Where do we stand continuity wise on Date Night/Last Rites from the second Batman annual? Because I’d say it’s probably one of my all-time favorite Batman stories at this point, but it’s also a weird...
I think this is the first arc that I’ve genuinely disliked. Primarily because, as much as I’m a Batman fan, I’m also a Booster Gold fan, and this story just does a profound disservice to Booster’s...
That was from a brief interlude to Hush that appeared in Wizard magazine back in the day. It was a 6-page story in Wizard #0.
I’d probably have to give it to King. I know it’s a point of contention with a lot of people, but I love the way he humanizes Batman And has, quite frankly, allowed him to grow. I’d say The War of...
So, could Manhattan’s assumed identity be this Carver Colman? The room full of clocks would fit with Osterman’s identity as the son of a watchmaker, the fact that he is a seemingly new character...
As someone who only really bought it for Manapul, but felt I was too far into it to quit, this comes as something of a relief.
Nobody’s forcing you to read it, last time I checked. It’s not like this book is going to result in the cancellation of Super Sons or anything. Or is it just the idea that it exists that bothers you?
I’m kind of hoping this is like “In Treatment,” but with superheroes. Each issue is a session with a different hero, sometimes it’ll cycle back around and you’ll get to see how they’re doing, but the...
I’m kind of curious about how Tony would handle the psychological aspects of it all. I mean, it’s weird to me and maybe I just haven’t read enough Marvel, but, for being set in a “real” world and a...
I didn’t find it to be a retrogression at all. If anything, it felt like they were revealing deep seated insecurities about their relationship that showed how much reverence they each held for the...
With the idea of this being the return of “hope” to the DC Universe, I’d love to see Ma and Pa Kent get to meet their grandchild, but that’s probably asking a lot...
I just finished it and I’m very curious to see where it goes from here, and, particularly, what happens to bridge the gap between the worlds of the DCU and Watchmen.
In regards to the new...
But who’s to say The Joker would’ve even been created?
So, you can’t objectively analyze characteristics of characters that you’re a fan of? Comic books are all about “might makes right.” They always have been. You can’t beat an idea with your fists, so,...
See, I don’t see it that way, when it comes to presenting Batman as the product of a broken child’s trauma, because, honestly, that’s all Batman has ever been: a child’s power fantasy. There is...
I’d have to say that, overall, I’m definitely a fan of King’s Batman. While I feel like, overall, to this point, his arcs have stretched a bit on the long side (the “I Am Gotham/Suicide/Bane” trilogy...
I’d have to agree with Elmo in that I’d keep the Extended Cut largely as is. However, once more, the Knightmare scene would fall by the wayside. With all of Luthor’s other pieces in play from the...
I guess, more than anything, the question I’m left asking myself is: “is there such a thing as taking a character too seriously?” Like, I feel like, for Kite-Man to work, there has to be some sort of...
One of the things I’ve been loving about Rebirth, as many of you have, is how DC is bridging the gap from the New 52 to its more familiar counterpart. Suffice it to say, with Detective focusing...
For me, I always thought Zsasz should be a sort of dark reflection of Bruce Wayne. What if this violent personality of Bruce Wayne’s was always there, except, rather than having his dead parents act...
Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve never seen Batman as an atheist. Nolan Batman or some alt-reality Punisher MAX Batman where he’s the only dude out there and he’s still uberpissed about his parents...
So, one of the things I’ve loved since the beginning of Tom King’s Batman run was his take on Kite-Man. “Kite-Man, Hell Yeah” never ceased to get a smile out of me, and yet, I feel like, when I...
I like Johns; I do, but this is something that has always bothered me. Not just for what it does to Barry, but for what it says about humanity, as a whole; it’s telling that so many of these artists...
I’d have to say 2003, for me. It was a cool logo and, in addition to that, that run was my first real introduction to the Titans, so, it holds a special place in my heart.
In many ways, I hope this is Geoff Johns burying the Watchmen. Maybe it’s too Morrisonian, but I would love some fourth wall breaking. It’s one thing for a man to become God, but what if God were to...
