So, now apparently in The New 52, Tim Drake was never Robin, but always Red Robin. Pretty sure there have been references to him being Robin though.

Fuck that. Tim Drake was hands-down the best Robin, and they're completely taking that away from him?
Between this and them removing Wally West, yeah, fuck Dan Didio and the New 52. |

At least I got my Timmy in Young Justice.
Take that away from me Didio and there will be words. |

Wonder how the timeline of that works now. Jason Todd gets beaten to death then Damien appears?
It kind of makes sense in a way, very hard to fit so many Robins into as short a period as the current books seem to be set from the "beginning". Otherwise pretty stupid. |

Like Little League, Young Justice is doing a service for DC. Hell, all of their movie/cartoon stuff is doing a service. Why? Because that DCnU shit hasn't gone mainstream yet. Man of Steel may be the start, though I believe a lot of that was decided before the big reboot (no trunks, edgier tone).
Once the DCnU starts bleeding into the 'toons and movies, it will be the end of all things. Good thing most mainstream media tend to be 5, up to 10 years behind what's going on in the comics. |

But in the latest issue of Batman & Robin, it mentions that Drake was a former Robin.

Dunno. This info about him not being Robin came from the writer of Teen Titans at some Q&A panel at Comic-Con or something. So probably to be taken with a grain of salt.

This doesn't have to do with DC Comics but...
Just read the first five issues of Brian K. Vaughan's new series "Saga". Incredibly messed up stuff, but I'm loving it. |

Yyyyeahhh Superman. Really hoping it doesn't suck. I know that the costume sucks, but if the movie is good enough, I might be able to look past that.

I'm sold. Between that and the leaked footage I saw out of Comic-Con, sign me up.
Then again, as a fanatical Superman fan, I was already gonna see it anyway. Now though, I'm legitimately excited for it rather than just obligated. |

No Justice League hinges on weather or not DC/Time Warner realizes that to make a good team-up movie, you have to establish the other stars

You establish the others stars with good movies. And just as he is fictionally, Superman is financially the key here.

So, um......yeah. Also, I should point out that at the MoS panel at Comic-Con, Snyder pretty much said that he's not interested in doing a Justice League movie. And I'm perfectly fine with that-- WB and DC should be more concerned with making the Superman franchise and anything else they're doing as good as they can possibly be on their own feet, instead of just trying to copy Marvel. |

I wouldn't call it copying Marvel, any more than Avengers was copying the Justice Society. It's a natural progression of a superhero movie-verse, that it's larger than each hero thinks upon their origin.

Looking at their plans for the doomed JL movie they attempted, GL Jon Stewart seems like a good guess.

So...been thinking of investing in a monthly comic book read, something I have never done. Is the New 52 Batman line worth it? Im a huge Bats fan, but if theyre still running with the whole RIP, battle for the cowl stuff, no thanks. Can someone give me some in depth advice?

They just finished up a crossover with all the titles called "Night of the Owls" so now would probably be a good time to jump on. They aren't running with anything like RIP or any of that everything seems to be pretty much the status quo since the new 52 started. It's been a pretty good book, nothing groundbreaking but still good.

Lobo creator and comic and animation writer Roger Slifer was moved to Barlow Respiratory Hospital, a long term acute care hospital, last Friday, according to a Facebook post by his cousin Emma Slifer. Barlowe is expert in weaning patients off ventilators; Slifer has been on a ventilator since the hit and run accident that critically injured him in June (see "Lobo Creator in Critical Condition"). He remains in a coma, although seizures that had plagued him until recently have abated, according to the post. Some other improvements have also been noted.
Police are searching for the hit and run driver, and artist Tone Rodriguez has created a drawing of Lobo to assist in the search and in helping Slifer cover his expenses, which is now being auctioned on eBay by Hero Initiative. |

LGonna subscribe to atleast one monthley today. Read Batman and Robin volume 1 the other day, and I like Bruce and Damian's dynamic, so I may run with that AND the singular Batman title that have. The deals arent bad, $35 up front at most for 12 issues at 40 pages per. Excitement

Batman and Robin volume 1 was Dick Grayson and Damian though.
I have found that Bruce and Damian don't seem to have as much chemistry. Not as interested in Damian as before. I am pretty behind on Batman and Robin, though, so it could maybe have gotten better. |

The volune I read was labled New 52 and was Bruce and Damian. I liked it alot. It focuses on Bruce learning how to be a dad rather than a leader/boss. Damian being a difficult, blunt,sarcastic, unholy killing machine is cool. I like him thus far.

Well, just got done subscribing to the monthly "Batman" title. 12 issues, $30. Pretty excited. If I get last month's issue, I start off with the "Night of Owls" epilogue and intro into the new storyline. If not, I believe I get the Joker's return. I can pick up a copy of July's issue if need be. I am admittedly amped right now.
