      DC is godawful at a global presence. I can't even use their digital comic reader when traveking abroad without a VPN. It's really sad when you step back and see just how well Manga (literally just the Japanese word for comics) does globally and especially in the US. Heck, at a Barnes and Noble I saw a glorious wall display for Manga while Marvel and DC comics were stuffed away in a corner. I pay $120 a year to read DC comics like 1 to 2 months after they're out in print (I can literally go online and read them pirated before this; you tubers I follow breakdown the issues before weeks before I can even read them) and again can't read without a VPN when traveling. Meanwhile I pay like $2.99 (it used to be $1.99) for a Shonen Jump Subscription to read new Manga weekly a couple of days after they release in Japan with English translations. It's like DC doesn't want their comics read. They barely market them in the US properly.

      @ oh yeah they really need step it up. I’m lucky to be in the U.S. to read them, but heard from many people how bad globally it is. It’s one many reasons why manga so popular, because it’s also globally! Comics industry are still stuck in the old mindset of comic shops- it just so outdated now, they really need big change. Even in the U.S. some comic shops are just far away for some people.

      ​@@Sonicman4155I really would've liked to see if instead of the Justice League coming back and taking over, the Titans continued to be the premier heroes and that led into a whole new generation stepping forward into the forefront. Down the line the justice league could return but they'd operate more similarly to the Justice society, and obviously books like Batman and Superman wouldn't stop, but when the big world ending threats came it'd be the Titans leading the charge. This is honestly the promise dawn of DC sold me on. The legacy heroes would FINALLY en masse do what they were always meant to and take the driver's and as a result we'd see more focus on newer heroes like Sideways and even the legacy ones who had been forgotten like Superboy (Connor Ken). This could also work really really well coinciding with the absolute universe where you have Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman starting over in a new universe. I'm liking the Justice League Unlimited and a lot of the books DC has out right now, but it is such a disappointment that yet again the entire universe of heroes feels like backups to the usual suspects.

  • @devv197
    @devv197 6 дней назад +24

    Yara was such a waste. They could’ve had her connected to Brazilian mythology instead of Greek. There are too many Wonder Women that look similar and do similar things. Sideways was probably DC’s biggest fumble. I rarely buy comics but i bought his first two issues because of how cool the concept was. Duke was also a pretty big miss. The concept of him being a “Robin” that operates during the day is actually really cool and him having light based powers was not a bad idea. But the execution is where DC fails these new characters. They’re just too stuck on Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Look at how Marvel has done Miles Morales as Spider Man. He’s damn near as popular as Peter at this point.

    • @vullord666
      @vullord666 2 дня назад +1

      Maybe don't lean too hard on Miles as an example. Marvel is struggling there as well because they can't figure out how to move on from Peter (or more accurately let Peter move on in his life), so there's a lot of weirdness there. I would definitely say Miles is faring better than any of DC's attempts at new blood for sure. That said Miles' original appearance in the ultimate universe was... really bad. He was like the most token black character and had the blandest nothing personality. I was rather insulted reading it tbh (you know I get Peter's Ultimate run is amazing, and it is, but I do not get the love Bendis ever got). Miles improved as he joined the main marvel universe, but it really wasn't until the Spider-Verse movie that he got a massive glow-up and skyrocketed in popularity.

    Sideways could have been great in metropolis as all you need is Superman there for 1 issues to acknowledge he's there and while super is handling the giant monster on the west side of town sideways can stop the bank robbery on the east side. Metropolis really only has superman so having a street level hero there for the smaller things can work. And to connect them more you just have a few panels in there comics showing sideways opening a portal to help superman get in and out of the daily planet unnoticed.

    • @vullord666
      @vullord666 2 дня назад +1

      Metropolis has a LOT of heroes. Heck, a lot of super family members. All of which writers barely do anything with. There was even a new one recently introduced in Superman comics... who looked really cool and writers have again barely done anything with. I'm not even of the opinion there can only be one hero per city, but DC sure seems to think Superman can be the only one in Metropolis. I think currently there's only ongoing books for Powergirl and Superman in Metropolis. Action Comics as well is mostly focusing on Superman. Meanwhile there's two Steels, two Superwomans, a Superboy, two alien twins Clark picked up from his adventures on warworld, Supergirl, Chinese Superman, and Jon Kent Superman, and that's not including a new hero that was introduced last year as having moonlight powers and I have not seen since.

    Wonder Woman has a bigger family than you think. Let's not forget about Artemis and Grace, who was on the Outsiders squad with Arsenal and Nightwing and was also in a relationship with Black Lightning's daughter. And doesn't she have a Brother, too. And also wasn't Grail supposed to be her half sister or something. She's almost as convoluted as hawkman.

    It would be so amazing if Wonder Woman discovered that it wasn't originally the Greek Pantheon who created Themyscria, but rather goddesses from around the world who came together in an effort to create the Amazons to promote peace and understanding and love before some falling out where the Amazons isolated themselves from all gods until the Pantheon found them again. We could get so many Wonder Girls and Women with their names being "Wonder [Girl/Woman in another language]" like Wonder Shoujo if one were Japanese.

    @kevrulz06 6 дней назад +8

    I really liked the Sideways book. That whole project of "New Age of Heroes" was jokingly criticized by many comic fans for just being Marvel knockoffs, but I distinctly remember a good amount of people were saying that DC was publishing the best Fantastic Four book at the time with The Terrifics, embarrassing Marvel who never really got them going again after 2015 Secret Wars. As far as Sideways goes, if I'm being honest, the best story I can think of would've been for him to not be able to control his dimension or space/time hopping, so he winds up on these exotic worlds. Kinda scifi/survival adventure. Great way to expand DC cosmos more, with new worlds for possible later use, establish new characters and have a character with a trait that's not really been done before, not to this level. It's basically Black Science (Image title).

    "Those 2 are hardly relevant now," I disagree with that statement. I think Tim Drake is still very relevant. You can make an argument for Kyle Rayner. He's definitely lost a lot of relevance. Especially recently. The thing is, when Geoff Johns resurrected Hal Jordan, he made sure to do it in a way that didn't diminish Kyle's impact or importance. Throughout Johns run on Green Lantern, he made sure that Kyle always had something cool and interesting going on. Whether it was making him ion or the new guardians book or giving him a ring from every lantern corps, Geoff Johns made sure that Kyle Rayner stayed at the forefront of the green lantern part of the dc universe. The problem was that Geoff Johns didn't stay on Green Lantern forever. Once he left, the writers who came after Johns didn't put as much care into maintaining Kyle's importance as he did.

    • @Superlad9494
      @Superlad9494 5 дней назад +1

      Also if Kyle wasn't with the Corps...he's either got bro-nanigans going on with Wally or being the only guy of Donna's that while he deals with tragedy...doesn't end up getting blown up or fridged...likely because he'll literally put the moon back together with the lanserian goop that makes Diana's invisible jet and his own willpower for which he never had a problem with the yellow fear emotion until he was forced to...not to mention Kyle routinely told his enemies, "I'm an artist, this power ring's like candy...and yes that means you Sinestro can consider yourself erased." and then of course he's the one who turned the Fab 5 Titans into the Spectacular 6 by just generally meshing really well with silver age starters by being the Grayson to Hal's Bruce.

  • @brucebanana4486
    @brucebanana4486 5 дней назад +7

    I don't think Duke would have been any better as Robin because he has to share it with Damian and later with Tim. It is really hard to make standout to the rest of the Robins. Dick and Jason were already orphans. How they became their hero is very unique, which will be hard to top of those.
    Also, Harper was probably going to be Nightwing before New 52. Scott Synder was writing Dick as Batman, and Court of Owls was supposed to be his not Bruce. I wouldn't be surprised if the original idea that someone needs to fill in the Nightwing role, which Harper takes the mantle.

Meanwhile Sideways was one of the major things that got me back into DC and one of my favorite young heroes with the ending with his mother being interesting but they never touched on him again. While Duke is really interesting in the Wayne Family Adventures Webtoon I don't know what he's doing in the actual comics since the we are robin event and some general batfamily stories.

      Okay let's look at more critically the run's first premises was finding out the father of Trinity and it was heavily implied to be that blonde woman in issue one was the mother and she killed a bunch of people in a bar a plot he seems to have dropped .
      His absolute power tie-ins where just bad in my opinion a waste if time. Steve's death losts it's impact with the different time-line thing Tom king likes to do it stead of writing a straight foward impactful story.
      Since all in the big has just been mid with wonder woman barely showing up which would be fine if the stories where interesting I just find it weird how Yora robbed a bank (which did have the sovereign money) she beat up police officers doing there jobs she didn't even try to explain and let cheetah maul the sovereigns account brutally.
      The detective chip issue is probably the least interesting issue so far his trying to find out how the sovereign killed Steve which dosen't work since we (the readers) already know how he did it so it kinda feels like filler to me
      And the funny thing is we know the sovereign already lost as he is the narrator so it loses all tension for me as he just glazes wonder woman each issue and his supposed to be a joker level threat right.

Since 2006 she's shared Wonder Woman with Diana...she just dresses in variations on her Troia suit (a a black and silver variation on her old red and gold Wonder Girl suit) with armor because she can...and all hero captions for her exclusively state public identity as Donna Troy, but if she has a codename, she answers to Wonder Woman, not Wonder Girl, not Troia, not Darkstar, not Wonder Warrior, Wonder Woman.
      Wonder Warrior seems more ah...Artemis Grace's department if she wasn't also Wonder Woman-Jason Todd editon?

    3 OF THE NEW DC HEROES I THINK SHOULD BE ADDED IN CERTAIN STORIES & THEN SHOWN IN CARTOON SHOWS LATER:
    The first is THE-SIGNAL aka (Duke Thomas Brown) & I want to see a variant of him, to appear in a (BATMAN BEYOND) story.
    That’s about a variant of Future-Batman, who exists within the Earth-226 Realm, and I would like to see it in a cartoon show.
    I imagine DUKE first meets FutureBatman, when he’s 7years old, and Future-Batman aka (Terrance “Terry” McGinnis) is 17years old.
    In addition I imagine at age:12, DUKE discovers he’s a MetaHuman, and later he decides he wants to be a hero.
    I also think that Duke, should be given more abilities & powers, along with have a better looking outfit for him, and do most of his fighting at night with Batman.
    The 2nd. is WONDER-GAL aka Cassie Sandsmark, who’s the daughter of WonderWoman, and is a love child from her mother’s tragic romance with a guy.
    The 3rd. is SIDEWAYS aka Derek James Grey, he has teleportation power, and superhuman strength.
    I myself think SIDEWAYS should be given two more added abilities, and shown in a cartoon show, joining either the Teen Titans, or the Young Justice team.

    As a whole, DC really stopped pushing new characters around 2011. The reason why is that DC decided to go for reboots of established characters, leaving their successors in the wind. Why try and make a new IP when they could make The Justice League the hot new kids on the block?
    And I hated this because Blue Beetle was on the cusp of being the new cool teen superhero but the New 52 undid all of that and made him irrelevant.

    Before I hear anything about Yara if there's about to be a statement that's about to say that she herself was not popular that would not be true within a pop culture context because when she did come out she was very popular and was viewed as a very interesting character one of the biggest questions was why DC ended her run with with two factors being get one people just weren't picking up her comic. Where I don't believe Comic Book Sales nowadays are a actual measure of how popular the Character Are because Comic Book Sales have been going down throughout the years with the only characters having good numbers are the most popular ones. Cuz I remember the talks when Trinity was introduced many people did not know why considering they already introduced one Wonder women character that could have been flushed out

    I kinda like the Idea of Tim Drake being Grey (Gray) Ghost and Duke be Gold(en) Shadow as like a reference to pulp comics that inspired Batman.
    I hope Duke Thomas and Harper Row get shine in Absolute.

    The Batfamily IS TOO DAMN BIG. All it should be is Alfred, Bruce, the four Robins, and Cassandra Cain. For the most part, anything else is unnecessary and nerfs Batman. That's why someone like Duke Thomas has fallen between the cracks. He could've been a great addition to the family since he has interesting powers and a history with his mysterious immortal father to make a good story. He's the one potential exception to that statement I made. The things that need to change with him are his name and color scheme. The name is awful, and if he's going to do yellow, TONE IT DOWN like human Cyrax fan art.

    You know as much as DC peach's about diversity, they are really bad at it. They can push Punchline long after everyone is sick of her, but can't properly handle a new diverse character to save their lives. Most either fade away into obscurity or are handled so poorly readers come to hate them... and then they fade away into obscurity. Sideways was one of my favorite comics when it was first coming out and such a great jumping on point with a new "relatable teen" hero. Signal... oh Signal. Even just the premise of him being the only main batfamily member in Gotham who operates during the daytime should've given him so much opportunity for great books and storytelling, but nope. Yara I don't even know enough about to comment on, and the list goes on and on. It's not even a new issue and yeah diversity is a problem at DC but it's also not one regulated to minority status. Legacy characters deal with this constantly and even then pretty much anyone not in the trinity is in danger of DC wasting them away not knowing what to do with them. This is literally what got Jason Todd killed. It's frankly pathetic at this point. DC comics has been in the industry for so long and is such a big name with so many properties (many of which they purchased or sued) and yet so many characters fall to the wayside.

    None of these characters had potential. There are too many Robins, too many extended bat family members. Wonder Woman doesn't need a family other than Donna Troy. I don't want a "Brazilian" Wonder Woman... I dont want a daytime discount Robin. They write these characters for the sake of DEI and like all things that are woke, it gets ruined.
    Brazil could have a cool superhero. But it should not be rooted around Wonder Woman.

      If they had really been thinking through about Wonder Woman and a boy ally for her...he would logically be connected to Eros...and his weakness would be the same as mentioned. Lover Boys are weak to bees....how's that for a stinger?😂
      Sure he could still be Jason Prince, but his powers should have exclusively been that of the Erotes...and then have him make a crack about why everyone really shouldn't under estimate some twelve year old kid on an archive eco-cartoon he saw once...because that kid had guts.
