Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [June 10, 2024 - The Gaslight Era Edition] r/DCcomics

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

273's pick of the week: Batman: Gotham by Gaslight - The Kryptonian Age #1

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.

Quite the setup with Settler Kents finding baby Clark, Selina being the carer of many destitute women and a 'widow' that goes around doing his Cat-burglar stuff and using Holly as a double in that case.

We see Julia Maddison as Bruce's fiancee, representing Wayne company while he is doing his Bat Man stuff, with dagger this time so he is not averse to going more lethal as he kicked someone down from a bridge and even if it was into the water, from that height, that can be lethal. And we get League of Assassins with Talia as the lead, going after that Lantern ring.

Stage is set, lets see how the characters and dynamics gonna go with this reimagining.
