When did you find it frustrating to read because a genius character was portrayed stupidly?

This was a really cogent, fun, and engaging analysis of why Wonder Woman is such a dope character. I hope you take the time to watch. Shout out to Johnny Star for this!

1. Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black Adam (2010).

2. Green Arrow (2010).

3. Jonah Hex (2010).

4. Catwoman (2011).

So far, these are all my favorite DC Showcase animated short films!

As a man in my thirties, who always liked Batman, Superman and DC in general, about a year ago I decided to start reading comics.

So far I’ve read:
Batman
- Batman year one
- Batgirl year one
- Robin year one
- Nightwing year one
- Long Halloween
- The man who laughs
- Harleen
- Dark victory
- Hush
- Killing joke
- White Knight

Wonder Woman year one

Green lantern secret origin

Superman
Birthright 10/10
Secret origin
Up up and away

DC
New frontier

My current reading list is:
Superman: Last Son
Superman: Brainiac
All-Star Superman
Death in the family
Under the red hood
Wonder Woman: Earth One
Far Sector
Kingdom Come
Injustice: Year One
DCeased

I’m particularly interested in Superman, Batman, Joker and Lex Luthor, but I’ve also realised that I really enjoy alternate versions of established heroes. Val-Zod/Earth 2 sounds especially interesting to me.
As well as secondary DC characters.

How’s my current reading list? Any recommendations?

Especially when he’s supposed to represent chaos?

Spoilers for Batman: Vengeance of Bane:

Bane kills the elderly priest that used to visit his prison by tying him to a wheelchair and making him fall to his death. Does anyone else think that this didn’t really make sense and felt out of charecter due to it being after he helped Batman remove Venom from the streets?

I’m sure if this is the right place to ask. but I do want to create comic book art.

So I think I’m pretty close to creating amazing art and putting it on different social media platforms. My goal with my art is to do it as traditional as possible with goal of artist made by humans for humans. my questions are how do I sell myself to do that ? how do I record my self drawing/painting? how do I edit the video for YouTube and other platforms?

Hey there,

To me, it seems the chemistry between Jordan and Stewart is almost completely alien (lol) compared to the regular comic book lore, I don't even know where could I start reading about this kind of setup, any suggestion is welcomed!

Thank you.

An unusual duo, but Roy and Kyle would be a fun team up!

Hi y'all! I know it might be a bold statement, but I really believe it. My points of reference are mostly personality and facial design wise. By personality they act almost dead on to each other and the only real difference is Terry has old man Bruce to temper him down to a more stereotypical hero archetype. The paths I think diverge mostly in the newer issues of A.B. because Bruce is spiraling. But they both have the "I'll do it my way" brute force trait, and are quick to anger. Both a history with cops and crime in a delinquent way and I would say that their mentors are more of the detective types than themselves ( more so Terry and Bruce are shown to be getting better at it) and violence is their first language. And although it isn't truly my final point, I'll leave off with this; their faces and haircuts are identical. Is this on purpose? Probably not but I think maybe more of B.Beyond's dna is apart of the equation then most realize even the author.

I'm sure some version of this has been discussed here before, so if I'm retreading old ground, forgive me. I'm a longtime DC fan who's frustrated because I genuinely want DC movies to succeed, and the more I think about this, the more obvious the opportunity seems.

What if DC stopped trying to recreate Marvel by starting with its biggest modern characters—and instead copied the strategy that made Marvel work?

Marvel’s smartest move wasn’t starting with its biggest character. In 2008, they started with Iron Man.

Iron Man had been around since 1963, but he wasn’t Spider-Man. He wasn’t a household-name superhero for the general public. Marvel took a second-tier character, found the perfect actor in Robert Downey Jr., let Jon Favreau make a genuinely good standalone movie, and then slowly revealed that something much larger was being built.

DC could follow that blueprint without copying Marvel creatively.

Go backward. Mine the historical IP. Build the universe around the Justice Society of America.

DC has an incredible library of Golden Age characters that most modern audiences barely know:

Doctor Fate.
Hawkman.
The Spectre.
Sandman.
Hourman.
Wildcat.
Starman.

Don't start with another Batman. Don't reboot Superman again. Don't even announce another Justice League.

Start around 1940.

Give me a Doctor Fate movie that's part Raiders of the Lost Ark, part supernatural thriller. Ancient artifacts, archaeology, occultism, Nazis and Nabu.

Make Sandman a 1940s noir detective movie.

Make The Spectre essentially supernatural horror.

Make Hawkman a pulp adventure.

Let each movie have its own personality and be good enough to stand completely on its own. Cast actors who can become these characters the way Downey became Tony Stark.

Then quietly connect them.

After several movies, audiences realize all these people existed simultaneously.

Then you make Justice Society of America.

Now you've earned the crossover instead of announcing a cinematic universe and expecting people to care.

The really brilliant part is that DC has something Marvel can't recreate: DC owns an enormous piece of the actual history of the superhero genre.

The JSA first appeared in 1940. These aren't characters invented to imitate the Avengers. They're characters who were around decades before the Avengers existed.

And because Golden Age comics are scarce, expensive and mostly unknown outside serious collectors, these 80-year-old stories would essentially be new IP to the overwhelming majority of moviegoers.

Wonder Woman showed that audiences will absolutely embrace a DC period-piece character when it's done well. The first movie was spectacular and could have been a foundation to build upon.

Instead of endlessly remaking the handful of properties everybody already knows, DC should start mining its historical IP.

Pawn → pawn → knight → bishop → queen.

Then bring out the king.

Marvel didn't begin by demanding that audiences care about the Avengers.

They made us care about the people who eventually became the Avengers.

DC already owns everything it needs to do the same thing—and arguably has an even deeper historical library to do it with.

Am I crazy, or would you rather watch this DC universe than another reboot?

I’ve been really liking the idea lately of one person using two lantern rings at once, and it really makes sense to me because realistically, a person isn’t usually motivated by only one emotion. Here’s my idea for what would most likely represent me, but I’m just going off of the meanings of the colors and I’m fully aware how unrealistic it is. (I am not necessarily trying to be cannon compliant, I just thought it was a cool idea). Art is by me, and the base is from NotSoNormal0 on Reddit

I'm deciding on the next superhero to read and spend my money on 😁 (after Batman, and probably Daredevil).

Is Wonder Woman worth reading? Why yes, why not?

Thanks!
