scans_dailyDC has announced, over on CBR, that Keith Giffen, JM DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire are re-uniting for an ongoing series....
But it's set a thousand years in the future
Meet the line up of Justice League 3000
Apparently this is "a more militaristic Superman"
I like that she's a bit more solidly built
What is it with DC and black and red these days? Did they over-order stocks of it or something? Is the real reason for the launch of the DCnU that they wanted to reduce their stockpile?
I quite like this design. A lot of fans are hoping this is the DCnU Wally West.... not sure about that myself.
So Cloak became a Green Lantern did he?
I'm a little disappointed that we only have ONE female member (so far) a Superwoman instead of a Superman might have been nice, or a female Flash or Green Lantern... This just seems... too similar in line up to the current JL.
You thoughts?

Date: 2013-06-18 08:46 am (UTC)Regular Diana would ask politely (but firmly) for enemies to put their weapons down and talk this over. This redesign is more likely to say "You've got ten seconds to surrender, then I start swinging"...

Date: 2013-06-17 11:56 pm (UTC)I do like these designs, aside from Superman, because his haircut makes me think 'Quentin Quire' and his expression in that one picture makes him look punchable.
Wonder Woman looks a bit like Glory there.

"Boo! This looks like boring standard crap!"
*reveal that it's Wally and Donna as Flash and Wonder Woman*
"Yay! It's the best book ever!"

Date: 2013-06-18 01:25 am (UTC)I know, 1000 years is a long time, but apparently writers in different eras have gone back-and-forth over whether Wondy retains her Amazonian immortality or not. Any word so far on whether this applies to the DCnU?
Re: Wonder Woman
Date: 2013-06-18 02:12 am (UTC)That said, since Diana's now a demi-God, she probably would be able to live as far as into the 31st Century.
But when you think about that, though, you could probably say the same thing about Superman there.

Date: 2013-06-18 02:18 am (UTC)Ahem. Also, this Superman has kind of a "Jetsons" esthetic that doesn't really appeal. And what's the deal, does his hair have powers of its own in the future?

Date: 2013-06-18 05:08 am (UTC)'Cuz it's the Bwahaha-era JLI creative team. 'Nuff said, as far as I'm concerned. That's all the reason I need to at least give it a shot.

Having a green eyed Flash and have him not be Wally would just be rubbing salt in the wound at this point.

Date: 2013-06-18 01:35 pm (UTC)Yes, that's right; you just saw a writer actually explicitly stating the book's just like what the creative team was doing thirty years ago. Yeah, let's hear it for the "New" 52's idea of fresh and cutting edge, folks: Copying the tone and feel of a comic from the 80s. :(
