Batman Incorporated by Ed Brisson and John Timms

[Rufio]

Do people like Brisson? I’m not really familiar with him.

I think his work is hit or miss. Like some of his stuff I have enjoyed and when he is writing “good”, it’s enjoyable… but when he’s writing “bad”… it’s bad. Like this guy will derail a whole story just to shove his fave in. He’s totally lost me with his X-Men work. I refuse to give him another chance with anything X-Men related. New Mutants totally played into this decision.

That said, I don’t think it would hurt to check him out here… but be cautious.

I will say John Timms feels like an odd fit for this book unless they want it cartoony because of Ghost-Maker, I guess?

Or for Clown Hunter?

The creation of both Clown Hunter and Ghost-Maker is heavily influenced by mangas (their outfit designs are def manga-influenced).
I'm assuming that's why the drawing style is cartoony.

[Vordan]

Based on the response Brisson seems to be another Rosenberg: usually competent but rarely better than that. Setting my expectations accordingly.

I think it'll be fine - didn't see too cartoony on the annual to me.

Yeah, the art was really the only thing the book had going for it so more work for a decent artist is a good thing even if I don't intend to buy the book.

I'm looking forward to it partly because of wingman. Can't help but wonder if bruce knows whose the current one is lol

This might be a 4th one, or the writers might not have realised that the first one died...

A fourth one?

I remember the original version and later Jason, but who else was "Wingman"?

(Or are you considering the "original" version as two separate people because of how different Grant Morrison's version was?)

My man Batman of China has been booted out the team. Truly sad times.

Still very much looking forward to this book!

Too much Ghost-Maker, but I'll still give the book a chance.

I'm gonna check this out bc of Ghost-Maker. I don't care about the rest, to be honest (maybe Clown Hunter).

I'm giving this a chance because I had a surprisingly good time with their annual from a few months back.

The only other thing of Brisson's I've read is his Iron Fist run, which I enjoyed.

I might also be one of the few people that really likes Timms' art style. I remember when he was on the SoKE book early on, and he got a lot of hate, which I didn't really get.

[Frontier]

I feel like this book will probably become "Ghost-Maker and Friends" but I hope it turns out okay.

I wonder if the dead character is someone from The Knight.
