I wasn't the biggest fan of Snyder's run but I didn't bounce back and forth between being bored and being annoyed like I have with the latter half of King's

I personally loved most of Snyder's run, but have had some very mixed feelings towards King's.

def synder. I feel like he understood the char more and brought more to the lore rather than just have every villain know Batman's ID and do shock value things that have no meaning in the end.

Snyder's Batman run is definitely a modern classic. King's definitely has some great moments, but has been far too inconsistent in my opinion for me to view it in the same light. Originally Posted by Darkcrusade25

With Snyder you can jump in at any arc and know what is going, but with King it is one giant story so it isn't new reader friendly.
Also Snyder's Batman is bombastic big hyper excess; King's is reserved, completive, and poetic. So if you want big action go with Snyder if you want a long form story King.
