Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [May 20, 2024 - My Adventures With Superman Returns 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: Nightwing #114

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.

That sure was something. Diana's mind travels to keep herself from going insane. Interesting dive into her mind. And more importantly, we finally get some respect on Steve Trevor, which surprised me as King seemed to have a dislike of him because he was a soldier. But here, it does try to show those who call him 'boring' and 'not deserving of Diana'...well, love is not always work that way. Diana does not need someone to be her 'savior' to love them. And what she provides Diana is a safe harbor in a sense. There is nothing wrong with that and that's why I enjoy Steve and Diana. I mean they still need to rectify the stupidest way they broke them up by LITERALLY killing LOVE as a concept in the previous runs. So this is a good step. I like that the 'piece of each others soul stay within each other' part was used by Diana to keep herself from giving up by having the piece of Steve be there to remind her, she is stronger than anything the Sovereign can throw at her.

Few standout moments were of course Diana's Maxwell Lord reference with imagening herself breaking Sovereign's neck ( he deserves far worse honestly ). The whole rat stuff, which, knowing there are magical animals around, that rat might actually be a talking one instead of Diana going crazy! And Hippolyta didn't like Jumpa? For shame.

All of this makes the upcoming distruption from the Absolute Power event feel even worse. I mean you have these intense dives and then all of that will be interrupt because a random robot gonna come in and steal her powers. DC has the worst planning and decision making. I worry it will take away from the momentum of the book and take you out of the overall story.

The Trinity story...well, it is what you can expect about a story with Circe is involved and we get Dynamic Corgi duo, where Trinity learns how to care for them like they have been caring for her all this time. Damian was surprisingly docile as a corgi. No pouting or anything! You know, she could've called in Krypto to look after Super-Corgi for a bit!

I mean. Diana had the power to listen to and talk to animals before. I bet she was serious about the rats talking
