DC Made their official announcement announcing that several of their past female creators will have projects coming up. Also that they have new projects as well as attempting to work with Other female creators.

Right now, it's talk. But, they made an official statement. its out there now, and the validity will be based on what they do in the next few months.

for Legality....

The first of this mentions Thomas killing a Hush; with Bruce dead, that must have been an interesting dynamic..

[jlbarnett]

maybe in this case the Elliots roles also reversed

[k_red]

This is not the typical reaction of a mother to her hurt child. Also, please someone tell me that is not Zatanna's real costume. What the hell are they thinking?

[shadowpsykie]

she didn't hurt him. She's in shock. the man who attacked the wayne's didn't Hit them. He hit Bruce instead.

that's Zatanna's Flashpoint costume not her real one

[arbre_rieur]

That's Flashpoint Zatanna's costume.

[khamelea]

Someone is having fun with the emphasis on pants, I think.

[turtlefu]

The typical reaction to a child dying also doesn't include turning into a serial killer.

(It's not a spoiler if it's on the cover)

If the Didiot had actually SAID during the con, "We have several projects coming" instead of being insulting to fans, I'd care. At this point, I'm pretty much 'meh.'

[nezchan]

At that point, I'm betting he didn't have several projects. My guess is that WB, who has a little more ability in public relations, saw that this stuff was starting to blow up and reminded them who wears the half-pants half-thong combo. Then he had several projects.

Flashpoint Zatanna: Screwing over practicality, gravity, duct tape, safety pins, and young children's eyes

[marco]

I love your icon~.

[darkknightjrk]

I agree with everything but the last part--I doubt most young children would object. :O

[nezchan]

Flashpoint Zatanna: Because Star Sapphires are too modest.

Yeah, why did they change her costume

[jazzypom]

I thought it was classy, with a twist of saucy sexuality (the fishnet stockings). For the new one, I don't even know how she walks in that thing.

[marco]

It's kind of ironic that we have a scan of a female character being so useless when we have news of DC's confirmed "(re)commitment" to female characters and creators. x');

But I'm interested in where this will go. I think they really need to start treating their female characters like characters instead of disposable eyecandy though, that'd be a good palce to start to me. And if they had more female writers in the place place, they wouldn't have to confirm any 'commitments'.

awesome Tumblr post by the way...

[shadowpsykie]

the batman post? Teehee I owe it to this community :)

[nezchan]

Personally I won't consider this newfound "commitment" to be official until we have books on the shelves (or the online store, whatever).

[liara_shadowsong]

Hi! Did not forget that I am going to try to draw that. Haven't had time to do anything just yet, though. Also, I am hoping that this supposed commitment to female characters and creators is genuine, and executed properly. Also, what in flying fuck is up with Zatanna's new costume? At least the old one made sense in context, as essentially a stage costume.

[shadowpsykie]

Hey Liara! No pressure :) I hope this commitment lasts... And yeah... I know... I just chalk it up to the "Mirror universe Rule" eviiiiiil alternate universe = evil, slutty, dark, with a high probability of goetees... And a little bit of bisexuality...

[thokstar]

Do you know what would have been better than announcing "We have new projects involving women creators"? Actually announcing new projects involving women creators.

[detective_deathman08]

I cant wait to read the rest of this issue. A part of me will miss the flashpoint-verse, 3 issues isnt enough sometimes.

[detective_deathman08]

Wait wait Felicia Henderson...um more female creators is good but come on now she is a great tv writer but her comicbook work not so much.

[biod]

Yeah, I have heard nothing but good things about Fringe, but her work on Teen Titans was. . . pretty terrible.
Who knows though, she might wow us yet.

[red_xera]

I can't believe that's Zee's Flashpoint costume. What is that, panty-pants?

[schala_kid]

That's cool, although I would have been more excited if they were more respectful and less dicks about the whole thing during the panels.

[jeyl]

Psps. Mothers. Who needs them?..... wait.

*Remembers the Green Lantern movie*

Oh! NOBODY!

[arysteia]

I'll see your Green Lantern and raise you a Magneto. He needed his pretty badly in First Class...
