IGN: Os 25 Momentos mais memoráveis da DC

Este ano o site americano americano IGN elegeu os 25 momentos mais memoráveis da história da editora DC.



25. Sue & Ralph Dibny: Ghost Detectives-52 #52

[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]

Identity Crisis took the DC Universe to a very dark place in 2004. It began with the murder of Sue Dibny, faithful wife and partner to Elongated Man. The darkness deepened when it was revealed that Sue had previously been raped by Doctor Light, forcing a group of JLA-ers to mind-wipe the villain.

Sue may have died, but Ralph carried on for several years, languishing in an ever-deepening spiral of despair and apparent alcoholism. The weekly series 52 chronicled Ralph's final odyssey as he sought a way to resurrect his wife and ultimately sacrificed his life battling Felix Faust and Neron.

The final issue of 52 delivered the happy ending fans had been longing for. Ralph was finally reunited with his wife in death, and the two embarked on another detective case together. It wasn't just the finale Ralph and Sue deserved, it was a sign that the endless cycle of darkness and despair in the DCU had finally been broken.

24. The Dead Return-Blackest Night



[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]



The realization of the Blackest Night prophecy first cropped up at the end of the Sinestro Corps War, and writer Geoff Johns turned those cryptic words into an event as epic as it was horrifying. Nearly everyone who had ever died in the DC Universe was now crawling up out of the earth as zombified Black Lanterns. The Black Lantern rings called out for flesh as they sprawled the universe for corpses of heroes and villains alike, and when they found their targets, artist Ivan Ries turned in some of the greatest (and most gruesome) work of his career.

What made the eventual rise of the dead so great was the build-up. Teaser images of deceased characters sticking an undead fist out of the grave enticed readers with a chance to see their favorite dearly departed again. The brutal murder of beloved characters freshly relieved of their emotionally-filled hearts caused the Black Lantern power battery to slowly tick up towards that dreaded 100% mark. To Johns' credit, Nekron's strategic use of certain characters rising from the grave proved the event had as much smarts as it did gore.

As for a favorite "RISE" moment, the splash page of Batman vomiting up a swarm of rings is a contender, and the resurrected Justice League members being reclaimed by Nekron is epic, but it is hard to beat Aquaman's zombie sharks. That's right: Zombie. Sharks.

23. Lex Luthor Solves Superman's Identity-Superman Vol. 2 #2


[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]





Ironically taking place during DC's last major revamp of their superhero comics, Lex Luthor finally achieved a lifelong goal by deducing the secret identity of Superman. However, in a stroke of genius, John Byrne turned what should have been one of Lex's greatest successes into a commentary on his blind lust for power.

When he's told that Superman is actually the meek Clark Kent of the Daily Planet, he refuses to believe it, arguing that no one with such great powers as Superman could possibly resort to fumbling around as a mild-mannered human being. With only a few lines of self-assured dialog, Byrne not only defined Lex Luthor for a new age, but gave readers a deep insight into the mind of Superman's greatest nemesis.

Whether he's a mad scientist, a corrupt politician or erudite businessman, Luthor's thirst for power has rarely been more prevalent than in this classic moment.

22. Animal Man Meets His Maker-Animal Man #26


[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]

Reading Grant Morrison's Animal Man run is not unlike watching a Looney Tunes short at times. There was the memorable early issue where Buddy Baker encountered an immortal coyote wandering the desert and suffering a thousand gruesome deaths. There was the disembodied god figure, filling in the page with his brush and constantly dreaming up new torments for his characters.

But in the grand finale of Morrison's run, Buddy did what the coyote was never able to do and met the god of his universe. That god was none other than Grant Morrison. As the writer described it in his nonfiction book Supergods, he donned a "fiction suit" and entered the DC Universe like an astronaut on some distant, alien, hostile world.

Issue #26 remains one of the finest examples of fourth-wall breaking in comics. Together with his hero, Morrison explored the nature of fiction and the strange relationship people have with stories. This issue served as a foundation for many of the themes and ideas he would continue to explore in books like The Invisibles and Final Crisis.

21. The Six's Last Stand-Secret Six Vol. 2 #36

[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]

If you frequent IGN Comics, then you know how big of fans we are of the Secret Six. This lovable group of DCU deviants has been one of our favorite teams to follow since their debut in the Infinite Crisis tie-in mini-series Villains United. Just the thought of Catman now being one of the coolest characters in the DCU goes to show you how successful Gail Simone has been in turning this cast of D/C-listers into some of this fictional universe's biggest badasses. But maybe the greatest display of how much this cast as grown and moved up through the ranks of the DCU comes in the final issue of the recently-concluded Secret Six ongoing, issue #36.

During the Six's blitzkrieg of Gotham, led by Bane to once again break the Batman, the team gets themselves cornered in an abandoned warehouse by an army of superheroes, even attracting the attention of heavy-hitters such as Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Superman and the rest of the Justice League and Teen Titans. It was at this moment that the Six had entered the big leagues, fully solidifying themselves as powerful threats to the DCU. And instead of admitting they're outnumbered and surrendering, the Six decided to go out the same way they came in: fighting for their lives.

In an epic Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid moment, the Secret Six stormed onto the battlefield fully prepared to die with smirks on their faces. It was absolutely the perfect send off for this team. Because let's be honest, a quiet, leisurely stroll into the sunset has never been this team's style, and that's why we love them.

20. Booster Gold Goes Legit-52



[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]


To the superhero community of the DCU, Booster Gold is known as many things, but a righteous do-gooder he is not. As far as Batman, Superman, Green Lantern and everyone else is concerned, Booster is nothing more than a squirrel trying to get his nut. But underneath that gold and blue costume plastered with advertisements head to toe is the true unsung hero of the DC Universe. Booster Gold: the protector of time and space. Booster Gold going completely legit stems back to the seminal weekly series, 52. It was in that series that Booster, along with the help of Rip Hunter, put a stop to Mister Mind, who was out to devour the entire Multiverse. But Booster's actions were never celebrated. In order to keep the Multiverse spinning, Booster could never tell a soul about his heroic, selfless actions. Booster was forced to remain the Buster Bluth of the DCU -- neither seen nor heard. But even though this new line of work went contrary to his self-centered M.O., Booster continued to serve as Rip's partner, traveling through time and space correcting anomalies and ensuring the Multiverse didn't collapse into itself. Booster might have sacrificed fame and fortune, but in return he became an honest-to-god hero up until the end of the DCU as we know it.

19. The Bat-Mindwipe-Identity Crisis #6


[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]


The term "Crisis" is usually reserved for DC events with universe-altering consequences and all-out super brawls, but 2004's Identity Crisis by Brad Meltzer and Rags Morales proved the world could be changed in equally devastating fashion all because of what happened when Sue Dibny was left alone on a quiet night. While her fate is as tragic as they come, what it led to was something far more horrific: in an effort to protect their secret identities, Zatanna, backed by a small group of Justice Leaguers, effectively lobotomized numerous villains to make them forget their actions, as well as change their behavior. Worse, when they were discovered by Batman, the group voted to mindwipe the world's greatest detective.

Fans were as outraged at this news as the villains and heroes in the story. The secret price the heroes paid to protect themselves left a sickly feeling in anyone who cared to think about it. Identity Crisis led to a slew of revelatory moments, but it was Batman's mindwipe that stood above the rest because it changed the tone of the DC Universe to one of mistrust, doubt, and helplessness that would define the relationship of the heroes for years to come. Lesson learned: don't lobotomize the Batman.

18. John Stewart Blows Up Xanshi -Cosmic Odyssey #2


[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]

Most heroes have that singular point in their careers where they really dun goofed. For Hank Pym, it was the time he slapped his wife. For Peter Parker, it was when he let Uncle Ben's soon-to-be killer run free. And for John Stewart, it was the day he killed an entire planet through sheer hubris.

Cosmic Odyssey, John was one of several Earth heroes tapped to battle a manifestation of the Anti-Life Equation. He and Martian Manhunter fought to protect the planet Xanshi from the influence of Anti-Life. Arrogant and overconfident, John brushed aside his partner's help, only to discover in the final moments of the battle that the planet was about to be destroyed by a yellow bomb. Powerless to defuse it, John could only mutter "How did they know?" over and over as Xanshi was obliterated.

Xanshi is the black mark on John's career that will never be wiped away. The incident is so defining that it became the inspiration for an episode of the Justice League animated series. His only consolation is that, since he blew up Mogo in War of the Green Lanterns, now everyone can be mad at him for something else for a change.

17. Hal Jordan Redeemed-Final Night #5


[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]

Hal Jordan was the greatest of the Green Lanterns, but when Cyborg Superman and Mongul destroyed his hometown of Coast City, he went a little crazy. Thinking he could restore the city with enough power, he made a beeline for Oa, killing many of his brethren in the process, and absorbed the energy of the central power battery to become Parallax – a being with vast power and scary shoulder pads.

A chance for redemption seemed impossible for a man who had fallen so low, but in the pages of The Final Night #5 he got just that. The Sun-Eater had depleted Earth's sun, leaving everyone on the planet to freeze to death. Despite Ganthet offering him a new Green Lantern ring to take up his former role, Hal declined, instead using his power to destroy the Sun-Eater and reignite the sun, sacrificing his life in the process. Passing on an easy way out and knowingly going on a one-way mission to save the Earth earned Hal the redemption few thought possible.

His actions allowed for him to become the Spectre and then eventually be reborn in Green Lantern: Rebirth, which then led to great stories like Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night.

16. Batman and Son-Batman #656



[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]




This is what happens when you can't keep the little bat in the utility belt. Thanks to a hot and steamy night of passion shared between Batman and Talia al Ghul under the desert moon, a little present arrived on Bruce Wayne's doorstep shouting "Daddy!" nine years later.

Okay, that's not exactly how it happened. Instead, Batman was vacationing in London when a group of ninja man-bats overpowered him and dragged him into a cave so Talia could reveal her little nine-year-old secret. Yeah... that sounds a lot better. No Maury Show DNA test could save Bruce, and he became a vigilante detective making frequent stops to OshKosh B'Gosh overnight.

While Batman was already privy to a bunch of children running around in his mansion (hey, holster it!), Damian Wayne represents Bruce's first and only biological son (as far as we know). Damian also lacked the discipline and moral compass of previous Boy Wonders, making him quite a handful to nurture and train.

But through the power of impeccable storytelling, Grant Morrison and the rest of the writers at DC have grown Damian Wayne from hated brat to lovable, entitled dick. Furthermore, Damian earned his feathers and is now the official Boy Wonder, something the majority of DC fans aren't complaining about. It's been a long road, but Bruce Wayne's perfect little swimmer has overcome more than just Joker toxin and an awkward striptease from Professor Pyg. Damian has bested the toughest of challenges: winning over the hearts of DC's rabid fans.

15.Clark Reveals Himself to Lois-Action Comics #662


[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]


It's tough keeping a secret for fifty years, and finally, in 1991, Clark fessed up to what is likely the only lie he's ever told. After getting engaged, Clark finally reveals his double life as Superman to Lois. It's interesting to note that it was quite the long engagement – the two wouldn't seal the deal until 1996 – but was it due to Lois dealing with this shocker of a reveal? More likely it was that Superman did that whole "dying" thing not long after he slipped the ring on her finger.

While only in comic books could a man survive a woman's scorn after being lied to her entire adult life by the man she loves, this moment stands as one of the most anticipated reveals in the history of the DC Universe. Lois is a smart cookie, and it was long overdue to give her a more active role in Superman's life other than a damsel in distress.

14.Superman vs. The Flash-Superman #199


[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]


Back in the day, there were three questions that every little boy or girl who ever read a comic book yearned to have answered. Why are we here? Is there a God? Who's the fastest superhero?

The grand-daddy of comic book nerd debates, predating the naissance of "Who would win in a fight: Wolverine or the Hulk?" by seven years, the debate over the fastest superhero was finally addressed when Superman and the Flash met each other on the track in 1967's Superman #199. The track, in this case, was a little longer than the circumference of the Earth, and rules were instated to level the playing field a bit, making the result a bit more believable for fans. However, in a plot twist that would set the tone for Superman/Flash races over the next 23 years, mitigating circumstances led to a tie between the two speedsters.

Instead of inciting a revolt from DC's (likely bespectacled and asthmatic) fan base, though, Jim Shooter's monumental tease only intensified the debate. Not too shabby for a 15-year-old kid from Pittsburgh.

13. Wonder Woman Snaps (Literally)-Wonder Woman Vol. 2 #219


[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]



Superman is being mind-controlled by Maxwell Lord and Wonder Woman, while certainly a match for the Man of Steel, cannot find a way to subdue him. What's an Amazonian Princess to do? She grabs Maxwell Lord by the head and snaps his neck in front of the cameras of the world. That page in Wonder Woman #219 has infamously become a defining moment in her superhero career, stirring up the wild fan debate over whether she is a monster, a tough-as-nails warrior hero, or equal parts of both. Batman disapproved because he does not believe in killing even villains, but he could be equally criticized for his unwillingness to do what was necessary.

Alongside the fallout of Identity Crisis and the death of Ted Kord, Wonder Woman's murderous act became one of the standout moments of the modern era.


________________


12.Batman Shoots Darkseid-Final Crisis #5

[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]

Other than a few youthful dalliances, Batman has never used guns. Everybody but Tim Burton knows that. But sometimes, the multiverse is in peril and the stakes are so high that a hero has to put aside his morals and choose the greater good... by shooting a coughing, wheezing old man in the chest.

By the penultimate issue of Final Crisis, Darkseid had dragged the planet into a vortex of despair and suffering. Most of the world's population had become slaves to the Anti-Life Equation. Cats and dogs were living together, mass hysteria – the whole bit. But even Anti-Life couldn't stop Batman. He armed himself with the same gun Darkseid used to kill his son Orion, and he shot the dark god with a radion bullet.

Batman paid a terrible price for the act, as a split second later he was blasted by Darkseid's Omega Sanction and whisked away on a trip through time. But he had done his part to save the Multiverse. And technically, he didn't break his rule about killing. Superman was the one who actually killed Darkseid. By whistling, no less.

11.Terra: Traitor! -The New Teen Titans #34

[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]


Tara Markov betraying the Teen Titans wasn't exactly a secret to anyone (except, of course, for the Titans themselves). But under the banner of Marv Wolfman and George Perez's New Teen Titans, there was a sense of renewal in the air, and thus, the introduction to a new character banked on reader's assumptions of a new team member. Though the mysterious hero known as Terra worked with the Titans for some time, issue #34 revealed that without a doubt, the character was a bit off her rocker and in cahoots with Deathstroke.

The real shock of the early reveal of her betrayal comes from the fact that we, as readers, knew something the Titans did not, as we continued to watch them develop a relationship with her despite her plans to betray them. As the building blocks to the legendary Teen Titans arc The Judas Contract, the reveal of Terra's ulterior motives is one of the most ominous and exciting moments in the history of the DCU.

___________


10.A Robin Dies Batman #427-428


[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]


Crowbar. For Batman fans, that word dredges up a mess of memories. The most famous of which is the second Robin's death (Jason Todd) at the hands of the Joker. After bashing in his brains with a crowbar, the Joker left Robin to die in an explosion, his corpse to be found later in the wreckage by Batman. After that moment, Bruce Wayne was never the same about having a sidekick, always keeping them at (further) arm's length just in case there was another death in the family. Because let's face it, Bruce Wayne doesn't cope with death so well. Clearly.

The death of Jason Todd was also a significant moment for DC outside the fictional pages. Todd's death was the first time ever that fans were able to vote on a character's fate. And as luck would have it, fans of the DCU were not too pleased with the second Robin, securing the character's gruesome demise.

Sure, Todd eventually returned to the DCU all grown up and carrying a big ass chip on his shoulder, but that doesn't undermine the significance of the character's original death. It was a catalyst that carried stories in the Batman universe for years. And it all traces back to a simple object: the crowbar.

9.Sinestro Corps Revealed-Green Lantern:Sinestro Corps Special#1


[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]



Geoff Johns had slowly been teasing the return of Sinestro and his new Corps throughout the early months of 2007. But until The Sinestro Corps War officially kicked off, readers had no idea just how dire the threat really was. Sinestro, once the greatest Green Lantern and now its most hated enemy, had armed himself with 7200 minions all charged with the power of fear.

But that was just the beginning. He then freed Parallax and made Kyle Rayner the new host for the embodiment of fear. He recruited Cyborg-Superman and his army on Manhunters. He busted Superboy-Prime out of prison. And on the final page of the issue, we learned that all of these villains were working for the universe-devouring Anti-Monitor. It was about the most fearsome assemblage of villains ever in a DC book, and it set the stakes incredibly high for the crossover.

______________


8. Batman Punches Guy Gardner-Justice League International #5


[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]


At the time that Justice League International #5 came out, no single comic book character deserved a punch to the face more than Guy Gardner. He was a grade-A douche that loved to push everyone's buttons and that caused the tension within the team to build up more and more with each passing issue. It was only a matter of time before someone stepped up and planted one right in the kisser. The fact that it was Batman who did the deed is the strongest reason for why it's so damn memorable.

By the time their confrontation came to a head, some fans might have expected Guy and Batman to have an all-out brawl, or something equally cliché. Instead we got a single panel; a lone "BONK" that ended up being more satisfying than just about any over-the-top climactic battle in all of comics. It's nearly 25 years later and comics still have trouble replicating such a hilarious, rewarding and perfectly executed comedic moment.

______________


7.Lois and Clark Get Hitched-Superman: The Wedding Album


[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]

The marriage between these decades-long lovers is one of the most memorable moments in comic book history (but only because the consummation of said marriage happened off panel). Much like Clark's admittance to being Superman after their engagement, their wedding was the payoff to decades of will they/won't they courtship that bucked the fear of putting the romantic leads together and losing chemistry.

Interestingly, the comic book wedding was timed to the popular-at-the-time television show Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. The tale was presented as Superman: The Wedding Album, a gorgeously embossed issue that included a personal invite to the wedding of the century and included many cameos from various notable Superman creators. Better yet, the wedding wasn't a typical superhero wedding -- there were no villainous party crashers (that was saved for the lackluster honeymoon) and Clark was even without powers at the time, following the events of Final Night.

6.Justice League, Meet Justice Society-Justice League of America #21


[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]

Is it coincidence that two of the biggest events in human history occurred in 1963? With the birth of Beatlemania and the first meeting of DC's two iconic super-teams happening in the same year, it's still surprising that we didn't incur a crisis of our own.

It was an era when most sentences ended with an exclamation point. More importantly, it was the birth of the era of classic JLA/JSA team-ups that resulted in Earth-2 (and later dozens more) becoming a new storytelling device for decades to come. Let's ignore the fact that they first meet via séance; more important is that the two groups of hero team-up for the first time to rescue their respective Flashes, who were kidnapped by an equally epic pairing of Earth-1 and Earth-2 villains.

As noted in the iconic cover for Justice League of America #21 (only 12 cents!), this team-up is also notable for the usage of "Crisis," a term that would later come to define many pivotal moments in the DCU.

TOP 5:


5.Dick Grayson Becomes Batman-Batman and Robin #1


[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]


An attribute shared by almost all superheroes belonging to the big two is that they do not age, do not grow up, and do not reach their final goal. If a hero aged into a senior citizen after defeating all of their foes, that would hardly make for an engaging, ongoing story. Heroes need to stay in their physical prime and maintain a recognizable costume in order to be a consistently reader-friendly, marketable character. However, Dick Grayson has defied all of those tropes to reach the pinnacle of his superhero career: he became Batman.

Watching Dick start as an orphaned acrobat who donned the Robin costume was like watching your little brother play in his first little league game. Seeing him grow into a teenager as Nightwing where he protected his own city was like sending him off to college. And witnessing him take up the Bat-mantle and wield it with as much authority and cunning as its previous owner, well, it's enough to bring a tear to your eye.

A bright young hero growing into a darker entity, learning from the rest of the Bat-family, and stepping up to fill his mentor's boots to complete a full character arc is unheard of in mainstream superhero comics. Given how most of us grew up along with him, Dick has a special place in our hearts.

__________


4. The Death of Barry Allen-Crisis on Infinite Earths #


[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]


Until his return in 2008's Final Crisis, Barry Allen was dead for 23 years. Let that sink in. In the superhero world where death is a revolving door, pushing up daisies for that long is no small feat. Barry Allen's death in Crisis on Infinite Earths is often regarded as one of the greatest, selfless sacrifices in superhero comics. It's probably why the character wasn't resurrected for so long. Barry became an untouchable messiah where no creator wanted to be the one held responsible for taking his original death lightly and tainting the character's legacy.

But no matter who you are, the dead don't stay dead forever in this industry. With that said, Barry's eventual resurrection doesn't change the fact that his original sacrifice to stop the Anti-Monitor from destroying the universe in Crisis on Infinite Earths remains one of the DCU's most memorable, of-referenced moments. Because of it, Barry Allen became the DCU's quintessential hero, maybe even more so than Superman (sorry, Supes). Barry was a beacon of purity and inspiration, which helped fuel the Flash lineage after he was gone for 20+ years.

He died like he lived: running. Cue cheesy music.

___________

3.Swamp Thing Isn't Human-The Saga of the Swamp Thing #21


[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]



By 1984, Swamp Thing's popularity was dwindling. If DC wanted the book to stay relevant then something had to be done. Enter Alan Moore with an idea so bold and so drastic that it literally turned everything we knew about Swamp Thing on its head. And while that phrase gets tossed around a lot lately, he actually delivered on such a promise.

After seemingly killing Swamp Thing with his debut in issue #20, fans wondered just what Alan Moore had planned. Swamp Thing's strange anatomy is revealed slowly, hardly making any sense, and it's at that exact moment that Moore drops a bombshell; the creature was never Alec Holland, it merely thought it was. Initially it's difficult to fathom what this meant for the creature and how it changed everything that came before, and Swamp Thing's reaction to this revelation is as heart wrenching as it is gruesome.

In the end, the creature could do nothing except return to the swamp and contemplate just what this startling revelation meant. By stripping away the human aspect of the character Moore opened up an entirely new and exciting world of possibilities and adventure, setting the stage for an epic run that still stands as one of the greatest of all time.

____________

2.Batman and the Joker Share a Laugh-Batman: The Killing Joke


[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]



The Killing Joke will probably always be remembered first and foremost as the story where Joker crippled Batgirl and kickstarted the "Women in Refrigerators" movement. But that gruesome scene isn't the highlight of the story. That point arrives at the very end, when Joker's sinister plan has come unraveled. Rather than simply punching the clown prince and sending him back to Arkham, Batman makes one final, desperate plea for understanding. He knows that one of them is doomed to kill the other if they keep up their song and dance for much longer. And Joker, in a rare moment of sane lucidity, tells him a bad joke. And they share a laugh.

It was a Batman/Joker scene unlike any other. In a bizarre way, Joker had finally won a victory over his enemy. The point was never to kill Batman, only to make him see the joke. It didn't dampen the flames of their eternal feud, but it helped readers understand how little separates the two men on a fundamental level.

1.The Death of Superman-Superman Vol. 2 #75

[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]


Before you impugn our collective intelligence, judgment, and credibility for picking one out of the numerous superhero deaths in the history of comic books as DC's biggest moment try to remember why Superman's death was different. Other deaths may have been especially surprising or long-lived, but Superman's death was bat-$#!+ crazy. Superman #75 sparked a mania that saw an estimated $30 million in comic book sales over the course of just a few days, catalyzing the impending collapse of the comic book speculator market – an event that would change the industry forever. It was global news. People who had never bought a comic book were affected on a deep, emotional level. People wore the black arm bands in public. In broad daylight. Actual memorial services were held.

Superman's death was a major paradigm shift for comic books, too. Before that, there were two things that were accepted as true: Bucky is dead and Superman always comes out on top. In a three-page fold-out image, Superman, the symbol of everlasting hope and the unconquerable power of goodness, makes the ultimate sacrifice in a desperate attempt to save his adopted people. One of the last absolutes in comics was gone forever. The fallout from the Death of Superman may have been a disappointing mess, but the moment itself remains the biggest thing to ever happen in the DC Universe.

Essa lista ela foi feita em 2010, em comemoração dos 75 anos da DC.

O engraçado é que a piada mortal , está entre o top 3 em momentos distintos.

90 por cento desses momentos foi destruido por sagas nos anos 2000 e 100 por cento foi destruido após o reboot huahahua

dc destruindo bons momentos uahau

Verdade, logos os momentos de Watchmen citados acima serão destruídos também com aquela maldita sequência.

Essa lista que o Brainiac postou é interessante, eu ia colocá-la mas ainda bem que ele já botou aqui no fórum.

Seria bom o moderador direcioná-la pra um novo post , afim de discutirmos a mesma.

Noite mais densa nessa lista é um ultraje.
