“It’s more than just a light… It’s a signal.  A signal to Gotham that their secret hope for justice, for a better tomorrow, isn’t just a fantasy.

Now let’s just hope the right people see it.”

Renee says here that she was seventeen when Batman took up the cowl/the bat signal was first used. How old would that make her in Gotham Central?

I always forget how long Batman’s been under the cowl. I feel like it’s been at least ten years by Gotham Central, according to Jim Gordon’s timeline, which would make Renee twenty-seven by Gotham Central. However, in 52, her license says she was born in 1970. 

I don’t think Batman had been under the cowl for sixteen years (as he would have had to have been for the timelines to match up at that point). 

I know I’ve figured this out before and things didn’t line up, especially since Benny and Renee’s conversation also placed things differently… I wonder if this is just a weird continuity error? I wonder which Greg considers correct.

If Renee WAS born in 1970, it would mean she met Kate when she was 27 (“ten years ago” by Elegy timeline). Which isn’t correct, either…

And yes, this is the kind of shit I think about at 8:30AM.

That way madness lies. Timeline continuity isn’t anchored to real time. A driver’s license that says someone was born in 1970 is meaningless in a universe where the heroes are locked at certain ages, ie, Batman is 33. Age is relative. My suggestion? They’re as old as you want them to be.

Relatively speaking I’ve not been reading comics on a regular basis for very long. Just a couple of years. Yet this seems something that I read a lot of in the online community, that I have never understood. The concept that the timelines and character ages could make sense with all of the stories that have been told, is a thankless and ultimately impossible (not to mention pointless) task. Superman has existed for 75 years. Could all of the stories told in that time actually fit into a cohesive timeline? Bigger question: do they need to? Answer to both is no.

I have this, it’s from the month I was born.

Such an adorable dork.

Me and my fiancée made these for her last night. Almost finished…

I see what you did there.

Justice League Dark #7

Very OCD I know, but I did notice some patterns. It basically reads like this:

Yadda yadda Scott Snyder, Scott Snyder, Scott Snyder, yadda yadda Alan Moore, Alan Moore, Alan Moore, yadda yadda Neil Gaiman, Neil Gaiman, Neil Gaiman, yadda yadda Lee Bermejo, Lee Bermejo…

OK so the proposed new DC logo isn’t great, even when they animate it for movies and colour it it’s still a bit… boring. 

BUT PLEASE Tumblr people stop calling the swoosh a “classic” logo. It’s been used since 2005. They had the previous ‘bullet’ logo since ‘76. And it’s way better than the swoosh.

Batman never fails as hard as Superman.
