This month in DC History
Amanda Waller was introduced in the miniseries called Legends in 1986. Like most events it had it’s fair share of tie-in issues and set up revamps of the Suicide Squad and the Justice League. “The Wall” not only lost her husband but two of her five children the other three she sent to survive on their own once they had gotten their education. According to my book, her only super power is her steel will, wonder why the Guardians never sent her a green ring.
What else was going on in 1986?
- A little book called Watchmen was published. It had something to do with nitty gritty superheroes. I don’t think many people remember it.
- Aquaman wore his blue camouflaged suit forcing his enemies to say “Where did he go? I can’t see him through all this water. Wait I think I’m drowning.”
- The story Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? was written detailing the last days of Superman. Not only did his secret identity get revealed but he married Lois. Lex and Brainiac became one as well but they weren’t behind Superman’s troubles but that crazy inter-dimensional imp Mr. Mxyzptlk.

In 1958, Brainiac appeared in the DCU. His first issue was Action Comics #242.
What else was going on in 1958?
- Batman became SuperBatman when he traveled to Zur-En-Arrh, a planet that gave Bruce Superman’s powers.
- Lois Lane got her own title and Superman tried his best to screw it up by driving her crazy with pranks.
- Wonder Woman’s story got some revamping introducing the battle between Amazons for who gets to go back to the land of men (Spoiler alert: Diana won.)
A Weekend WTF fit for the Halloween season! Hope you all have a super/spooky/scary/safe weekend.
This really is super reckless…
Because last week’s WTF wasn’t weird enough, here we have Lois Lane trapped in a baby’s body. Also, did Superman feel that block?

Oh the good old days, when people could beat children with tennis rackets and hair brushes. It looks like this will be a long week for Lois, but why does baby Superman talk like Bizarro?

DailyDCU.com: Batman's Women and You
Yes, I am reblogging one of my posts, but there is a good reason for this. I added an ARTICLE TAB to the side of DailyDCU.com and in honor of this, here is an article I wrote over a year ago when my follower numbers were 10% of what they are now! I hope you enjoy this peak into my psyche circa February 18, 2010:
For years I’ve had a theory: When men meet a woman, they eventually give them a Batman allegory. Whether they know it or not (I know I have), they assign certain character traits to a female that are best represented through one of Batman’s many love interests. To help those lonely men out (and if you’re still reading this, chances are you’re lonely) below is the list of woman you may encounter through the years, Lord knows I have:
- Catwoman: She’s perfect for you; same interests, same sense in style, and the same sense of adventure. You both have your vices and hers may skew toward bad, but the chemistry when you’re together is always palpable. The problem is, once you’re done chasing each other around for years and decide to try a relationship out, you miss the thrill of the night. So, it’s best to leave her as a casual encounter, and trust me she’ll leave you as well; she’s just as strong as you are.
- Vicki Vale: This is a girl you go on a few dates with, who asks you too many personal questions and is always sticking her nose in your business. You end up cutting her out of your life when she shows up somewhere she shouldn’t uninvited, like say your Bat-cave for instance…
- Harley Quinn: Crazy girl that only likes you because her ex-boyfriend hates you. Stay away from her romantically.
- Poison Ivy: The girl you meet out late one night, whose pheromones are almost impossible to resist. Be careful, one kiss from her can ruin your life.
- Zatanna: The life long friend who other people think you should date, but you two know better than to get involved. Sure, a kiss every now and then won’t hurt.
- Talia al Ghul: When you find her, she is the perfect woman for you… then you meet her dad. Crazy father in-law would be an understatement. You and him don’t see eye to eye on any issue what-so-ever and eventually this will ruin your relationship with his daughter. Warning: she may also never tell you she is pregnant with your child.
- Batgirl: A good friend, a trusted ally, and the girl you need more than any to share information with. She’s always there to help.
- Lois Lane: You like her because she dates your best friend, but you would never try to steal her away.
- Wonder Woman: Gorgeous, exotic, strong, caring, the list goes on forever. You have the same interests, but can argue about where you differ; above anyone else though, you respect her opinion. She loves you and you love her, it is just a matter of admitting it.
As reported yesterday, Amy Adams joins the long list of actresses to portray the iconic character of Lois Lane. I have really liked the casting choices director Zack Snyder has made for his Superman film, and look forward to see who else will be joining this all star line up!
What do you all think of this casting?
