Ae we eventually finally going to get an answer as to how much if any of the time Babs spent in the chair was Oracle-y? Surely not!

Looks like the biggest news plot-wise out of these panels is the future of the Justice League. We definitively know Shazam (Billy Batson) is joining the team, and that some members will be leaving, probably as soon as issue 12.
Looking forward to the Billy & Vic bromance, that sounds like fun.

Editorially-driven comics can be good:
-Dick Giordano
-Shelly Meyer
-Mort Weisinger
-Julie Schwartz
-Stan Lee (although he was writing the books too, so unified vision was a given)
The problem here appears to be that DC doesn't have that one person with a vision and a dominating personality to take charge.
Didio, by all appearances, seems to love comics but that doesn't make him (or Lee or Johns or Harras) right to run the show.

Wow. i'm seriously considering dropping Batgirl. I have no interest in whatever the Joker's got planned for barbara. I'm also curious as to who bunker's boyfriend is, but NOT thrilled he's getting a tatoo. honestly, why do so many people think this is actually a cool fashion accessory?

Hal is leaving and my guess is Aquaman is leaving; he has bigger fish to fry. He'll probably go back to Atlantis or something once its found. Originally Posted by El Sombrero

Its a fad that'll die in the next ten years or so. Anything rebellius and frowned upon eventually become popular because people love being rebellius. No one even looks at tattoos like that anymore. Itll go out soon enough though and people will be upset they ruined their bodies. I'm not one to talk though since I have considered getting one. Originally Posted by protege

I've never liked the joker, and never understood the appeal of a character who has no hope of redemption, and by all rights should've been put to death by now. It's like writers want to see how depraved they can make the character, like how can we top what he did last time? i have the same problem with Norman Osborn and how he continually screwed with peter parkers' life just to teach him some lesson, or prof. Zoom. Homicidal nutjobs don't interest me.

Conceptually he is interesting, but in terms of actual stories, you're absolutely right. Originally Posted by protege

Joker's gonna be popping up in a bunch of the Bat books, if not all. Its part of the next tie-in story going on in Batman.

I realize my romance with Geoff Johns' writing is over. I loved Green Lantern: Rebirth and JSA, but have suffered through enough torturous blocks of exposition in Blackest Night, Brightest Day, Flashpoint and now JLA to understand that he is simply not a very good writer.
When Grant Morrison revamped the JLA years and years ago, he brought a spark and life to the book along with an immense amount of creative genius. It reminded us all just how good superhero comics could really be. But this "New 52 Version" gives us next to nothing to love about the characters or the team or anything really.

It's interesting you say that because I've read through a lot of Johns' work lately, and I thought his early Green Lantern work and Justice Society of America (the 2006 volume, I never read the "JSA" volume) were bad compared to what he's doing now. I think his New 52 stuff is probably his best work as a writer. It's less heavy-handed and the characterization feels more natural, plus it's less violent and more fun.
