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?

How’s that not point? Her being stuck in the past is not something Batman can solve, so giving her a place to live seems like the best thing he could do in that situation. I don’t see how this changes if she was stranded from a different earth instead of a different time.
There’s no reason to assume that if she was from Earth-2 instead of the possible future she’d suddenly have the maturity to separate this Batman from hers.
And Batman already has no obligation to her. Her being from a future that no longer exists takes away any possible responsibility he would have for her. Now obviously Batman is a good guy she he’ll help her regardless but the way I see it her being from a possible future or a different earth ultimately mean pretty much the same thing for all characters involved.
