How many people are planning to continue Tom King’s Batman after #50?

[SiegePerilous02]

Didn't pay attention to what quote that last part of what I said was playing off of?

No I saw that, they didn't say that's why they are buying the book or that it was important criteria. So your response seemed kind of odd, but I admit I may be reading it wrong, text on the internet being what it is (lack of tone, etc).

I personally like what King has done with Batman. I've loved Batman for years and I'll read even after he is gone... as long as its not Christopher Priest... that would ruin Batman for me.

The fact that Wolfsbane even thought that it was worth mentioning made it, in my eyes, fair game to comment on.

Me...

With solicitations always three months out, I’ll continue to get what interests me...

[Judge Dredd]

We're getting DickBats soon enough so I'll be there.

Wait he is doing Dickbats? When does this happen?

I would guess maybe during the honeymoon, but I don't really know for sure.

So what were the hits and misses with King? I think I missed a lot .

Depends on who you talk to, I haven’t seen a single hit from his run but others seem to like it. As for sales determining King’s success, it’s Batman, it’s gonna sell regardless of who’s writing it. He’s not exactly putting up record breaking numbers.

You do know how difficult it is to even get "record breaking numbers" at all in this day and age, right? Snyder's Batman sold like crazy but that was the exception for the book and not the rule. I doubt very much ANY other Batman writer's run is going to do the numbers Snyder's did.

My least favorite comic!
Already dropped it lol.

It was clearly made in jest, and Wolfsbane prefaced it by saying the writing was what they liked. The other comment was incidental.

It's a chicken or the egg scenario: do these writers sell because Batman is just that popular, or does the fact that Batman gets all the big name, high selling writers make him a big seller? Either way, money and numbers talk, and at the end of the day that's all DC cares about. The positive reviews don't hurt either. King's run isn't going to be cut short despite what some people may want.

I dropped it and am trade waiting, but I intend to get all the trades right up until the end.



The people who dislike/hate King's run are not in the majority, they are just very loud and like to make people think they are. This will last all the way to #100.

Well yeah that is par the usual course in this context. The ones who are okay with it have little to say beyond liking it and the critics will be critical.

Personally, I like his craft, even in this run but it's my least favorite work of his by a good margin and the only one with (to me) a clear miss.

Will he reach the 100th mark? Its fine with me, I vote with my wallet so I can just wish the best for him and fans of the book.

Both the honeymoon and after. The next arc is about Batman's brutality against Mr. Freeze in the past, and Bruce voluntarily goes to prison, so Dick's filling in. I think. It's in the newest solicitation.

[Armor of God]

Honestly I dont see anything interesting post marriage. Heck I dont see anything interesting right now aside from the promise of the marriage coming up which King has dragged out for eternity.

The book has been treading water since I am Bane. King has been writing filler after filler.

[Lightning Rider]

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but with all the talk around this upcoming event, is the "Rules of Engagement" lead up story an easy read to jump into, and is King's run worth reading?
