DC Universe Rebirth Begins This May

Said it once, and I'll say it again. There are more Bat characters than normal citizens in Gotham at this point.

And that's how Batman beats crime in Gotham, by deputizing the ENTIRE CITY, citizen by citizen.

Give me a Batgirls book(Barbara, Steph, Cass and maybe Harper)

Fix god awful Selfie Barbara

Fix Dick Grayson and Tim Drake

Put Earth 2 Helena Wayne back on the main Earth

Wait.

Wait.

Wait.

Wait.
Waiiiiiiit.

WHAT.
 
As someone who has actually actively been reading the books and didn't come in just to post about how bitter I am about an event that happened 5 years ago, I'm excited to see what they have in store one way or the other.

See I feel the opposite- I like the shakeups that DC made in the past year and this just feels like they are going to bury that stuff and go back to a safer format. I'm not optimistic.

"Geoff Johns Desert Island Discs" seems more fitting to me.

What's going on with Master Race is it good or bad? totally forgot it was a thing until talk of 40 different Bat books dredged it's existence for the depths of my mind.

Cool; I tried to get back into superhero books with New 52 but I hated everything I read. All of my favorite characters were either gone, weird alternate versions of their old selves, or just uninteresting after big changes.

P.S.: bring back Hellblazer.
 
Ain't nothing wrong with Barbara or Dick.
Half of Dick's great history is gone, he was never even a Titan in the new 52.

Noob Barbara doesn't do anything for me, her as Oracle or even New52 Ver1 Barbara was a much better character.
Steph can become Selfie Batgirl if they want to keep a batbook like that.

Batgirl is fine. Dick Grayson has one of the best DC books. Huntress is better off on her own. Manhunter is doing better flying solo, where he gets to clown the League with impunity.

The comics, they be changin'. You have to let things evolve, bro.

I didn't know Cyborg even had friends let alone a best friend. Always seemed like that one guy you met at a party who suddenly introduced himself to your friends circle and you could never get rim of him. Kinda like the male Kitty Pryde.

I never got Huntress, she seems like the kid the Batfmaily let hang around because her mom bribed them with candy.
 

Parallax

best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
This is definitely true. Since Convergence they've been putting out SO MUCH really great stuff that... apparently, nobody reads :/

i wonder why they arent putting out commercials like they did when nu52 started

Man what happen to fun little crossovers like that? Now everything has to be supers serious and maximum stakes

thats a good question

It'll be a soft reboot for sure.

Still pisses me off that DC doesn't have a back issue service like Marvel Unlimited. They're losing out on a lot of potential subs and fans.

I didn't say undo "Grayson" just restore his history and Dick is fine,
Tim on the other hand needs a lot of work.

There's been a (very, very, very) little speculation that such a service is potentially tied into this, since Jim Lee is one of the big digital proponents at DC and he's the first one to post anything about this, but it's basically random.

Nooo.

I love this costume. I want the figure for it, to go with my other Discowing figure.

This is why DC can't win. All their old fans have TERRIBLE taste.

I'd subscribe to this in a heartbeat I'd get way more mileage out of it than MU.

Hmm interesting. I know there's been rumors that they'd dip into that realm before too. I'm also aware that MU isn't a cash cow for Marvel, either. So I can understand why they wouldn't make that leap.

I would buy it in a heartbeat. There are so many "lost" DC stories from the 30s to the 60s that they've barely ever gone back to. I'd love to be able to like read the entire run of detective comics for instance.

Chances are they would only put up the ones that they've already put in the work remastering though. So, the original few Batman/Superman issues, then some scattered popular storylines, then all the new stuff.
