DC Comics March 2006 Solicitations

Hrm, then I read them wrong.

I know I heard someone important say that Dick would be Batman for a year after IC, I don't know if that means during 52, or literally after the One Year Later deal...

But people are thinking he could be dead.

It could very well be what shakes Bruce out of his "i hate everybody" mood.

I think death is the only thing that'd shake Bruce out of that mood. Even that might not do it. If I could see anyone being a curmudgeon in the afterlife, its Bruce.

Well, I mean, it's not like they were foreshadowing anything by having the Batsignal shining directly on the Spectre's Chest...

I missed that, seeing as I haven't read a DC comic since the Death of Superman.

Well, that's silly of you...

Mainstream DC beats 616 Marvel 9 times out of 10...

while with contemporary Vertigo and Wildstorm being what they are (aka, only 3 or four longstanding good titles), Max, Icon, and Ultimate Marvel beats out DC indefinitely.

Hence me not reading either DC or 616 Marvel. I'm an Ultimate purist, baby. I occasionally read other comics, but its about 99% Ultimate Marvel.
 
if i had a jillion dollars, i'd read DC.

bc its so interconnecting, which i love.

but that also means its expensive.

It made them a compilation of all the heroes of the earths the Anti-Monitor did not destroy.

The current Batman is a combo of the Earths 1 and 2 Bruce Waynes, as well as the batman duplicates on the other surviving worlds.

Superman hasn't been able to become a real solid hero since Kal-L (the original 1930's Supes) never merged with him.

I guarentee they merge by the end of this Crisis, allowing Supes to be a real hero (and Luthor to be a real villain, with all of the Luthors bouncing around the DCU)

Not to sound like I'm starting a fight, because I totally am not - but to imply that this is the same as if there was a totally new Captain America at the end of HoM is a little disingenuous. 3 existing versions of Batman magically combined into one being isn't really a "new" Batman.

Power Girl?! As Nightwing?!
Click to expand...
A bit of DC trivia you might not have known. Nightwing was originaly a Kryptonian superhero that Superman tol Dick Grayson about when he was trying to figure out a new name.

Dr.Strangefate said:
In Nightwing:Year One they find out that the only superhero in Kryptonian history was the Night-Wing.

Clark is the one who gives Dick the name idea.

Thats a very heavy rumor. I'm expecting 52 and the first year or so for Dick as Batman untill the next Bat-Flick comes out. Then its all bruce.

Well, Max only has one title, and Icon is largely just Powers (So-So) and Kabuki (Never read it) the only real competition is Ultimate, wich barely beats out Wildstorm on the "Characters you know changing factor" and still doesn't beat Vertigo. Especialy if any of the new books in it are any good.

But as for a new Bats, it'll be an existing character, I almost guarntee it. Just someone diffrent.
 
I have to agree with what was said earlier. With DC, if they say it's a "universe-changing event", the results of that event are usually in place for at least 10 years. With Marvel, if they say it's a "universe-changing event", things are back to normal by the next year.

This leads me to my belief that DC genuinely likes and accepts change while Marvel is all about marketing and hype.
 
That's a lot of comics Baxter. How many Image, Dark Horse and Marvel are you getting on top of that?!

And yes, you should get Ex Machina in singles, or download it like I do. :D

yo, i am alllllllll about the new robin costume. i have been thinking that the 2nd robin costume from the cartoon was perfect, and this costume is essentially that, but with pointy gloves and cape. it's awesome. it makes so much more sense, robins dont have any green in them!
Click to expand...


actually robin was based off of robin hood as played by errol flynn or some other actor. what with the tunic, and the pointy, "natural" boots, and the kinda grassy... underpants... yeah it was more off robin hood. it has since evolved in people's perceptions to have been a robin. Don't get me wrong, I like the look. I just wish they'd give him a hood or something...

The original Crisis was the original "Universe-Altering Event". It sort of set the precedent for all the big "events" that Marvel and DC are always coming out with.

Secret Wars?

I'm not saying it was as good...

Yeah, I spend about $150 to $180 a month. I really need something else to funnel all this time and money into.

I don't think of Secret Wars as a "universe altering event". It was one of the first official events, but it wasn't nearly as big as Crisis. They literally rewrote the history of the DC Universe.
