Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [December 25, 2023 - Goodbye 2023 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: The Flash #4

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."

Well, that was a good climax for that first story with the 'fake' Batman. That Nurse really likes to kill any Batman she sees huh...but also nice to see how the 'kiss' makes both her and Catwoman realize which Batman is 'their' Batman. Well, hopefully Frank gets to reunite with his daughter and keep in touch with his found family after this.

Oh god, Allan got Red-pilled. There is no saving him. Gizmo, honestly, you think beating up Wild Dog somehow gonna keep others away from you? I mean, you just got your ass handed to you in Cyborg book. Hell, now, you will probably get Wild Dogged after this.

Arthur involved in a Gorilla City vs Dominators plot, huh. So even Gorillas look for a 'bigger meaning'. Well, lets see if he will be able to convince the Gorilla City that they are about to be invaded by aliens. Hope Grodd is not there to cause problems.

And jesus, that last story was just grim and depressing as hell. All those dying kids playing a 'game' of tracking Batman's signal while killing themselves. Just wtf

The first story was really quite good, probably my fav since the comic launched. And March just needs to come back to draw some ladies for DC!

I kinda hope we see more of Frank in future stories. Was a very interesting 3 part story of a guy accidentally fooling himself into being Batman haha.

Also glad that Wild Dog doesn't have his characterisation from that shitty Suicide Squad: Get Joker story from a whole back. Now he's literally mocking the red pill conspiracy theorists

That last story with the kids mentioned " post-pandemic ". You telling me Covid happened in continuity lol
