52 is over

[chesh]

Superman had a mental block throughout the entire year so his body no longer absorbed solar energy so he was powerless throughout all of 52. His powers coming back are dealt with in the first arc of his comic one year later. Good story.

That I did not know.

Batman was off training with Robin and Nightwing, although you saw Nightwing come back early to hit on Batwoman. I remember there being a bit in 52 where you saw Bruce off training. I guess he just trained the entire year, didn't really care about what was going on. Too bad, because I'm sure with time to plan, Batman would have beaten Black Adam to a pulp... kidding, of course.

Yeah, I knew he was training, but not the why of it -- and even more, why leave the city in the care of Harvey fucking Dent while he's gone?

Also, any idea what was up with Nightwing being kinda dickish in WWIII, or was I just reading that scene completely wrong? It seemed like he was beating the crooks up and taking their money in the chaos.

Wonder Woman was... shit, I don't know. Wonder Woman has been sucking OYL, so I don't really care what she was doing.

Yeah, I don't really care what she was doing, but I guess she's pretty important to lots of people!

WW gave up the WW mantle temporarily and started working for SHIELD I believe, I dont think she passed on the mantle until OYL then eventually took it back in the current War of the Amazons mini.

Yeah, it seemed like she was working for the government from her small bits in 52 (not SHIELD though! ). Still, it's the why that I am more concerned with. Probably should just read the OYL stuff for it!

Batman went out to train to "rediscover" Batman. Many fans take this as the reason why he's acting like less of a dick OYL.

Nightwing was being an ass in WWIII because that was Jason Todd, aka the formerly dead second Robin. The original plan for IC was for Dick Grayson to die and have Jason Todd be the new NIghtwing, only they backed out of the idea at the last minute and only gave the writer of Nightwing OYL a bit of time to compensate for the change of plans, so readers were treated to a crappy story wherein both Dick and Jason were barely-differentiable Nightwings doing stuff in New York. Jason is an ass, so he murders criminals and does wacky shit like you saw in WWIII. He also looks like Dick, so it's easy to see how you got confused.

But Batdickery is so much fun. Ah well, that's what All-Star Batman is for!

Okay, cool.

The only thing more confusing than keeping up with comic book continuity is keeping up with comic book continuity that's new to you ^^;

No no. Do not confuse Batman being a prick with Frank Miller's contempt for Batman and his fans.

Am I the only who felt like crying a bit for Black Adam? He didn't even die fighting, now he's like stuck. I know I shouldn't like him, but I pity.

Teth-Adam will be back. Eventually, the word will be found. One of my favorite scenes- at the end, we see Teth-Adam's feet in the middle of a crowd. How can you tell? He's wearing boots made out of Sebek's skin.

Little notes: Anyone else notice who's off the drugs while they were putting Skeets back together again?

Also, DC's got a nice classic cross-team thing going with Justice League/JSA. No Marvel aaaangst, just good old-fashioned comic booky action.
