General DC Comics Discussion Thread

[Antvasima]

Thank you both for helping out.

Black Alice currently scales from Hecate btw, so she also needs to be edited.

So what about Black Alice?

Black Alice (Post-Flashpoint)

Black Alice is a character who can temporarily take over the magical powers of any being. Once an ordinary girl, she was possessed by a devil upon begging for her life to be spared during a car accident that killed both of her parents. Tier: Unknown normally. Varies up to 1-A with magic...

Between IRL stuff and a bunch of other DC threads, I’m kinda busy. If nobody gets to it, I’ll try to see what could be done about her.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you for helping out.

 

[Deagonx]

Sorry for dragging my feet. I've been overwhelmed with irl stuff

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. No problem.

 

[Deagonx]

I've taken care of Hecate, UDM, and Black Alice.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you. So which pages, if any, are left for you to edit?

 

[Deagonx]

I don't think there are any now.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you for helping out then. Which of them are left to edit-lock?

 

[Elizio33]

On Hecate's profile: "Exists in the Sphere of the Gods, a metaphysical reality which is a higher plane of existence than the Orrery of Worlds."

This should be removed as we already have the DC Cosmology Blog to explain this. Her justification should be: (More powerful than any other gods. With a facet of Hecate's power, Manitou Dawn could have destroyed Rama Kushna and Hecate stated that Rama's power is nothing compared to her own).

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. That seems fine to adjust then.

 

[Catzlaflame]

Extremely minor thread. Honestly it was mainly just some basic quality control, but if I could get some comments would appreciate:

edit: thanks, concluded

 

[AerrowStorm1]

Hmm. I've been thinking. I think I can make an argument that Superman, who is explictly stated to be equal to Orion after Infinite Crisis and 52, should scale to Orion crossin the universe.

SNIP

Ant can you please unlock: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/The_Great_Darkness
The page lacks a summary, and that coupled with a unnecessarily large image makes it look unatrural.

Also, you may want to lock up the cosmology blog. Priority target for vandals.

 

[Antvasima]

I have done so.

 

[Catzlaflame]

I have done so.

I have fixed the formatting issues with the Great Darkness, but the page is of low quality in general.

I would appreciate some input on this CRT that hopes to change that:

What does the Twitter message say? I have blocked my access to the site.

 

[M3X_2.0]

What does the Twitter message say? I have blocked my access to the site.

It’s James Gunn’s official Twitter account saying he casted David Corenswet as Superman/Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you for the information.

 

[Antvasima]

Hmm. Tom King is a part of the main writing team for the new DC Universe franchise, and his main characteristics as a writer so far has been to deconstruct, severely distort, mock, defile, undermine, and otherwise very subversively take all of the fun out of almost every entertainment property he touches, almost as if he is running a psy-op mission for his former employers at the CIA.

New DC Universe Unveils First 10 Projects: ‘Superman: Legacy’ in 2025, Batman & Robin Movie, Green Lantern Series, Wonder Woman Prequel and More

DC Studios chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran unveiled the first 10 titles in the new DC Universe, including "Superman: Legacy" in 2025.

I really wish that Gunn had picked Grant Morrison and Mark Waid instead.

 

[JohnCenaNation]

By the way, people has been spamming this feat of Superman for a while all across the website of him punching timelines, so I wanted to know if this feat of Superman is legit or not.

I believe that's being discussed currently in this thread.

"Defile"
I'm sorry I think that's treating it waaaaay too seriously lmao

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

I don't think Tom King is even that bad? Like his GL and Batman stuff sucks. But his Superman and Supergirl works are extremely good, some of the best DC stories I've read. And I've heard some good things about his other works.

He seems to be generally a hit or miss writer.

 

[M3X_2.0]

Like his GL

He’s writing the Green Lantern TV Show as rumors says

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

Oh yeah Oof

I heard he's taking cues from the Geoff Johns GL run. That's something ig?

 

[Antvasima]

Tom King's takes on Booster Gold, The New Gods, and the "Wally West is a mass-murderer of superheroes in psychiatric care" stories severely soured me on him, and I have heard from others that this is what Tom usually does.

Heroes in Crisis is infamously his worst story
Plus that one was editorially mandated by our favorite DC official Dan DiDio

 

[M3X_2.0]

Tom King wrote a very good Vision run, though I have to say, his one shots are better than his long runs. Batman Killing Joke is fun.

 

[AerrowStorm1]

I mentioned this before, but Superman's sundip in Action Comics 782 wasn't so he could get the power to move Warworld.

it was to kill Brainiac 13 (Someone who scales to or above Superman in base) amped by Imperiex.

Even when he does switch to moving Warworld, it's again Warworld amped by Imperiex, when Brainiac 13 is using as much of Imperiex's energy as possible to try to stop Superman from moving it.

 

[Antvasima]

All that was stated in your scans was that Superman achieved a feat perceived to be far beyond his usual capabilities by moving Pluto, which had been turned into a new Warworld, after sun-dipping, and that mechanical movement thrusters had been engaged to help prevent it.
