Batman 81 preview

[Blue22]

Please. The whole thing was Bane's plan from the start.

[Desmark]

Maybe he has imbibed some of that Manhattan energy in the button.

[Ansa]

Please. The whole thing was Bane's plan from the start.

Of course. Bane knew, that Bruce knew, that Bane knew, that Bruce knew, that Bane knew...

[Bat-Meal]

Of course. Bane knew, that Bruce knew, that Bane knew, that Bruce knew, that Bane knew...

Of course. Bane knew, that Bruce knew, that Bane knew, that Bruce knew, that Bane knew...

Ah, more of that mystic Bane sense that he had which attuned him to Bruce in Knightfall

[Sir Arthur IV]

Thomas beat Cass, Damian and Kate? Plus the rest? After being badly beat up? Being a heavy smoker and a man of age? With not that much training?

I hope King's run goes the easy way and says it was all a dream as Bruce wakes up in his bed alone and carries on with business

[Arsenal]

Sometimes being excluded from the family get togethers isn’t such a bad thing after all

[Drako]

Read some reviews. spoilers:

The Batfamily were mostly there to 'show' how tough Thomas is.

Had a feeling that would be the case.

LOL Dick is Ric so he can't be dragged into this mess. Thank You, i guess?

At least King had the courtesy of letting Jason out of this, his fans would be pissed.

What's the point of Bullock being naked and singing in the last few pages? Is it a metaphor for something?

[Rakzo]

I think the most offensive thing to me is the insulting lack of content.

[Soldy]

This book is just one big pile of BS.

[Korath]

It's not the worst issue of this run.

It's still really bad, but it's not the worst. That's the maximum of time I want to even talk about this mess.

[Ansa]

I think the most offensive thing to me is the insulting lack of content.

That's a general problem with King's run. Imagine what other writers could have accomplished with 85 (or 97 if you count Batman and Catwoman) issues.

He has to be using the Venom or that super-venom that Gotham Girl has, I think him walking through a wall was supposed to point to that. I wouldn't make sense that he would be able to get beat up Orphan, Huntress, Robin, Batwoman, Batgirl, and Red Robin and then proceed to defeat them in straightforward combat by himself otherwise. I'm not sure how I feel about this whole "no I knew all along, no IT WAS I who knew all along" back and forth but I still feel the actually City of Gotham stuff overall is the best part of King's run.

I knew it.

Can't believe Cass jobbed. I mean, they all did, but still...
