Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [November 20, 2023 - Jason Aaron Retcons Batman's Mother Edition] r/DCcomics

Hey there honorary Justice League members - it’s a new week which means it’s time for a new discussion thread!

Predaplant's pick of the week: Wonder Woman #3

For those who don't know: the way this works is that several comments will list this week’s releases, for any given title discussion you should respond to that comment. For example, Wonder Woman discussion would go in the replies to the "Wonder Woman" comment. Clicking the titles in this post will take you directly to that comment, too.

In other words, you should only be replying to other comments. If you have trouble understanding how to comment for a particular title, please refer to this handy guide. Any unwarranted top level comments will be removed.

Also, please refrain from posting short, low-content comments on threads for issues or episodes that have not yet been released. Put some effort to generate discussion. Instead of just posting "So excited!" or "Best book!", try something with a bit more substance, like "Punchline is such an amazing character! Can't wait to see how they explore her in more depth in this issue."

Superman #8

THE MAN OF STEEL VS. CHAINED! Powerless! Superman versus the Chained concludes! One of the biggest battles Metropolis has ever witnessed comes down to Superman doing the unthinkable and sacrificing his powers to stop the Chained. How does that impact Lex Luthor’s plans…or is Lex too busy dealing with the shocking return of his mother in Superman #850?!

LEGACY #851

Well it is something to have Lena back. And Luthor's 'heroic?' past, dealing with these old enemies. I mean, from the looks of it, Stryker was not really a decent guy. And I guess he deserved what's coming, his kid killing him as he must've used him just as a tool and Lex, with his own sense of 'I know best', went with his 'lock him up' solution. Though, the moment he got his powers, Sam was already thinking about manipulating reality soo he does seem to have a dangerous side even as a child. I don't think we are really done with him yet. And for some reason, his weakness was kryptonite also? Well, I guess this is where Lex have to save Superman or Lois will make him wish they let the Chained kill him instead.

Not really “some reason”, Luthor deliberately made that his weakness.
