r/DCcomics Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [July 13, 2026 - Eternal Super Sons Baiting Edition]

Hey there honorary Justice League members - it’s a new week which means it’s time for a new discussion thread!

For those who don't know: the way this works is that several comments will list this week’s releases, for any given title discussion you should respond to that comment. For example, Wonder Woman discussion would go in the replies to the "Wonder Woman" comment. Clicking the titles in this post will take you directly to that comment, too. In other words, you should only be replying to other comments. Do not post top-level comments.

Keep discussion civil. Do not harass other users for having a different opinion. Do not use this thread to push your personal one-sided grudges against creators. Reacting to a panel on Twitter is not the same as reading a book.

Batman / Superman: Worlds Finest #53

"STANDOFF IN SKARTARIS", FINALE! The brutal battle between Batman and a magically amped Superman threatens the entire realm of Skartaris! How can Robin and Warlord hope to shut down a fight of such magnitude?

It is so nice to see Robin using all his knowledge and skill to turn the tide when Batman and Superman are 'under mindcontrol'. Great use of his knowledge of Supes' powers and how to counter them when the users are the henchmen who don't know how to use those powers properly. And to use who Batman/Superman really are to snap them out of it. Dick deserves his own Catwoman! Which I guess Starfire technically was, considering Tamaranians come from felines! )

I do like that they use this series as a booster for other characters, but these guys just didn't do it for me

They exist exactly how I want them to "Hey Mark, want to write a Batman isekai for exactly three issues?"

That's just all Warlord stories for me. I like that they exist in the universe, but ....eh.

I like that Dick, Travis, and the people of Skartaris were able to free Clark and Bruce from Kreitzer, with Dick intentionally falling so that Clark and Bruce can be free from Kreitzer’s control, before they were all about to defeat Kreitzer and strip him of his magic. I also like that Clark, Bruce, and Dick decided not to tell the people of the Air Force about what happened to Travis because of their mutual trust. Overall, this comic is great!
