Originally, Dr D created a Materioptikon, a device that allowed him to spy on and control the dreams of others and he used this ability to commit crimes and screw with the JLA. Eventually, he could...

Although I like superhero comics that are a little more sophisticated, I just think that elements like castrations and pedophiles don't really belong or work in the genre.

Professor Amos Fortune was a JLA villain who could alter his or others' luck.

When you think about it, a series like this would be great for exploring the DCU and would lend itself to obscure guest stars.

Unfortunately, editorial seems very wary/disinterested in exploring...

I guess, except that these guys have won Eisners and, really, "humbling them" ? Who's got times to play games like that ?

That Dan Didio is a real "C-Tease" and by C-Tease, I mean...

The art looks a little rushed and needs a lot of work and do the JSA: Liberty Files characters even appear in this book ? You'd think they would, as their name is in the title.

How stupid is this ? I knew Didio was bad at communicating with creative people, but c'mon - he must have known they were thinking more mainstream.

It's like if a Marvel editor told the creative...

It might be a trademark/copyright issue; one of those deals where, every 40 years, they have to publish a story using the name "Green Team" to avoid it going public domain.

Or, maybe it's just...

That's a really good point, but if it gathers enough interest, it might make WB think about doing something now with those properties.

On a side note, I really hate the idea of crowdfunding being...

I respectfully disagree; McDuffie even clarified in this very forum and very tactfully, that he had to write around and through, a lot of editorial interference.

No, it doesn't, but a few of the big guns will usually be on those teams anyway.

Also, during McDuffies' run, he specifically wanted the Big 7, but editorial said no.



I agree with you, but...

Yeah, I was really just spitballing some general examples, but I'm not entirely convinced about newsprint not being cheaper in the long run (although the start-up capital to get it rolling might be...

There are some things that'd be beyond my pay-grade and control (like the Superman litigation that was happening), but for the most part, I'd probably rein in editorial a little and put an emphasis...

Back when I used to read DC, I enjoyed a lot of Johns' work, but often found him to be a frustrating writer to follow in his later work, especially his tendency of leapfrogging from one title to...

That'll show him !

One of the Batman titles is very good (Snyder's I believe) and the other one is terrible, so I think that's where the confusion comes from.

DC has a few really good books (Batwoman, Dial H, Animal Man, etc.), but most of the titles are just soulless crap composed of editorially-driven storylines that the creative teams put together in an...

I don't think Bat-family readers ever really accepted BatWing as part of that subsection of the DCU; Africa is very far away from Gotham City, so the title didn't really lend itself to crossovers...

The other stuff sounds great and interesting, but her dialogue sounds terrible and outdated. Epic Fail indeed.

I liked what Nolan did with the Batman franchise, but I'm ready for something different now.

Also, is WB's backup plan for all DC properties to have Nolan "overseeing" them ?

I wonder if Sam...

I think the whole Supes - WW relationship was created and pushed was due to the then possibility of DC losing the rights to Lois (and other stuff) due to the lawsuit.

Now that that seems to be...

Sad but true.

EDIT: Except for the part about the DCnU ever having been great in the first place.

The Marvel Movie Universe, besides having an organized plan and Marvel writers as consultants, also had talented people to carry out the films and were trusted to do so.

Both WB and DC seem to be...

I think the Wildstorm characters were more interesting and relevant when they were in their own universe - they just don't mesh with the DCU.

What DC should've done, was to introduce the various...

Not if you go back to the original run, which had little to do with the DCU. Also, the majority of Moore's run didn't really involve the rest of the DCU.
