Including that DC Comics stopped Grant doing the New 52 Superman properly, that they recommend their Superman Beyond to people rather than All-Star Superman and that the recently mentioned a Big Two project… it's Batman Or rather, a Batman thing As for Superman, the energy for the character is with the movie right now… Talking more[...]

Probably doing his run to break things apart from Flashpoint that kicked off the New 52 Or The Button Or Rebirth Or Absolute Power But when it comes to the reality of the DC Universe, Jakita Wagner knows where to go. She looks it all up The reboot, the Band Aid and what came next. You don't[...]

Or just Absolute. Bleeding Cool mocked up logo for Absolute DC Bleeding Cool understands, however, rather than some single central creator-focused line, or something with a major editorial driver such as Dan DiDio's New 52 or Geoff Johns' DC Rebirth, this is intended to be more of a hands-off affair on Snyder's part, with the creators being[...]

While James Gunn was posting his holiday videos on Threads, he was asked, apropos of nothing, "Btw, do you have any favorite new 52 books?" And James Gunn answered "I bought them all!! Some were definitely better than others but Batman by Snyder, Grant's Action Comics, Azzarello's Wonder Woman, Glass's Suicide Squad, Lemire's Animal Man,[...]

Graeme McMillan has put together a 10,000 word "oral history" look at the launch of DC's New 52, ten years ago for Polygon A relaunch that Bleeding Cool first scooped the before launch, some of these insights we managed to report on at the time, others we did not… here are a few examples, the[...]

The other big conversation over the Fourth of July weekend on social media amongst comic creators and fans was kicked off by Gail Simone wanting to talk about The New 52 Ten years ago, in a series of stories first broken by Bleeding Cool, DC Comics relaunched and rebooted their entire line, retconned and rewrote[...]

Future State: Superman of Metropolis #2 is out this week and a minor spoiler. While most of the Future State comic books are looking to the future, for a

Scott Lobdell mentioned that he was bringing his run on Red Hood: Outlaw to an end with #50 of the series, that this might be the end of the series and in doing so, would bring a sense of closure and symmetry to his long run on the Red Hood And The Outlaws characters that[...]

There's a lot to enjoy. Dan DiDio Biggest Regret Was Year Two of the New 52. DiDio talked about how, as a publisher, they did not spend the same amount of energy on Year Two of the New 52 reboot than for Year One The New 52 launched in 2011 and rebooted the entire DC Universe It[...]

The 2010's statue is from Detective Comics #1000 which is a great suit but I wish they save that one for a 2020 statue and used the New 52 costume design Either way, it is a great statue that shows off the dark grey cowl and cape Any of these statues will be a great[...]

Should please the new solo publisher Jim Lee… Two versions of Wally West and his close family, simultaneously. Both the Marv Wolfman/George Perez and the New 52 versions of Teen Titans… not parallel dimensions but both existing, somehow, in the same timeline. The changed wrought by Doomsday Clock... As well as Crisis, Zero Hour and Knightfall… And including the high[...]

This is based on her New 52 look, with the red and black outfit It features over 40 points of articulation, including moveable eyes That will never not be weird Cool, but weird Harley Quinn also comes with three pairs of eyes, three pairs of hands, three face plates, a bat, a mallet, a word[...]

It seems cool, and I've been curious how DC and Geoff Johns plans to explain what's been going on in the background of Flashpoint, New 52, and Rebirth canonically. Plus, I've been hoping it might bring about the return of heroes they've not used in a bit like the Justice Society, Legion of Superheroes, and others. This[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Original Art by Philip Tan, Wallpaper Version Courtesy of Deviantart User Superman8193 We return to the Throwback Corner this week, with a beloved of mine from the early days of the New 52: The Savage Hawkman It's one that I feel was grossly underrated, and Tony S Daniel, Philip Tan, and Cliff Richards did a[...]

But it seems that the make-up sex may not be quite as good as the break-up sex, according to DC Co-Publisher Dan DiDio. In an interview with ICv2, DiFio talked about how sales of DC Rebirth trade paperbacks compare to the Nu52. "We were hoping the Rebirth trades would be a little more robust, but they are[...]

This was Geoff Johns' final writing credit on the New 52 Green Lantern title While, yes, Sinestro killing the Guardians and Hal Jordan killing Volthoom were both really cathartic moments, there is another moment I remember most: That moment has always stuck with me Here, we have two bitter enemies who have tried to kill one another[...]

Legendary Batgirl, Secret Six, Birds of Prey, and Wonder Woman writer Gail Simone took to Twitter today in discussion about the New 52 and film origins for Wonder Woman. It began with another Twitter user discussing their dislike that the New 52 introduced Zeus into the origin story of the Amazon Princess Ms Simone replied with[...]

After Geoff Johns "made Aquaman cool" with his excellent run at the beginning of New 52, the book entered a steady plateau of quality It never got bad, but it never wowed in the same way that Geoff Johns' run on the series did. When Dan Abnett took on the book shortly before Rebirth, a writer[...]

However, like I said, I'm just not convinced that there is no profit to be made in these types of books. The way DC started off New 52 satisfied me in the amount of B-to-C list characters they had on the market That's why I loved it in the beginning Hawk and Dove were back, Hawkman[...]

Poison Ivy Hot Topic Exclusive Pop Funko has shown off a new Pop figure of Poison Ivy in her New 52 costume I gotta say, while I was not a giant fan of this look, the Pop itself looks pretty great I especially like the details on the face, and the leafs in her hair are[...]

We can't tell a lot about the figure in the preview shot, but we can tell that he's based on the original Lobo design and not the New 52, skinny version Also, he hasn't given up smoking. I'm glad to see the forearm chain as well Years ago, before the word 'cosplay', I dressed up as[...]
