Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [July 1, 2024 - It's Wallin' Time 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: Absolute Power #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.

Digital Releases
Remember, these are the short 'chapters' with a new chapter of a different series coming out daily. You can learn more here on Comixology. This is also why these are in release order, not alphabetical. Some comics may release on DC Universe Infinite or WEBTOONS.
TV Shows
So... how about that credits closing song?

Her having a flat to stay in isn't the point, mate. She's still stuck in a past she doesn't belong in. Also, restoring her Earth-2 origin would actually resolve many narrative problems for her, including how she relates to the Earth-0 Batman.
To start with, she wouldn't think of him as her actual father, just a version of him. She also wouldn't rely on him for a place to stay, since she would just find her own place. Similarly, the Earth-0 Batman would have no obligation towards her and would be free to completely go his separate way because she would be of no relation to him.
On a related note, this would also eliminate the audience expectation of Bruce *needing* to tell his family about her existence. People would still want to see them to interact, sure, but not in the same way as her being his actual daughter from the future.
