30 Day Poll: Which is better currently Batman or Detective Comics?

[tib2d2]

30 day poll, so we can get a feeling from the audience for the current state of Batman comics.

Which is a better series currently, Batman or Detective?

Subjective, Yes

Temporary, Of Course

But let's try anyway!

Kind of an odd time to ask given that we are one issue into the current creative team on 'Tec who will be off in a couple issues anyway.

This is pretty much just King vs. anti-King.

I've liked King's run, so I went with Batman.

No option for "I haven't read either title currently"?

I don't normally buy/read King's Batman. I dropped Detective Comics after Tynion's first arc, but was tempted to try the recent issue by Robinson. Unfortunately, since there were no copies on the shelf when I went to the store this past weekend, I couldn't look it over before deciding if I should buy it or not.

I was digging Batman until the fake wedding. Now I have sort of lost interest. Haven't read Detective in a while. So sort of neither anymore.

I voted Batman. With it's sometimes average stories and terrible dialogue, At least I was able to keep up with all issues since rebirth.. I gave up on Detective comic early on and just picked it up recently.

Didn't care for the lead up to the wedding, the wedding issue itself, or even the idea of Batman marrying Catwoman to begin with (sue me, sorry). Didn't care for the Mr. Freeze trial story either. I'm hoping its back on track as the flagship well written de facto Batman series like it was with Snyder, IMO.

Detective has been really fun lately, with the larger cast of characters, I have really liked it.

I'm going to go with Detective comics. That ridiculous wedding hype was pure crap.

I voted for Batman easily. King has had an interesting and quality run. I may not agree with all of his decisions, but he's building an epic.

or even the idea of Batman marrying Catwoman to begin with (sue me, sorry).

I agree, very much. But once everyone realizes King (and DC) never intended to marry off Batman, I hope they go back and examine the lead up and it all. It's not a bad story IMHO. King used the spectacle to tell an intimate story about how good and virtuous Catwoman is with regards to Bruce's mission (and Bruce's struggle with trying to go on such a different path in life).

I voted Detective. King has had some OK stuff, but he tends to not have enough meat in his stories, stretches things out for too many pages. Art wise, it was nice having Finch on Batman for a while, and Daniels fill in issues were great, but I'm not a huge Janin or Mann fan. Detective, outside of Barrows, has had a lot of people I have never heard of, but they have a consistent level of good art on the book.

Detective Comics. So over King's Batman run. I could deal with King's "staccato" style dialogue because I thought he actually meant what he said when he would take Bruce in a new direction. Instead, it was the same old same old. Detective Comics at least has smoother dialogue and a more interesting direction.

[TheJudge95]

I voted for Batman. I am 50-50 on King's run, but Detective Comics, even when Tynion was writing it, never reached the heights of King's Batman (I didn't read the first arc, which is supposedly the best, though). Most of those highs happened in the past 25 issues, so in the past year. What have we gotten since Tynion left? A one-off Deacon Blackfire story, a generic telepath villain who wants to destroy the Batfamily? King doesn't deliver on the superhero fantasy I want, but at least he's interesting.

Detective Comics, the last issue I read in Batman was where he and Catwoman when to visit Talia for....

I'm blanking.
