ITT: Things better off forgotten

ITT: Things better off forgotten.

fuck you

Keith Giffen couldn't save him. Fate-who-couldn't-get-his-doctorate is better off in obscurity.

Giffen made him WORSE, he was fine before

Jared did nothing wrong

He was born. He did everything wrong.
Giffen's ending was the perfect sendoff and I'm mad he was killed off in JSA.

She should never have appeared outside of her debut episode.

That weird period in New 52 Green Arrow where they tried to make it like the CW show

Mullet Superman.

I never read his book, how was it?

Not great.

>Ben has a semi-consistent love interest with Esther
>Has other girls that like him
>Has Rook
>Suddenly Kai returns
>She's better than she used to be, at least
>Kinda cool
>"Oh they're fighting they must be in love!"
>Force this romance constantly
>Even Spanner has to show up to push the pairing
>All the girls leave, so it's just Kai
>At least Rook is here

Rook was best boy. He should have won.

Surprisingly great.

>Keith Giffen couldn't save him.

I feel like you don't understand Keith "The Ender of Worlds" Giffen and what he does.

neck yourself 00s kid

Speaking of which I wonder if Earth-13's Jared has mostly the same history except without being killed.

And no one cared for it. I’m sure even fans of the show hates it.

I'm getting mixed messages here.

Black Manta having a father.

The whole "Let's shit on Roy's life" phase

Black Manta having motives other then just hating Aquaman.

WHO LIKED THIS? HONESTLY

Nobody.

I like how Barry's talking to Jay like "Wait Roy had a kid?"

It makes for a really great Trilogy of Pain for storytiming though

I just can't wrap my head around submitting to an editor the part where he hallucinates a rotting dead cat is his daughter and thinking "Nailed it"

IT WAS JUSTICE!

Mon-El just looks confused. Did anyone explain Earth funerals to him?
Could Speedy have not come in civilian clothes? Roy is basically family.


Hey, at least we got Bizarro Arsenal out of that mess.

Don't forget that it all started with her getting abducted years earlier

JUSTICEEEEEEE

Where's Ollie?

What wasn't stupid about this arc?
>Roy's kid dying
>Green Arrow and Hal going full retard, along with a few others shouting JUSTICE!
>Prometheus beating The Justice League because he had a dvd cheat sheet
>Oliver and Hal beating a shit ton of villains off panel

Don't forget Ollie defeating Prometheus in the most anti-climactic of ways.

JUST

ICE

Maybe the writer submitted something different and the editor said, "this is shit, have him cradle a dead cat and think it's his dead daughter"

"...and then have Roy beat some thugs with that cat".

>Wearing bright costumes to a funeral
Fuck you.

That's just standard DCU procedure user

...

...

>"We want the Dr Fate audience!"

Why'd you post a blank image

I've never seen this character before

HELL YEAH BRO

There are many, many x-men who are utterly forgotten. Most from the late 90s/early 2000s phase when X-Men were every other marvel book. Few of them have wiki articles and the only way to discover them is to dig through marvel wiki

Should have made Steve a hot lady.
I'm totally down with the male/female flexible Dr. Fate and it sucks that the concept seems dead as fuck.

I just read the first five issues of FATE and it's pretty damn bad.
Maybe it got better over time, but I doubt it.

Speaking of Dr.Fate, what are some good runs/stories for him? Is it just JSA or are there some good shit with just him?.

Why did Darkseid attend Superman's funeral?

The DeMatteis/Giffen Dr Fate mini is a good place to start. There's a few bits of questionable art here and there, but it's good.

He's not so bad inside

He likes the sadness of funerals. That is why he was also at Morpheus' funeral

Who?

it doesn't look quite so retarded here, for some reason.
Who's the guy that looks like Sandman/Morpheus around Martian manhunter/The Ray/Scott Free?

Sandman/Morpheus.

The worst part aside from killing Lian was making him Red Arrow. The costume is shit, the name is shit, just wholly unimaginative but MUH KINGDOM COME. The Titans era/Rick Mays costume is was probably the best look Roy ever had (second would be the RHaTO outfit); I like Roy when he's got the slightly trashy, down to earth and more normal thing. Also Arsenal is just a way better and more unique name than Red Arrow.

Lian was fucking great and Roy was amazing as a father. Killing her was completely uncalled for.

She was great, even when Joker-ized

Holy shit, some DC editor really had it in for Lian.

She was actually in that series a lot, but was mostly a casualty of how other books were writing Cheshire, who changed from "poison assassin" to "nuke the entirely of Qurac"

...

>He's holding dead cats and shooting them.

Yesss

Oh yeah, that child sex ring that grace choi was a victim of.

Rose was Lian's babysitter? God damn Roy leave something for the rest of us!

Rose was supposed to be pretty young in that series, even though the art didn't really show it. Roy and Donna were doing the "Will they/won't they" for most of it, and then they did become a couple

Inviting Deadman to a funeral feels kinda wrong. Also why is Swamp Thing there?

So Morpheus went to Supes' funeral and Clark went to Morpheus'

Pottery.

Why does the glasses look work for him but it looks stupid when Marvel tries to give it to Clint?

That was actually just a promo image, neither Morpheus, nor Darkseid of all people went to Supes' funeral.

This is the actual procession.

stupid too, as being a single-father superhero was a fairly unique-trait for Roy.
Killing her off turned him into an edgy lonesome vigilante, which we've kind of got enough of

Because Roy is actually cool.

White trash aesthetic looks better on roy.

>stupid too, as being a single-father superhero was a fairly unique-trait for Roy.
Yeah exactly! He was also one of the few superhero parents that wasn't a moping bag of guilt. They had a very unique relationship. Wonder who made the call to off the poor child.

Never forget
1/2

maybe it's the colour-scheme?

2/2

Yeah Roy is white trash and Clint is a carnie, Clint should have his gaudy bullshit mask.

Jesus H Christ

Why is deathstroke there?
Why is Darkseid there?!
The fuck

Who keeps sending the junkie on narco missions?

Who the fuck wrote this? Who approved this?

I even liked her tiny came in some Roy/Nightwing gay Japanese comic

To be fair, Deathstroke was an anto-hero at the time.

So who at DC absolutely HATED Roy?

There's this notion that undermines proper writing in superhero comics that being a father/husband is uncool and the only stories you can do with a family is one where they're in immediate danger or die.

Why is he there twice?

>Who approved this?
I fear the name "berganza" might soon appear

They weren't there.

user, you're missing the joke

I don't read DC much.
Tell me the myth of this "Berganza."

I suspect, rather than hating him, they thought this stuff made him cool and compelling

This was from the 2008 book titled "Titans." About two years in, Brightest Day happened, and the book became a Deathstroke title "Villains for Hire."
Slade would later get Roy hooked on the children-drug to keep him on the team

Prime should have killed him.

This is the book that also had "the woman with the molten vagina"

And they made that into a DLC costume

That's even more unsettling.

I think the second slightly bushy-haired, pale guy in black is Grant Morrison/The Writer from Animal man(I think he turned up in Suicide Squad too).
I wouldn't bet my life on it, mind you

I...I fucking can't...

The worst part is that the book actually had decent bones. It was sort of a Secret Six clone with Deathstroke, though it had a good intrigue angle with Roy trying to take him down. I also liked the idea of the chick who torches pedos. It's just so goddamn bad though, like WOAT.

But we haven't even gotten started on the really stupid shit.

I call your bluff
