New Gen OTD

Birds hasn't been too bad, same with Arrow. Most of the Bat titles are solid, though I'm thinking of dropping Batwoman and Catwoman, neither of those titles has actually impressed me alot, they've been interesting but thats it and I want more than interesting. Batman, Batman: Dark Knight, Batman and Robin, Nightwing, and Batgirl have all impressed me as far as stories go. Birds of Prey, Batwing, and Red Hood and the Outlaws I'm still in the air about.

The other titles- JL and JL Dark are definatly books to pick up. JLI, hit and miss thouth I think they're canceling that title soon. Don't read any of the Superman titles or WonderWoman, they just don't interest me. GL has me on edge wondering what this Third Army the guardians keep mentioning is and everything going on in GLC, GLNG and RL are keeping me interested. Green Arrow is entertaining same with Savage Hawkman, Flash and Teen Titans. Haven't gotten around to reading Ravagers yet but it looks good, we'll see if I keep picking it up. Earth 2 started off with a bang and so far has not disappointed. World's Finest is a book I'm giving a shot but not sure if I'll keep picking up.

Overall though I'm not impressed with the way DC went about doing this New 52. To many inconsistancies in continuity. Like Red Robin (tim drake), there is rumors that the writer of Teen Titans will reveal that he was never Batman's partner which is in direct contradiction to an early issue in Batman where it has Bruce, Dick, Tim and Damien all getting ready to head out to some event and mentions him as a former Robin along with Dick and his inclusion in the War of the Robins arc in Batman and Robin where Damien warns him and all the other former Robins (Dick and Jason) he'll be coming for them. There are other things too that don't really make sense but I'm hoping all of this will be cleared up with the 0 issues next month (which means I might have to by all of them instead of just the 0's of the titles I pick up).

I've read and solidly am not a fan of Red Hood and the Outlaws. But I've been recommended all of these titles. I took some looks into them. I'm just not interested in picking them up. I'm still reading a lot of older comics and newer ones generally fail to hold my attention as of late.

yeah, can't beat the classics. Still trying to collect some of the previous titles like Outlaws, JLA, and JSA and have a stack of trades that I still haven't gotten around to reading.

I've read a few newer titles and reviewed them and it's funny how many times I find myself using the word "Pointless" in a lot of reviews of some newer comics. I have liked a couple though. I tend to like most out of continuity runs like Superman/Batman.

newer or older Supes and Bat? The Night of Owls arc in Batman was pretty good. Gave me some ideas about bringing Court of Owls into our DCU.

Both really. I like the Superman/Batman Super-Girl arc for example.

I might read the new Justice League of America title coming out next year. Cat-Woman, Martian Manhunter, Hawkman, Star-Girl? I'm game. I was thinking of using Star-Girl for a bit as a Titan but I think I'll just save that for later.

So the idea I had in mind is basically like how Brainiac occasionally takes control or mutual control of someone else's body. I basically thought 'Well what if he did that but to like WAVES of people? Like people throughout the country. It could make him a bit of a more lasting threat even after he's more immediately defeated because his presence could just be rebooted into someone else much later (I'm going by the robot version of Brainiac like from the DC Animated Universe. That's the one I'm more familiar with so I can't say if that'd work here or not)

Sure, let's go with that.

Want me to edit the unexplainable 'freeing Hush' thing?

Nope, it's fine.

Not sure what to do with Derek anymore. I think I want to break him and remold him again, give him an arc where he disappears from the grid completely and returns rejuvinated.

Kewl.

This experience is just gonna remind him of past experiences, and I want to see if I can do something about it. Maybe he'll go straight for the League of Shadows.

we keep mentioning the League of Shadows but Delilah is the head of the League of Assassins, never called the LoS or if I did it was a slip. But it could be a part of the LoA or a group that split from them

Sorry. Thought I saw it as League of Shadows in there somewhere and just assumed Delilah might have deviated from the actual "Path of the Demon" thing that R'as and Talia abide by.

Ohhh, yeah, my fault there, too.

Either way, I'm having Derek travelling to meet Delilah, Pryde, if you're okay with that.

yeah, i'm fine with that.

Just had a thought for a mini-arc when the Brainiac thing hits full throttle to have the younger heroes rescue a bunch of the adult ones being controlled by the alien A.I. Could lead to the creation of the Titans-esque thing later. Which right now is just Black Bat, Nightlight, and Super-Girl, maybe Mischief. I may also make a Star-Girl character but for the League, not the Titans.

Works with me.

Toxin, we're underway with a major plot currently that is Justice League related which is why we haven't been quick on replying, and I guess I wonder where you're going to take this thing you've got going right now. If you want, we can keep you up to date on what's going on inside the new setting we've established.

if you have read Nightfall batman then it will be very familar Bane is staying in the shadows for now,and im not really sure where to fit Bane in atm so he is just trying to work out who Batman is

I can give a full rundown of pretty much everything but it'll take me a minute to type up.

cool just thought Bane could be hired by one of the bad guys as he is a merc
