OFFICIAL Red Room, Black Room and The Circus Discussion Thread

[shingi70]

Maybe a mod should change the title to Argus speculation.yeah Argus seems to be a combination of Planetary/S.H.I.E.L.D

Were going to learn more about the black room in July when the JLD team goes there.

The circus is stormwatch.

The Black Room was actually first introduced in Justice League #7. That's where Graves stole the Orb of Ra from. Wonder if Element Woman will replace Metamorphose or will be the 2nd person transformed by the orb.

good point forgot about this

[Froggy]

Hmmmmmmm. Etrigan's armor is in the Black Room. Where's Etrigan?
Is it just me or is Argus more a play on Planetary than Shield?

planetary definitely

Etrigan has to be in the circus or back in hell

no wait he's hiding as Jason Blood?

[Outside_85]

Circus is probably a backdoor into DC's offices.

Stormwatch seems to be so secretive no one but its members and their puppeteers know they even exist, so I suppose that they are the Circus is ruled out.

I'm thinking the Circus is where intelligences are stored; artificial or organic, whatever.

The two rooms are items. The circus is individuals.

Agreed. A circus is where animals and people (freaks of nature) are kept in cages.

It will be very, very, very interesting to see who ARGUS has locked up in The Circus.

Metamorphose appeared in JLI #1 ( on screen)

Issue 1 has so many errors I think his inclusion could be an editorial oversight. In JLI #1 Captain Atom is drawn like his pre-Flashpoint self with a little red flame hair added on. Green Arrow is mentioned as having JL contacts. Blue Beetle is considered yet in his book he's not even recognized as a hero yet.

Justice League establishes that JLI was a side project by Argus so the people behind may not have all that info. Its also showed that Green Arrow followed the league around ans like Martian Manhunter its not hard to make that mistake.

I am sure this isn't where DC is going with this, but it almost seems like the reboot is an incredibly meta, self-referential thing where 'they' put all those artifacts of the pre-New 52 universe in rooms and slowly begin unpacking them. The 'they' in this situation being both the actual, physical writers, and those organizations like ARGUS.

so for those reading JLD what happened in July?

Steve Trevor tells his team to secure the other rooms, I took that to mean that there are rooms other than the ones mentioned. Or is that just me.

not what I got from the issue but I will make a note to go back and reread it

[Retro315]

I imagine "The Circus" consists of the more classic absurd super-villain costumes and weapons, which are quite garish and colorful, but we won't know until we know.

[Dark_Tzitzimine]

As a mexican archeologist I found amusing the presence of Coatlicue's effigy in the Black Room XD
Anyone recognize another historical artifact?

[Jabare]

scans of the red room:








So apparently in JLD Constantine has some notes about the Red Room? I find this a little odd. I thought Constantine only focussed on magic and supernatural phenomena. Isn't the Red Room away from this focus, shouldn't he be focussing on the black room? Or is Constantine more like the Question now and he just explores everything?

Off-topic- where is the Quesiton by the way?



so anymore news on the Black Room and the Circus in the new 52?

no what was the other?

[CagedLeo730]

The Circus has been mentioned in regards to JLA's Vibe.

[Robotman4]

So much cool stuff in the Black Room. The Haunted Tank, Etrigan's armor, etc. Constantine told Zee that her father's hat was one of the mystical artifacts in the Black Room. I hope she eventually gets it.

Great story potential for Cyborg in the Red Room.

The Circus may deal with other dimensions. Boom Tube, The Bleed, and other things that can access the Multiverse.
