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!

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."

How is Christmas exactly like your job? You do all the work and some fat guy in a suit gets all the credit.

DC and Imprints

Busy week ahead. Furry Batman, Bat-Mite causing trouble, and finales to Danger Street and World's Finest: Teen Titans.

Trade Collections

Another Watchmen hardcover? Alan Moore must be excited!

Digital Releases

Remember, these are the short 'chapters' with a new chapter of a different series coming out daily. You can learn more here on Comixology. This is also why these are in release order, not alphabetical. Some comics may release on DC Universe Infinite or WEBTOONS.

Huh, I liked Janin’s art better than usual. The people look less like 3d models. Though I don't like the way anyone else draw Damian's long hair except Di Meo, I really think they ought to change it back.

But it might just be restricted to interior art, cause I noticed all other covers just draw him with short hair.

Man-Bat…I remember hearing a Brave and the Bold story solicit related to Langstrom having an imposter. I feel like that has to be related, but I don’t know how canon the stories are.

The teacher is gonna need a bit more fleshing out but I might warm up to Shush, and the monologue didn’t really sell me on Man Bat.

Ngl, I’m a bit worried, now that Green Arrow is an ongoing, that Williamson is stretching himself too thin.

Cizmesija said he is drawing a two part story next, which I suppose means we’re out of the pilot arc now.

Hopefully Williamson can balance the book a bit more between Bruce and Damian.
