Superman/Batman #60

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

Reality as is so often in the DCU has been changed with the cities of Gotham and Metropolis having been apparently fused. Superman and Batman notice of course and are attacked due to being unknowns here. After easily surviving an attack by Commissioner White and his police they meet...



...the Justice Titans!

Mash Ups are fun.

We find out in the issue their secret ID names are

Aquaborg: Arthur "Art" Stone
Night Lantern: Hal Grayson.
Donna Wonder: Diana Troy
Hawkbeast: Gar Katar
Flash: Wally Allen
Star Canary's name is sadly not said in the issue.

The groups quickly reconcile and agree to work together and find out about Gothamopolis' mysterious recent killings.

But before that Superman and Batman meet one more interesting Justice Titan!



Terranado! I welcome our newest  DCU gynoid.

Thankfully she isn't a traitor from what I can tell in this universe.

Next a fun scene little scene with Night Lantern and Batman.




Bats then says "I just realized how MUCH they have in common"

And the rest of the issue shows the mysterious killer in Gothamopolis being DoomStroke who's apparently working for Lex Joker.

If her name's Diana Troy, where'd she get "Donna Wonder" from?

...I shouldn't pick.

[jackissuperfly.insanejournal.com]

Italian?

I got nothin'.

"It's like a dream"
"It's like a nightmare"

HAHAHHAHAHAHA GET IT? GET IT?

THEY ARE THINKING THE OPPOSITE BECAUSE THEY ARE OPPOSITES!!!
HAHAHAH

If the mash-up between Terra and Indigo isn't a traitor, I'll be very surprised.

"It's like a dream!"/"It's a nightmare." has me laughing so hard. Gothamopolis. This is hysterical. You bet Bruce would think it's a nightmare. I'm more surprised at Clark thinking it's like a dream. He's wished for Gotham/Metropolis mash-ups before? Why would he be so pleasantly surprised?

Lex Joker: Lex Luthor would not be amused.

Donna as in "Lady" in Italian perhaps

Or she just took a forename she liked.

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

Except she's a mashup between Terra and Red Tornado, so Indigo isn't a factor.

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

Terra and Red Tornado actually. Though I can kinda see an Indigo Terra fusion.

It's like a dream! Like it's so surreal.

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

Well yeah. It's one of the big things they tend to do with Supes and Bats narration bubbles.

[batmanexaminer.insanejournal.com]

I know...

It was real original for the first two arcs but it's gotten old and cliche now.

[runespoor7.insanejournal.com]

I need to watch those wacky free associations. I blame her haircut. It looks like Indigo's? A little?

[foxhack.insanejournal.com]

Oh god.

WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER FUCKING AMALGAM UNIVERSE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH

[runespoor7.insanejournal.com]

Ah. A nightmare. ;)

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

Almost a shame Night Lantern isn't a Blue Lantern.... :)

But I like the "Flying Grayson" angle

"I have a very different relationship with each of them... One of them I care for more deeply than anyone else in my life, the other one I frequently want to slap repeatedly!"

"Which one is which?"

"It varies from day to day"

[bluejaybirdie.insanejournal.com]

I like that Flash is *exactly* the same. Makes sense, since he's a titan and a JLA member, but it's still funny.

Night Lantern is my favorite. His costume reminds me of the DCU Nightwing costume! I thought it would be funnier if his name was Green Wing, though.

Lastly, the art on all of this is so pretty!

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

Virtually the same anyway. Oh that Wally Allen.

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

Indigo basically WAS a thematic rehash of Terra.

Introduced as a villain / "Redeemed" by team and joins / Serves a member /
Has a relationship with weird looking team member / Proves to have been a villain underneath all along / Dies

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

Well when you mention it that way. XD

[taggerung301.insanejournal.com]

man, indigo's death pissed me off

i liked her as a character and enjoyed the whole "I'm not human but I have a soul too" experience

making her evil made the Outsiders a hell of a lot less interesting to me

[jcbaggee.insanejournal.com]

I'm LOVING that Night Lantern's costume evokes the memory of Dick's DCAU costume!

[sandoz_iscariot.insanejournal.com]

For some reason I think "Aquaborg" is the funniest damn thing ever.

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

Well it didn't really make her evil. Indigo herself was good. We just found out she was a separate program who couldn't stop the main Brainiac 8 program in her body from taking control.

But yeah. With her gone the Outsiders blew chunks. Well looks like she'll be doing something in the future but if she's Indigo or Brainiac 8 is up for debate.

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

HE'S THE BIG BAD AQUA BORG, AQUABORG!

[nagaoka.insanejournal.com]

Huh, turns out we were both right, icon_uk.

I like how sparkly Donna Wonder's hair is.

Next I want to see Opal City and Bludhaven mashed up. Or Bludhaven and Bete Noire mashed up. That place would suck.

[seawolf10.insanejournal.com]

*groan*

This idea could have been interesting with a better writer. As it is, it's making me cringe.
