DC Rebirth’s 9 Best Moments So Far

It's been over a year now since Rebirth was born (see what I did there?). In that time, we've seen DC do a full tilt and bring back the good times to their popular superheroes and series. You see, despite what the Internet will have you believe, the New 52 wasn't all that bad - it just didn't feel like a DC event (except for Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's marvelous Batman run).

Robin Throws Shade At Marvel

Recommended Videos

Ever since Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, Marvel Comics hasn’t been shy at poking fun at DC’s less-than-critically-acclaimed superhero film in its books. While it was funny maybe the first time round, it’s gotten a little bit too much in recent times. We get it: the Martha thing is funny to you, Marvel.

Naturally, we’ve waited for DC to retort and it came from the most unlikely of sources: Damian Wayne (Robin). In Teen Titans #9, Damian hands Jackson Hyde (Aqualad) a pair of hilts for him to concentrate water blades on. Jackson compares them to Dumbo’s magic feather, but Damian is left confused by the comparison. When Jackson explains it further, Damian replies sharply, “I don’t speak Disney.”

Indeed, it’s only a playful, subtle jab at Marvel, since Disney is its parent company. Even so, while it’s not an outright assault on DC’s competitor, it’s at least nice to see that they’re not taking the shameless digs lying down anymore.
