It was the most obvious thing in the world, it was also very cleverly done. It solves the problem perfectly and in the internal logic of the story. I can't see how anyone could possibly have been confused with a solution that simple. I'm more shocked that none of us saw it coming.

Wonder Woman Picks Batman Over Superman (okay... Susan Eisenberg talks about being the voice of WW with IGN)
Just... just let me have this one for tonight, before tomorrow brings with it a soul-crushing reality.
You can't see it, but I am grinning like an idiot right now. A great big idiot.

+passes on voice roles that call for Diana to be murderous, excessively violent and/or evil
+all joking aside, seems genuinely bothered by the SMWW status quo in the New52
+uses the 'Moonlighting' analogy when describing the potential of a BMWW dynamic

Yeah, I caught this the other day. It was an interesting interview. It's crazy that she's been doing the voice for that long.
Seriously.
Was half-expecting another battle in the mind.
I don't understand how people couldn't "figure it out".

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
90% of the online bitching about Arena after the series actually started came from a literal handful of people.
I know I'm not the only person here who loved The Black Mirror so if anyone fancies buying one of these:
24x36 inch prints, keep an eye on Jock's online store, because he's selling them for only 48 hours and I imagine they'll be gone pretty quick. I think I need that purple one.
Here's some info about the sale from CBR.

I'd like both a SM/WW and BM/WW where it's just her going on adventures with them and no romance.
I don't understand why she needed to be fucking Supes for there to be a team up book. Seems to me like teaming up Superman and Wonder Woman, two of your company's most popular characters, is something you'd just do. Just because, y'know...money.
Your first mistake was expecting rational thinking from dc
Trinity War kinda did it.
Here's what I meant, each character was a variant cover and they all linked together like so:

I read that as Transformers: Witchblade #1 and that conjured something entirely else to mind.

I think Francesco Francavilla shoulda got an Esnier Award Nom for Best Cover Artist... he does so many and IMO there'll all pretty great.

I don't know about all this relationship talk, but I will say this: I think it's about time for 80s curly haired Wonder Woman to return. None of this straight haired bullshit.
Just finished Batman and Wonder Woman, I really dug it and I really like Gleasons Wonder Woman. Straight hair and everything.
Pissed off Bruce is the best Bruce.
DC, do the right thing and announce a Batman and Wonder Woman book. Give the fans what they want. Fuck this Superman bullshit.

Nah son. Wonder Woman / Booster Gold: The Greatest Romance You've Never Heard Of.
How amazing were Gleasons' 'roidazons, Messi? The previews were something else.

The goddamn Bruce.
That one Amazon is truly redicilous. Diana looks good most of the time. There were some Wonder Woman panels I will use as an avatar. Gleason has a style and all of his characters are affected by it. Every character looks like a grown up Damien. Except roidazon herself. The lips on her too, no idea how that made it into the book.
Oh and the last page or two of the book were quite touching.

I'm shocked Harley Quinn wasn't your first read Messi.
I don't read Harley Quinn on the bus. Gotta wait until I get home and get my lotion ready.
I like to read it at home in comfort. Generally will read it last. End with a bang

I haven't read Hellblazer, but who wouldn't recommend Sandman or Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing? Unless we somehow missed them as a junior, I guess.

I have no idea what the source material is but that Star Mage #1 looks kinda cool? And anytime you're referencing The Last Starfighter I'm kinda on board...?

Dug the first issue of Sinestro, I feel like Bunn did his research and has a good grasp on the character. I'm in for the first arc if nothing else.
Kinda weird to see references to FE being over when the last issue is still a month away... Great job keeping Finch on schedule DC!

Just when you thought Tim was out of the ring slingin' game they find a way to bring him back in.

Of all of the possible candidates for a return, Damian's makes the most sense, being the grandchild of Ras and the connection to the Lazarus pits.
pretty sure the Omega stands for something that unMorrissons Damian, that and the Secret Origins book point to DC looking forward at undoing Morrison's work and editorial eager to Nu52ify the poor kid.
Yes, because clearly the fact Batman Inc. ended on two open graves was Morrison saying that those characters were done forever never to be touched by anyone else ever.
Because, clearly, the grandkid of the guy whose deal is that HE NEVER EVER REALLY DIES EVER was going to stay dead forever.
never dying skips 2 generations.
calm down.
Morrison did kill him.
Inc. points to no particular direction as to why the bodies disappeared, and Talia/Rha/Damian relationship is so fucked up you can wonder what the guy WHO NEVER EVER REALLY DIES EVER would want to do with them when he should know the first things either his daughter or grandson would do when back to life is try and kill him.
also fuck DC for not killing Batman in Batman RIP and not killing Damian in Death of the Family. fuck them.
EDIT : et voilà, Robin Rises : Omega One shot official

Darkseid, Rha's Al Gul, Batman and the return of a Robin (and confirmation death affects comics characters even tho they don't really die...)

Ras always has a plan. His grandchild will eventually return to the fold.
they conveniently add Darkseid to the mix, see link above your post. dat Omega.
Kubert on Robin Rises...
clearly death + Darkseid will have an impact on the character. Morrison's Damian is gone.

He needs to stay dead despite wishes to the contrary. The character served his purpose in the story he was created for, and that story is over.
So of course DC is going to bring him back.
