  • Second Game Crash?

    Nintendo, once the company that saved gaming, is now facing backlash for filing patents that could let it claim ownership over common gameplay mechanics, sparking fears it could stifle creativity and harm both major studios and indie developers alike.

  • So… Doctor Who Just Regenerated Into Rose Tyler?

    According to writer Robert Shearman, the 15th Doctor’s regeneration into Billie Piper has basically put a full stop on the entire Doctor Who story. That’s a wild way to end things if he’s right. After all these years, do you think this is a fitting way to close the loop or does it feel more like the show’s run out of ideas?

Justice League Unlimited #12 - Batman Beyond Identity Reveal Is A Kick In The Junk

Okay, so, if you've been paying attention to DC canon recently, you'll know that recent events have left a handful of time-displaced Justice Leaguers trapped in our time.

They've been teased in the background for some time, but in today's JLU #12, they properly identified everyone on the team:

First off, personally, this feels like a KICK IN THE DICK.

90's Aquaman, Post-Crisis Peeg, Warrior Guy Gardner, Electric Superman, Kingdom Come Alan Scott, and Batman Beyond are some of my weirdly specific favorite versions of those heroes. I was so excited to see them together - especially Supes and Bats - and now I have to face the fact that it's not Terry, but the MONKEY PAWEST of MONKEY PAWS in Tim Drake, who took up the mantle during the awful Future's End event.

It also seems like a miscommunication happened here, because only one Batman Beyond was shown during the Justice League's time shenanigans, and they've already established that Terry is on the newly--introduced-comic-version of the Legends of Tomorrow:

Sounds like a gut punch. Seeing that roster and then finding out it isn’t Terry after all is brutal, especially when they already placed Terry somewhere else in current canon. Easy to see why people would feel blindsided by that choice.
