishing point in RoBW.

The 5 year timeline never made sense so I just looked at it like they actually had all their previous adventures and then their lives were compressed without them being aware. Geoff Johns oddly enough made a bunch of retcons that basically confirmed my headcanon.
>>
>>83102578
the new timeline fucked up the Batman/Robins dynamics so much

>>83099093
This is far less confusing than Final Crisis or COIE.

You are all a bunch of fucking puppets parsing out the half assed machinations of a company that was repeatedly and unequivocally proven that it has no idea what it is doing and has no love for or understanding of the medium it helped define. I hope you all are happy when DC dies.

So does anyone know if DC will not be selling the trades faster now? Twice the comics, but I wonder if they'll be bumping them up in size instead.

Also in Applachia there's lots and lots of family members with THE EXACT SAME NAME! No middle name difference at all! This is why in Applachia everyone has such weird nicknames like, Slick, Stretch, Bubba, Curly Top, etc. Since everyone has the same name you need some nickname to differentiate all the people.

West Virginian here, can confirm. There's a lot of "Junior"s and "the Second/Third" suffixes attached to names, and nicknames to otherwise differentiate.

I'm 48. I remember the end of the Silver and beginning of the Bronze Age.

In theory I should be the demographic that beats its breast and screams NOT MUH and demands Hal always be the GL of sector 2814. In fact, I wanted to see all the torches passed and was mightily pissed when Johns reset everything to how it was when I was 12 as though this was objectively better.

It isn't.
>>
>>83113738
Well, the bronze age did a complete 180 on comics as they came out of the super silly just for kids fun zone and entered into the actually telling a real story phase.

so in that sense it was a marked improvement over the silverage, it would have overshadowed any angst fans may have had over the characters changing since it really truly moved the stories forward.

this is different scenario, this time instead of moving the story forward they rebooted it, and it was a different reboot from COIE in that this actually wiped out previous continuity instead of merging it. Even after COIE in the Post-Crisis era shit moved forward, things still changed an characters grew.

52, for the last 5 years has done fuck all except retell stories, and retell them worse. They didn't improve upon anything, nothing moved forward characters reverted back, etc.

That's where 52 fucked up, maybe now things can continue to move forward like they did before instead of running in place writing fan-fiction tier retellings of 75 years of prior backstory.
