Oh great, another dead Superman.

[superfangirl1]

Superman okay and in good health on the next page. As it shows the Justice League being held captive in special cells to supress their powers by Amanda Waller at the Suicide Squad headquarters.

[mistersandman]

It was good of them to let us know in the second issue that the events of this series will be instantly retconned.

[thehood]

It's not a retcon if it's part of the story. He's not really dead anyway. That isn't even the final page.

[joetuss]

Wait, what?! Since when is she a energy vamp?

[thehood]

She has always had the ability to drain heat.

[q99]

Her being one is why she was a Firestorm villain.

It's just recent writers often forgot that part and simply had her be a normal cold villain.

[joetuss]

And wouldn't the sun just restore him? She'd have to sit there all day draining him, wouldn't she?

[katefan]

Sure, but that would take a while so for a little while Supes is vulnerable.

[cainofdreaming]

So, Superman stores the energy of the Sun in his body as heat? He's literally hot?

O-kayyy.

[katefan]

Perhaps he doesn't come across as being hot because his skin acts as super insulation.

Hey, if writers keep going on about how his cells store "solar energy" I don't have a problem with the writers working within the constraints of these particular comic book physics.

[cainofdreaming]

Eh, that's just weird. It's like if us regular people had chicken, mushroom or lutefisk stored in their cells.

Lutefisk. Brr.

[gnarll]

Taking down Superman does not seem to fit Wallers agenda. I mean, he is often the only line of defense against threat she just doesn't have the resources to be relevant to.

[bruinsfan]

But, but, movie synergy!!!

[thehood]

He's alive and it makes sense in context.

Plus, Waller doesn't trust any of the capes.

[joetuss]

This is going to be one of those PIS books. There is no reason why Supes, WW, and Flash shouldn't be speed blitzing everyone to hell.

[thehood]

Says the guy that hasn't read the issue. I mean, you know that the scans posted here are never all that happened in the issue.

[joetuss]

So did the JL win the fight? Because given their status as the best and brightest, and the fact that they have not one, but two planet buster god like beings on the team, who if written correctly could have wrapped this up in a matter of seconds, they should win pretty easily. How can anyone take this book seriously?

[thehood]

And Killer Frost is a Firestorm villain, so what's your point?

The SQ in this book aren't the exact same line up as the film, they have several guys that can take on the league.

[joetuss]

Nope, not buying it chief, sorry....Take care.

[jaxjyls]

It's pure plot-induced stupidity is what it is

[joetuss]

Thank you

I admit, I haven't been following the nu52 Suicide Squad at all... but the Waller here seems a might more vicious than the one I'm familiar with. The Wall from the Ostrander days wouldn't kill the whole team just to keep the JLA from capturing them, nor would she treat the heroes like so many pawns. Ostrander-Wall was a pretty terrible person, but she had lines she wouldn't cross, and understood the value of the super-hero community.

Granted, that didn't even hold under other writers afterwards, so what do I know?
