Goodbye to the old DCU

[Oric]

Just thought I would direct to a nice pic of Tim and Steph from the CBR blog:

Farewell, and thanks for the fish!

So where is Tim in the new DCU? 

 

Loved the Crimson Fowl and the Super-wedgie!  Great pics.

I don't think Tim is part of the DCnU

Thanks for the link, Oric.  That was fun.

Tim Drake is part of the new DC.

"Tim Drake is forced to step out from behind his keyboard when an international organization seeks to capture or kill super-powered teenagers. As Red Robin, he must team up with the mysterious and belligerent powerhouse thief known as Wonder Girl and a hyperactive speedster calling himself Kid Flash in TEEN TITANS #1, by Scott Lobdell and artists Brett Booth and Norm Rapmund. from newsarama

So with Dick Grayson in Nightwing, Jason Todd in Red Hood and the Outlaws, Tim Drake in Teen Titans and Damian Wayne in Batman & Robin, that's four Robins! Not really a new DCU in that regard. They want to have their cake and eat it too! ;-)

Who doesn't want to have their cake and eat it too?  When I have cake, I certainly think, "I should probably eat that."

Goodbye, DC.

So is there anything that'll be missed in this phase of the DCU? I'm thinking Infinite Crisis to the DCnU relaunch?

Green Lantern and Morrison's Batman, the two big sellers of the period, will continue on regardless.

Secret Six was a high point for me, running from the lead-up to InfC up to the end of the period. Batwoman was also a well-handled success. Being introduced in 52, she will be, like Secret Six, very particularly associated with this period.

Superman never really hit the heights that Up, Up and Away promised, despite the best efforts of Busiek and Robinson (ok, and Johns!)

Wonder Woman stumbled from false start to false start in a most unedifying fashion.

No doubt some of you will have other views on what the era should be remembered for.

There's no question that the period fizzled out, not with a bang, like COIE, or even the great lead up to the fizzle, like InfC, but rather with a whimper. JMS' two high profile series going off the rails and then Johns Superman reboot being binned before the ink was even dry...

the marketing of the DCnU is all about ignoring the last few years and looking to the future, but we've all invested quite a bit in the post-IC DCU. It's worth some consideration before we move on to the brave new world (hah! Remember that too?) New Brave new world, I should say...

I dunno, I thought Gail Simone had a pretty good handle on things.
