Now that DC is an infinite multiverse again, what stories do you want them to tell?
I want to see a universe where their comics are good.
you kept dreaming
Sadly that universe was destroyed long ago.
Calm down Satan. You are asking for the impossible.
>Comic is good
>You're deaf and blind
One with straight white male characters.
This. 100 percent unironically its all I want. I’ll add competent, self-sufficient straight white males.
Flash and Robin are pretty good. No, not Tim as Robin. Damian as Robin. And there's a dozen Batman comics. You're welcome.
Damian isn’t white
remember "final" crisis
I wish comic creators would come up with new good characters so we didn't have 99999 Batmen or gay black character of the week
when the frick is the next issue
Next week issue 2
Hmm...how about Superman but evil?
zod?
How about Joker as Batman
I'm waiting for Wonder Woman as Doctor Psycho.
Teen Titans reboot similar to Ultimate Spider-Man in that it starts from scratch and acts like they first became superheroes in modern times.
What about Hal Jordan as Par- oh....
>Now that DC is an infinite multiverse again
When hasn't it except for a few months after COIE and Nu52?
Didn't the Justice League just die? What happened there?
they're all alive and ignoring Dark Crisis in their own books. DC is a mess narratively and nothing but a ground zero reboot can fix what is going
If I was EIC at DC I'd make a hard 10 year plan for who debuts when, Month 1 only Superman and Batman are out, Month 2 add Wonder Woman, Month 3 add the Flash Month 24 Superman gets married to Lois, Month 36 Jon Kent is born so on and so on.
keep it going for 10 years till the core DCU is fleshed out and do an event where at the end the books no longer come out in 1:1 real timescale, similar to how after the Death of Gwen Stacy Spider-Man stopped aging.
the main books will be be for strict continuity stuff and should be collected in a seasonal trade format, Batman 1-4 would be Batman Spring 2024, and need for longer stories could be done in minis written for trade.
>If I was EIC at DC I'd make a hard 10 year plan
That's basically what Didio wanted to do
That shit doesn't work. Rebooting is the communism of big 2 comics. Everyone thinks they'll be the one to make it work and that their perfect plan for the "true" timeline will be the one that sticks. It doesn't.
>That shit doesn't work.
The sad thing is that it COULD.
They literally spent years planning COIE and Diane Nelson gave Didio and Lee barely a few months to crank out Nu52 but both projects and other hard/soft reboots are so focused the event that they never spent enough time considering what would immediately follow them and never had a management structure to hold it in place and it always falls apart in about 18-24 months. I'm convinced Didio was really trying to make 5G stable but it kind of destroyed him in the process.
Also? Modern editors just don't give a shit anymore, neither do execs.
>Didn't the Justice League just die? What happened there?
They're just locked in dream worlds outside of the local multiverse. It was what happened with Barry, so it was strongly implied from the start and spoiled by solicits.
What the frick does this even mean? We already have this "everything is canon" nonsense.
No more “only 52 Earths”.
Now there’s infinite pointless elseworlds.
So, it's the same shit we have now, only rebranded differently?
What is even the point of all those fricking events?
The same shit we've had for 30 years.
Even post-Crisis when there was only one "main" Earth, they still had scores of Elseworld stories.
All it really amounted to was folding 2 and 1 together.
So, now I am officially lost as to why DC is making such a big deal out of all of this multiverse shit. Just reboot already, because after Infinite Frontier the entire timeline is a fricking apocalyptic mess.
Also, checked.
Because editorial has no idea what they're doing and most of their decent writers have jumped ship.
The OGN stuff they've been putting out seems to be doing fine but that's about it.
>Just reboot already,
they have tried many times, but they can never fully get rid of all the bagage
>but they can never fully get rid of all the bagage
Maybe they could if they did an actual reboot and not just reboot everything but Batman and Green Lantern
You can't keep a minor character dead in modern comic, straight up removing decades of continuity is impossible. The closest they ever got was the new 52 and when it innevitably got undone, DC continuity was made into the mess it is today.
It's not a mess though. Its only casuals who get confused by that. Like, what needs to be clarified to you?
what is canon
>everything
part of pre crisis, post crisis and new 52 just cannot coexist on the same timeline
If everything is canon then nothing is. Because it's a contradictory mess.
Editors at DC might think they're clever with their one-liners, but they don't have any coherent time-line. Even in the recent guidebook we were shown a sliding time-scale that showed that the heroes had only been around for 10-20 years.
This is, why this new attempt will fail and why we can expect a new Crisis come 2024.
Contradictory events took place in previous iteration of the universe, yet they still happened. It's past lives.It's not a difficult concept to wrap your head around.
so is grant's multiversity map pointless now?
It's a fricking shame.
Multiversity could have been the start of a ton of fun, creative stories.
Instead they just roll out Justice Incarnate for the occasional shitty story.
Its getting updated. Even then, Morrison had intended for DC to be an intinite, pre crisis multiverse by the end of multiversity
We didn't even fully explore the 52 or get any of the cool alt-universe stories they promised us back in Multiversity.
What makes you think going back to an infinite multiverse will change anything?
Infinite gays
It won't. It's another dumb gimmick. Because at this point I don't think that even the most hardcore of comicbook gays can follow all those multiverses, omniverses, linearverses and whatever other horseshit DC is shitting out since Infinite Frontier.
I want them to stop with this incredibly lame multiverse shit.
I'd like them to actually tell stories instead of "fixing" the shate of their multiverse only to break it again after five minutes.
Also non-Batman stories please
BREAKING:
DC Comics announces ‘DC Infinite 52,’ concluding series Superman: Son of Kal-El, Nightwing, Tim Drake: Robin, and I Am Batman.
Batman, Superman, and other titles will be renumbered to #1.
More details to be announced at San Diego Comic-Con
I wish that was actually true, but this is such a blatant bait, it's not even funny.
Does that mean there’s a universe where Jon Kent is such a fricking obnoxious gay?
*isn’t
There is a universe where Jon Kent and Dick Grayson are fricking
I wish
What if Superman was... evil?
They literally tried to do this in the main universe.
Not "evil," but more "vaguely conservative authoritarian butthole" to contrast with what Jon has become.
Morrison came back to stop that from happening.
Don’t forget New 52’s DOOMED.
Power Girl marrying me
sharing your Peeg hotwife with Cinemaphile
NO NO NO NO NO
Did they even confirm what all of the finite universes were?
No, they didn't even confirm half of them. Which was pretty fricking stupid.
Don't care. Multiverses are boring.
This.
It was cute back in the Silver/Bronze age with the annual JLA/JSA crossovers with some but now it seems like DC/Marvel rely on capeshit multiverses for ancillary reasons that don't involve trying to tell a good story.
Writers can create alternate versions of established characters that are just different enough from the originals to qualify for a measure royalties/participation and the push them like fricking crazy (Batman Who Laughs).
Publishers are using the multiverse to create as many gender/racial/sexually diverse variants of core characters by talent who matches the characters diversity, which isn't bad per se but it looks like Marvel and DC are in some kind of diversity arms race to show them off as quickly as possible just long enough to get some kind of media nod and some applause from Twitter. And again? Most of the stuff isn't very good but it's hailed because it's 'important' to everyone except anybody that actually buys and sells comics.
Check out Elric: the balance lost if you think multiverse stories all suck. When done right crossovers can be great. Its only capeshit multiverses that are overly complicated.
Funny how never rebooting ended up making Marvel a million times less confusing than DC.
1000% underrated post
I read silver-age Legion stories missing what we had
A finite multiverse makes no fricking sense. It was always stupid and DC are incapable of managing or keeping things straight as is. Also this book already supposedly brought back the infinite multiverse..
Convergence didn't just bring back the infinite multiverse, it changed the ending of COIE. It was such insane nonsense that didn't line up with anything that there was no choice but to ignore it. You cant change the ending of COIE because you'd butterfly effect away like 40 years of stories.
Didn't dark knight metal also do it?
Death metal did.
Hope Deathstroke has a degree of success
DC has far too many legacies
Just hope they erase the right ones
zod lands on earth instead of clark. he's beaten, but earth becomes xenophobic. lex founds the legion of justice, a group dedicated to protecting earth from otherworldly threats. each issue is the legion facing a different event threat without the help of superman, green lantern or anyone else using alien tech.
a decade ago, batman broke his no killing rule after jason died and murdered joker. he went missing shortly after, presumed dead. but in the past year, gotham's crime rate has dropped to nearly zero, and the villains of flash have started to disappear too. wally investigates, and it leads him to a centuries old cult, the league of assassins and their mysterious leader, who knows all of the secrets of the world's greatest heroes
when billy batson is summoned by the wizard shazam to become his new champion, the spell goes horribly wrong and billy is instead bound to the imprisoned powers of sabbac. no matter what the wizard tries, he's unable to free billy from his new found patrons, but billy swears that he can and will use his hellish powers for good
I want DC to end. To Be Continued was a mistake.
>new dc multiverse
I thought there was a multi-multiverse already.
>what stories do you want them to tell?
Earth-7642
>the birth of the new DC Multiverse
again?
You know how we have way too many evil Superman stories? I want optimistic, upbeat, sunny Batman.
MORE. I want a Batman whose parents are still alive and Jason Todd never died and he wears a bright costume and he actively works to rehabilitate his villains and the Joker was his first success story and Gotham is practically a utopia.
Can I just get some books set in the pre-Flashpoint DCU even if it means having to deal with Gay For Justice fallout or whatever? I just want to read the characters I'm actually familiar with and not these bastardized knockoff versions.
None/I don't care and only read comics pre-90s
>The dc universe is actually TWO universes
>scratch that now there's infinite!
>scratch that now there's not!
>scratch that now there's infinite again!
>scratch that now there's 52!
>scratch that now there infinite again!
>scratch that-
wish they'd make up their fricking mind
It's literally just
>Infinite
>One
>52
>Infinite
Not hard to follow.
JUST REBOOT ALREADY
PLEEEASE
YES
DARK CRISIS REBOOT
I DON'T CARE JUST NUKE IT FROM THE ORBIT
DESTROY EVERYTHING
>Please make it even more of a mess!
At this point, you can't physically make more of a mess. Reboot would actually be an improvement.
Everyone is Miracle Man, every character's dialogue is ai generated.
oh my god are they still doing this "batman who laughs" charade
A crossover with Bionicle. Bonus if the Toa, Matoran and everyone else from the series was more Giger-ish like their initial prototype sketches were (and which were made by a student of Giger). Full organic-tech looks.
that green lantern symbol and flash symbol lightining is superb
Did they forget that the reason they retconned the Infinite Mulitverse in the first place was because it was a convoluted mess that didn't sell?
Another terrible decision.
Wonder how this will affect the sales.
I Doubt those charts count Dogman for “some reason.”
>I Doubt
I don't.
Don’t bother with another universe ending event. Just cancel everything and start over with a new action comics and detective comics #1
I'd like to see stories that don't dwell on the fact that there is a multiverse, that don't focus on setting up for big cross-title events and keep to some internal consistency.
Who gives a shit? Superman will still be gay.
