DC New 52 - Thunderdome Version!

[Reginleif]

Not really that much of an upset, from what I've heard not many people actually liked it. Unlike DK, which is freakin' awesome.

Anyways, my picks:

Green Lantern vs Birds of Prey--I don't read GL, but even if I did I'd still probably choose BoP because I really like the book.

Teen Titans vs Red Hood and the Outlaws--I'm reading TT, not sure for how long, though.

Green Lantern:New Guardians vs Voodoo--Like above, except I'm definitely dropping when the Blue Beetle corssover comes around

Detective Comics vs Green Arrow--I guess I might choose GA because I hear its getting better, never read either of these, though

Mine

Green Lantern vs Birds of Prey - 2/1, it will probably be GL, two good titles for the first time competing though

Teen Titans vs Red Hood and the Outlaws - 5/1, they are both not good, but TT sells more

Green Lantern:New Guardians vs Voodoo - 3/1, really difficult, im biased though, Voodoo

Detective Comics vs Green Arrow - 7/1, Batcult

Well, when a qualifier beats the top seed in the first round, it's an upset in my book.

What's with the numbers? Are you making fake statistics?

[MajorHoy]

I can do that. Would you prefer updated as the tourney progresses or just a final one when its all said and done?

...also, I may need some help on deciphering those play-in matchups.

I'm assuming that we'd progress from this:
1 Justice League vs Demon Knights
16 Nightwing vs Green Lantern Corps
9 Aquaman vs Justice League Dark
8 The Flash vs Justice League International

5 Green Lantern vs Birds of Prey
12 Teen Titans vs Red Hood & the Outlaws
13 GL: New Guardians vs Voodoo
4 Detective Comics vs Green Arrow

3 Action Comics vs Stormwatch
14 Batwoman vs Red Lanterns
11 Wonder Woman vs Supergirl
6 Batman:Dark Knight vs Suicide Squad

7 Superman vs Superboy
10 Batman & Robin vs Animal Man
15 Batgirl vs Swamp Thing
2 Batman vs Batwing

to this:
1 Demon Knights vs. 16 Nightwing
9 Aquaman vs. 8 The Flash

winner of 5 Green Lantern vs Birds of Prey faces winner of 12 Teen Titans vs Red Hood & the Outlaws
winner of 13 GL: New Guardians vs Voodoo faces winner of 4 Detective Comics vs Green Arrow

winner of 3 Action Comics vs Stormwatch faces winner of 14 Batwoman vs Red Lanterns
winner of 11 Wonder Woman vs Supergirl faces winner of 6 Batman:Dark Knight vs Suicide Squad

winner of 7 Superman vs Superboy faces winner of 10 Batman & Robin vs Animal Man
winner of 15 Batgirl vs Swamp Thing faces winner of 2 Batman vs Batwing


and then to
winner of 1 Demon Knights vs. 16 Nightwing faces off against winner of 9 Aquaman vs. 8 The Flash

winner of 5 / 12 faces winner of 13 / 4



winner of 3 / 14 faces winner of 11 / 6

winner of 7 / 10 faces winner of 15 / 2

and so fourth.

ehh, kinda sorta

I was just thinking of like this

Title A v Title B
Title C v Title D
Title E v Title F
Title G v Title H

Title A v Title D
Title F v Title G

Title D v Title F

I could add the seeds in parentheses for easier tracking, but they kind of take away from the slickness of the listings, but anyway... But speaking of seedings, I'd need some help deciphering all the darn seeds and play-in matches and such...

wait, i see... that listing is the help w/ the seeds! lol... sweet. Ok, so progressive tracking or just wait til its all done?

[paulski]

Considering the entire first round will only take 8 days total, Doc, I'm happy to update the draw in a week's time when we'll be down to the last 16 books, so it might all make a bit more sense then. But yeah, Hoy's post above covers things pretty well.

[marvell2100]

Fixed.

[GoldStarz]

Okay, here's to hoping I'm doing this right.
I vote:
Birds of Prey
Justice Leauge
Batman

You're not, each week there are about four threads. JL is gone, and Batman isn't up yet but, BoP is here: http://forums.comicbookresources.com...-Birds-of-Prey

[Jake Fury]

5 Green Lantern vs Birds of Prey
12 Teen Titans vs Red Hood & the Outlaws
13 GL: New Guardians vs Voodoo
4 Detective Comics vs Green Arrow

Hope I'm voting on the correct matchups...

[paulski]

Dagnabbit! Only one of the four books I voted for won, and that winner was a surprise.

(I would say "You folks don't know good books when you see them", but I gotta admit that most of those titles I really don't care all that much about. )

[paulski]

They were actually 4 really good contests, certainly much closer than most of those going on at the moment (DK vs SS seems the only one that might go either way).

The really interesting part is, one of those four books is a semi-finalist! And I don't think you can necessarily rule any of the four out either, as a lot will depend on how particular books match up against each other for readers.
