I have to admit, it does sound like an intriguing concept. I have no expectations about theological orthodoxy though, lol! I just hope they don’t use it as a platform for bashing Catholicism and Christianity in general, but I’m not holding my breath.
 
I don’t have a good feeling about this and I really don’t think Jesus belongs in a comic book series where he rooms with a hero
named Sun-Man. It sounds like a mockery
of Christianity to me although I am sure there will be many who will find it humorous - those who do not uphold the Christian faith or religion in general.

This was my initial thought. I wonder what their rationale for this was - to increase comic sales? I am hoping so much that they do not make a mockery of Jesus. Hopefully, it will attract young readers to Christianity depending on how they present it? That’s my hope, at least.
 
I just read the summary, and nothing in this remotely resembles any Christian theology.

Did anyone else read the whole thing? Jesus needing to learn what it is to be a savior, God having not let Jesus return for years because he was disappointed at his first attempt, and so on

It’s not stated, but we’lll probably see “Jesus” “tactfully” approve same sex marriage and abortion.

Jesus returns to earth and—surprise—his views match up exactly with the author of the comic book rather than the consensus of 2000 years of Christian teaching.

I feel like this is a project where they are going to rely on the outrage of Christians to be their primary form of advertising. It’s probably best not to give them free publicity.
 
This deeply concerns me because DC simply can no longer be trusted.
 
Let them try to bring us down. They will throw themselves against us and our religion, but they will not prevail against God.
 
Now, a series on DC heroes dealing with Judgment Day would be quite interesting.
 
Probably going to be a an anti-Catholic pro Gnostic comic. Don’t forget the Church has been under attack since the beginning, Satan hates God’s Holy Church.
 
Of course they’d find a way to disrepect us and mock us. This is literally what every medium does to us.

Stay strong my friends!

I guess if I actually cared about anything DC comics did in about the last 4 decades, I’d be more concerned about this.

Their IPs have been used to make some good media outside of comics…

Well, correction, Batman has been used to make some good media outside of comics. There’s Nolan’s Batman trilogy. There’s the Arkham games. Batman has had at least two good TV shows, especially Batman: The Animated Series. Even Teen Titans, Justice League, Justice League: Unlimited, and more recently Young Justice have milked Batman either directly or through Robin.

I guess there’s also Static Shock, but that wasn’t originally with DC*, and even when DC acquired it they, you guessed it, made sure Batman got a few appearances.

* OK, I guess it was indirectly, but the TV show predated DC’s more full integration of Milestone Media’s heroes into the DC universe.

Batman has become a TV and film character to most modern eyes. There are still Batman comics, but many more people just watch the films and leave it at that. When I see Batman, I don’t associate him with a comic.
