Well Bruce is in his 70s and some of the behind the scenes stuff make it clear Robin existed and was a while ago.

I’ve always wanted to do a stealth bat fam introduction but it’s a lot to hang on...

He’s clearly playing Barbara’s boyfriend/love interest from the papped pictures which suggests Baird. But that sure is a red hoodie under a brown jacket they put on him, so maybe they are trying for...

The interesting thing about that though is that the Dickbats era lies pretty strongly on the canon scale of sliding scale of ‘canon’ vs ‘The comics history of Cassandra Cain’. In that most fans And...

I mean, given that DCs best selling non Watchman graphic novels are all aimed at the tween market and that books like Raina Telegmeir’s stuff or outselling Dc 3 to 1 the answer is blatantly yes.
...

Why? They have a built in market of people who are looking for gay superheroes. They are not a more or less valid audience then people who say ‘well, they should leave that sort of stuff to slice of...

I think you would have to be very naive to pretend that DC doesn’t have an eye to the Current huge demand for boy’s love YA content and that that the driving force behind that demand is millennial...

Some of this seems to be driven by Tynion himself though. The guy’s like 33, he doesn’t need to try to be hip with the kids. When he references manga and gets it kind of wrong it’s kind of hard to...

Have we ever actually seen Jason hash out his issues before with another living person? Usually he just does it in his head and then goes back to murdering people. I can’t think of a time when Bruce...

That’s like saying ‘It’s hypocritical for Woody to be Friends with Buzz Lightyear. He tried to kill Buzz Lightyear at the start of Toy Story.’

It’s fiction. If a character fails a test of...

That is the Johns brand. He pulps other peopleÂ’s stories and removes the pips to get stories out of them. Probably the reason he is so successful is that comics need that once in a while because...

It’s not a bad solution to the ‘why don’t you just kill the joker, everyone who is not Bruce?’

Because doing so muddies your soul while doing nothing to stop him.

My money is on A Return of the Joker style ‘The Joker is such a force for evil that he can exist beyond his original body, forcing his ideology and his madness onto someone so completely that it...

I think, in general, Snyder writes his books a single long continuity of his own and doesn’t worry too much about what other people are doing. But that everything Snyder writes is in continuity with...

For convenience sake, it remains Duke’s origin story.

Bold of you to assume any of these writers will be doing many more Joker stories. Saying Snyder and Morrison won’t take this into account is like saying in 2009 that Denny O’Neil and Chuck Dixon...

Does it involve a crowbar and sustained torture?

Frankly, His hideous death seems to have agreed with this Jason. Or at least calmed him the hell down.

It’s premature to assume any explanation is being offered.

Arguably thatÂ’s what Johns is doing here. HeÂ’s taking SnyderÂ’s ideas about the Joker being eternal and contagious and stripping away all the semi-immortal, Hellraiser-lite mythology thatÂ’s built...

Jim knows everyone’s identity, hence the whole ‘I’m blind without my glasses’ moment in year one and him calling Batman ‘Bru-‘ at the end of New 52.

The status quo is he pretends not to know,...

This is the right answer.

I think rather it’s that all three of them are the real joker. Much like say Tim Drake was the real joker in Return of the Joker. That the core of joker is madness and hatred and evil more than he...

Underwhelming seems appropriate. I mean, what are the options? One guy with three personalities? Or three guys with one persona?

That's an utterly absurd thing to say. Even if Vietti didn't change a comma of Winnick's script he and his story board team would have had to conceptualise all the action pretty much from scratch....

I would say that Lobdell saying that was profoundly more awful because he was trying to use it to equate his own real world behaviours with the crimes of a fictional teenage superhero who was...

He didn't like the concept of a son of Batman to be sure. He was the one who ruled Son of the Demon not canon when it came out. He was not big on Batman with a family in general, and he doesn't...
