Wonder Woman Complete Reading Guide

dailywonderfam’s 1k followers celebration: part 1

Diana Prince is one of DC’s most famous characters, with a rich history of more than 75 years! In the following guideline we will try to be as detailed as possibe but we’re sure that will inevitably miss something. Our plan is to include her most important appearances from her debut in All Star Comics #8 (1941) until November 2017. For the sake of brevity, we’ve chosen to put the stories we judged as most essential or most enjoyable in bold!

The list under the cut is separated in 5 parts:

Pre Crisis Era (1941-1986)

Post Crisis Era (1987-2011)

New 52 Era (2011-2016)

Rebirth Era (2016-2017)

Out of main continuity Graphic Novels and Stories

All Star Comics (1940) #8 (Debut), 11-57 Sensation Comics (1942) #1-106 [#1-8] Wonder Woman (1942) #1-329 [#1, 7, 21, 28, 63, 66, 98, 99, 107, 127, 159, 163, 178, 179, 200-202, 204-206, 212-23, 270, 271, 287-289, 291-293, 300, 308, 329] Comics Cavalcade (1942) #1-29 The Brave and the Bold (1955) #28-30 (creation of justice league), 63, 78, 87, 105, 131, 140, 158 Justice League of America (1960) #1, 2-261 +Annual 1-3 Super Friends (1976) #1-47 All-Star Squadron (1981) #1-4, 13-60 + Annual 1-3

Note: In team titles we have bolded the stories that are centered around Diana! Her most important title is her second volume (1987-2005) and because of it’s… interesting story we decided to write a brief (personal) opinion about each team and also include some trigger warnings.

Wonder Woman v2 (1987) #1-226 + Annuals #1-8 + Wonder Woman Special #1 (1992) + Secret files and Origins #1-3

George Perez: #1-62 +Annuals #1,2 [#1-24 +Annual #1, 25-40, 41-44, 45-50, 51-57]

Perez is one of the classic Wonder Woman writers; he reinvented her origins and he managed to showcase who she is as a person, in a way that few writers ever did. His run is not without it’s faults, his writing is too wordy and very dry at times and some of his themes are very dated. But besides these faults, it’s a very good read that it’s worthy of your time. warning: mentions of rape and even some dated views about this matter

William Messner Loebs: Wonder Woman Special #1, #63, #64-89, 0, 90-100 + Annuals #3,4

If George Perez is one of the best Wonder Woman writers, then Loebs is the one of the worst. At best his run is a silly 90s nonsense (like Diana being a space pirate), but Loebs’ worst is unforgivable. The only memorable things about his run is the Brian Bolland covers and the introduction of Artemis of Bana Mighdall. His writing alongside Mike Deodato Jr’s criminally awful art is one of the worst things that happened to Wonder Woman’s comics. warning: if you do decide to read this run keep in mind that in #100 there’s a graphic, hypersexualized torture/ death scene.

John Byrne: #101-136 + Annuals #5,6 [#105-107, 122-127]

John Byrne’s run continues the 90s silly nonsense but this time is not criminally bad, maybe a little forgetable (or even boring?). The most important things were the introduction of Cassie Sandsmark, Donna’s well intentioned but confusing new origins, Artemis becoming Cassie’s trainer, Hippolyta going back in time and becoming the Wonder Woman of WW2/Golden Age of comics. But to be fair, Byrne brought back together the Wonderfam and he gave us some very sweet moments between them!

Eric Luke: #139-159 + Annuals #7, 8 [Annual #8, #154-155]

Christopher Priest’s wrote 2 bad issues (#137-138) before Luke took over the title. His run is very forgetable, the only event worth mentioning was the re-introduction of Nubia, and that wasn’t even him but Doselle Young, who guest wrote the bolded issues above…

Phil Jimenez #164-188 [#164-170, 174-176, 177]

Before Jimenez, the great Brian K. Vaughan guest wrote two issues (#160-161) the story is pretty forgetable but fun. Jimenez, clearly loves Wonder Woman; it’s obvious from the first issue. His run wasn’t great but it was good, better than anything we had since Perez. He suffered from some of the same issues as Perez and Byrne did; notably that the pages were too wordy and tiring. He tried to fix as many mistakes as he could from the bad previous 100 issues of this volume, and while he didn’t always succeed, he tried. He developed the relationship between the wonderfam as no one else before or after him did. All things considered, Jimenez’s run is the strongest Wonder Woman run since Perez.

Greg Rucka: #195-226

Greg Rucka. That’s all we have to say. This is the best run ever in any Wonder Woman comic ever. Read every single issue! Even better, before start this run read first his solo graphic novel Wonder Woman: Hiketeia!

Wonder Woman (2006) #1-44, 600, 601-614 + Annual #1

- 1-4 + Annual 1, Gail Simone’s run (#14-44,600): 14-19, 20-35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 44, 600

Team Titles

Justice League/ Justice League America (1987) #40-77. She becomes the leader in #78, #78-113 + Annual #6-8. Collected: vol 1, vol 2 JLA (1997) #1-125 + Annuals #1-4 + 80 Page Giant #1-3 + JLA Secret Files. Diana centered issues are: #47-54, 62-64, 78-79, 90 JLA Classified (2005) #1-54 [1-5, 10-21] Justice League of America (2006) #0, 1-39, 41 Trinity (2008) #1-52

Other Appearances

52 (2006) #1-11, 12, 13, 17, 24, 25, 33, 41, 47-52 Brave and the Bold (2007) #7, 33 Outsiders Five of a Kind: Wonder Woman and Grace (2007) #1 Secret Six (2008) #10-14 Blackest Night: Wonder Woman (2009) #1-3 Flashpoint featuring Wonder Woman (2011) [collected volume]

New 52 is the worst thing to happen to her, we don’t recommend any of these, the bolded ones are only reluctantly recommended.

Wonder Woman (2011) #0-52 + Annual #1 Justice League (2011) #3-50 Superman/Wonder Woman (2013) #1-29 Batwoman (2011) #12-17 Aquaman Annual #2 (2014) Deathstroke (2014) #7-10 + Annual #1 Secret Origins (2014) #6 Teen Titans (2014) #17-19 Convergence: Wonder Woman (2015) #1-2

Rebirth is the current DC comics continuity, and features a Wonder Woman title that was excellent at its best! We recommend the rebirth Wonder Woman title for the first 30 issues, particularly #0-#25, which was Greg Rucka’s character redefining return to writing Wonder Woman comics. After Rucka, Shea Fontana wrote a nice but unremarkable 5 issue arc, and after Fontana, James Robinson became the new writer, and his Wonder Woman comics are better left unread.

A Parte 7 do especial As Primeiras Super Heroínas das HQs relembra Lady Luck (Brenda Banks), Miss Victory (Joan Wayne) e Chama (Carol Vance Martin). Todas do início da década de 1940, a Era de Ouro dos Gibis.

Lady Luck – Quality Comics / DC Comics

Criada por Will Eisner e Chuck Mazoujian, Lady Luck surgiu em tiras de jornais de domingo entre junho de 1940 a novembro de 1946. Suas aventuras foram reproduzidas em gibis publicados pela Quality Comics. Em 2013, a personagem voltou repaginada em ‘Phantom Stranger’ da DC Comics.

1940 Lady Luck @ Domínio Público

Lady Luck era o alter ego de Brenda Banks, uma rica herdeira de família irlandesa americana. Rejeitando a futilidade do seu círculo de amigos, ela treinou artes marciais e vestiu vestido, chapéu e véu verdes como máscara. Em algumas versões, apareceu com um chapéu azul.

1940 Lady Luck @ Reprodução

Trabalhando para o incompetente policial Feeny O’Mye e flertando com o chefe da policia Hardy Moore, Lady Luck não tinha poderes especiais. A partir de 1942, ela ganhou um motorista particular italiano chamado Peecolo.

Lady Luck conseguiu 84# posição na lista das ‘100 Mulheres Mais Sexies das HQs’.

Miss Victory – Helnit Publishing Co

1941 Miss Victory @ Reprodução

A primeira aparição da super-heroína Miss Victory aconteceu na revista Captain Fearless #1 em agosto de 1941, publicado por Frank Z. Temerson para a Helnit Publishing Co. Criada por Charles Quinlan, Miss Victory era o alter ego da secretária e estenógrafa Joan Wayne, que trabalhava para um departamento do Governo. Ela era assistente do Dr. Mark Benton do Projeto Colorado, que desenvolveu um composto químico chamado V-45 com a proposta de criar super soldados. Joan tomou o composto, ganhou força sobre-humana, invulnerabilidade e poder de voo. Assim, tornou-se uma super agente do governo americano sob o nome de Miss Victory. Dois anos depois, ela liderou um grupo de mulheres chamado FemForce, ao lado de Blue Blulleteer, She-Cat e Rio Rita. A primeira versão de Miss Victory foi publicada de 1941 à 1946. Ela ganharia nova versão em 1984.

1993 Miss Victory na revista FemForce Up Close #7 Janeiro @ Reprodução

Chama / Wildfire – Quality Comics / DC Comics

Criada por Jim Mooney, Wildfire apareceu pela primeira vez no gibi “Smash Comics” #25 (1941) como a órfã que foi salva de um incêndio pelo deus do fogo, que lhe concedeu os poderes sobre as chamas.

1941 Chama – Wildfire @ divulgação

Ruiva e usando calças vermelhas, Carol Vance Martin foi planejada para estrelar na série ‘All-Star Squadron’, porém, a DC se negou, pois tinha um herói com o mesmo nome.

A personagem chegou a ser publicada no Brasil da época. O desenhista Jim Mooney calcou o visual da heroína na aparência de sua primeira mulher.

2016 Chama na capa da revista The Men of Mystery

A edição #100 da revista ‘Women of Mystery’ reimprimiu clássicos da AC Comics. Foram relembradas das mulheres mascaradas e heroinas com super poderes da era pré-Mulher Maravilha.

Because I’m such a Diana hoe, here is a full master list of all of Diana of Themyscira’s/Diana of Paradise Island’s/Diana Prince’s appearances. It’s a hell of a long list so it’s all under the cut. I tried ordering it all in chronological order as best as I could, with the first issue of a series she appears in followed by the others in that series she appears in. I’ll be updating it regularly as issues and series are released. Also, maybe check out my Donna Troy master list?

Stargirl: Who are the Justice Society Members?

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Any time the Justice Society of America make it off the comics page and onto a screen, it’s a big deal. Why? Because without the Justice Society, there’s no Justice League, no Fantastic Four, no X-Men, no Avengers, and no shared superhero universes, cinematic, televisual, or otherwise. And while the DC Universe and CW Stargirl TV series isn’t the first time we’ve seen the JSA on screen, it’s looking like it will be the most faithful version of the team ever to make it to live action.

Y’see, while the comic book industry exploded in the wake of Superman’s debut in Action Comics #1 in 1938, and the superhero arms race was on with dozens of publishers competing for seemingly endless space on the newsstands, characters weren’t teaming up with each other. Superman, Batman, and others were published by National Periodical Publications while the original Flash (Jay Garrick) and Green Lantern (Alan Scott) were under the auspices of All-American Publications (which was soon absorbed by NPP, who later morphed into DC Comics), but there were no crossovers, no “event” stories, and certainly no superhero teams. If anything, all of these super characters were in direct competition with each other as they tried to become popular enough to break out of their anthology titles and support their own books.

Just for a little perspective here, Superman and Batman shared a title, World’s Finest Comics, for over a decade before they actually teamed up in it!

In 1940 All-American introduced All-Star Comics, an anthology title featuring big names like Flash and Hawkman (who had debuted the previous year in Flash Comics #1), as well as some second stringers like Spectre and Sandman. It was just another anthology title, though, until its third issue, which had a striking cover…

Remember that cover, because I’m going to come back to it in a few. You may already notice some familiar faces that were teased in the first episode of Stargirl.

Essentially, All-Star Comics #3 was still an anthology comic, however. The Justice Society of America promised on the cover, with a meeting of superheroes around a roundtable, ended up just as a bookend, with the heroes meeting up to tell each other stories about their solo adventures. With All-Star Comics #4, instead of telling tales, the idea was that the team would meet up for a mission, and then split up on solo missions, thus preserving the anthology format. This eventually gave way to more full-blooded superhero team stories, but that “let’s split up and tackle different aspects of this mission” is a format that still plays quite heavily in comics and on a superhero team show like Legends Of Tomorrow to this day.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

The JSA headlined All-Star Comics through the title’s demise in 1951, when superheroes were falling out of favor, and if your name wasn’t Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman, you were getting shunted off to back-up stories, or worse…cancellation. But a few years later, DC revitalized their publishing line and the superhero genre when they introduced the Barry Allen version of The Flash in the paged of Showcase #4. Barry was an updated speedster who bore little in common with the original Flash other than his speedster powers and a taste for the color red. Other updates and revivals followed, including Green Lantern, and a new superhero team who went by the name of the Justice League. Perhaps you’ve heard of them.

Continuity wasn’t much of a concern for the comic book fan or creator in those days, so the original heroes of the World War II era were hardly referred to. That is, until, “The Flash of Two Worlds” which brought Jay Garrick and Barry Allen together in a story that established that Jay and his fellow Justice Society heroes existed on a parallel world. Flash team-ups became a regular feature, and that soon extended to a yearly Justice League/Justice Society party. There were a number of Justice Society revivals, with the team headlining a revived All-Star Comics for a time, and the exceptional All-Star Squadron comic launching in 1981, showcasing previously untold stories about JSA-related characters during World War II.

This all changed in 1986 when DC Comics decided to clean up their continuity with Crisis on Infinite Earths, eliminating their multiverse in favor of a linear timeline (sound familiar TV fans?). This gave the JSA a new mission, and perhaps a more important place in the overall DC Universe. Now, the JSA were the original heroes of a unified DC Universe, fighting during World War II and beyond, with a legacy that inspired younger heroes like Barry Allen, Hal Jordan, and others.

Because of assorted comic book shenanigans that I don’t need to get into here (it’s a headache, trust me), the JSA were able to exist in the modern day, only slightly older than they were in the late 1940s/early ’50s. As a result, the JSA became the proving ground for a host of even younger heroes. The Justice League had their sidekicks break off and form the Teen Titans, but other new heroes found themselves schooled by the JSA, and heroes like Hourman, Sandman, Commander Steel (fan fave Nate Heywood over on Legends of Tomorrow), Doctor Mid-Nite, Starman, and others passed their legacy on to new characters.

Is any of that starting to sound familiar to Stargirl TV fans? It should! The TV version of Crisis on Infinite Earths eliminated the Arrowverse multiverse as it used to be, but re-established it with some new rules. The version of Earth-2 that had been introduced during the second season of The Flash was a weird, slightly darker reflection of the main universe. That was wiped out early in Crisis, but the conclusion saw the formation of this new, wholesome and kinda timeless Earth-2, and that’s where Stargirl takes place. And without getting into spoilers, the idea of legacy characters taking up the mantle of the JSA is a major theme of this season.

Justice Society Members

So let’s talk about the Stargirl TV version of the Justice Society…both the ones we actually meet in the first episode, and the ones teased via Easter eggs in the rest. Take a look at the photo that Courtney finds with Pat’s things, which looks quite a bit like that All-Star Comics #3 cover!

And now let’s break it all down…

Starman

First and foremost, we have Sylvester Pemberton (Joel McHale). In the comics, Pemberton originally went by the non-powered name of the Star-Spangled Kid (and later, briefly, Skyman). He first appeared in Star Spangled Comics #1 in 1941. Here, he’s wielding the cosmic staff that was designed by and used by the original comics Starman, Ted Knight (who first appeared in Adventure Comics #61 that same year). It’s not clear what Ted Knight’s relationship to the JSA will be on this show, and it’s possible that they’ve just condensed Pemberton’s origin story a little to make things flow a little more smoothly, since the legacy of the Starman name is a long one. We’ll probably have to get into this in another article all its own at some point this season.

Green Lantern

No, not the cosmic kind. The green flames billowing out of the JSA headquarters in the episode’s opening come from the magical power ring of Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern. We never see his body, though, so is it possible that Alan Scott will show up later in this series?

The Flash

Visible on the ground during the battle is the helmet of original Flash, Jay Garrick. Like Alan Scott, we never see Jay’s body, so it’s possible that Jay is still running around out there. In a perfect world, this would turn out to be the same Jay Garrick that John Wesley Shipp plays on The Flash, the classic Flash of Earth-3, but his status remains unknown after Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Dr. Mid-Nite

We see the original Dr. Mid-Nite, Charles McNider, fall in battle here. McNider was a surgeon blinded by a gangster who was trying to murder a witness who could testify against him. McNider gained the ability to see, but only in the dark, and got to work fighting crime. He first appeared in All-American Comics #25 in 1941, and has passed the mantle of Dr. Mid-Nite on to several other characters…one of whom we may have already met on Stargirl.

Hourman

Also fallen in battle we see Hourman. First appearing in Adventure Comics #40 in 1940, Rex Tyler was a chemist who created a drug that could give him superhuman strength and endurance…but only for one hour. Like many other members of the JSA, he has a legacy to fulfill, and expect to see more of Hourman on this show soon enough.

Sandman

Visible on the stairs is the discarded and damaged gas mask of Wesley Dodds. The Sandman was one of the very first superheroes, first appearing in 1939 with his gas mask, gas gun, trenchcoat and fedora (he was later given a more traditional superhero costume makeover by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby). If you’re looking for some truly unique pulp noir superhero tales, check out DC’s Sandman Mystery Theater series, which took a hard edged look at the earliest days of DC superheroes, including the occasional cameo from JSA members.

And then there are the JSA members visible in the photograph that Courtney finds later on…the one that almost mirrors the All-Star Comics #3 cover discussed up above.

Wildcat

Ted Grant was a former boxing heavyweight champ who turned his skills to crime fighting. He’s also famous for teaching younger heroes how to fight. A version of the character showed up on Arrow season 3 where he trained Laurel Lance as Black Canary. He isn’t the only character to wear the ears and whiskers, though, and Stargirl will introduce another Wildcat later this season.

Hawkman and Hawkgirl

It’s not clear if we’ll see Hawkman and Hawkgirl on this series at any point other than in that photo, but fans of Legends of Tomorrow are already familiar with their story. Of course, these are the Hawkman and Hawkgirl of a different reality than the ones we met on Legends, but the broad strokes (two lovers reincarnated throughout eternity) remain the same.

Johnny Thunder

Not visible on the show yet, but definitely in that photo, is Johnny Thunder, who uses the magic word “cei u” to control a djinn…which is contained not in a lamp, but a pen. Johnny was something of a mascot for the JSA, despite harboring some of its greatest power.

Dr. Fate

Debuting in More Fun Comics #55 in 1940, Kent Nelson gains the mystical powers of Nabu when he dons an ancient helmet and cloak. Others have also worn that helmet, and perhaps we’ll meet one of them on Stargirl down the line.

If ever there was a feature of the DC Universe that set it apart from Marvel’s brand of superheroics, it was the JSA. That sense of legacy, which often drew a direct line from the era that birthed the entire superhero genre to the modern day, was lost when DC rebooted its publishing line in 2011 with the New 52 initiative, but they’ve finally returned to DC Comics continuity in all their glory. Something tells us there will be lots more Justice Society stories both in the comics and on the screen for many years to come.

https://ift.tt/2RJepmT This is, by far, the biggest crossover the Arrow-verse has ever pulled off. Five hours of TV, an unfathomable number of DC Comics superheroes making appearances, and an entire multiverse facing destruction. Warning: The following contains spoilers for the first three hours of the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event. If you haven’t watched and don’t want to be spoiled, look away now. The first three hours alone are littered with Easter eggs and references to not only newly-discovered corners of the Arrow-verse, but old DC TV shows and movies, as well as nods to the comics that are responsible for all of these properties. There are so many, it would be easy to miss a handful of them. Luckily, you don’t have to worry about that. We’ve paid very close attention to all three hours of the crossover so far, documenting all of the Easter eggs for you. Take a look at them all below while you prepare for the final two episodes when they air January 14 on The CW. 1. What a headline The first thing we see in Crisis is a glimpse at Gotham City on Earth-89, otherwise known as the Gotham that Tim Burton’s Batman films exist in. Batman was released in 1989. Get it? It’s hard to see the date on this newspaper, but given that Joker (Jack Nicholson) died in the 1989 film, either this is the next day or that Gotham is being hassled by a successor to the original Joker. Either way, we want to know more. Interestingly, the Gotham City Gazette is not the newspaper featured in Batman (1989). In that film, it was the Gotham Globe. 2. Oh, hey Knox And who better to serve as an introduction to this version of Gotham than Alexander Knox, the journalist played by Robert Wuhl in that Batman film. 3. Meanwhile, on a streaming Earth After jumping to another Earth, we are greeted by Hawk (Alan Ritchson) from the DC Universe original series, Titans. His appearance wraps that show’s continuity into the larger Arrow-verse, even if we only see him briefly. 4. But that’s not all We also see a brief glimpse of Jason Todd (Curran Walters) in his Robin gear, as he and Hawk face down the destruction of their Earth. 5. And over on Earth-X We also catch a glimpse of The Ray (Russell Tovey), who was first introduced as a hero in the 2017 Arrow-verse crossover, Crisis on Earth-X. 6. Holy Robin, Batman We knew this cameo appearance was coming, given that it was teased at Comic-Con. Still, seeing Burt Ward–the original live-action Robin–appearing in the Arrow-verse is a special treat. He even has a typically outlandish Robin line, exclaiming, “Holy crimson skies of death!” 7. This technically counts as two Easter eggs Look, kids. It’s Wil Wheaton. The former Star Trek: The Next Generation star has done voice work in a number of DC animated shows and movies, but this is his first live-action appearance on a DC project. What’s more, the sign he’s carrying is a replica of one that appears in Superman II. 8. Superman does dirty diapers Our first glimpse as Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) as a Superdad is a funny one, in which he takes care of a super dirty diaper. Not only is this a nod to Superman being a dad in the comics, but it’s also a look at what the potential Superman and Lois Lane spin-off that’s being developed could be like. 9. Quantum towers are not pretty Yes, the quantum towers are pulled from the comics. They were constructed by the Monitor (LaMonica Garrett) to slow down the progress of the quantum wave destroying the multiverse. 10. The next Green Arrow We know that Arrow is coming to an end and a female-centric spin-off is in the works. It looks like when all is said and done, Mia Smoak (Katherine McNamara) will be the next Green Arrow, based on the costume her dad had made for her. 11. Yet another Wells Tom Cavanagh rarely plays the same version of Harrison Wells for more than a season. This time, though, even that’s been cut down. His latest incarnation–Nash–has now become Pariah. In addition to the new name and fancy costume, this character–which also appeared in the Crisis comics–can travel between Earths to collect heroes. 12. The death of the Green Arrow Sure, Oliver’s only “kind of dead” when all is said and done, but the death of the Green Arrow is another story twist pulled from the pages of the Crisis comic book. In the miniseries, Earth-2’s Green Arrow–the Golden Age version of the hero–died during Crisis. 13. Luke Fox returns to his comic book roots On Batwoman, Luke Fox (Camrus Johnson) is essentially Kate Kane’s (Ruby Rose) nerdy Alfred. He’s portrayed a bit differently in the comics. On Earth-99, though, Luke resembles the version comics fans should recognize, as the nerdy persona is nowhere to be seen. 14. Batman’s gotten old While we see Bruce Wayne (Kevin Conroy) in an exosuit that definitely conjures images of the character’s appearance in Kingdom Come, that’s not who this particular Batman is. Instead, this Bruce takes a cue from The Dark Knight Returns, where Batman has turned cold and killed off several of his enemies. 15. The Death of Superman This quick glimpse at a TV recreates imagery from the Death of Superman comic. Thankfully, the Arrow-verse’s primary Superman is fine. 16. Hey Constantine Yes, John Constantine is a regular character on Legends of Tomorrow. However, he’s also a character that ties yet another DC show–the defunct Constantine on NBC–into the Arrow-verse. 17. Somebody save us Talk about a blast from the past. Tom Welling reprising his role of Clark Kent from Smallville was a special moment. Even more interesting was learning he gave up his powers to live a normal life with his wife Lois (Erica Durance) and their kids. 18. Speaking of Lois The Smallville-set scene also provided an appearance by Durance as Lois Lane. 19. Yet another Clark Kent Hey, he looks familiar. Not only does Brandon Routh star on Legends of Tomorrow, but he also played the Man of Steel once upon a time in Superman Returns. Thanks to Crisis, he gets to suit up as Clark Kent once more, but this time a different take on the character. 20. Anyway, about those people Batman killed Naturally, Bruce Wayne keeps trophies of the enemies he’s killed. The first we see is a Joker card. At long last, the Clown Prince of Crime finally got what was coming to him. 21. Two-for-one We then see a shot of Riddler’s cane and what looks like Mr. Freeze’s snow globe, meaning Batman has definitely killed them both off. 22. But not this We also see Clark Kent’s glasses as it’s revealed that Batman actually killed Superman on this Earth. 23. Lots more dead people Back on the Earth of Routh’s Clark Kent–which resembles the Kingdom Come storyline from the comics–we see all those the Man of Steel has lost, including Perry White, Jimmy Olsen, and his wife, Lois Lane. 24. Thanks to the Joker, of course Clark reveals that it was a psychopath from Gotham that played a “prank” on the Daily Planet because they weren’t writing about him enough. 25. And Kingdom Come Superman was born At that point, this Clark puts on his Superman costume, revealing the iconic Kingdom Come design that was previously teased. 26. Superman vs. Superman It’s not Batman v Superman. It’s actually better as Routh’s Superman, under Lex Luthor’s control, attempts to destroy Hoechlin’s Superman. 27. Another familiar face The Legends have plenty of experience with Jonah Hex, but not this version. Johnathon Schaech reprises his role in the Arrow-verse, playing another Earth’s Hex. 28. Another super baby We learn that Routh’s Superman either has or had a son named Jason. This is a nod to Superman Returns, where it’s hinted that the son of Lois Lane–Jason White–is actually Superman’s child. 29. Enter the Anti-Monitor At long last, we meet the Monitor’s arch-nemesis–the Anti-Monitor. It’s a terrible name and, yes, it’s pulled from the comics. 30. A true Bird of Prey It may have only lasted 13 episodes, but it’s exciting to see Ashley Scott reprise her Birds of Prey role as Huntress. Like most of the cameos, though, it ends quickly. 31. The All-Star Squadron Ralph (Hartley Sawyer) is justified in being blown away by seeing all of these superheroes assembled. The All-Star Squadron he mentions, though, is an actual team of superheroes. They were introduced in a 1981 issue of Justice League of America and have included a long list of different heroes over the years. 32. Who is Ryan Choi Believe it or not, Ryan Choi is a character in DC Comics mythology. In fact, as in Crisis, he’s a big fan of Ray Palmer in the comics. In addition to that, though, he also becomes the Atom in the comics. 33. The devil, you say Everyone’s crossing over this year. Even Lucifer (Tom Ellis), from Netflix’s Lucifer, made a quick appearance, pointing Constantine in the right direction to track down Oliver’s soul. 34. Welcome back, Barry John Wesley Shipp returned as the Flash from Earth-90–otherwise known as the Flash from the 1990 TV series. It’s always fun to see that old suit. 35. Black Lightning’s back For the first time, Black Lightning was officially acknowledged as part of the Arrow-verse. Jefferson Pierce (Cress Williams) arrived to help out the rest of the heroes and learned that his Earth was wiped out by the anti-matter wave. 36. Batwoman v Supergirl Thankfully, this didn’t turn into an actual fight. Still, seeing these two come face-to-face, ready to battle, was a special moment that hopefully gets explored in the future. 37. A nod to Gail Simone Ryan Choi was co-created by Gail Simone. With that in mind, it’s nice to hear the prolific writer get a small nod with Choi’s daughter being names Simone. 38. Flash vanishes in Crisis It’s been promised since The Flash first premiered on The CW. In the end, though, it wasn’t Earth-1’s Barry that was destroyed in the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Instead, it was Earth-90’s. 39. Poor Tina Before his demise, though, Earth-90’s Barry flashed back to a moment with the woman he loved, Tina (Amanda Pays), from the original Flash series. 40. The Spectre While tracking down Oliver’s soul in purgatory, Constantine and company happen upon Jim Corrigan (Stephen Lobo), the Spectre. He wants Oliver to become a Spectre, rather than being resurrected. It’s interesting to note–which Constantine does–that this is not the Corrigan that John knows. On NBC’s Constantine, the role was played by Emmett J. Scanlan. 41. The Vanishing Point The place where our heroes are sent to is pulled right from the comics. The Vanishing Point exists in a dimension outside of the time/space continuum. 42. A Crisis reversal This shot of Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and Superman (Routh) puts an interesting spin on the cover of the Crisis on Infinite Earths comics. On the cover, Superman is holding a dead Supergirl. from GameSpot - All Content https://ift.tt/35oaAYl

Trevor Francis opens up on pain of losing his wife, his relationship with Brian Clough and THAT goal

& # 39; When I sit in my garden and close my eyes, I see that goal still in Munich. A zero, give me the European Cup. Thank you very much . & # 39; – Brian Clough

The man who made his manager's dreams come true, that the night in Bavaria is sitting quietly at a table in Leicester. Nearly 40 years have passed since Trevor Francis, the pipe read cleaner and elusive as smoke, stretched to the distant post to meet John Robertson and led Nottingham Forest in football folklore.

He remembers how fast I had to run to meet that ball. He remembers what it felt like to fall and bounce from the rubber surface of the shotgun circle of the Olympic Stadium that was just next to the field, next to the goal. He remembers the pressure he felt as the first player of millions of pounds; remembers the elation and relief when his goal Forest yielded a 1-0 win over Malmo.

Sportsmail

& # 39; It was a magical moment & # 39 ;, says Francis. & # 39; I used to write a column for the Roy of the Rovers comic and this was my own Roy of the Rovers moment. A European debut in a cup final and the winning goal. Nobody had ever done that, right? Maybe Roy Race did it, I don't know. "

Francis is now 64 and has the full heart of football memories after more than 30 years in the game. He also still bears the pain of the two toughest years of his life. His wife Helen was in lost to cancer in April 2017 and, in his own words, Francis did not fully adhere to it. & # 39; When you join the first team, you don't think football will ever stop, and I didn't think Helen and I would ever quit. She was my best friend and I could not have done anything I would have done without her. We have been married for 43 years. You know, every day is difficult. I get pretty lonely. I have to. & # 39;

The day Trevor Francis went from Birmingham to Nottingham Forest for £ 1m in February 1979, I arrived in a Jaguar on the City Ground. His wife was wearing a fur coat.

Author Duncan Hamilton has described it as the day that English football is the belu ids barrier broke. Brian Clough, the Forest Manager, arrived in shorts and was wearing a squash racket. He was the one who was the target. & # 39; That was not true & # 39 ;, Francis laughs. & # 39; It was £ 1,150,000. Cloughie tried to relieve me of the pressure.

At the end of the European Championship, Francis leads the winning goal for Nottingham Forest in the European Cup Final of 1979

Francis came to Forest as an international English with a history of a quick start. I joined Birmingham when I was 16, hoping to form the youth team and went straight to the first XI.

Dubbed & # 39; Superboy & # 39 ;, the BBC Sports Report program has started broadcasting with the spirited observation. : & # 39; Trevor Francis did not score today & # 39; and yet the superstar who arrived at Forest eight years later was actually quite nervous.

& # 39; It was no different than when I first joined the English team & # 39 ;, he says. & # 39; You are trying to look and I did when I arrived to draw. It was a great opportunity.

& # 39; The other boys clearly looked at me. Is it a great time, Charlie? What is he like? But they didn't have to worry. Cloughie had already put Kenny Burns into shape. If I could do that, I wouldn't have any problems with me. Francis speaks with Ian Ladyman prior to the launch of his new book on Monday "class =" 0 "/> span> span> </

The story of Francis & # 39; s first run-out in the Bos comic strip is known.With the postponement of Forest & # 39; s first team, Francis played that Saturday morning for the & # 39; A & # 39; team on a campsite by the river de Trent, his manager was just one of the 20 spectators, plus dogs.

& # 39; Don't say anything, but then it could be & # 39 ;, Francis laughs. & # 39; I just think nobody knew.

When Forest reached the European Cup Final, Clough left the team a squadron cut in white wine the night before and left Martin O'Neill to sign his record with his team.

Neill reminds him of this every time they meet, but he can't get the last word before eleven. & # 39; Robbo was the best player in Europe, but was probably never recognized as such because he was Scottish and not English, "he said. says Francis. & # 39; But we knew what his value was.

& # 39; The boss was his favorite, but we accepted it because we knew that Robbo would take us to where we all wanted to go.

& # 39; Clough would tell us to give Robbo the ball. Stan Bowles said, "Enough about Robbo. Give me the f ****** ball." Stan didn't last long in Forest. "

Clough had a photo of the Francis goal on his desk for a while. For everything the big man has achieved in the club – including two European Cups and the League title – that moment stands out.

The scorer claims his side that he only really got to know Clough when they worked together on television eleven, his career had ended.

Not that Francis ever asked him about the strange way in which his career forest ended.

Wounded before Forest's appearance in the European Cup final the following season against Hamburg, Francis was not even asked during a short period in the hospital. He was then told by Clough's secretary that he would not be allowed to travel with the team before the game.

Instead, the attacker who scored twice in the quarterfinals at Dynamo Berlin and again against Ajax in the semifinals watched the final with Helen on a TV in the basement of a hotel in Cannes.

& # 39; I felt like an outsider, & # 39; Francis nods. & # 39; Whatever Brian Clough did, but looking back, it was just wrong. It was a classic contradiction. He was so great about the value of "the team". Let me get the tea for the players when I first arrived. Have Peter Shilton make the tea.

& # 39; But the ultimate contradiction comes when I never leave myself at the end. Yes, it was wrong of him. But did I ever ask him about it later? Of course not.

& # 39; He was still the boss. Years later I was at the swimming pool in Spain when Garry Birtles called me and said "The boss has died". He was in charge until the end. "

Francis left Forest in September 1981. Why Clough sold him to Manchester City was never explained. His time at City Ground was short but the brand was indelible. He does not have to photograph on his desk to take it to him A run, a stretch, a header, a tumble and then a simple celebration. Two hands in the air.

I had two celebrations, "he says." One arm up or two arms up Nowadays they rehearse parties in training. That's a bit embarrassing, don't you think? & # 39;

published on Monday, does not tell Francis how he met his wife.

In his excellent autobiography It is generally a football book. So this is the story in his own words. & # 39; I met her on vacation in Mallorca in 1972 when I was about 18, & # 39; he says. & # 39; I assumed there would be four or five in the city. & # 39;

& # 39; I assumed there would be four or five in the city. There were more than 30.

& # 39; In the preseason in Birmingham I went to a telephone kiosk and tucked in my 2p and called them all one by one. It was, "Excuse me, do you have a Helen working for you?" Then: "Sorry we don't know that name". Continue. Another. The same answer. Continue. Then, after 15 attempts, I found her.

& # 39; That was the beginning of our relationship. From that moment on we were inseparable, but it was not easy for her when we first went to Forest.

People were very jealous of her. The way she was dressed. Her appearance. The wife of the first footballer of a million pounds

& Then the begging letters from all over the country started asking for money. Then the fur coat she wore drew letters from the animal rights people. Then others would say that she spends her husband's money on clothing. She was young, only 25. It was difficult.

& # 39; But when she moved on to football, she solidified it. I've played. She used to get requests for interviews from fashion magazines and such, but she always said no. She just wanted to support me.

& # 39; She had great family values. Family always came first. Our two boys who worshiped them, but there was only one number 1 and that was me.

At the end of his book, Francis simply says about Helen's death: & # 39; Life without her is so difficult. & # 39; Asked if this is something of an understatement, he simply says:

This is an interview that more was requested 18 months ago. At the time, Francis did not feel ready or able to talk. After two decades of watching TV, I haven't been on our screens much either.

& # 39; I just didn't think I could do it and I don't find this conversation very easy right away, "he says. & # 39; But two years have passed. & # 39;

At Helen & # 39; s funeral, Graeme Souness – with whom Francis played in Italy – held onto his friend and told him: & # 39; Every man in that church would love Helen as his wife. "

Kenny Burns, a hard man in Forest, has been a regular caller.

& # 39; No phone call, no email & # 39 ;, he writes in the book. & # 39; It is absolutely disgusting & # 39; Francis does not tell too much of this school in his autobiography. He reveals that Clough had become drunk with his team for a competition in Hillsborough when Francis was the manager of Sheffield Wednesday and there was a board meeting in Birmingham at the Nightclub Stringfellows

The length that Brady reportedly entered to try to stop the sale of striker Paul Peschisolido is also Brady was accidentally married to the player at the time.

More importantly, the Trevor Francis who sits and talks for an hour is fascinating and energetic, TV work again and falling in love with the game.

Francis starts picking up some TV work again and stays in love with the game

I don't like it when I wake up and nothing is planned have & # 39 ;, he says. & # 39; That's the worst part.

& # 39; It is so difficult because of the deep love I had for Helen and also because I am useless in the house. She did everything for me. I don't mind acknowledging that.

& # 39; Suddenly I live alone and I suppose I never thought this would ever happen.

Francis was a superstar football player, from boy to man.

However, nobody is immune to grief, he played in England, Italy, Scotland and the World Cup. Not even our heroes.

Brian Clough's Nigel once said that Francis was one of the few signing sessions that his father and assistant Peter Taylor once really agreed to.
