[What did he mean by this?]

Why would Watchman attack the DC univerze?

Manhatten was bored

Why would Watchman attack the DC univerze?

Manhattan is evil now because Johns read Watchmen incredibly lazily and superficially. Also because the entire crossover was conceived for publicity rather than for any creative reason (read the next-to-last paragraph).

 

[Volimar]

Can't see how this can be anything but laughable

"That's the real joke." - Every character from the Watchmen movie.

 

[kylecoley182]

but who watches the watchmen?

 

[caliph95]

but who watches the watchmen?

Don't you mean who monitor the monitors?.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

When was The Flash considered a "detective"?

I don't keep up with the character really but I never got that impression from him. Isn't The Question the other big detective character?

Enlongated Man is a detective.

 

[Schweinehund]

Only 4 issues on a biweekly schedule? Hopefully they're meaningful. I want an infinite crisis style build up again.

 

[Dalek]

no, Kings Batman completely ignored it.

Detective Comics is part of the big picture though.

 

[Einchy]

It's crazy how long it's taking for them to get to this. I only really care about Batman comics in the DC, so it's not really a big issue for me, but I am really interested in seeing how they deal with the Watchmen now being part of the DCU.

 

[kylecoley182]

I bet Syders summer batman event is going to deal with the three jokers

 

[Einchy]

But what if they were...4 Jokers?

Barry? He's mostly always been described as a detective sort of character.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

Other than the Comedian, Killing Joke Joker, and Snyder Joker what are the other prevailing theories for the 3 Jokers?

That the plotline will be dropped quietly with no comment.

Watch Batman get the identity crisis treatment after this.

And I'm cursing myself for even saying it, but I hope DC forgets planetary exists

Isn't Barry Allen's day job literally a scientist who works in crime investigation?

 

[Frozenprince]

Please god just give me Tim back.

So we can't get another reprint of the omnibus. Hell no.

 

[Zubz]

I was wondering when they were going to move forward with this.

 

[ZeroX03]

Im in, love Rebirth. I'm not super sensitive about Watchmen though.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

You say that now, but when this all ends with Dr. Manhattan erasing the events of Watchmen and DC letting it lapse into print to coincide with that!

Spoiler

I know it won't happen. Even if Watchmen never sold a single copy more, they'd keep it in print just to fuck with Alan Moore

Veidt was Hank Hall all along.

But what if they were...4 Jokers?

Crisis on Infinite Jokers

 

[Tamanon]

Two greatest detectives? I don't see Detective Chimp in that lineup!

 

[Memento Mori]

I bet Syders summer batman event is going to deal with the three jokers

If it's not the three Jokers it's probably the Court of Owls thing that was foreshadowed in Batman #51.

 

[LordOfLore]

Think a reprint is rumored for later this year.

He and Batman already teamed up in the Holiday Special.

 

[CaptainofIndustry]

Awesome. Jason Fabok is one of my favorite artists in comics today.

 

[HStallion]

I can't wait to see the reactions to the big blue guys dick.

Are there any hilarious reactions from Alan Moore on all of this? When that man vents his rage at DC its incredible to behold.

 

[mechashiva]

Always loved the Dr Manhattan line about creating some life
Loved the before Watchmen Dr Manhattan book
Ready to see what Johns does here

 

[plushyp]

Only 4 issues on a biweekly schedule? Hopefully they're meaningful. I want an infinite crisis style build up again.

It's been a year since the button was first revealed in Rebirth so this weekly dose after all that time is perfect. Although I wish an artist similar to Fabok was used or someone like Porter since both have wildly different styles.

Yep-just came here to post that:

EXCLUSIVE: A SPEEDSTER RETURNS IN DC’S BATMAN/FLASH WATCHMEN CROSSOVER

I'm over the moon!

First step in bringing back the best super team, the JSA. Believe.

 

[JeTmAn81]

Are they still teasing the prospect of Watchmen in the main DCU? I thought it would've happened by now.

This is the next big step since Rebirth #1. There have been vague hints since then.

Yeah, IIRC they've stated the heroes won't even meet Manhattan until the next "act" and they hinted the first one will last maybe 2 years. 1 year left.

 

[Platy]

Current covers:

Is that last one Flashpoint batman ?

 

[FullMetaltech]

Is that last one Flashpoint batman ?

Sure looks like it.

 

[plushyp]

Reverse Flash and Thomas Batman were both key players in Flashpoint. Wonder how they're going to play into the story or if its just a variant cover thing. Anyway, it's been more than half a decade since Flashpoint... damn.

Technically the end of Flashpoint should've when Dr. Manhattan screwed with time. They went right from Flashpoint to New 52.

 

[LordOfLore]

The final cover when moving.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Alan Moore just puked. 928328932 times.

I'm right there with him.

And it stinks.

boo hoo.

You shut your facehole.

That article is on point.

 

[VeeP]

Event has been great, and Rebirth has been amazing.

Haters keep crying.
