DC motherfuckers! No JSA? No "Golden Age"? No Alan Scott? No Jay Garrick? No Starman? No legacy??

Posted by Mop (aka rburriel) Aug 23 '11, 20:29

And, of course, they screw up the clean slate because Batman's legacy stays largely in tact, and Green Lantern's too... but not all of it, because some parts don't make sense without the other building blocks, so good luck trying to make sense of any of this garbage.

Just as Marvel is starting to build out its legacy characters with Agents of Atlas and other characters.

DC's so screwed.

wrong. JSA will return with a new series by James Robinson and artist Nicola Scott later on. -- nm - Remlik Aug 23, 20:37 14
- Not what Newsarama says. They say Superman is the first cape. None before. -- nm - Mop Aug 23, 21:03 8
  - Are they turning the entire DCU into Smallville? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 23, 21:20
  - That doesn't mean there won't be a JSA. Nothing about the JSA requires it to occur before Supes shows up. -- nm - TWuG Aug 23, 21:16 6
    - My point is that there will be no "Golden Age" JSA. That's what I posted. Remlik can say that there's a Legion of Superheroes. - Mop Aug 23, 21:20
    - But see, losing the historical element basically neuters it's worth. -- nm - Michael Aug 23, 21:19 4
      - I couldn't possibly care less about what happened last year, let alone 40 years ago. If they tell a good story, I'm in. If they tell a bad story, I'm - TWuG Aug 23, 21:26
      - Ah. Someone who gets it. Erasing James Robinson's Starman run from continuity is criminal. - Mop Aug 23, 21:21 2
        
        Hmm. I better check my short boxes and make sure all those issues I had of Robinson's Starman haven't up and disappeared on me. The hardcovers are - TWuG Aug 23, 21:29
        
        Yeah, I have decided. Cancelling all DC except for Bats. -- nm - Michael Aug 23, 21:25
- Good to hear. I like Robinson's work. I'm also pleased that DC is jettisoning so much of the crap - TWuG Aug 23, 20:45 4
  - Let me know when you get the crib notes on what they jettison and what they keep. -- nm - Mop Aug 23, 21:03 1
    - You make it sound like the new stories will be incomprehensible. If something that happened pre-Sept 2011 is relevant I'd expect it'll be touched on. - TWuG Aug 23, 21:10
  - some of the new stuff will be good and some will stink. Just like in 86 -- nm - Remlik Aug 23, 20:55 1
    - Absolutely. Some of it looks awful. But I have high hopes for a few things. - TWuG Aug 23, 20:57
don't even talk to me about what they are doing to the New Gods and Darkseid universe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- nm - the ghost of Jack Kirby Aug 23, 20:30 3
- Actually, I have no idea what they're doing with the New Gods in the reboot, but I bet it sucks. -- nm - Mop Aug 23, 20:33 2
  - ignored & forgotten -- nm - peglegpete Aug 23, 20:45
  - The New Gods suck, so that's a given. -- nm - TWuG Aug 23, 20:44
I don't see how attacking the National Capital Region will solve anything. -- nm - loosilu Aug 23, 20:30
