Amazing.

Hello there!

[@KOFNY]

Here before the title gets fixed from "Green Lantern" to "Green Arrow"

[@Hyena-t4r]

I was about to say 😂

[@Antbone-rx2el]

They literally just changed it lol

[@Redstriker0129]

I had to do a double take 😂

[@ericwilson8558]

Same.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Don't understand why the sudden change exactly. I didn't know it said Green Lantern before it got changed when I was saw the thumbnail of this video

[@greyworld6242]

You mean green ARROW right? Also no Oliver! You betrayed not only the league but also betrayed black canary! YOU BETRAYED THAT ASS!!!

Correct.

[@jendaar]

As far as the "Captain" reference I actually prefer it. His name is supposed to be Captain Marvel. It always was. Besides, if his name was Shazam how would he introduce himself? Someone would ask for his name and he'd just change back into Billy Batson the moment he said it.

Oliver a traitor? Fascinating concept considering he was accused of it back in the day

So many times this happens to the JL or Avengers. They saved the world so many times yet yes, they all turned bad. 😂 and ppl believe it.

DC be low key af having characters like Nubia

[@j.demarco8937]

I like how they're drawing Amanda Waller to look like Viola Davis❤. Bad as the DCEU was she absolutely IS Amanda Waller.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Would Green Lantern have made sense into betraying the Justice League like if he had to choose between listening to the Green Lantern Corps or the Justice League?

Tbh if I was Green Arrow, I would too. Most of them are absolutely bonkers that have control and anger issues.

[@dylanogg347]

Way to go, Amanda. Nothing could possibly go wrong from attacking superheroes...

[@juliuskingsely8256]

Two things here, shouldn’t Cyborg be a perfect foil for Brainiac Queen? And DC needs to just fight for the Captain Thunder trademark for Billy

[@quentinfogger5755]

Has Amanda Waller gone off the edge like why would she rid the world of Superheroes like teaming up with Failsafe and Brainiac queen of all people along with what they did to Jon Kent?

What would happen if we saw this comic book event taking place on the Big Screen or TV Shows?

[@catfish7334]

I am starting to feel like DC will run out of words to said reboot.

[@werefox85]

I usually skip out on the DC Event Comics, this one tho after watching this recap, I may find myself in my local comic shop and start to collect what seems to be an awesome DC Story. I have been wondering what happened to Failsafe as a Batman fan, a Batman AI and an Android created by Brainac to be it's equal working with Waller is not what I expected. Been a fun story to read and thanks @variant for the clear and honest telling of the story.

[@assassingio9847]

This is looking amazing so far Let's see where they are taking us 😊

Damn im calling the series of stories im making Absolute

[@SonVictor33]

Hey guys, I'm a little confused about what's going on with DC right now, and I want to make sure I have things right. From what I understand: DC All In is a place for new readers to jump in. It's still part of the main DC timeline, and nothing from this line will affect the main timeline, correct? DC Absolute is more like an alternate universe, similar to Marvel's Ultimate Universe. Nothing that happens here will impact the main DC timeline, but the stories told within the Absolute universe will be canon to that specific universe. Is that right? If I'm mistaken or missing anything, please let me know! Appreciate any extra details you can add.

This is getting to be lazy story telling. Every member of the justice league has "betrayed " the justice league. And the absolute universe just looks like dcs version of the ultimate universe. A darker version of the classic world. They already did this with the new 52. Boring.
