If comics bounce back after Coronavirus DC knows it needs something BIG to kickstart interest to pull people back to the trough and they have been thinking of actually doing Alan Moore's infamous Twilight Of The Superheros project that was pitched but never approved. Apparently they bought the pitch from Moore and they can go ahead without him. Personally I always thought it read like a bad Constantine fanfic but I guess DC figures after Doomsday Clock why bother any pretense they'll ever get Moore back?
So who scripts it? Who pencils? And how much or little is changed?
I can see Billy Batson still being killed by J'onn but I think the incest angle with him and Mary Marvel is dropped. What else?
Moore's going to do those Twilight vampires in a comic book series?

written by geoff johns
and art by clay mann
it takes 3 years to complete 12 issues.
its hilariously worse than doomsday clock.
Leo Thomas
this seems just crazy enough to work desu
Jackson Fisher
After doomsday clock I seriously can't see geoff johns working on another comic. Holy shit can he go fuck himself.
Gabriel Butler
This is the worst thread of 2020 on Yas Forums. It's like one of the two retards that hated Doomsday Clock shouting into the dark waiting for the other guy who hated Doomsday Clock to join him, but he never did.
Jason Reed
Most of Yas Forums hated Doomsday Clock, were you even there for the storytimes?
DC already did this MULTIPLE times, though. Kingdom Come, Injustice, The Dark Knight sequels and even that one story where all superheroes lost their powers or some shit and Superman and Shazam fought over Wonder Woman like cavemen.

>Apparently they bought the pitch from Moore and they can go ahead without him. God, what a bunch of jews.
Elijah Long
Actually, him getting his hands on those would probably twist it into something really creepy and good.
Aiden Murphy
Wasn't Twilight proposed before all that shit?
Jackson Walker
You're a schizo.

In for the pitch perfect Constantine

It'd better be /ss/ the way I read it, if Moore knows what's good for him.
>celebrating the fact that they'll steal his pitch and let someone else write it I'd go bananas if they clear this. I don't care about watchmen I wasn't some sacred cow fag. But this is theft. Handing ideas off to other writers has always been scummy and the creators who make this might as well have raped a child in my eyes.
Andrew Adams
>he liked doomsday clock Kys
Kevin Jones
Oh boy the same writers and artists doing the same things over and over again. I sure love this fresh originality in my FUNNY BOOKS.
Liam Butler
If they bought the idea, it's theirs now
Grayson Morris
>Personally I always thought it read like a bad Constantine fanfic
I mean, it was edgy as fuck in terms of content, but otherwise it's fairly good usage of Constantine in the DCU in a mature manner.
Grayson Thompson
>written by geoff johns Looks like kino is back on the menu, chads.
Connor Martin
This is nonsense. DC doesn't need another meme name writer just to get headlines, especially if the reason is just to rekindle interest. If anything, there've been too many events recently. Not to mention the current existing ones like 3 Jokers and Death Metal which already have plenty of hype.
Ryan Anderson
I dont read that book of text. So it is watchmen world, a more realistic world that has impact on the whole universe?
So it is about events and being a test to heroes which way they want to go?
Noah Long
I agree if it was a propose that Moore did. That was always scummy, getting someones idea he wants to do woth your company, but than you make it "cheaper" with someone else.
If it like Said, they own it and Moore might be named as inspiration.
Parker Taylor
Johnsfags are so triggered. I would love Johns behind this
>If comics bounce back after Coronavirus Then the same managers and executives who decided to employ Tumblr TDS SJW retards instead of people with actual talent as their workforce, and the same TDS SJW retards who spend more time Twattering about orange man bad and whining about imaginary Nazis everywhere than they do working the pen and working their self-education, will all be back in the seat fucking everything up as usual. There's no going back, dumbfaggot Westsois have ruined comics for those of us overseas who don't give a shittoss about your faggot ideology and politics.
Luke Johnson
>Personally I always thought it read like a bad Constantine fanfic That's easily fixed by simply changing Constantine to someone else. I mean, the ending doesn't even really make sense. John tells the love of his life to fuck off, and that stops the world from going insane despite establishing that John just spent 12 issues causing the future to insane? What a load of bullshit, even for comics.
Just change Constantine's role to someone else. Alter the ending to something more upbeat, less character-wanky. And its all good.
The core of Twilight of the Heroes was a pretty decent.
Luke Scott
I wonder what 2000AD would need to offer Moore to finish The Ballad of Halo Jones
Camden Wright
Twilight fucking sucked, though. Like everyone was dramatically, wildly out of character for no reason.
Cameron Nguyen
>The core of Twilight of the Heroes was a pretty decent. No it fucking wasn’t, what the hell are you talking about? Everyone was wildly out of character.
Jayden Bell
>wildly out of character for no reason. The reason is to explore what you can do with characters in different settings you stupid not muh faggot. Grow up you stupid manchildren, the only thing that matters in art is if the product is good or not, not how much warmy feels it gives you.
Nolan Gray
You read it, parallel world user? Anyway, fuck if, you did not create those characters, you do not own those characters, you are not the authority in this matter.
Parker Rivera
>If Superman doesn't hug someone right now im gonna kill myself
If there's any value to a company-wide event, it either comes from the creator's name being attached or from the position it puts the company in after the event.
If there's no permanent or semi-permanent changes to the setting, there's no point. We often hear that controversy sells but we also see that the sales dips on almost all titles after launch or relaunch are so great that it could only be explained by stores over-ordering titles to get rare variants for the collector market. Almost nobody reads a non-event limited series from start to finish or follows a title from launch to cancellation. The same is true with even big events - sales tend to dip significantly over 6 issues or so. The longer the event, the more hype it needs to generate to stay profitable as a project.
So that means a creator's name needs to be attached. But there wouldn't be any reason to attach Alan Moore's name to this if he's not going to be involved - and he has retired from comic books - because basically everything has to be done from the ground up. It was just a pitch, for a limited series with an idea that's already been done by DC and Marvel in various ways several times in the intervening years. It is no longer going to have originality on its side; it needs to be fully scripted for the first time anyway. At that point you may as well abandon Moore's own specifics for the characters.
Why abandon them? Because Alan Moore is a well-known public figure. He's written multiple comic books that have been adapted into film, rarely with his blessing and never with his approval of the final product. Which means that even if DC holds the full rights to his proposal - which seems unlikely - he still has the right not to have his name attached to it. In essence, DC would be trying to trade on his brand without his permission - they may own the story concepts, but not his name and DC, now based in Burbank, cannot afford to piss off WGA.
Julian Reed
the pitch is still out there, it's not scripted, it's just a detailed proposal
Caleb Lee
>114135889 goddamn, i feel bad for this user
eating so much shit for such a shitty story
Nolan Phillips
Which makes you the type of retard that values ideas over execution. Basically, you read the synopsis of something and decide if it's good or not.
William Ward
Twilight of the super heroes is based and the only thing I hope is that they dont fuck with it to much.
As far as scripting, I'm not sure who would be a good fit for this. Since in t is very large scale and kind of epic, so I think I'd probably say scott snyder could be a viable pick.
As far as art no one at current dc stands out to me desu. I'd almost like an alex Ross kind of deal like kingdom come, but it probably doest fit.
Yeah the arts a wash. No real dc art standouts for me I guess.
God I want this to happen so bad though.
Jason Davis
>WOT IF SUPERHERO WAS EDGY ARSEHOLE! Wow, so fresh and original. Truly this will sell a billion copies.
>faggot who doesn't pay for comics yells at someone for wanting to.
Brayden Cook
Faggots like you don't seem to understand how retarded "my out of character batman completely lays bare the concept of batman" really is.
If you spend your whole comic telling me why blue is actually red it doesn't make me think blue is red it makes me think you're retarded and don't understand colors.
Leo Lopez
How about I faggot all over your face?
Carson Green
Yes. You cancer.
Nicholas Morgan
Since you're clearly one person lets reiterate your statements: >I don't buy comics >I don't care about characterization >I don't think people who bit comics should disagree with my tastes >this means they need to grow up
Are you twelve or severely autistic?
Landon Adams
Except you are not a batman expert user, your autistic personal taste is irrelevant. Based
Daniel Murphy
>you're clearly one person Wrong. Let's go over you now >industry is in a shit taste >"But I support it! I give my money to it so we can continue eating shit" Congrats. Idiot.
Robert Green
How about I idiot all over your face?
Jordan Torres
isn't this the whole point of the story , that they characterization is utterly wrong to show how a character don't/can't be written
Luke Moore
Sounds like you just want to suck my dick.
Caleb Jones
How about I suck my dick all over your face?
Parker Cooper
>YAY Moore's Twilight of the Superheroes finally sees the light of day! >... >Written by Bendis >Art by Land So far the Year of Our Lord 2020 has been a complete and total cluster so yeah I can see this happening.
James Thompson
>C knows it needs something BIG to kickstart interest to pull people back
No they dont. What makes you people even think this?
Lucas Ortiz
You're a bit kinky for me, user. Go find yourself a nice fella that will accept all your fetishes and stupidity.
