I came across this book at the bookstore today and was intrigued by it as well as surprised that I completely missed it back when it was released last September.
Does anyone else own this book and if so what did you glean from it as well as do you know a torrent or download for it online?
This page is interesting as Bruce posits that Superman doesnt fly as fast as the speed of light but basically can teleport.
Nobody has seen it?
It was talked about heavily when it first released, but I keep forgetting to pick it up myself. Maybe I'll do it next week.
autistic fan wank
I had no idea such a thing existed. Looks like I'm going shopping tomorrow
Looks cool. Are Kryptonians biologically that different from us?
You know of a torrent for it?
I mean you tell me.
>It's just a theory
>There's no evidence to support it
Nigga wat. I thought Batman was a scientist
So this book is essentially Batman using his friends as guinea pigs again without their knowledge, huh?
I own it. It was interesting - clearly written at the beginning of Rebirth, but reaches back to at least the 90s for details and history. A bit too much of Batman narrating "Maybe this is how a superpower works, but we just don't have the science." Gorgeous book, though.
I mean I guess theres no way to know for sure for him without
a. Killing Clark and digging around in his body or
b. Getting Clark to stop saving the world long enough to get somebody like Star Labs or something to run numerous and extensive tests over possibly years.
I wanna see Aquamans insides
I'm intrigued about Batman's opinion on Plas and Wonder Woman.
>superman's eyes are behind his nose
That's fucked up
Thers a few pages about him.
At what point was Cyborg's machine parts retconned to being motherbox tech? Seems like something they added in only recent years as I never heard anything like that being mentioned before.
Batman should not have a plan for literally everything, it's so fucking stupid.
Complain it to Mark Waid.
Batman is the ultimate Mary Sue, so it makes sense
Since New-52 and explored after he got rid of Grid.
>Wonder Woman
>Zatanna
>Doctor Fate
>Etrigan
And to a lesser extent
>The Flash
>Green Lantern
Bruce should know better and put "hypothesis".
No, I mean a scientific theory has the weight of mathematical, analytical, empirical, or at least observed evidence. To say that it's just a theory, and that there's no evidence is scientific schlock. Gravity and relativity are theories. It's a nitpick, but too many people think that a theory is just an arbitrary guess
This book would be more interesting if it was done about Marvel characters. Imagine all the shit going on with mutants alone
Unless you mean someone like Salaak or Killowag, there's no point in bothering with GLs.
Not yet digitally released afaik, so you have to wait for a painful scan OP
More like Bruce playing Charles Darwin.
He's humming an hawing while he scribbles notes instead of poking and prodding.
Where is his dick?
I guess if you wear a white coat and have a 'lab' you can CALL yourself a scientist....
It's called 'art'
What's weird is he ised hypothesis correctly on the same page
The entire Superman chapter is Bruce offhandedly saying “fuck I have no idea”
It’s showing how big his eyes “should” be.
>Poorfag here
Scans pls
or a link
This is actually pretty cool
I also own this book, bought it from Amazon
It's a pretty fun read. Bruce trying to come up with a logical explanation of superpowers, only to come up with nothing.
The little notes are always funny
I need to get it someday. Manning is great, probably has a better grasp of DCs continuity than all of the current DCs editorial take together.
Rent free
Nu52 gave him a power boost so he could join the JL, basically as their transport since the biggest new ability he got was generating boom tubes, and all it cost was his characterization and history with the Titans.
Well said.
Got it on release. It's a fun book only problem is that it's huge and doesn't fit in my normal comic shelfs, so it's off in another bookcase with my coding books
kek same problem user. I ended up using it as a flat top to put my plastic models
I feel like this kind of thing would be great for the X-Men and Inhumans far, far more that semi-magic supergods like Wondy, Supes and other humanoids, it kinda takes away some of the magic surrounding them, unlike Marvel's heroes. Now, seeing how say, Cyborg operates due to his machinery would be interesting, seeing some non human GLs or something like the parademons would be cool or how any of the martians actually are.
