Ray's Official DCU Megathread the 3rd: Countdown Edition - Now on Earth-OOMPH!

Ray, how'd the date go?

Awesome. We had a lot of fun, saw the whole museum, ate at Land Thai Kitchen, and I got a quick kiss before we said goodbye.

I think she's resigned to the fact that we're sort of dating now.

I love when that happens.... they're just like "well, let's make a go of this then".

Which museum?

Which museum?

Which Museum? Which Museum?

There's another museum besides the Museum of Natural History? If there is, I don't want to fucking know about it.

Indeed! And the giant blue whale! They've currently got a great exhibit on mythological beasts. There's a Kraken. I had to restrain myself from screaming "Summon the Kraken!". I was trying to keep the geekiness to a minimum.

What the hells going on with the characterization of Jason Todd?

This Countdown era (All 1 month of it) Jason Todd is nothing like the character i've been semi-familiar with the past 2 years.

I demand answers!

Seriously that's my favorite museum out of all the NYC museums I've been to. Shame I couldn't see it all because of the time I had.

I also liked the Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Atlanta, but that one was smaller..

Yeah he seems "good" now. Like, not angry and whatever.

I sincerely doubt they know. But frankly the characterization of Jason has seemed to waver based on who writes him.

Winick = Asshole Punisher-esque vigilante who likes to fuck with Batman's head. Won't kill innocents, but will use them as pawns.

Johns = Violent, slightly psychotic villain with insecurities a mile wide and a huge grudge against Tim Drake.

Jones = Cackling psycho who likes to play dress-up. Pretty incompetent to boot. Tends to get eaten by/turned into giant bugs.

Beechen = Frat boy jackass with a pechant for nut shots. Doesn't seem to see them coming himself.

Countdown Crew = Slightly emo hard-edged hero who's just trying to do the right thing, even if other heroes don't agree with it. Angsts about "being on borrowed time". His secret ID is apparently public knowledge, yet people haven't googled his name and found the Bruce Wayne connection yet.
