Comics are really expensive for the amount of reading time you get, yes.

Apart from that, even though it's paradoxical because I'm a Batman fan, I have always felt that the fixation with always...

I really liked what having a kid Jon's age did to Superman, and I liked Super Sons. I would like Jon back, de-aged to that preteen age. I think it's good for the franchise (a Super Sons animated...

...Whereas any other relationship in superhero comic books has a depth that rivals The Brothers Karamazov?

Reading your argument, it seems to me that you see problems because you do not want or...

I assume that originally it made sense for DC's two biggest characters to be best friends, particularly considering the more child-oriented storytelling. Now? Well, it depends on your...

Works for me. As you know, Pastafarianism is a real, legitimate religion, as much as any other, and it's a shame that Pastafarians don't get representation in comics, unlike other minorities. Batman...

Nope. Unless there's actual medical need, which is unusual but can happen, I don't think it's right to cut a piece of a child's body.

By the way, I'm not circumcised and the part that would be cut...

Apart from (optionally) reading other things, you could search for some annotations for each issue you read. It increased my enjoyment a lot.

I also find it strange how people are so concerned about realism in the stories about a man who fights crime by swinging from roof to roof dressed like a bat.

Anyway, Batman is a character that...

For me, the answer to the thread question is "no". I can understand that some people prefer the solo, grim stories, but we can still have those and we do. The batfamily prevents the character from...

As the title says, what are your favorite Batman (or Batfamily) stories in the last decade published outside the ongoing books. Limited series, one-shots, OGNs...?

Like OP, I loved Morrison's Batman. It was a privilege to be able to enjoy it as it was published, rather than discovering it decades later like some of the old Batman stories I love. Snyder... well,...

I loved Morrison's run. My experience was enhanced by reading some online annotations which allowed me to appreciate things that had gone over my head.

If you are going to read Final Crisis it's...

Thanks, that was a great summary.

That's exactly the image I had of Silver Age Batman, but as Aahz has said, during the years traditionally considered Silver Age there are two periods. The campy period you mention (which actually...

I was looking at pictures of Batman and Detective Comics covers, and I was surprised because they didn't fit with some of my preconceived ideas about the Silver Age.

Conventionally, the Silver Age...

Wonder Girl (Cassandra Sandsmark)
Superboy (Kon-El)
The Red Hood (Jason Todd)
Steel (John Irons)
Aqualad (Kaldur'ahm)

He got into a flame war. The other person told him "**** you" and he said "go kill yourself". Social media gets the worst out of people. Manufactured internet outrage ensues. Much ado about nothing....

My answer is that they won't be back for the foreseeable future. I mean, I don't use the world never because who knows what comics will look like in 50 or 100 years, but I think this is a decision...

I agree. If not being sold on identity politics as substitute for a decent story counts as racism then I have to own up.

While I like the superhero genre, I think that the industry is stagnant...

The focus will be on whatever each writer (and editor, if there's a lot of editorial interference) wants the focus to be. Since they have just introduced that character, it makes sense to use him...

Seeing the young/brash superman was fun, but in the long run Superman is not that. There are other superheroes for that role. For other superheroes, Superman is the first among equals, because of his...

It's funny how the reactions to this are quite different depending on the forum. Here there's quite a lot of negativism. In Reddit they seem to love the idea:...

That's what forums for comic book fans are like. A lot of people are gonna bitch as soon as there's any deviation from their favorite status quo. But then, what do you do? You have to keep churning...

One question if I may: how are the participants of these tournaments chosen, among the huge number of DC characters?
