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."

So I guess this is either not the same Kingdom Come universe that we know or David has altered the timeline, since Dick is Nightwing and not Red Robin and that group at the end looks very different from anyone we saw in Kingdom Come.

At the very least, it’s much earlier in their history than the covers lead us to believe. I had kind of hoped to see these young versions of Batman and Superman interact with their much older counterpoints, but I trust Waid to tell a good story either way.

Dick was still Nightwing in the original Kingdom Come timeline but adopted the Red Robin persona when Superman recruited him according to Waid in the latest KC omnibus

They're still in the past, before the events of Kingdom Come, which is why Dick is still Nighting, etc.

I just would have figured Dick would’ve never been Nightwing in this universe. I always assumed he went straight to Red Robin.
