I'm sure I'm not the first to try this, but recently if you read only the first page of a Tom King Batman issue, and the last page, you'll understand everything that happened in that issue.
its a real time saver!

You can also make a drinking game out of it. Take a shot for every poem, dream, "Bat", "Cat", "I will break your back", "..." and shock value moment that won't have any consequences.

When I saw the thread at a glance I saw it as the Tom King Drinking Game. For some odd reason that made a certain amount of sense

Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

Tom King's tendency for repetitious dialogue is almost as bad as Frank Miller's.

There is an huge difference among write a good story and try to write a great one.

Batman's world isn't realistic. It's grounded in psychological realism… In real life, Batman's crusade would be a horrible idea.[…] But in the world Batman inhabits, it not only makes sense, it's absolutely the right thing to do.

What, is Bane actually Bane?

It's funny; I am Bane is my favorite story in King's run, but even I find it difficult to defend its repetitious dialogue. Originally Posted by Gotham citizen

Also King understood it was absurd what he was writing, in fact in an issue of that story both Batman and Catwoman started to say: «Yes, you are Bane, we know: you already say that.»
In my opinion King is a good writer, but sometime "he lose the right way" and he start to write like he were a fanfiction writer; his Cat/Bat romance is a good example of that.Last edited by Gotham citizen; 12-02-2019 at 02:20 AM.
