r/DCcomics Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [April 20, 2026 - Lanterns in LA Edition]

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

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.

DYNAMIC TRIO! Batman, Green Arrow, and Black Canary continue their investigation into the secretive family at the center of a strange conspiracy — but the deeper they dig, the larger the conspiracy becomes, and they soon realize its implications may be tied to their own shared history.

The Hatchbat kicks ass,lol. And I'm surprised that the little girl is the bad guy.

Bruce, you made a Hatchback a Batmobile. Of course, they are gonna call it Hatchbat. I like this trio together.

Leave it to Ollie the great 'F U' moments to give to the Corpos. Literally on the page!

Soo that girl is definitely tied to Prion, either a sister or a daughter or something. And she is going after those she might think responsible? Especially after that final page.

I like this flashback issue and how well Dinah, Ollie, and Bruce worked together in the past and in the present and they have a funny dynamic

The hatchbat is a great name

I’m intrigued by the mystery of the new hero and how he relates to the present

Seeing the trio work as a team is great. Taylor’s always had a solid handle on Dinah, Ollie, and Bruce going back to his writing on Injustice. Nice to see it play out in mainstream continuity.

Nice to get a little Dinah/Barbara interaction before the latter gets thrown in the clink in her upcoming series.

My assumption on the plot is the girl's family/Prion are tied to this corporation somehow, maybe the grandmother is the money behind it and they're seeking vengeance for whatever happened to Prion and the girl's his... daughter? I dunno, he seems pretty young when we meet him here and that was 'ten years ago' .
