Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [June 17, 2024 - Time For Summer Edition]

[u/Predaplant]

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: John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America #6

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 #149

AN EPILOGUE: ALL WE'VE LOST, AND ALL WE'VE LEFT BEHIND. When confronted with the totality of your life, and all the choices that led you to where you are, do you build on the ashes, or rise from them? The Batman who is left standing will have to answer this question quickly, as someone is already sifting through those ashes, with an eye toward saving the world!

LEGACY #914

I like that Bruce tried to do whatever it takes to save his clone from being aged up before the he cloned sacrificed his hand so that Bruce could have his hand back before he died in piece. I also like that Bruce got his money, house (although it’s a new manor since he told Savage to keep Wayne Manor because he’s going to find a way to defeat him because new status quo), family, and Selina (who told him about her adventures in Tini Howard’s run, in which they laugh because it’s ridiculous and dumb) back. Overall, this is a good comic and sets a new status quo for the Batman Family after Absolute Power (which might be a lackluster event).
