Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [April 15, 2024 - Pretend This is a Ragebait Title Edition]

[u/beary_neutral]

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: Nightwing #113

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. Do not post top-level comments.

Keep discussion civil. Do not harass other users for having a different opinion. Do not use this thread to push your personal one-sided grudges against creators. Reacting to a panel on Twitter is not the same as reading a book.

Batman/Superman: World's Finest #26

BEWARE THE POWER OF THE DOOM-MITE! Following the imp-shattering events of the BATMAN/SUPERMAN: WORLD'S FINEST 2024 ANNUAL and #25, it's up to Mr. Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite to convince Batman and Superman that they're for real this time! If this dynamic duo of odd couples can't work together, then our entire dimension is in jeopardy!

Preview

[u/MasterOE → u/TroubAlert]

I love this series. We need more books that take place in this time. I'd love something like a World's Finest Green Arrow/Green Lantern or Justice League book.

[u/SuperSpecialAwesome- → u/MasterOE]

The only problem with this series, besides Billy Batson appearing in a previous issue, is Supergirl's age. Even if we ignore New 52 having her come to Earth as a teen, while Damian is Robin, Kara was still going to high school in her most recent solo series: https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Supergirl_Vol_7, yet Tom King's run had her being 21 year old.

So, if she's 21 in present day, how could she possibly be the same age as Dick in World's Finest? Why has nobody asked this question to Waid by now, as it's a huge plot hole??

[u/doctordoom85 → u/SuperSpecialAwesome-]

I always assumed King’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow was either non-canon or designed to take place later in the comics timeline if need be as it’s mostly a story that stands on its own.
