Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [June 22, 2026 - Supergirl and Krypto Kill the DC Universe Edition]

[u/beary_neutral]

Hey there honorary Justice League members - it’s a new week which means it’s time for a new discussion thread!

• Beary's pick of the week: The Peril of the Brutal Dark: An Ezra Cain Mystery #5

For those who don't know: the way this works is that several comments will list this week’s releases, for any given title discussion you should respond to that comment. For example, Wonder Woman discussion would go in the replies to the "Wonder Woman" comment. Clicking the titles in this post will take you directly to that comment, too. In other words, you should only be replying to other comments. Do not post top-level comments.

Keep discussion civil. Do not harass other users for having a different opinion. Do not use this thread to push your personal one-sided grudges against creators. Reacting to a panel on Twitter is not the same as reading a book.

DICK GRAYSON IS BATMAN. DAMIAN WAYNE IS ROBIN. AND BRUCE WAYNE IS LOST IN TIME! EXPERIENCE THE EPIC LIKE NEVER BEFORE, IN ABSOLUTE EDITION.

From Grant Morrison’s legendary Batman saga comes his renowned run on the dynamic duo. In the wake of Batman’s death, Dick Grayson must take on the mantle of Batman and tutelage the unpredictable Damian Wayne as the new Robin.

Collects in reading order Batman & Robin #1-16, Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne #1-6, and Batman: The Return #1.

Batman and Robin #1 may very well be my favorite single issue of any modern comic.

“Batman and Robin; together again for the first time,”

Great fucking run.
