Has The Legion Of Superheroes Been Shunted Off Into Earth 2?
Ironically enough Tyroc even wonders if they could've stumbled into a parallel universe! Reader Wade Dove had a different theory; Could the next major DC event be the Death Of Superman? Again? If that isn't a clue to the next New 52 event, it certainly fits the direction DC appears to be heading with their characters[...]

I wonder what's really going on. You know, there must be a TV show in the DC Universe which is nothing but calls to emergency services, or police band requests like this one in Vibe Hands up who'd like to watch that? Thank you, Pandora. Looks like Mark Waid has been watching his Doctor Who here[...]
That Batwoman Wedding Proposal… (Spoilers)
It was quite a thing – though DC's PR machine didn't seem to think so. We never even got to see Maggie say "yes", she just started talking about her fiance… Well, now they get a second chance in Batwoman #23 Because after the hell the pair have been through this year, it looks like she wanted[...]
When A US General Called Superman A Coward And A Mass Murderer To His Face
Superman comics (and the recent Man Of Steel movie) have, every now and then, shown Superman at odds with a military figure or two, though usually it all gets resolved and everyone fights on the same side. That's what's happening (ish) in the current Man Of Steel comic from DC Comics and two of their highest[...]

When Batman Killed The Joker At The End Of The Killing Joke – Grant Morrison Talks To Kevin Smith
From the new Fatman On Batman podcast with Grant Morrison talking to Kevin Smith about The Killing Joke. And no, I hadn't gotten that either. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wQ2x0OKBjU[/youtube] And now I'll never see it differently again. Here's that page, the recoloured version. I always knew it was meant to be non-continuity, the Batmite reference was enough for that, but dammit[...]
No Aquaman In Justice League: War, But He Will Get His Own Animated Movie
But the fact that DC/WB saw no reason to mention what that might be–not anticipating (or simply not caring) people's reaction–is the part that confounds me the most. Aquaman is one of DC's biggest hits in the New 52, so removing him from a major project like this was bound to incite some gnashing of teeth[...]
