Okay Who else here has been reading Dark Knights of Steel? Also, here’s this stuff—Nubia’s new series starts 6/7. We have discussion for it here for anyone who plans to check it out.
DC Fan Art Club covered Dark Knights of Steel recently, if anyone wants to come by…
I finished the Batwoman story and thought it was very good. (I have read the other readings also but it’s been awhile…I’m just gonna focus on what this for now since I just read it for the first time).
First off, I’ll be completely honest - I don’t love New52 Diana. Yes, she is a badass, but that is only one part of what makes her great. In New52 it seems like…her compassion is there, but it’s much more muted. Batwoman had to remind her way too often not to kill people/creatures. It’s not that Diana as I know her never kills, but it’s always a last resort and she certainly doesn’t enjoy it. Lots of talk about “being the sword/standing in the blood of my enemies”…that just doesn’t work for me and my experience with how Wonder Woman is most often represented.
Anyway, having said that, I’m never gonna complain about Diana showing up in comics I’m reading, and I really enjoyed seeing her team up with Kate. And we got some more of those really cool full-page spreads:
This was a cool story, though. Love the mixture of mythology and Gotham darkness. And the proposal at the end was lovely. More than anything I’m glad Kate told Maggie who she really is. Secret identities are just not good for relationships.
Finished the Batwoman. The best way to see Diana is through the eyes of another hero. Especially a mortal one. But I am more about the team up in general. some random thoughts:
Batwoman’s red lettered narration is very easy on the eye (compared with the Batman who Laughs)
I did enjoy getting lost in Kate and Mags self torment about the other
Given how Pegasus, son of Medusa, was drawn, i am guessing it is from the more interesting interpretation of the Olympiad (punk Eris, old man Ares, et al)
I find myself wondering if Bones is just a reanimated skeleton or if all of him is invisible except said skeleton.
I gather Dark Knights of Steel is your average Elseworlds. I don’t know why I delayed reading the second issue, since Diana was not in the first. “Holy crap”, he understated. Other than that small cliffhanger and the brief intro to Diana, I am looking forward to Bruce telling Kal, “there’s something you need to know.”
Hello and welcome to our first set of spotlights, everybody!
