This week DC Comics published our first look at the new post-Flashpoint Justice League as part of a special DC Comics The New 52 supplement which was shipped free to comic stores and was given out at SDCC 2011. A version was posted online, but lacked the lettering which was included in the print version. The full lettered version can be found below.
A few observations
- The caption says “Five Years Ago” which marks a halving of the canonical 10-year sliding time line that’s been in place since Zero-Hour.
- Batman is circa Frank Miller’s Batman: Year One, e.g. he’s being hunted by SWAT teams in helicopters. He appears to still be an urban-legend again in this era.
- The highlighted knuckles on his gloves and the general look of the Batman redesign is very much like that seen in Batman: Arkham Asylum.
- The monster Batman is hunting down looks very much like one of Darkseid’s Parademons.
- Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern costume has the tunic length green-top he sported in Green Lantern: Rebirth and not the full body Gil Kane original from 1959.
- I like the way that Hal assembles the fire truck construct, he builds it out of its component parts as he throw’s it at the monster. You can still see the back of it being assembled as the front hits ugly.
