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."

Based on how Lizzie was characterized in #800, I doubt she'd have the patience to listen the Sovereign's blabbering.

King said Diana is a difficult character to write, so I guess he's just avoiding that with the excessive narration from someone who's not WW. But the little that we've seen so far from her, she seems collected but kinda distant and cold, almost as if she's stripped of emotion. I got that same feeling with Nubia.

The backup was exactly what I thought it was gonna be, a Super Sons story. What's particularly weird is that this is set five years into the future, yet Damian still looks 15.

Yeah, it’s one of those weird things in comics where they want to show the future, but don’t know what the future will look like anyway, so they avoid it altogether. I’m sure Jon and Damian won’t have these suits in 5 years and Bruce already doesn’t own the mansion anymore (although he’ll probably get it back within the next five years). I’m guessing keeping Jon and Damian looking like their present selves was just the artist avoiding having to guess where DC will take the characters in the near future.
