OFFICE HOURS VOL II: Ask DC Universe Your Questions Every Tuesday Night!

[Applejack]

@KM_726

Hi @Applejack, if you could create any DC themed cereal, what would it be called and why?

I think mine would be Mister Terrific themed and called T spheres, which would also be shaped like little t spheres. I guess my choice is do to me enjoying oddly shaped cereals.

Dawww I would totally eat T-spheres! That’s an adorable idea! Oh boy… I suppose Oracle Bits comes to mind because that’s the avatar I’m rocking. And I like that “bits” evokes a virtual space. They’d be little Oracle heads, and you could cut up the box to turn it into a miniature play laptop.

@FelixLeiter

Not sure if this is the place for this question but can all the DC Digital First titles get grouped under the DC Digital First banner? As of now the following DC Digital First titles are not included in there:

• Our Fighting Forces
• Ghosts
• Shazam! Lightning Strikes
• From Beyond The Unknown
• Birds of Prey: Sirens of Justice
• World’s Finest: Batwoman & Supergirl

HAAALP! I’m not sure where you’re referring to with the DC Digital First banner- is this an area of the dccomics.com website? A section within a topic that we post? Just one or two more details and I can see what’s what!

@Alec.Holland

Thanks for the heads up, Felix! I’ve made a note of this for the team.

For future reference, you can let us know about things like this over on the ‘Comic Book Errors’ thread

Clearly AH is much smarter than I am

Big Allie Brosh fan, but it seems like she’s been inactive a while

No connection that I know of beyond…me I guess. Likely just fresh in my head since I came across THISSS very recently …

Solutions and Other Problems

@Applejack

I hear you saying secret , but are hints allowed?

Sure! Secret just means I make it for myself and only myself Its freshly popped popcorn w/ a little cayenne pepper and nutritional yeast. That’s what makes it cheesy. (B vits) No big deal. #foodnerdsecrets

Hello Oracle​,
I’m now at the start of Season 9 of the office. It was sad when Michael Scott left, I don’t know how the show would have continue, it was like watching a Star Trek series without a captain. I’ve always like Andy, I think he does a great job as manager.
Now I’m in a final Season, YAY! Who knows what’s next.
Jim, Pam and Dwight will always be my favorite along with Michael. I also like Erin, Andy and Stanley.

I agree, the Jim/Pam/Dwight trio will always be the strongest trio! I love Erin, have you seen The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt? I saw that before The Office so I was really pleasantly surprised to see her in that role. I also like Angela, in a weird way.

@KookieSuperApe

Hi AJ,

My question for the week:

When will the app update release notes thread be coming to the Watchtower section? I always like to read those to see what’s been added to and fixed on the app/site.

Also, please pass along my thanks to the development team for getting the backwards user reading lists problem straightened out. It’s so nice to have all of my lists back in their proper order.

No problem, KookieSuperApe! That’s on me not getting the release notes to you- I needed to be granted access to the document where they live and I haven’t checked back in. I’ll try to get those up tomorrow

In the meantime, if you like talkin’ features, you can share your gratitude and ask any questions you have about upcoming features in this Q&A on Thursday with our Product Manager!

(I see you did already, but I’ll go ahead and post anyway for anyone else who wasn’t aware )

@Reaganfan78

Hello Oracle​,
Almost everyday I think we are getting new members, I’m really happy for you guys, changing DC Universe into DC Universe Infinite was probably the best things that ever happened. Change is not easy, but we can make it work.

Thank you so much for saying that, RF- it’s been a lot of work, and I haven’t been able to be in the forums as much, but I’m really happy to see it paying off!

[Reaganfan78]

You’re welcome.

[msgtv]

Do you worry about monkeys eating popsicles

[Reaganfan78]

When they look guilty!

@Razzzcat

Hey Applejack! I noticed an awesome new toy in my profile: We have drafts now! Thank you! I’ll let you pic what tiny animal you’d like to celebrate with, but for now :

No cat has ever been more fabulous!!

And yay! I’m so happy that didn’t go unnoticed Although I am sorry to hear the functionality is interfering/being “draft happy”. Please let us know if you keep seeing it!

@Razzzcat

@Applejack

a very “popsicle sticks and paste” person.

Imagination and fortitude it’s what got the job done tho.

Right?!

@Razzzcat

@Applejack

please let me know about the alternative meats you find most successful- for fun, I was going to try a quinoa taco meat

Did you ever get a chance to make it?

My quinoa got freezer burn before I got a chance to try it But we will persevere!

@Razzzcat

Either way: the faux-chicken test went well! I don’t use a lot of ‘wheat-meat’, as I call it (seitan). Most of the time I just replace meat w/ various beans, nuts or veggies (or tofu),

This always seemed most logical and nutritious to me- less processed food, you know? You know.

@Razzzcat

and I’ll likely not change, but the flavor works, the texture is good for certain recipes or people trying to transition to plant-based. It was called Quorn. Beyond Meat is pretty legit replacement for ground beef too.

I tried Beyond Meat and it kind of creeped me out A little TOO legit!

@Razzzcat

You are correct in your assessment that plant items last longer. Generally kinder to your wallet, too, and who doesn’t like saving money—WHO?! Point them out! jkjk.

NO ONE!

@Razzzcat

Sorta. Okay, here’s what’s on. Keepin’ my chin up and this (part Typer) Have a great week.

I cannot wait to watch this video- I love The Wiz, I bet this is going to be a treat. You are le best for sharing!

[Razzzcat]

I do. All the time.

I don’t. That’s a lie.

[Applejack]

@TheRealDetectiveBane

Nice to come back to office hours! I want to know which name you voted for Nightwing’s doggo. Chimp out!

A voter never tells!

Thanks for swinging by, Chimp!

[Applejack]

@Green_Loontern

I must be instilled with the knowledge of what topic you’d choose for Trivia Tuseday, given the chance.

hahahaha I love this phrasing This is going to sound silly, but I would love to know a series of DC character’s creature comforts. Favorite food? Bedtime ritual? Book?

[patterson65.37405]

I agree. The site is more streamlined this way. Besides, the loss of the movies and shows wasn’t too big a deal for me since I own copies of several of them already.

[Reaganfan78]

I haven’t seen unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, is it good? As for the actress who played Erin, she’ll be in the new Home Alone Remake!

[Razzzcat]

@Applejack

I tried Beyond Meat and it kind of creeped me out A little TOO legit!

Ok, I’m glad Im not the only one! The first time, I kept saying…*nah, I think this could be real beef. This is weeeird!

Okay, heading out. Have a great week everyone! Thank you @Applejack!

[Applejack]

@patterson65.37405

Hi @Applejack! Remember when I posted a link to that comedy sketch featuring Carol Burnett as Supergirl? Well, I think I’ve topped that. I give you…John Forsthe as Superman! Michael Crawford as Batman! Bob Hope as The Joker! Can your heart stand it?

Michael Crawford as Batman - YouTube

I know that was rough going, so here’s a pallette cleanser courtesy of Mister Excitement himself:

jackie wilson night - YouTube

I’ve only had a chance to watch the first few minutes, but the costumes in this are hilarious!! And this Jackie Wilson tracks makes for lovely background music.

I’ll trade you for:

Otis Redding - (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay (Official Music Video)

[Razzzcat]

Happy birthday @patterson65.37405!!

[Applejack]

@MisfitCMJ

We do we talk to about extra cool special edition Wonder Woman shirts that essentially cost $25.00 and $10.00 shipping arriving in a shoddily-printed condition? You can’t really see the cool background images.

Awww man, that’s really disappointing Please contact the DC Shop directly- they may be able to issue you a refund:
