J. Jonah Jameson Confirms DC Hero Will Rise Like Spider-Man

Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Superman/Spider-Man #1

Although J. Jonah Jameson has long been a center of Spider-Man legends, we now officially know the DC hero that the editor-in-chief of The Daily Bugle would hate as Marvel’s first Webslinger.

As seen in the new DC & Marvel Superman/Spider-Man #1one of the weirdest crossover backup stories has an interesting debate between The Daily Bugle and The Daily Planet in “Bias” by Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott. In this Marvel / DC universe, Jameson makes it very clear which DC hero he would not trust in any situation.

J. Jonah Jameson Reveals He Will Not Support Batman

Hosted by Gotham City’s Jack Ryder, “Bias” sees The Daily Bugle’s J. Jonah Jameson goes head to head with The Daily Planet’s Lois Lane.

Naturally, the topic of debate is The Daily Bugle’s many years of bad reporting about Spider-Man despite his shown heroism, and it is here that J. Jonah Jameson puts his full story, confirming that he does not really have a problem with superheroes in general, but those who wear masks in particular.

For Jameson, the argument is simple: masks equal irresponsibility and distrust. He doesn’t care about the argument that it’s to protect loved ones, insisting that someone who hides his face will always have dubious motives. For example, Jameson refers to Batman as “watch out nutjob“He wouldn’t trust it for one second.

In Jameson’s eyes, Batman also has a problem because of his cow, confirming that if The Daily Bugle were based in Gotham City, Batman would be painted as a menace and threat to society, like Spider-Man.

That being said, the strange thing about the backup story is that Jameson lists Superman as the hero he actually supports, completely ignoring the fact that the Man of Steel’s “mask” is his glasses and public identity as Clark Kent.

While Jameson’s theory is nothing if not consistent, it is still, surprisingly, flawed. Still, it’s nice to get official confirmation that J. Jonah Jameson is against Batman. Considering the movies, this new villain is even funnier when we consider that J. Jonah Jameson’s character J. K Simmons also played Commissioner Gordon in the DCEU, one of Batman’s greatest allies.

J. Jonah Jameson Has Come a Long Way in a Wonderful World

As good as this new backup story is Superman/Spiderman crossover, it is important to note that the rivalry of J. Jonah Jameson / Spider-Man has really come a long way in recent years, at least in the larger area of ​​the Marvel Universe.

For decades, Jameson has spent most of his career with The Daily Bugle to attack Spider-Man, intending to paint him as one of the city’s greatest dangers. However, things have changed a lot. In recent years, Spider-Man and Jameson have actually reconciled, especially after the Webslinger reveals himself to be Peter Parker in front of his old boss. Since then, Jameson has changed his mind a lot.

Now the part of Threats and Constraints media network (TNM), Jameson has been using his new platform and podcast to show the world that Spider-Man is indeed a hero, while taking on real threats. For example, Jameson recently used his podcast to follow Doctor Doom during his recent takeover of the world, one of the few voices in the media who actually oppose and challenge Victor von Doom’s rule.

Regardless of whether this new interpretation is about Marvel’s J. Jonah Jameson who hates DC’s Batman, we still have to put it in the context of the old, very old Jameson that many know, rather than the new and recent Jameson, who is honestly trying to fix things with Spider-Man in the pages of today’s Marvel news.

Superman/Spider-Man #1 is available now from DC Comics. Marvel’s Spider-Man/Superman #1 is released on April 22.
