(+) Yeah! (+)

None, but Blue Beetle has literally never been in anything outside of comics to my knowledge. Darkseid has been in the DCAU plenty.

Jaime was in a bunch of Brave and the Bold episodes, and has a live action series in development.

You guys don't seem hyped enough about the playable Catwoman part.

-Merc

Playable Catwoman is last year's news, we were excited about it then.

I'd rather have playable Jason Todd.

I thought you liked Catwoman, LtM. I certainly would never suspect you liked Jason Todd more than her. I agree with you though, he would be a fun playable character, except not much different from Batman. Catwoman is completely different in how she fights.

Dick hasn't banged Starfire in years, and the reboot will have her teamed up with Jason and Roy Harper.

Don't worry, the comics topic is working together on a guide for the reboot as we speak that we'll be using to help B8ers get into DC with all the new #1s!

~LtM

has the Justice League Dark been taken yet

"Biting is excellent- it's like kissing only there's a winner."

Nope

If you wanna give it a shot (and take it seriously) go for it! Just remember to follow the format.

Working pretty hard on it! Here is an EXCERPT.

The Savage Hawkman, written by Tony Daniel with art by Philip Tan

http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/new-52-the-savage-hawkman/

Description: "Wow, where to begin with Hawkman...". That's pretty much the response you would have gotten from anyone inquiring about the character pre-relaunch. This guy was a MESS, with nearly dozens of origins and deaths and rebirths and contradictions. Around a decade ago the man was streamlined by DC fixer-upper Geoff Johns, but even that was more a matter of "just pretend what happened before didn't happen". Now he's going full reboot. New origin, and a history that's been nearly wiped clean. And if the new title is any indication, this Hawkman is going to be less archaeologist and explorer, more skull crushing. Wonderful.

The Creative Team: Tony mother ****ing Daniel. You've already read the Detective Comics writeup. The man can't write Batman to save his life. But that doesn't make this completely hopeless. This is the first title Daniel has written other than Batman, other than some editorially-mandated filler writer mess half a decade ago. Maybe he can surprise us. Probably not. Hawkman #1 is going to be a COMPLETELY new beginning, meaning it's on Daniel to build the basis for this hero. That includes supporting cast and new villains. Who's the last new character Daniel made? Catgirl.



Yes, that's real. That really happened. And she's as terrible as she looks. Thankfully she probably no longer exists. Maybe. Hopefully. So forgive the lack of faith here.

Philip Tan is the bright side here. The man is a fantastic artist, one of the best, and severely underutilized considering how long he's been working. I'd like to say look to his past work for example, but the page of Hawkman they've released honestly has very few similarities to what we've seen of him before. Thankfully, it's just as good, if not better.




Ease of Entry: 100%. Pretty much nothing regarding former Hawkman stories and origins is going to matter here, and that's a good thing. Is losing the radically conservative and politically short-tempered powerhouse of yore (who somehow still becomes enraged at the implication that he's a Republican) a shame? Sure, there's been good times. But it wasn't worth it. A new Hawkman book without this reboot would be nigh-IMPENETRABLE by the casual consumer.

Recommendation: Don't write it off. If this ends up being good, SOMEHOW, it could be very good. But it's not likely, and you can almost certainly go ahead and skip it for now. Good art can't save terrible writing. If you're really interested in the character, go ahead and throw down $45 on a preorder of the 688 page Hawkman Omnibus by aforementioned Geoff Johns. You'll almost assuredly be happier with that purchase than picking this up for $2 a month.

Which reminds me, I should work on the Batgirl write-up while I feel like it.

Luthor could sure work.

Darkseid wouldn't, but both of them would make more sense than Sinestro at least.



Luthor doesnt work in an Arkham game

Darkseid would be plain out dumb

--
Nice catch BlAcK TuRtLe.
But too bad your ass got SAAAAAAAAAAACKED.*tackles*

Luthor could be collaborating with Hugo Strange.

Granted I'm pretty sure they've never interacted in comics, but it's not so far fetched to think those two characters, considering their personality, would work together for mutual gain.

ANYWAY, my point was that they still make more sense than Sinestro, because he sure as hell wouldn't fit either.
