So I may have missed it, but... why the penny thing?

Was it just there as a MacGuffin to lead Bullock to solving the case, or was the psychiatrist making some sort of statement with it? And...

I'm getting flashbacks to a few years back (the older CBR forum) where there was a similar case with anything Grant Morrison related - there were very avid and vocal supporters on both sides.

So reception is mixed, leaning towards it being worth a read for the story. I will possibly look into the trade down the line, but not with a high priority.

Thanks for the responses!

Burnt out on Hollywood superhero movie reboots and already happy with my worn copy of Year One and related books from that time period I decided to sit out Snyder's Zero Year.

Now that the story...

Yeah, this latest one dragged on for me. There were some brief good points (Selina and the sewer, Gordon's "everyone has to matter" speech, some of the Bruce/Alfred bit) but a lot of it seemed like...

On the calls for seeing Tommy Elliot, why no calls for the original "Bruce's playmate", Roman Sionis? I know it hasn't been explored much, but they could probably do something with the kid who was...

As long as it doesn't become an excuse to do lazy re-tread stories ("Witness Mr. Freeze's NEWEST Origin Issue! It's something really new this time, honest!") I don't mind the loose rebooting they've...

So here's a hypothetical followup to the "New52 had to happen so as not discourage new readers who couldn't handle all the history".

How long can the New 52 run its course until it "needs" to...

That arc that featured all the hopping around the timeline of the story was a complete mess for me to keep straight.

Bryan Q. Miller's Batgirl was fun, but it couldn't keep up in sales.

This looks fun and fresh, but I don't think it's going to have long legs.

It's definitely dark. The scene where Penguin breaks the bottle and sticks the kid and the guy plainly showing his eyes gouged out are all things I wouldn't call "family friendly fare".



Is it...

I'm usually first on-board with complaints about rebooting, going back to origins, etc.

In Gotham's case, I think they nailed it. The newly added things (Selina witnessing, the shooter actually...

My memory is hazy, but Bruce buys a gun at the behest of "Batman" (I believe he was a bit cuckoo and split into two personalities at the time?) as a supposed means to get over a phobia of guns.

Because that's essentially what they've created with Gotham except that they've altered the timeline in order to draw audiences with the...

I admit I'm out of touch on S.H.I.E.L.D. The impression I had was it started with great promise and steadily dropped viewers as it went on, which seems to be the case looking at the trend of...

I agree with many that there was an overabundance of cameo appearances. What typically made me wary of the show's "origins" concept was that there would be a temptation for the writers to try and tie...
