    I think Taylor said that it is called Dark Knights only for marketing purposes. i guess he said that for marketing purposes as well.

    He’s clearly trying to make this “DC meets Game of Thrones” but

    1. Part of why people love Game of Thrones is that it’s not just one person’s story. Multiple characters have their own plots and agency. So far that hasn’t been the case, Batman is the main protagonist and the one who is driving the plot forward, with the only other characters doing likewise being the doppelgängers who are framing the Els. It’s like if GoT was just about Jon Snow and the Others.
    2. People like GoT, and let’s face it Taylor as well, because of the “anyone can die” aspect. So far it’s only been the obvious red shirts who have died, with Black Lightning being the sole standout.

    Really feels like a waste of a good set up. At the very least we should see the Trinity all doing their own thing with the Martian Invasion(?) being the plot thread that connects the stories together. Instead Kal and Diana haven’t done anything major yet while Bruce is receiving the lion’s share of the focus.

    Taylor talks in platitudes about how much he loves Superman but his work almost always descends into Batwank. Every alternate universe. Every time.


    But holy **** that cover.

    Well it was nice to have an issue without Batman showing up at all . Constantine felt more in character here than he ever has elsewhere under Taylor given what he does to Tim. War finally begins at the end, although we still don’t have any answers about the doppelgängers, Lois at least believes Kal about there being more going on.
