DC Weekly Review: Mar 22nd, 2024 (Week 12)

Help Support The Heroes We Love: This month, we’re highlighting the Sons Of The Bat. And this week, we’re highlighting the most successful son, Dick Grayson. Dick is starring in Nightwing, Titans, and World’s Finest, while appearing regularly across the rest of the DC Universe. You can read the On-Going beats of Tom Taylor’s runs on Nightwing and Titans at DC Universe Infinite, when you subscribe to the Ultra Annual Level (which runs the price of $170 CAD).

Weekly Omissions – Batman ’89: Echoes #2, John Constantine: Hellblazer – Dead In America #3, Justice League Vs. Godzilla Vs. Kong #6

Hero Of The Week – Dick and Clark went toe-to-toe this Week. While Dick had 4 Appearances to Superman’s 3, Clark brought in 23 Points to Dick’s 22. Superman took home Hero Of The Week, while Monkey King made his 2024 debut to score Performance Of The Week, bringing in 15 Points over a single Appearance.

Antagonist Of The Week – If Superman was Hero Of The Week, then it only stands that Lex Luthor should be Antagonist Of The Week. Lex won the title with 21 Points brought in over 2 Appearances.

Book Of The Week – Listen, usually DC’s One-Shot Specials tend to be Book Of The Week. But DC made the mistake of dropping it’s APE-ril Special #1 in MARCH, so it lost to Titans #9, which would take Book Of The Week with 64 Points over 18 Characters.
