I'm kinda confused as to why they'd decide to continue Suicide Squad over Secret Six. Were the sales that bad? It had a great ending, but it certainly had juice for much more.

I'm honestly surprised Secret Six lasted as long as it did. I really don't think it had many readers at all, which is a damn shame.

I love Zatanna as well, but I highly doubt it had many readers.

Too bad. It was one of my favorite villain books of all time, due to them acting more humanly and less "we're such cool villains". We got to see the other side of the battle, people with actual problems, family, relationships, and many other things we don't usually see in bad guys.

Let's hope Suicide Squad got some of that depth rubbed off on it.

Also, honestly believe Zatanna was a personal favor to Dini, in order for him not to leave DC. =P Didn't work, though.

It was! Even though Zee's a tough character to work with in order to bring about a new story. You can never possibly measure any kind of "power level" with her.

I got a hold of Green Lantern Corps 1, and Supergirl 1. Place was out of GL 1 though.

I really like the new Super Girl Suit. I really like it. The haircut is cool too. Reminds me of Power Girl.

Say, with the New 52 and all that, does that mean previous things like the Batman Beyond comics are canceled? And I assume we wont be seeing a Superman Beyond #1.

On another note, I also bought Batman Beyond #1 and Superman Beyond #0. (I read SB, but I liked it, so I figured id buy it)

GL books act as if nothing about the reboot happened. I like that.

Also, Beyond Universe stays where it is, but I think the Beyond comic is cancelled for now. Thank God though, they put Adam Beechen in charge, and he was kinda ruining it.

Guess anything that wasnt part of the big reboot is canned until they decide to re instate it.

that said;

[spoiler]Batman swiping Hal Jordan's ring in JL 1 was just plain amusing. "Your just a regular  guy in a bat suit? Are you kidding me?" Batman: *swipes ring* "Hmm, how does this work?"[/spoiler]

The Beyond Universe is currently being given quite alot of attention, and alot of love with that recent comic series, the one-shot stories, the integration of a separate Beyond-like continuity in the normal DC Universe with Damian mentoring Terry McGinnis...

We're gonna see more of it, guaranteed.

Also, Bats #1 and Wondy #1 ruled. Wondy specially is the best thing I've ever seen her be the main character of. If it keeps on being as good, it'll be the best Wonder Woman run there is, and we'll finally have amazing Wondy books to speak of.

I finally get to go to the store and pick them up today.

I had no doubt that Batman #1 was going to be awesome, cause Snyder is easily one of the best things DC has going for it right now. I was hoping Wonder Woman would be good, cause I love yelling out WONDER WOMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN like the old TV show song!

I actually keep seeing on that Release date list floating around the web, Januay being tossed around with Batman Beyond in it, but supposedly unconfirmed.

What I love the most about the new Batman, is that Snyder isn't being his usual crime dude thing man. In Detective Comics, he did Detective Stories. In here, he actually does BATMAN. Doing what Batman does best.

So I finally got my comics today. Yeah, Bats & Wondy are definitely at the top of the list. I liked Supergirl too. Blue Beetle is interesting and I hope it keeps the spirit of the original Jaime comic. I also liked Nightwing as well.

Wonder Woman really surprised me. I wasn't planning on picking it up but it showed up in my file so I thought, "What the hell?" and bought it.

Best decision this week.
Come and read some Thoughts of a Platypus

It's basically new Superman without the belt. Colors will definetly be adjusted for the movie.

Looks close enough for me to accept it without any problem whatsoever. The shield's the right size, and the cape's huge and beautiful.

What works in a comic book doesnt necessarily always work in real life.

also dont be so sure. Remember Superman Returns had maroon instead of red. Wouldnt surprise me if the way the colors are now is the way it looks in the movie.

also-
the first pic up there is apparently shopped from 2 pics.

http://www.movieweb.com/news/man-of-steel-set-photos-featuring-the-superman-costume

The suit wouldnt bother me that much honestly, but the bulge is just incredibly distracting.

It resembles the comics a bit, but minus the armored look. just tights minus the undies.

I guess we should wait for actual footage, like a trailer, but for now? "Not sure if want"

Personally, I think its a pity Routh isnt getting a second shot at the cape. He bears an uncanny resemblance to Reeve.

It's being co-produced by Nolan in order NOT to suck. Plus, the bulge and the cape are touched up with CG. We can't just ask the man to not be endowed. The suit's probably darker to suit the movie tone, which most probably won't be as cartoony as the originals. I'm taking a wait-and-see approach, but I got a good feeling about this one. Snyder's only stinker was when he was allowed to go rampant with his own ideas. He's very good at being true to originals, and this movie's rumoured to be an adaptation of Birthright, Superman's best origin, IMO.

Well Im still gonna give it a chance, not gonna knock it till I see it, After all, when i heard Nolan was involved, I was pretty sure It was gonna be good, just my initial impressions of the costume are "eeeeeeeh...."

Also, it seems Clark Kent wont have Glasses? Theres at least 2 screens of him as Clark, without glasses.

Is it silvery, with pointy nipples? No. It looks like the comic book version, which is what people keep bitching about all the time for superhero movie costumes to look like.

Instead of spelling doom for the movie right off the bat by simply looking at the costime and saying it's like the worst superhero movie of all time, just wait a bit for any good footage, at least. The movie's got good actors, it's got a decent director, and Nolan is co-producing it to make sure it doesn't suck. Nothing Nolan has ever touched has sucked. Have a little faith.

Clark doesn't need glasses, he uses them as a disguise. Maybe he's not with people at the time, or he's simple removing them to reveal the costume after.

No duh, It just surprised me, after all they are his ONLY disguise. And seeing as this time he doesnt seem to have the curl thing going on, (Curl as superman, hide the curl as clark)

Oh, related.
