DCAU and Tomorrowverse - Couple Counterparts 2.0

[vertigoartgore]

Hooded Justice unmasked (from the 2019 HBO Watchmen tv show) by artist Brian Stelfreeze.

Matt Todd (Comic Art Fans) : "Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons is a seminal work in the medium of comics its execution of storytelling is, flawless. The need for any additional content beyond those twelve issues is not necessary but can be incredibly enjoyable. When other creators work with the characters and world it naturally makes fans nervous and its particularly uncomfortable for those who know the behind the scenes frustrations and disputes between Moore, Gibbons, and the rights holder DC Comics.

I loved HBO's Watchmen series. It truly had something to say. Showrunner Damon Lindelof threaded a very small needle, the series as a whole stood alone but brilliantly incorporated the mythology that Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons crafted in their 1986 masterpiece. The TV series enriched the world while never invalidating the original comic,

The show shared with many the sadly unknown true story of the Tulsa Massacre. Like the comic it is based on HBO's Watchmen is an incredibly dense experience which gladly encourages multiple viewings. My favorite part is how they incorporated and created an origin for Hooded Justice, a story Moore and Gibbons only hinted at. The episode “This Extraordinary Being” was one of the most powerful hours of television I have ever seen. Jovan Adepo's performance as a young Will Reeves, the last survivor of a long dead town, is incredible. The rage and vulnerability he conveys as he navigates the world as the first masked hero is a masterful performance. Will Reeves wears many masks in his life and Adepo capture all of them brilliantly and beautifully in his performance and Brian Stelfreeze does so as well in this gorgeous Commission . Brian Stelfreeze is a master of his craft whose impact of the comic medium can't be understated, I love stopping by his table at comic cons, particularly when he is speaking with young artists and providing them such wonderful insights and guidance. At the beginning of October Brian opened his at home commission list for New York Comic Con. I requested him to draw Hooded Justice unmasked and hope that it would be a request he would want to do. When I saw Brian in person at Baltimore Comic Con I asked if he had finished his list as I had made a request. He asked what my request was when I told him his face lit up and said he absolutely wanted to do that request as he loved the series and the story of that character. He told me to follow up with him so that it would stay on his radar. When I saw the finished piece I could not believe it. I was genuinely moved by the power of this piece and I can't believe it will be a part of my collection. The expression and the single tear captures everything I loved about the character. Thank you so much to Brian for doing such an amazing job on this piece."

My Bat Symbol

In celebration of Batman Day, I drew my own Batman symbol.

No references used, completely freestyle. Will probably use it for a Batman drawing down the road.

Happy Batman Day, my fellow Dark Knights & Caped Crusaders!

DC Super Heroes Unnecessary Censorship 4

[burr-ell]

with the caveat that i'm well aware of the point they're making—maybe this is just because i'm already a fan of the source material, but tlovm's level of gore doesn't feel quite as off-putting as invincible's. like some of tlovm can be a little much but invincible just seems gratuitous

Unpopular Opinion:

I like Bruce Wayne/Batman and all, but I can’t help but roll my eyes whenever DC does some alternative continuities and of all the heroes that become more antagonistic, he comes out unscathed and is one of the most irrevocably good guys that has to take it upon himself to fight his former friends/associates/family.

(Spoilers under the cut.)

Earth 2? That’s mostly Thomas Wayne junior after the first crisis.

The Batman who Laughs? That’s pretty much The Joker injecting a portion of himself into Bruce’s brain and overriding/mutating his personality.

Justice Lords? I don’t know much about their comic versions if they have one, but in the JSL Animated Series, the Batman of that world was the one who redeemed himself and turned against his team mates.

Injustice? Batman will always be the good one and always do the right thing even if he was the one who killed the Joker in a what if scenario because he is humble enough to accept his punishment and even the good Superman he recruits admits could have done the same thing as his world’s Superman and yadda yadda yadda.

DC vs Vampires? They seriously made Batman the only one of the golden trio that never got turned, the one who is trusted to figure out the solution to combat the vampires, and made Dick Grayson/Nightwing the King of the Vampires??

The CW version if the DCU? That Batman only showed up once for all I know, and was a failed attempt to criticize Zack Snyder’s take on the SC universe.

White Knight? Batman was only seen as the antagonist for barely the first few issues before teaming up with Jack Napier to take down the bigger threat, was the hero again when Joker returned, and is currently still a good guy (I don’t hate it, but I feel the role reversal of Batman and Joker’s usual dynamic could have been explored more.)

The Dark Knights of Steel? This one I will let slide on its thin ice since the “Kal-El” who stabbed Bruce was later revealed to be a white martian scout or something. I don’t want to suspect the writers intending the Els to be the antagonists but backtracking and introducing the White martians when reception to yet another antagonistic Superman was negative — and who knows? Maybe they purposely played into that to make the reveal over the actual antagonists more interesting—, but still.

In my opinion, Zack Snyder’s versions of the Trinity was the most successful of introducing a Bruce Wayne/Batman who could be seen as a well-meaning antagonist who was —and later recognized— that he was wrong. (and redeemed himself later too.)

Wonder Woman also gets some of this special treatment at times (most of her Superwomen counter parts are shifted to Lois Lane or Donna Troy, and even Mary Marvel at some point; in the animated adaptation of Injustice, she has reservations from the start and later turns against Superman despite heavily influencing him in the games and comics.)

Why is Superman usually the go-to for making/twisting a genuinely good, idealistic and upright hero who would never abandon his morals into an easily influenced powerhouse who totally will sacrifice/ditch his moral compass when given the opportunity? Some may excuse some of these iterations as being placed with the wrong setting and people who raised him in story, but that could easily work for Diana of Themyscira and Bruce Wayne too if given the opportunity. With the latter two, usually they still develop into the recognizable heroes we know and love, while at best Clark is manipulated and misguided and at worst he willingly embraces his newfound villainy.

Bruce Wayne/Batman is not better than Clark Kent/Superman. Neither is Wonder Woman.

In my eyes, and from what I can tell from most of the golden/silver/bronze age of the comic book era, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman’s character arcs and story development lead them to be seen as EQUALS. Hence their most popular dynamic as a TRIO.

Is Superman arguably the most powerful one? Yes. Is Wonder Woman arguably the most skilled in combat? Yes. Is Batman arguably the most intelligent one? Yes. Do they all have strong convictions and morals? Yes. Do they ALL have weaknesses and the capacity to have momentary lapses of judgement? Yes. Do they all stand strong as both individuals and united teammates? Yes.

Am I saying that the Beware the Superman trope is an overused one? Yes and no. Yes I am sick of it popping up almost everywhere in most western media. No, I don’t think it is without potential to be used as an actually useful plot device/character arc, especially if it extends beyond the “Superman” character template and applies to all manner of superheroes.

That’s just my opinion though.

Now Watching: DC's Tomorrowverse!

Would you believe that my other DC universe movie list is one of my better posts? Totally a DC girl, sorry not sorry Marvel. My movie partner let me know that DC was going to start a new universe of movies, so you know I had to jump in and keep up with it!

Link: Tomorrowverse - Wikipedia. Here is your list in order! I will keep this posted updated as movies come out!

Superman: Man of Tomorrow (2020)

This to me is very indicative of them rebooting the alternative universe but also making the heroes younger. Appealing to a younger audience? Not a bad movie.

Justice Society: World War II (2021)

You know in every universe you have to have Flash mess with the timeline to act as the introduction to the superhero group. It is a nice flashback to the past, and honestly I wish the random characters like Black Canary would get their own movie, they are great! Good movie.

Batman: The Long Halloween Part 1 (2021)

I watched this movie before but I rewatched it again as a proper order in the universe. So, this movie, as far as the tomorrowverse would go-introduces batman, gotham city, and all that it entails. The almost "alternative mood" and different animation style makes sense in universe.

Batman: The Long Halloween Part 2 (2021)

I watched this movie before but I rewatched it again as a proper order in the universe. This one finishes part 1. It establishes the proper placement for a lot of the major characters in this series. My next guess, or question, would be...when does batman get roped into the group?

Green Lantern: Beware My Power (2022)

This establishes a new Green Lantern to the group and starts to focus less on the players, more on the team. Not a bad movie.

Legion of Super-Heroes (2023)

This movie is interesting in the fact that it establishes a future point within the universe and has it play as part of the story. You also don't tend to see a lot of super girl, but the DC universes are always a little "superman and company" forward.

Justice League: War World (2023)

This was probably my favorite out of all of the movies. I was kind of wondering when you would start to have some bigger game picture plot come into play. Besides being the classic core of the group, excellent movie. Sets up for a great next film.

This, compared to the other universe, is young and still being added to. As new movies get added, I will update this post! Have you caught up yet? Which movie is your favorite?

[cranes-menagerie]

inspirations for Superman: Man of Tomorrow as well as overall set up

I am......

T I R E D

of the evil superman trope

my favorite superman comic is smashes the klan because it understands the character so so fucking well. Clark's personality was almost Identical to that of the superman Identity. My Adventures with Superman nailed not only Lois Lane but also stuff like the Daily Planet and Jimmy Olsen and hell, HIS FARMBOY DORKINESS

I'm also gonna do a reverse kingdom come

in kingdom come the older heroes stoop down to the younger heroes level and become darker and more brutal. In the titanoverse it's gonna be a reverse. Superman is gonna be a beacon of hope in a world full of dark and brutal heroes. He needs to stand out in a world of darkness.

I chose Christian Borle as lex's voiceclaim because his portrayal of Vox is both smug, overbearing but also shy and insecure of Alastor because people like him more than they like vox

similarly to what gunn is doing, Superman to me is a symbol of hope....like he is supposed to be. as someone who suffers with mental health issues, I want superman to be a character that is all powerful and has everything, but still uses it to be a beacon of hope and to tell you "hey, things are horrible right now, but you will get through this, everything will be ok"

I want to see second chances....this decision might be a tad controversial

I'm keeping the snyderverse actors for Clark and Bruce wayne.

The titanoverse is essentially gonna be "what if the snyderverse was faithful to the comics instead of edgy fanfiction" (except for the rest of the cast like jessie Eisenberg as lex "totally not the riddler" luthor and z!onist wonderwoman)

henry cavil is one of the best superman castings just...ever

he's dorky, he's got the voice, he loves the character and I think it really sucks how he wasn't given a second chance(though I also cannot wait to what David will bring to the role)

and same case with Bruce Wayne. Affleck was perfect for the role of bruce wayne but he needs to be more optimistic, one of my favorite things done with batman is the storyline of crisis of 2 earths. in that story Batman is shown that his opposite is the ultimate nihilist.

Batman is Batman because he cares about people and believes people can change, its why he looks for job opportunities for Harley, and why he sends people to Arkham and not jail.

as you can tell, these 2 characters mean so much to me and especially in the dark place I am in as well as a lot of other people are in,

we need a character like Superman

I'm gonna leave you all with this last quote

We need a hero, couragous sacrificing people, setting examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero, people line up for 'em, cheer for them, scream their names, and years later tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who told them to HOLD ON a second longer. I believe theres a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble. And finally gets us to die with pride.

that is what we NEED in a superman
