Simply put, what do we think to the new relaunch of the franchise? I for one am happy I can now collect from scratch as I've loved batman comics for a LONG time but could never catch up... now i can just start again

[JDub]

I still have mixed feeling about it. I haven't been able to keep up on as much of the new stuff as I wanted though. I mainly read Batman stuff before the new 52 but haven't been too impressed with the New 52 Batman stuff. Its not bad but I don't like that they did change stuff but not really. Like Green Lantern picked right off where it left off but Batman stuff isn't the same but its not drastically different like Superman, Wonder Woman, etc. It just seems like a waste to mess with one of the few lines that was working. Now none of ot has been bad so far just not as impressive as other books. What I don't like the most is how they changed the relasionship between Bruce and Damion. After Bruce came back it seemed like they were over their father daddy problems and getting along now they are back to square one for no reason and this time its worse then the first time around. Green Lantern is good as always. Justice League has been interesting. The story as moved kind of slow so far but I liked #2 a lot over #1. I was never a big Superman fan and never really ready any Superman stuff but I've been reading Action Comics because I like Morrison and its been my favorite new 52 stuff so far.first issue of Aquaman was great second one was ok but seems like it will be a good series. Red Lanterns is ok, I only read the first two issues. But I hate that it seems like the first 5 issues or so are just backstory on differant haracters, I want sthe story that they are setting up to actually start not a whole arc of backstories on single characters. Overall I think its been a sucsess though, I've enjoyed more then I disliked so far.

as a DC fan i'm loving the new 52. i am currently getting:

Batman: Dectective Comics
Batman And Robin
The Dark Knight
Batman
Green Lantern
Green Arrow
Red Lanterns
The New Guardians
Catwoman
Batwoman
Batgirl
Justice League International
Justice League
Teen Titans
Legion of Super Heros
Flash
& Birds of Prey

so far Green lantern is awesome and i'm really digging the new change for superman. i hoping for good things to continue with DC. I will say this the catwoman and Detective comics are a little bit on the stronger side violence with joker cutting his face of and the sex between batman and catwoman at the end of catwoman #1. but other then that, it's all good.

I'm currently getting Batman, Detective Comics, Batman and Robin and Batman Dark knight... what can i say? I'm a fan boy for a reason

[JDub]

Right now I'm buying:

Justice League
Action Comics
Batman
Batman and Robin
Green Lantern
Aquaman

I also bought:

Red Lanterns (only the first two so far, don't know if I will keep buying)
GL New Guardians (only got the first one so far)

Some of the #1s I read were Flash, Swamp Thing, Superman, Batgirl, Batwing, Detective Comics, Hawkman, Batwing, Catwoman, OMAC, and Deathstroke. Flash and Detective is probably the only ones I'd start buying.

Perhaps it'll change after time, but I'm not digging it much.  I really don't get why DC feels it needs to constantly relaunch itself.  The books that I enjoyed are either no longer there or drastically changed.  I miss the Secret Six, Stephanie Brown as Batgirl, Barbra Gordon as Oracle, Dick Grayson as a Batman ect.  I don't mind characters being re-imagined when its say like the Ultimate line, but not in the main books where characters have years of history and development.

I've been able to read all of the new 52 comics thus far, at least the number 1s and 2s cause I know enough people that everybody's reading something from there, and I've determined my favorites so far:

Batgirl (Gail Simone ftw)
Justice League International (Booster Gold ftw, although I could've done without the costume update)
Green Lantern (Sinestro and Hal Jordan buddy cop movie wtf??)
Nightwing (an incredibly fun read with murder mystery overtones)
Batwing (never thought I would like it, but it reminds me of old school Spidey vs impossible odds)
Aquaman (the first issue was awesome, but didn't dig the second as much)
Legion Lost (nice 'we are out of place' story)
Action Comics (I am liking the story arc out of Grant Morrison so far at least)

Other honorable mentions (or comics that are cool that just don't fit in my budget):
Batman and Robin
I, Vampire
Suicide Squad
Green Lantern Corps
Wonder Woman
Legion of Super Heroes
Teen Titans
Detective Comics
Fury of Firestorm
Animal Man
Swamp Thing
Justice League

A note about Justice League (avoid if you hate spoilers!) (cause I don't know how to hide the text, not a lot of experience with html)




I don't think I'm gonna like it too much if they keep with Supes' apparent lack of caring when it comes to the parademons!  They are living creatures and it used to be a fundamental part of Kal-El's character that he refused to kill under any circumstances.  That's what made the story in the late 80s early 90s where he killed the three Phantom Zone villains that much more poignant, that there was a point where he felt he had to do it.  It makes more sense than Batman continuing to let the Joker live anyway.  Sorry, rant over.

Ive actually thought about picking up Batman now since the release of the new 52

[Wallemania4life]

so far i'm still with the titles i talked about in the above post, i'm really enjoying the babs back as Batgirl and the new teen titans as well, i just found out a couple weeks ago that DC is making a Season 11 Smallville comic series which i say HELL'S YEAH!, the only one that's kinda blah to me is JL international maybe it's just me what does eveyone else think?

I did not mind the Babs back has Batgirl and how they retconned it. Atleast it made sense. It's not like she made a deal with the devil and gave up her true love to walk again. 

I'd have to admit I'd enjoy watching Sesame Street if it was a lot more violent. I mean, who wouldn't want to buy a "Sickle-Me Elmo" doll?
