  1. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    I was looking at the DC fandom wiki entry on Sleez. Not a lot, he has basically three appearances and he dies in two of them. (The last one is him showing up to immediately die again to show an Event is Serious Business, the fate of all zed-listers.) Still, these two lines describing his...

    Sleez certainly went hard the moment he realized he'd been revealed. Suggests that if he's been working with Batman, it's not in any way he feels will stand up to scrutiny. Still, once Donna lays hands on the man himself I'm guessing he's pretty cooked.

    I have to ask, is this "new god detector machine" something that was previously introduced or did OL obtain it somewhere for this investigation? I'm not sure exactly what it's detecting. "Source energy" or something like that? Who even built this thing?

  4. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    The funny thing is, Batman would be better off switching out Tetch for Sleez as his "mind control chair maintenance guy" if he could figure out how to get Tetch on side. Sure Sleez is somewhat about mind control, so he probably knows "enough", but he's an old New God with his own agenda and...

    Someone pick up that phone, because I called it. I knew that if OL consulted his alien geniuses and mad scientists (Blake is surely some blend of the two if technically neither), they'd tell him to just not try to save everything. Though I don't know if it's really up to OL. It's not like...

    Once again, feels like Brother Eye is being ignored. The SI is well aware of the comics storyline where Batman builds the AI, and then the AI goes crazy/evil and starts trying to kill everyone. Yet everyone talks about Batman and never about this AI, which can act independently and might have...

    Rather surprising that the Peace Agents haven't called them up and begun "suggesting" missions like they did with Paul. Isn't that the whole point of them, to provide coordination?

  8. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    No, no, it's like the Brotherhood of Mutants where they apply "evil" ironically. "We're the Injustice League because we acknowledge that these measures, though necessary to restore the world, are not fundamentally just and should not be celebrated. Unlike some people." Ah, who are we kidding...

    Gods do not actually have a lot of power in the material world, by the way. They can do some stuff, Zeus can toss a lightning bolt, but I'm not sure what you're expecting here. If a god shows up in the material world instead of the thaumosphere, Superman can probably win a fist fight with...

    To what end? I guess it's like, what would you (or OL in the story) expect to be the result of that? I'll tell you my expectations on what they would tell him. "Answer is simple. You don't want to take over the world? Don't! Abandon it instead. Don't worry about what's happening in all...

    I don't see why Alan has any less or any more ability to check the math than OL does. Since Paul has no special expertise he just asked his ring's AI to confirm. Alan's blue ring has a fully functional AI, doesn't it? (I think Kalmin made both a blue ring and lantern, not just a blue lantern.)

  12. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Yeah, I think that the whole "memory wiped, able to be easily controlled, supersoldier" is the sticking point. Really the idea is absolutely antithetical to the whole superhero ideal of trusting people to take independent action according to their best judgment. Scott Free. The god of...

    You're throwing me a long list of names here. My answer would be that I'd have to sit down and consider each one individually and craft a custom explanation for each specific person, charting their career and what they've actually done, what their legal status is, when or if they were ever...

  14. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    To be fair, even in the setting of "With This Ring" I think someone once explained that the Joker slowly escalated as the Smilex contamination in his brain demanded greater and greater stimulation to achieve the same 'high'. He didn't start out doing mass murders, and "early in his career" it...

    Talia's personality didn't really come across in this update. To some extent that's understandable, seeing as how she's a very guarded person who is good at deception. But still, I have no idea what Talia really thinks about things. She listened carefully to what OL said, made some agreeable...

    My solution to the Joker is that he hasn't actually escaped from Arkham that many times, and each time was a unique occasion arising from circumstances that make sense on their own. Moreover, he doesn't actually have any particular goal to kill people and is in some ways less dangerous than...

    @Mr Zoat I wanted to ask something. Is Orange Lantern a member of the Justice League? I don't remember a moment when he formally joined or anything, and I recall him declining to apply for membership in the past. But on the other hand these last few arcs he's been talking a lot like he's a...

    Oh well if a DNA scan said so.... Come on now. If there is something going on, it's obviously at such a high level of reality fuckery that you're not going to pierce it with a casual scan. Heck, when you think about it, it shouldn't have matched the other Kara's DNA. The story is that this...

    So "Superwoman" is apparently going to be a thing going forward. It wasn't just a one-off to tease Kara. Amusing. But maybe also OL's subtle way of saying, "I know you aren't really Supergirl."

  20. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Throw that on the pile of "interesting statements Kara has made". She started being a superhero way before they did, but also she's not that old. My interpretation is that OL has realized she is trolling him and is trolling her right back. I'm pretty sure we've seen this from other versions...
