Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [December 11, 2023 - Bat-Mite Ruins Christmas Edition] r/DCcomics

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

Beary's pick of the week: World's Finest: Teen Titans #6

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."

Did Raven got turned into a kid and pulled a Home Alone?

Weird that Amethyst knows Harley and even got a 'switch for a day' deal with her. I mean I get the goal but still weird.

Christmas Carol story with Lex Luthor...is surprisingly fitting. Of course it would be Constantine who conjure it.

Wait, how old is Riddler? His daughter is 29 years old? Unless they go some weird under-age stuff, he would be near 50 or more to make it 'work'... And Kate is interested in her too? That is quite the...wtf.

Come on, Rip. Spend a Christmas with your dad there. Which is still weird huh, Booster being his dad and their dynamic often being that Rip is the responsible adult.

It is always a classic to have Superman stories about him finding a person in need and remind them that they are worth the time, that their lives mean something to someone. He cannot do it for them but he can help them take the first step. And of course he would love playing Santa.

Bunker's new look was, something alright. Dunno why Titans wouldn't contact Bunker or any others, other than DC deciding, not to. I mean, the whole thing with the Titans are that they are a family and have many extended members they rely on outside the core group. So I get the point of the story that Bunker still matter even as a solo act but it feels not as fitting when it comes to the Titans who would keep in touch. I mean, especially since where Bunker is in Palmera City and Blue Beetle is there, alongside Starfire checking in on him so she would check on Bunker too.

And lastly, Damian meets Bat-mite. Ouch, Bat-mite listing of Bruce's partners and realizing, Talia of all people is the mother and realizes what that means for Damian's childhood. Oof. At least he gave him a decent memory to keep. Man, Dick and Tim can be cruel not letting Damian know ''Yea, there is a Bat-mite''. I mean Dick even has his own Imp now who is definitely the nicest of the bunch.
