Got this in the mail this morning, it's the best issue of the main book so far and I think people will actually kind of like it.
>>152118392>reading single issues
>>152118417Yeah I'm cool like that, thanks for noticing.
>>152118392You can get books mailed to you?Also who advances to the semis?
>>152118492Can you show who won between Zatanna and Joker?
>>152118492I buy my books direct, so I put the order in months in advance for any given month, on discount usually, I ordered this in like november I think, for me if I get 4 or more books I save more than I pay on shipping compared to buying from my local. Only downside is that I get the entire months pull all at once, so I often get books fairly late.
>>152118565>Expecting anyone but joker to winHe still got rorepme rekoj in his back pocket
>>152118583Do you order through dc or how do you do that is my question
>>152118604Oh, well there are websites that do it, I use an Australian service called comicbookeroo, you'd have to look into it yourself, but no it's not through dc it's a general comic store.
>>152118583>It's gonna come down to emperor joker vs superman for the finals. I hate snyder and his jonkular wank
>>152118492Come on, you need him to tell you? It's all so predictable. Luthor and Superman are both obvious.Joker needs to stay around till Batman makes his big return after KnightFight.Wonder Woman needs to stay to face off against Absolute WW next issue.
>>152118626Too late, they already used that version of the Joker in this issue.
>>152118583If it ends up Superman vs Batman, that'll be so boring. Literally any other fight would be funner. Lex vs Wonder Woman, Superman vs Wonder Woman, Lex vs Batman, anything else
>>152118667I think that's going to happen, there is a scene that flashes back to them playing that game night, and it is intimated that Bruce pushes people to "push you to win as an act of love, even if it makes you hate him", to me that is clearly foreshadowing.
>>152118701Wasn't Diana playing too?
>>152118845Yes but shes jobbing to joker
>>152118626Batman is going to come back from Knightfight and help take out Joker in the last or second-to-last issue. It'll come down to Superman and Luthor
>>152118904>Implying we won't get batman vs superman shoehorned in somehowJust think we can have dkr batman vs superman
i just wanna fast forward to the Legion being back and in their book again
>>152118880Maybe Batman does the thing during her fight so she wins against him, and then she fights the winner of Lex vs Supes. That said, Lex beating the fuck out of Joker and winning would make me become diamonds
>>152118984We already know superman is gone post k.o. so he is probabky gonna win
>>152118634Is there a once per round rule?
>>152118626It was a 2v2, Zatanna brought Constantine and Emperor Joker brought Batkek
>>152119198That rule was just for the fight month rounds, there is a workaround/handwave that he gets for this issue that is Joker specific.
>>152119213Batkek winning over Constantine makes me sad
>>152119213We're all fights this round 2 v 2?
>>152119282Yeah
>>152119289>>152119289What were the other teams?
>>152119282Going by leaksGuy brought HalSuperman brought ShazamLex Luthor brought SupergirlAquaman brought HawkmanWonder Woman brought Big BardaCyborg brought Connor Hawke (FUCKING WHY)
>>152118583I hate this event so far but I wanna see how it all ends, Guy and Aquaman getting new abilities and power boosts and shit after this event interests meThe event should've been actually as initially advertised, a tournament arc, with a smaller overall roster (literally just the Justice League, some JSA guys, a Titans rep, a couple solo heroes and your wildcard Lex and Joker entries would've been fine) instead of the clusterfuck we got
>>152119316This is accurate, can confirm am OP.
>>152119330I'd be more interested if the roster was even more fucking crazy. If the usual suspects had a disadvantage or got cheaped out early, you'd see new people find different ways to win against crazy overpowered foes. That gives it a real manga tournament arc feel
>>152119316The guy Cyborg brought was cool back before DC decided his sexuality would be his sole character traitDunno what he's supposed to do against Wonder Woman though, he's a Batfamily level fighter
>>152119390Cyborg infused him with nanobots and also used his programming to immitate his fighting style? It's honestly very stupid I didn't like this part of the book.
>>152119330>>152119381The Trinity and maybe a couple other JL/JSA guys are the only main heroes that should be there, also there should be way more cosmic and supernatural characters here and fewer street level folks. Also fuck Joker, get Sinestro or whatever in there instead.
>>152119527>>152119330In defense of Joker being here, given the gimmick is that characters can use ANY form they have across various canons and timeline even the Joker makes sense given his historyI wanted Zee to win but Emperor Joker is kind of too big NOT to include in this story
>>152119559The "characters turning into any version of themselves" gimmick is a fun idea admittedly, sure. Don't really share your sentiment about Emperor Joker as we just got rid of him but I get it.
>>152118955It's getting a new book soonJoshua Williamson is writing it though who I know not everyone likes, he's very hit or miss imo
I still think this event was supposed to be a tie in for a video game that got cancelled or something, it has that weird promotional tie in feel to it
>>152119672I really doubt NRS would've been on board with Samantha Strong, Sabrina Spellman, or Annabelle in one of their fighting games
>>152119672With how bad Warner Bros gaming division has been doing it wouldn't surprise me if this was supposed to be an injustice 3 tie in thing, but I lean towards that not being true, I think it's just Snyder trying to do shonen tropes to bring in that audience.
>>152119690I don't know if you've played an NRS game but they all have loads and loads of cameo fighters, injustice 2 had the ninja turtles and hellboy.
>>152119413Does Cyborg finally go full Cyberion again where he can kidnap the Titans, tank the League and eat the moon because he's feeling lonely?
>>152119690That is absolutely the sort of thing NRS would be down to do actually
>>152119559Zee winning and getting some cool power up as the reward like promised would've been fun. Would give more reason for her to keep getting runs. She just had one though so I am a bit greedy
>>152119900Guy and Aquaman are getting power ups due to whatever happens at the end of this series despite getting knocked out here too, maybe Zatanna gets something too
>>152119984That makes me happy, Aquaman could really use it. Hell I'm still hoping we get some Absolute Aquaman tease at some point
>>152118632Not seeing Sam vs Lex. Might be that box that isn't filled in. It would be funny if he lost to her. He WAS looking fuckin' terrified, like he was at a disadvantage and scrambling for his life in that preview.
>>152120030I get the impression if they do Absolute Aquaman he'll be a character in the Wonder Woman book and not have his own ongoing or limited.
>>152119873>>152119714Ed Boon is VERY vocal on the kind of guest characters he's pro and against Superheroes?SureTraditional slashers?SureFurry characters?NoHe said no to fucking Mask showing up, he wouldn't take Sam seriously for a fighting gameAnnabelle is also too small to join the roster given how NRS makes their characters through motion capture
>>152120045With what she's doing right now, I can see that. Maybe he'd get a mini like how Green Arrow is getting one (somehow)
>>152119655It's gonna be like some mega merged legion isn't it? That's the way prime figured out to save them by merging the 4 timelines.
>>152119316>Could choose any titan>Including beast boy, Starfire, raven, and Wally.>Chooses Ollie's gay son Victor deserved to lose desu
>>152120180>gayHe's asexualHe doesn't want to sleep with anybody
>>152120134Yeah most likelyWell Bendis' Legion looks like it got pretty thoroughly annihilated but who cares about them
>>152120681bendis brainy and gold lantern are still kicking right?
>>152119413Why was Cyborg even here then, his fights have sucked assSwamp Thing just gave up against him because Cyborg talked about friendship or whatever and now this
>>152120191In the black community, they call that gay.
>>152120066Well, fuck HIM. Anthro/Lycanthrope characters are the only way to make his shit fighters interesting.
>>152120066>Furry characters?>Nodidnt he put the turtles in
>>152121281They're still capeshit and fit more in a superhero fighting game than Samantha Strong
>>152119213>BatkekIf he shows up /co/ is going to shit itself
>>152121334The spoilers are out, he does
>>152121334He did but it was a fakeout.
>>152121334If they do, it'll be artificial. Nobody cares about this gay shit.
>>152120180Cyborg couldn't choose any Titan. It had to be a previous tournament fighter and we know none of Nightwing/Starfire/Raven/Beast Boy/Wally/Donna participated in the tournament because they are all in the tie-ins.Although the way the issue was written made me think Scott Snyder thought Connor Hawke was a member of the Titans at some point, which just...isn't true.
>>152122365>it had to be someone in the tournament>joker can call bwl from fortnightman the heart is super pissed at bruce huh
>>152118583final fight should be superman vs wonder woman for maximum despair kino
>>152118392OP here, if I'd know it was going to take this long for a rip of the book to come out I'd have just scanned it this morning, I think it'll be up very soon at this point though.
>>152122808Maybe no one's ripping it because the entire concept of this event is plumbing whole new depths of retardation.
>>152122836Say what you want about it, I'd probably agree, but it definitely has interest and a lot of normie fans (well, normie by the standard of niche comic book fans)
>>152122836You say that about every event
>>152118583I know Jokerwank is inevitable but I'd prefer if Batman came back and dealt with him to give Diana the win so the final is Supes vs Wondy instead of Supes vs Joker featuring Batman
>>152119213> Emperor Joker brought Batkekbut he hates him? Why would he do that
>>152122808>>152122836>>152122875Give it timeDemand meets results
>>152122942Because it was a fakeout, it wasn't actually Batkek it was an illusion.
>>152122918I would like that. Can't remember the last time they actually fought and it'd be interesting if Diana somehow pulled it off.
>>152122977No I get that I mean why would he do that still once again he hates that dude's guts
>>152123008For the same reason he arbitrarily got to pick a cross universal fighter, extreme plot contrivance.
>>152122977So who was the actual person Joker brought with him?
>>152123026Mister Mxyzptlk
>>152123065I thought the partner had to be from the tournament
>>152123136Joker got an exception because he "collected the most omega energy"
>>152123197How the fuck are they even collecting omega energy? Be being brutal? Shouldn't Aquaman have more becHzs he won both of his rounds easy?
>>152123136They needed a way to cheat Joker to the finals past Zee and Constantine after all
