DC Comics Adds 3 ‘New Golden Age’ Series
DC Comics’ The New Golden Age banner will soon boast three more series spearheaded by Geoff Johns. Alan Scott: The Green Lantern hails from Tim Sheridan and Cian Tormey, Jay Garrick: The Flash hails from Jeremy Adams and Deogo Olortegui, and Westley Dodds: The Sandman hails from Rob Venditti and Riley Rossmo. According to Johns, the three 6-issue miniseries will tie back into Justice Society of America and some other titles that DC is brewing.
Alan Scott: The Green Lantern will, through a timeline twist, revisit and recontextualize “the origins of the first Green Lantern through the lens of our modern understanding of the man. The story, which begins in the 1930s, is about an old flame – the kind that burns eternal – and the sometimes head-on, single-track collision of our personal and professional lives. This is Alan’s coming-of-age, in which he must embrace the man he is, to become the hero he’s meant to be. In the end, he’ll have gained a greater understanding of himself and his gifts – as he unlocks a new, previously unknown ability that could make him the most powerful Green Lantern in existence!” (DC Comics)
Jay Gerrick: The Flash finds Jay reunited and trying to reconnect with his long lost daughter Judy, who is also a speedster. “They’ll need to work to find common ground when a mission that started in Jay’s early days as the Flash comes roaring to today. But will The Flash and The Boom be able to thwart a plan that’s been in the works for decades?!” (DC Comics)
Wesley Dodds: The Sandman follows the pacifist Wesley. “He has given up on the hope of a peaceful world, but he hasn’t stopped believing that people can be better to each other, if they’re only given the right tools. Possessing a scientist’s optimism and romanticism, he is convinced that humanity can invent cures for its own ills. Having learned about the battlefield horrors of World War I from his father, he sought to create a sleep gas that would allow for “humane” warfare. During his research, he recorded all of his attempts in his science journal - even those with horribly deadly consequences - swearing to never show them to the world. Now his journal has been stolen, and he must find the culprit and stop them before his deadly mis-inventions fall into the arsenals of the belligerent nations threatening to pull the United States into the next world war.” (DC Comics)
Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #1, Jay Gerrick: The Flash #1, and Wesley Dodds: The Sandman #1 go on sale in October 2023.

DC, this is confusing
I find it so funny and strange how most male Justice League characters are dressed like
YEEEAHHH LET’S PUT ON FULL-BODY SPANDEX THAT COVERS EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE FACE AND MAYBE THE HEAD
Even Nightwing of all characters is like that!
And then Martian Manhunter is like
“This looks cool. I want to wear this.”
SIR. YOU’RE DRESSED LIKE MORE OF A STRIPPER THAN EVERY ITERATION OF WONDER WOMAN.
LIKE I KNOW THE GOLDEN AGE WAS WILD. BUT WHY.
AND I KNOW MARTIANS DIDN’T REALLY WEAR CLOTHES IN THE GOLDEN AGE BUT DAMN
#it has been updated#however he still has the crisscross across his chest and nothing more#they sometimes give him pants or a tabard#dc comics#martian manhunter#i will admit he looks kinda cool#but there are children around#dc golden age

I have like 2 different posts in my drafts trying and failing to articulate this but third time’s the charm: Bruce Wayne is a reflection of the American ideal of masculinity. This is part of why he is very often a terrible father
#When golden age Bruce slapped Dick it was because that’s what sensible men did to unruly children when necessary#I don’t think that explanation completely covers modern Bruce tho. There’s other factors there. But it’s part of it#Again I cannot fully articulate this someone more coherent than me feel free to jump in#dc

A random thought / headcanon
Superman learns knitting/sewing, deciding to give an “ugly sweater” to his friends, including captain marvel
He doesn’t make them ugly intentionally, he’s just bad at making designs
#dc comics#captain marvel#shazam#dc characters#billy batson#kenandeliza's art#superman#clark kent#a random headcanon that clark can sew/knit but suck at designing them#billy appreciates the warm sweater though#(this isn’t really the normal billy i usually draw#mostly because this isn’t the golden age billy)#wish i could color stuff better though..#billy would then use the extremely oversized sweater as a blanket#i’m not really used to drawing Billy homeless…#so sorry bout that :p#I think this is the first time I made a comic without Freddy in it#Imagine my shock!

This panel, from Action Comics #32 (1941) is confirmation of something that I have long suspected, but I have yet to see any comics historian or biographer mention as a possibility: Jerry Siegel, the creator of Superman, suffered from face-blindness, and probably didn't know it.
Face blindness, also known as prosopagnosia, is the inability to recognize or differentiate people by their faces. Many who have it are not even able to recognize themselves in a mirror without concentration. To explain it as simply as possible: a different, more precise portion of the brain is activated when looking at human faces, as opposed to the part involved in analyzing other inanimate objects. For some, the "switch" between parts of the brain used does not happen. This is sometimes due to head injury or inflamation. Looking over Jerry Siegel's biography, I was not able to pinpoint a specific incident that could have caused brain damage, but that isn't always necessary. Face blindness, in many cases, is a condition some are born with.
Fans of Superman have spent long hours back and forth arguing whether Clark Kent's disguise would be effective or not. If Jerry Siegel suffered from face blindness, it would certainly explain why he thought it would.

batman should be campy because a billionaire playboy orphan who witnessed his parents get shot in front of him, who then started dressing up as a flying rodent while fighting a clown, a lawyer, a plant lady, and some other rich guys is inherently campy. it’s silly and tragic and confusing all at once. let him be campy again plz 💔
#golden age batman artists knew EXACTLY what batman was- ‘queer and obsessive’ (yes that’s a quote)#im going to shoot the comics code authority in the head#“the batman is inherently gay” morrison sweetheart can we bring that back???#being silly and campy ties INTO his identity!!!!!!!! aughagahah h#ignore these ramblings of a mad man#batman#bruce wayne#batfam#dc comics#bruce wayne meta#batman meta
