Hello tumblr I turned Tim Drake into a cat

God fucking Christ superboy man of tomorrow was so fucking good. I literally got it last night and finished it immediately (it’s not that long and I got the collected edition)

Goooddss I know it’s not anything particularly special in terms of character writing or world building and yea I wish it wasn’t set over the course of what? Two weeks? Would have made more sense to me for kon to spend more time with the cosmateers I feel like it would have hit harder emotionally for him and would have gotten a stronger sense of betrayal (as the audience) at Trav’s ‘decent’( he was kinda always like that?)* also we could have gotten more pria and the bird guy (can’t remember his name rn) would have loved to see Kon and them really being friends! I think him bonding and making new lasting connections within the new universe would have been fun to see and added to the themes of him more on and beginning to actually make a place for himself in the new universe

*dc also has a habit of retconning characters who go on to be ‘villains’ early actions to make it aline more with were they end up (see Jason Todd being made out to be the violent/irresponsible robin when he absolutely fucking wasn’t) and idk I feel like it kinda strips a lot of the nuance away? Idk they love the concept of an anti-hero but ‘good people’ being capable of terrible things is too much for them apparently. (Idk I’m not smart enough to put this coherently)

Comics this week ?

Batman #137 - Jimenez art is carrying this hard. If he wasn't drawing this I would skip it. Bruce's actions make sense given what Zdarsky has been doing with him, but the rest of the Batfamily are morons.

Steelworks #4 - Superbooks don't get enough credit for how well they're handling interconnectivity right now. Genesis pops back up here and is relevant to the plot, but it's handled in a way that is surprisingly organic. Dorn has shown improvement with each issue, DC should give him another book after this if he's interested.

Superboy: Man of Tomorrow #5 - Trav is my favorite new villain for Conner in ages. Such a delightful little sociopath, and this issue was extremely 90s in an entertaining way when it comes to the fight scenes. Conner using his TTK to deflect Trav's blasts, ripping off Trav's arm (it's not something Clark would ever do but that's why I liked it!), Trav rigging his own arm to blow, then transferring his consciousness into the Kryptonian clone body was great. One more issue to go!

The Riddler: Year One #6 - Great ending to a great mini. Makes me want to rewatch The Batman.

Birds of Prey #1 - Solid first issue, but it didn't wow me. Normally I'd keep reading through the first arc, but I have to cut back so this gets dropped.

Fire & Ice #1 - Beautiful art, decent comedy book. But again, I gotta cut back so I'll drop this.

Blue Beetle #1 - Mandatory to read Graduation Day if you want to read this, but the quality is at the same level as the mini so that’s not a problem for me! Bummer that the movie wasn’t a bigger success so we could hopefully get a longer run. I liked seeing old Ted foes show up, I’m curious if they’ll be bringing in Jenny Kord from the movie here too since they already moved Jaime and his cast to Palmera City.

City Boy #4 - Pak played up Cameron's moral grayness, and this is the issue that focuses on that. He's practically a supervillain in how he enslaves Bludhaven to attack Nightwing, with the only saving grace being that he was trying to do right by someone else. That, and I couldn't help feeling bad for him when he saw that his mom ditched him because she didn't want him. Heavy stuff, hope the Swamp Thing showing up is Levi. He had family issues too, I bet he and City Boy could have a good back and forth about dealing with your parents.

Immortal X-Men #15 - Even Gillen is starting to decline in enjoyment for me at this point. Still I think end is in sight for this book, and I want to see what the plan is for Xavier since he’s going to get off his ass at some point.

Fantastic Four #11 - Everlovin’ Thing indeed. Nice to see Ben be the one using his brains to get the F4 out of a trap.

Dr. Strange #7 - Strange has always been his own worse enemy, making that literally true has been quite exciting. Kind of funny how much Marvel touts that they’ve never rebooted and everything is canon when they still pick and choose what to acknowledge. Feels odd to not bring up the OTHER time Strange destroyed himself out of desperation to achieve his goal, during Hickman’s New Avengers run.

Scarlet Witch #8 - Winning a duel of words with Loki? Hopefully the Wanda fans will take that feat as much cooler than a magic contest. Oh and Joseph is being used as a pawn again, since they beta you over the head with that this issue I’m sure no one is surprised. I am looking forward to how the fight with Hexfinder goes. Wanda could use a good rival and she shows potential.

name/alias: trav

timezone: cst

Pronouns: he/him

favourite tropes to write: tbh anything messy with a dash of angst is good in my book. i also love found families, friends to lovers and slow burn relationships! 

who’s your favourite dc character, and why?: personally love the riddler and i’m excited to see a new hopefully serious adaptation of the character in the new film! i love that he is just like…chaotic and fun and i think his villainy is so nuanced and green is my power color anyways so here we are. 

if you could pick one dc location to live, where would it be and why?: gotham is too scary for me, so i would say metropolis because it seems a little safer. ooo or alantis because, well, duh. 

what are you most looking forward to on godsend?: the continued creativity that has already started! it has been amazing to think of ways that we can reinterpret these characters and this universe with one another, and i’m excited to be collaborating with such creative and talented writers.

share your favourite meme/a meme that describes you/the last meme you saved:

This is dope!!! If Alfred was a rapper.

[ghosty-schnibibit]

slightly shorter than usual liveblog for a shorter taz ep!

my thoughts going into this are that i'm a) still raw from the last ep, which i have not gotten a chance to relisten to yet, b) scared because of travis's "collaborative" tweet like what does that even mean trav, and c) tired from binging all of good omens last night, god it was so good guys please take this as my recommendation to go watch it. anyways, on to the new ep!

"one last lunar interlude" fear.jpg

already starting off with griffin then okay

so it's kind of like a ttazz? oh wait nm

hmmm... idk how to feel about this, this is kind of weird but i'm willing to trust griffin on this new format 

oh dang, new dude! i do not know who this dude is and i am worried!

oh straight into it with the new dude then

agent haynes? like the furniture store???

oh i do not like the villian vibes i'm getting from this guy

this is so bad, this is so fucking bad oh my god

aaand we're back to griffin, nice

where the hell did everyone go?????

i was gonna say this clip sounds familiar, this is from like ep. 2 or 3 if i remember right? the music laid over it is new though and it gives the scene a lot more of a sinister vibe

i was nervous at first but i'm liking the recontextualization of the old clips through the new music

oh and this clip is from the beginning of the water arc

and this one is from the first lunar interlude

... end of music, and back to new stuff :P

god i fucking love you duck newton

MINERVA! :D

h e l i c h o p t e r

drake? oh right sarah

and we're back to old clips... i think this was the vision from the tree arc? oh no wait it's from the water arc

okay, this is the flashback from the tree arc

and here's minerva's first appearance from ep. 1 or 2

and this is from the penultimate ep of the bear arc

all the clips with ned in them are making me sad :'(

and this is the bit at the end of the tree arc :'(

... i forgot about the disease, that's gotta be important

and here's the last lunar interlude

and the bits from the last two episodes :)

oh damn, i might... i might be able to go to the dc one, i'd have to check with my parents because of transport but that's only about 8 hours by greyhound bus... *sigh* probably won't be able too because of a combo of overprotective mom + financially abusive dad 

back to new dude :o

... so agent stern might still be on our side, interesting

good summation of the last ep lmao

i feel like 90% of this liveblog has been me identifying which clips are from what ep so i'm gonna stop doing that

WAIT A MINUTE... IS BILLY ONE OF THE LIGHT CREATURES THEN??? IS THAT WHAT IT MEANT BY PARTITION?????

god every clip with ned hurts so much after last ep :'(

the fact that it sounds like it's stopping to listen to someone after each clip of dialog is still feels super significant

this whole scene is still so surreal and i need to know more

more new content time :)

aww aubrey baby :'(

... was that indrid?

loving the folly work this ep

oh it's janelle nm

WAIT WHAT IS GOING ON

this music is both scarring me and getting me super excited

aww the clip with the mom :(

all the clips from the first two episodes stand out a lot because griffin had a cold at the time lmao

we've only got about 12 minutes left and i’m nervous

i forgot all about the interpreter stuff, dang

can i just acknowledge real quick that griffin has gotten so much better at audio mixing? because i remember when he used clips from moonlighting during ep 66 in balance you could hear music from the original scene under the new music and i'm hearing none of that here

god the thacker audio is still so creepy

OH DANG IT'S ALL ELECTRONIC LIKE THE LAST ABOMINATION

god that was creepy as shit

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK

CLINT'S GOING TO BE PLAYING AS THACKER!!!!!

final thoughts: i was a bit nervous of the idea of a clip show format type episode at the beginning but i think it was a really good thing in light of the up coming finale, i had forgotten a ton of stuff that (now that griffin has drawn attention to them) i know is going to be addressed and i needed to keep in mind for the most emotional impact. also super excited that clint is going to play thacker! i was worried how they were going to fit him back in now that ned is gone and this seems like a perfect fit!
