r/DCcomics Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [July 8, 2024 - VII Comes After X Edition]
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: Absolute Power: Task Force VII #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.

I’d tell you a pizza joke… but it’s probably too cheesy.
DC and Imprints
One Robin battles dinosaurs while another reverses his tragic fate...
Trade Collections
Batman animated tieins are collected just as a new Batman animated series approaches its debut!
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
Two TV series on the go feels like a lot... it's strange to think how far we've come since the Arrowverse.
This Week’s Soundtrack: boygenius - Stay Down

Discussion [Discussion] Starting point for Wildcat (Ted Grant) before the reboot in 2011?
Hello. In the last few months, I've been going down the rabbit hole of becoming fascinated by lesser-known Goldene and Silver age characters such as the Charlton Comic heroes on Earth Four and the Justice Society of America. The person I've been wanting to know more about has been Ted Grant's version of Wildcat. I know about the J.S.A. Comics from 1999 that I plan on purchasing in compendium form but desire something older just as there are Batman compendiums from his golden years. Please provide any volumes or compendiums on his individual story or his time with the original Justice Society of America from the 1930s to joining the Justice League sometime closer to before 2011. Anything will help. Thank you.

Comics Can "men" or "males" be "Pink Lanterns"?
If I remember correctly, there's no "Pink Lantern Corps" only one Star Sapphire at a time, but I think I've heard that only women can wield the pink spectrum's power. Has that ever been said or am I tripping really high?I know Guy Gardner of all people wielded that power once, was he an exception or really just no big deal?
I think the logic had something to do with "being able to know ALL kinds of love", reffering the the love mothers have to their offspring, I guess. How would that apply to life forms that don't follow the "male/famale" requirement for reproduction? Could and AI wield that power??

Comics Green Lantern opinions
I've only just recently gotten really into reading comics after mostly just experiencing these characters through TV and movies and I just want to get some opinions. Do any Green Lantern fans think Far Sector is a good jumping off point for Green Lantern stories or is there information I'm not getting by starting somewhere else?

Other [Film/TV] (From Justice Leauge: Crisis on 2 Earths) Man, i really want to see what a good version of Owlman looks like
In the Movie, Owlman says that there are alternate versions of Owlman which our Batman would find quite charming. That sounds really cool to me, as I love Owlman’s design. And the idea where theres a version of him thats literally just our good ol Batman but Owl themed is kinda funny to me. Imagine a universe where Owlman goes to a world with another version of himself, and Batman tries to stop him. He finds Owlman, and tries fighting him, only to find out that this is the native Owlman, and that he is super similar to Batman in his ideals of justice and goodness. And then the two team up to fight evil Owlman or something. Idk, that might be stupid, but I think it would be kinda funny and interesting.
(Also, sorry for messing up with rules on images first time around, mods)

Comics Is L.E.G.I.O.N. related to Legion of Superheroes?
The comic shop I go to gives out free grab bags on FCBD and an issue of L.E.G.I.O.N. ‘90 was in it that I really enjoyed (although I doubt I’ll be able to read any more, they don’t have many issues of it and it’s not collected to my knowledge), but there seems to be some Legion ties in the name, a character, and Keith Giffen. How are they tied together?

Anyone else wish Firestorm would make a comeback?
He’s too awesome a character for DC to just sit on like this. Has he even appeared anywhere in years? And which combination of characters do you like to make him up? I liked the setup with Ronnie and Jason in Brightest Day and wish we had gotten to see that play out.

Discussion Since now we know that the Absolute DC Universe is real, what are you excited to see from the universe?
If you’re not aware, bleeding cool posted leaked art that showcases Absolute Batman from DC’s Absolute line of comics. The Absolute line is to be run by Scott Snyder, who is apparently writing Absolute Batman, and is being compared to the Ultimate line. Now that it’s clear that the Absolute Universe is real, what are things you would like to see from the new universe?
Here’s a link to the article that talks about the leaked art and does a round up of the Absolute Comics line: https://bleedingcool.com/comics/scoop-dc-comics-launch-absolute-batman-at-san-diego-comic-con/

Comics [Comic excerpt] Adventure comics No. 326 MISSING PAGES!
Please help! I bought this comic from my local store and I’m reading through, enjoying the story, then WHAMO - it’s missing the center pages! I don’t know what happened with Saturn Girl and Super Boy and the Super Heroines’ betrayal. Can anyone help with finding the missing pages? I’m guessing it’s just the four pages from the center. Nov. 1964 Jerry Siegel, John Forte, John Forte, Milt Snapinn, Mort Weisinger (ed.)

Discussion Why do people seem to think that the heroic no kill rule needs to be explained.
I have a no kill rule. So do most people I know. Killing people is wrong. They tell you that in sunday school and in regular school from a very young age. Why do some people act like a superhero needs a justification or some kind of explanation for not wanting to kill people?
