So is Dick's signature move "Bat Steel"?
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Okay, so I haven't read DC comics in a while...and I'm torn between glad I haven't and...just being totally fucking confused.
So, okay, wait...(edited for possible spoilerynessosity) the Justice League went all Thought Police and mind-wiped some people (including Batman) and covered it up? Okay.
Blue Beetle is dead? Because Maxwell Lord, of all people, killed him when BB discovered Lord's plots to kill all superhumans?
I'm sorry...the friggin' ROCK OF ETERNITY has been destroyed and the wizard Shazam IS DEAD? WHAT ABOUT CAPTAIN MARVEL?!?!?!?
Wonder Woman killed Maxwell Lord?!
Donna Troy is back?! Why?
Rann and Thanagar are at war?
MULTIPLE EARTHS AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!
Okay, so...Nightwing is a model. Is Batman, perhaps, a dental hygienist now? Is Green Arrow moonlighting as an off-brand Chippendale dancer type or something? Has Clark given up the Daily Planet in favor of hawking a self-published book of crapalicious "poetry" on street corners in Haight-Ashbury?
Are the Earth-2 Supes and Earth Prime Superboy still around?
I feel so lost and confuzzled. My head, it spins; the world, she is upside down and turvy-topsy.
I was thinking..."Maybe I'll go back and get some comics and see what's happening with my favoritest heroes." Now I'm thinking "Stick to the booze, you fool! The booze! No, don't think about Superman! Booze!"
...ow.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The real question is whether Superman is wearing stripey tights.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
MM, (not white-fonted b/c it's been a month or so), Green Arrow is now MAYOR of Star City. No, really. Fuck-the-establishment Ollie Queen is MAYOR of his town.
Earth-2 Supes, as far as we can tell, actually died at the end of Infinite Crisis (as did E-2 Lois).
Superboy Prime is in some sort of Kryptonite prison being guarded by the Lantern Corps. I think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
NY Times talks about diversity in comics. They have a reference to 52 #3, but nothing else looks that recent.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I agree with you completely about Logan. Do you write a great emotional speech for Clint Eastwood? Not so much. Plus, he’s in EVERY BOOK – I think he just joined the JLA, and for some reason he appears in the revised Penguin edition of “Little Dorrit” – and every great writer has had a crack at him.
Bwah! Next up for Wolverine: Riverdale!
