52 Series Discussion (spoilers!)

I took a manic glee in learning that Skeets' armor was built out of Waverider.

I look forward to the final battle between Rip Hunter and Skeets...

MY THEORY:

- The Nuclear explosion sends a timewave that replaces Michael Carter (old Booster) with Daniel Carter at the moment of his death.... The timewave is what ages him into death, not the Bomb.

- Michael Carter pretends to be Rip Hunter to lure Skeets to his final doom.

- Carter then realizes that he is, in fact, THE Rip Hunter.

*explodes*
 
Maybe. Who knows if that croc (or alligator) isn't trying to get to Khandaq and do some ****? He looks like one of those animal men from Intergang...

If he wants to get to Khandaq, he can ride a plane. Somehow I doubt Intergang's diabolical scheme against the Black Marvel Family is to give them an endearing sidekick. The 52 team is obviously trying hard to make the Black Marvels parallel the Marvel family as much as possible. This Sobek dude being their version of Tawny makes sense.

Also, I'm loving the hell out of the Question/Renee relationship. It may be the most natural and realistic friendship I've seen in a comic book before.

Agreed, actually there isn't one story from 52 I'm not enjoying. Steel's story is weak this month, but it looks like it will kick major *** in the end.

The cool thing is, if you don't like one story, it's bound to be tied closely to another story that's cool as hell. At ths point I don't really care about Steel and Natasha's personal story, but I'm digging the hell out of the Infinity, Inc. plot. Plus, Steel's teaming up with Beast Boy. Any excuse for more Beast Boy is alright by me.

The only plot I'm really not that impressed with is the space story. Even with Lobo and Animal Man, it seems a little weak.

Bravo my friend, bravo
 
"I'm supposed to be DEAD?" was one of the things on Rip Hunter's chalkboard, I think this also implies the connection between Michael Carter (Booster Gold) and Rip Hunter.
 
"The Questions.... You can't be here.... The Questions haven't been answered!"

That's so awesome....
 
The Head was a Green Lantern...THAT was awesome.

That was sick, dude. Seriously sick. It seems like just when I'm getting bored with a story, they throw in an amazing curve ball.

Also, did anyone else notice that Renee seemed to have some sort of tribal-looking tattoo on her forehead in that last panel she's in?

Either way, I think the Question/Renee plot's going to be wrapping up soon. Looks like they've almost foiled Mannheim.
 
I think its not so much that the plots will wrap up soon, as it is that they'll start interconnecting. Mannheim will be defeated in gotham, but then he'll still be with Egg Fu on Oolong Island... Both, having been connected with Darkseid before, are undoubtedly still working for him. Which means Magnus' plot will connect with the Renee Montoya/Question arc, which has already connected with the Black Adam arc, which will now get Checkmate up and running after this botched suicide squad attack that's been hinted at for months...

Its all coming together in the second half. I'm excited.

The Red Tornado plot is killing me. I want to see more of him and they just give these small little panels of him. I'm also looking forward to seeing where the space journey is going. I think my favorite is Ralph Dibny.
 
I think that the Daughter of Cain that Boss Manaheim is supposed to kill is going to be Cassandra Cain, and not Kate Kane (Batwoman), as Renee Montoya seems to believe. I think she'll get horribly wounded and then put into a Lazarus pit, driving her insane, as that is the side affect to the healing magical powers of the pits. That would just be the most logical way for her to have this massive change of heart as seen in Robin and soon in Teen Titans, and as she eventually would regain her sanity, she'd have to face the horror of having become what she'd always feared she would become...

Its just that when it says the Daughter of Cain, and she has a bat on her chest, doesn't that just basically scream Cassandra?

Renee really just jumped to conclusions, because she clearly still has feelings for Kate... And anyways, the prophecy wasn't fulfilled, and I think it is going to be, strengthening Darkseid (or The Dark Side, as he's going by these days).
 
Hm. At first I was skeptical about your theory, Doc, but then this popped up on Newsarama.

MS: Batwoman's next appearance is in a couple short weeks, in issue 30, where she meets one of the other members of the Bat clan. Which one? Here' s a hint: he wears a mask. Let the guessing begin.

Hum. They said "HE", but who knows, right?

Edit: Also, the cover to issue 30 is so sick.
