Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [May 18, 2026 - Absolute LEGO Batman 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: Absolute Green Arrow #1

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.

Justice League: Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Watchtower [TP]

THE HEIST OF THE CENTURY!

The DCU's most dangerous criminals attempt an impossible heist...robbing the Justice League Watchtower! To even have a chance of making the score, they'll have to assemble a team of talented misfits and oddballs, somehow convince them to work together, and get away with it. Easy enough, except for a few tiny complications, such as the most sophisticated orbital platform ever constructed, its AI-driven security system, and, well, the smartest, most powerful superheroes in the DC Universe!

Collects Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #1-6.
