True. They spent too much time setting that up to rile the emotions, and not as much on Joker and his psycho antics. Did like how it introducted Oracle though. My first "on screen" debut of that character. Unsure if they did it elsewhere or before (and outside of The Arkham Knight video game) |

I thinking they have to be going the Batman Beyond route. DC head Hamada said the Pattinson films are their own universe.

The flash point idea is cool. Keeping 2 active Batman film timelines seems like a dumb idea.

part of me is going to be really, really happy to see Death Metal/The Crisis stuff finally end and goodbye to the Batman Who Laughs and him being EVERYWHERE for like 3 years straight...and the other part of me dreads Bendis being the big creative mind for DC starting in March after Future State...

Read Future State: The Next Batman, Future State: Superman and Future State: Wonder Woman. Thoughts on each:
FS: Batman - I actually liked this and I didn't expect to. It's an interesting take on Bats and Gotham's future. FS: Superman - Eh, this one is a little too grimdark for Supes. The Bat book was more about hope and the Supes book was more depressing and darker. Jonathan Kent not coming across real great. FS: Wonder Woman - Loved it. By far my favorite of the three. I can see why Yara Flor will be sticking around post-Future State. A whole lot of fun and crazy stuff to explore with Brazilian mythology and she's a hot-headed loose cannon. |

The CW passes on the "Green Arrow and The Canaries" spin-off.
The pilot episode they worked in was pretty awkward and weird anyways... so kinda glad to just let the Arrow franchise "end". |

Read the new Future State titles for this week, of them all I would recommend:
Superman/Wonder Woman - Yara Flor continues to be a very interesting new character and the Brazilian mythology continues to be fascinatingly bonkers Dark Detective - The Bruce Wayne story had gorgeous art but the real gem was the back-up story of Grifter in Gotham. Grifter, like Yara Flor, could prove to be a big character in 2021. |

New season of Batwoman has started.... so I finally went and watched the last couple episodes of the first season that I never finished. Not a great show, and I wonder what the point of it even is without the "family drama" of Kate Kane and her dad/sister. Should have just said "F it" and recast instead of making a new character.
Gonna watch the season premiere now though I guess. |

I got burned so hard with the Ric Grayson horseshit, I'm afraid to go back. But I've decided to dive back into Nightwing. A couple of the storylines before Ric were pretty fantastic (The Judge) so hopefully it rebounds nicely. Wish me luck.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of those storylines at all in fiction
They always end with the person getting their memory back and 99.99% of the time anything that happened during the period they were amnesiac doesn't matter and is a big waste of time. |

It made it way worse that Nightwing Rebirth was a pretty solid book before it happened. It suffered from some familiar Nightwing tropes (feeling second best, new love interest that eventually just disappears from the book) but for the most part it was making strides. Raptor is a sic villain that's unique to Nightwing, The Judge storyline was better than any NW storyline in like a decade, and the court of owls becoming Nightwing centric villains made sense to me. Then Dick is shot in the head by a Batman B-Villain in a book that isn't even his, which spawns a year of absolute dogshit

Basically I got DC Infonite again and am going to catch up on everything I've missed. I think I'm on Flash Rebirth #72. Things were getting really convoluted with the Strength/Sage/Still/Speed forces when I left off but the book for the most part is pretty fantastic.

Haven't read anything in quite some time.... did read a bit of the Ric Grayson stuff..... dude has had a rough few years of it....
Gets "killed" and has to pretend to be dead while being a superspy (which was actually pretty great), then gets to come back to life for awhile... before being shot in the head and losing all his memories |

The CW renews Batwoman, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow for another season.
Impressed at Legends of Tomorrow! Every season I am convinced is the last, but S6 hasn't even started and now they've got a 7th one already confirmed! |

Would rather have that Wonder Girl series than a Naomi series, and I say that with not knowing anything about that Wonder Girl or reading her Future State stuff

I have read Yara Flor's Future State stuff and I dig her character a lot so far. Brazilian mythology seems fun and different than the Norse/Greek stuff we usually get from Marvel/DC.
Her character is very 'hot-headed' too. |

In general I have not invested much interest in Future State though since it won't mean anything really in a month.

Apparently Wonder Woman will be in Asgard when Future State ends and the 'Infinite Frontier' era of DC begins in a month...May solicitations were just released and have her interacting with the DC version of THOR (kind of curious what he will be like tbh)

A bunch of really rich fans are banding together to put in like 25 million each to *try* and buy DC comics (just the comic publishing aspect, all merchandise and IP would still be separate and belong to AT&T)

Just finished Infinite Frontier...DC fixing 'stuff' this time has had an unintended consequence....
SPOILER: show Also I'm probably going to regret this in the future via Bendis being Bendis, but I liked the Justice League tease in Infinite Frontier... SPOILER: show Other big happenings in Infinite Frontier... SPOILER: show |

K, I guess that's good at least that his kids still exist.... raw deal about his wife, but I guess she isn't really important except to JSA nerds/history buffs like me.... most people prob didn't even know her name/story....
We shall see how they handle it from here.... hate it when they suddenly make someone's "gayness" be the "defining" part of their character/stories.... |
