NY Times article has spoiled Batman #50

[king81992]

Bane probably thinks he's in charge and the real mastermind is someone else. Bane gains nothing from orchestrating this convoluted scheme...

[Katana500]

...on the plus side it at least means that Bruce and Zatanna could get together.



But yeah, this was stupid and uncreative and demonstrates that DC and Marvel writers can be as boring and predictable as they presumably think marriage is.

hahah Id be up for it! I like Zatanna and Batman. Magic + Science = awesome

Also I wonder why Gotham Girl and Flashpoint Batman are there! any theories! i wanna know why!

Here is the best part:

DC knew he would be spoiling the twist beforehand, he replied, “They did not know how I would approach it, but they knew I would reveal the twist.”

His reasoning makes sense, I think the blame should be placed on king & dc for not actually delivering on the wedding they promised.

This seems like a real stupid way of doing business. Could DC and King have something bigger planned? There is no way that they did not know that this wouldn't cause backlash...

Well, King said in a interview issue 51 will be "even crazier" than 50, whatever that means.

I'm placing blame squarely with DC and their PR department for this idiocy. This was, after all, the story King was planning all along. King wasn't the one that hyped fans up and made them believe it was real. That's on his bosses and the PR machine, I feel, not him.

Batman 50 is not the end. This is a 100 issue story documenting and celebrating the love of Batman and Catwoman. Whatever happens, whatever anyone says, nothing’s going to spoil that.

[Sacred Knight]

They'll probably get married for real at the end of everything. Everyone's already noted more than once the reasons why it doesn't make this whole debacle any better so I won't rehash that, but all the same I believe that will probably be endgame for the run.

Given this statement I'm willing to check in then and again to see how they make their way back to one another. I've never been a Batman fan but I love Selina. So I'll pick up the issues she's in and plan to really enjoy the Joelle Jones book monthly.

I think I agree with others in the replies of that tweet that it's messed up that DC marketed it the issue like this though, even if they do evetually get married, people still wasted money on hundreds of variants and tie ins for something that doesn't even happen.

Why would anyone be willing to wait until issue 100 get what was promised at 50? If you are then you deserve to get whatever bullshit he throws your way. He’s promising it now because he sees what the reaction has been. All this is is him trying to cover his ass.

[Sacred Knight]

I can't answer that because I'm not. But it is what I think will eventually happen.

Oh I couldn't agree more. I'm not at all changing my opinion on that. I'm just as disgusted with this as I was yesterday, if anything more so. It was amateur hour on a staggering level, defying all common sense. I'm just speculating what I think will probably happen. It'll happen without me along for the ride, but that's what I think will go down.

King has said all along that he had a 100 issue story to tell. I actually think this "twist" is part of it so I'm willing to ride it out. As I've done with the first 50, I'll pick up the issues where Selina is a featured character and skip the ones where she's not.

And when he disappoints you again?
