DC's New 52: Reviews and Discussion (Spoilers welcolme and likely)
- Thread starter JD
- Start date
There could be some major New 52 announcements this weekend. The DC panels should be lively ones now compared to the SDCC panels now that most of the books will be in their second issues.
Batman and Robin was pretty good. An improvement over the first issue. I like the fact that Bruce is struggling to be a good father to Damian and sees his potential and is worried about the potential corruption of his goodness from Talia's indoctrination and conditioning, but it kind of has taken away a bit from the work Grayson did with him. I am loving Batwoman right now. Green Lantern is okay...probably will end up dropping it though. Mysasichev, I don't know what is happening to me...I'm not liking Geoff Johns! It's like I've stepped through some kind of funky portal and entered into a world where he is a bad writer!!! I can't explain it

It's like that Red Dwarf special that everybody hates. You know, the one where they come to the real world.
The more I think about Aquaman the more I dislike it. It's so desperate, almost fan-fictiony in how it addresses the meta-commentary. You know why Aquaman's not cool? His writer cares whether he's cool.
Sinestro Corps War was still the shit, tho.
Batgirl is very generic so far. I really don't like how Babs went from this empowering figure and this leader of a squad and the Justice League's information source to just another girl in a costume. Really feels like a huge step down for the character's importance. I'm only reading it to find out how she can walk again then I'll probably stop
I really like Green Lantern as always. Hal and Sinestro teaming up against the Sinestro Corps?! Awesome!

Except they aren't really teaming up. Sinestro is forcing Hal to work for him, not the same thing as teaming up. That would be cooler. I agree with you about Batgirl. If you've read Batman, Incorporated or Bruce Wayne: The Road Home there are clues as to how she can walk again. My guess is advanced Wayne nanotech of some kind.
Yeah that was a sad part. I hate how dumb Hal is sometimes.
DC has sold a lot of the New 52...

I thought the #2 issue of GL was actually pretty good. It really served to show the differences in how Sinestro and Hal operates as GLs and as individuals.
I kind of liked GL #2. Although it pains me that Johns writes Sinestro so well, but can't write Hal for the life of him. His Hal varies between coming off as insanely dull or a caricature of a Han Solo type. Nowhere in there is there room for an actual 3-dimensional character. But it has good action, so it gets a pass, I suppose.
She's staying on Batgirl.
Might have to pass on GA then. One the worst writers in the business.
Haven't read the second Batgirl yet, but I thought the suggestion was this was a slightly different timeline, and in this one she had only been temporarily paralyzed by the shooting.
That's at least how I interpreted it.
That seems to match Batgirl #2 as well... but then... I was pretty bored and have stopped caring about that comic...
The implication I got from Batgirl #2 was that Barbara doesn't know exactly why she she's walking. The fact that they've teased it twice says we'll eventually get the answer.
In other comic news, not related to DC's "New 52."
I picked up "Ghostbusters #2" today as well as TMNT 1 and 2, both comics from IDW. GB#2 was pretty good, I think it's a comic series that's more or less going to work.
And the two new TMNT books were pretty good too!

I agree on the reimagined TMNT from IDW. I've enjoyed them both so far. Not a fan of the art on Ghostbusters though but I did get a kick out of who Ray's ghostly spirit guide looks like!! That is WIN!!

Why are you guys posting about non New 52 comics? That isn't what this thread is for, and Trekker started his own thread regarding the ongoing Ghostbusters comic.
