Ivy was a pretty minor character until B:TAS and B&R. Even in Suicide Squad she wasn’t really one of the central characters.

Riddler was treated as a joke through the late 80’s, but Dark Knight...

Tim could have come out as bisexual but remained in a relationship with Stephanie. Would have been a much more nuanced arc.

This was not my jam. Doubt I’ll get # 2. Couldn’t shake the feeling this was someone’s fanfic. There are some really basic scripting and pacing problems here. And I *love* Rossmo’s art, think he...

That’s quite a sentence.

I don’t think fun family drama is really what they’re going for, at least not on a regular basis. Maybe every now and again. Not that there’s anything wrong with that per se, but it’s not really...

Damian doesn’t really work as Bruce Wayne’s Robin. He was fantastic as Dick Grayson’s Robin. Bruce and Damian don’t complement one another, so writers fall into the plot of having them at odds over...

I had the same question. Alfred has a granddaughter?

Most modern (1990s to now) adaptations do, although I think calling Lois a co-lead of the Man of Steel movie might be a stretch. That’s splitting hairs, though - obviously Lois is a hugely important...

The specific issue with Superman is that the story engine that drove the series for decades (the love triangle between Lois, Clark & Superman) doesn’t work anymore. Lois comes off looking like...

His problem is that he speaks in absolutes. He’s correct that the creators have to maintain dramatic tension, and marriage can suck the dramatic tension out of a series rather quickly. He listed...

All he has to do is make the Riddler believe he MIGHT kill him. That’s the speech he gives him at the end - I made the mistake of assuming you’d continue to act the way you always have, and I paid...

There actually was a story that dealt with that, during Scott Beatty’s run on Gotham Knights. I meant more the unofficial aspect of it, though, as internet conspiracies and whatnot have grown in...

The Qanon people would be camped outside the manor 24/7 though, especially after Jason died.

You should check out the excellent Joker: Devil’s Advocate graphic novel, which revolves around this very question.

Gotham has been shown to be in a state that has capital punishment on several...

That hasn’t really been true at DC for 30+ years. DC’s history is littered with “ongoing” series that didn’t survive a year. 17 issues is 17 issues, whether you call it an ongoing, a mini, a maxi...

Deathstroke. Obviously there are a lot of Batman books, but we’re in a particular time now where several of the DC perennials are between volumes. There undoubtedly will be new GL and Teen Titans...

Yea I think the idea was that if the killer was unknown, Batman was symbolically avenging his parents’ death with each criminal he stopped, because any of them could be “the one”. I agree it was a...

That was a Denny O’Neil/ Doug Moench/ Chuck Dixon-era twist. Detective # 678 featured Batman learning that Chill might not have been the killer, and Batman # 0 confirmed “the killer was never found.”

I always thought Dixon wrote Oracle better than Simone did, but Simone wrote Black Canary better than Dixon did. At times Dixon’s BC was kind of a ditz, and at times Simone’s Oracle was aloof and...

Sawyer has actually spent more time as a Bat character than a Super character. The two editorial offices seem to pass her back and forth every so often.

Possible. They are definitely in an alt world and are aware of that fact. Whether Pariah or someone else is responsible has not been revealed.

I loved Dixon’s work at the time. For the most part I think it holds up well. The stuff that works the best is the grittier crime stories. The Jim Gordon miniseries he did with Klaus Janson is a...

I thought it might be Mr Mxylptlk?

Not sure. No doubt the internet has played a role in their rise to fame, but even pre-internet we had people like Hugh Hefner or Donald Trump who were essentially famous for being rich and famous. ...

Totally agreed with this. For much of his history Bruce was wealthy and a prominent Gotham citizen but did not have unlimited resources, and was not an international celebrity. That started to...
