The Gotham War: Batman vs. Catwoman Crossover

[Arsenal]

I wonder what reading the tpb of Gotham War will be like.

If everything feels disconnected now I can’t imagine the constant wipe lash of reading it all back to back to back while trying to make sense of how everything fits together.

I guess maybe in a show like Gotham Knights where they didn't really have access to some of the bigger names, but it doesn't seem like they've gotten to that point. The only ones they've seem to try to keep in the public eye are Punchline and Ghost-Maker (and Clownhunter by proxy), but that push might be over?

I think there was a rumor of a Ghost-Maker show but that's probably not happening now.

Even if Gunn basically reinvented a lot of their personalities or backgrounds the members of the team he used were still heavily associated with the team.

Yeah the Guardians movies was still comprised primarily of characters who actually were members of the DnA run.

Gotham Knights was a random assortment of very under used Bat-teens lead by an OC.

At least it's almost over...though we've still got more Zdarsky Batman and Howard Catwoman.

...that is not really a comforting thought if i'm being honest.

I agree with you ! I hope Howard never writes Bruce/Batman ever again .
Howard stole his Balls !!!
Sad 😔

Stephanie Brown was probably the biggest name associated with the show outside Harvey Dent and they 80% reinvented her character.

But isn't there a Black Label series where you can still find them in one illustration?

I just had a horrible thought, did Bruce make out with Selina...or Lady Clayface?

Well, I think Lady Clayface would be preferable to original Clayface.

This is Norman Osborn coded.

Having read Red Hood, now I understand why is not included in the TPB, is more of a Joker tie-in than a GW one if barely.

That said, GW:RH #2 went the other way to issue #1, whereas issue 1 had little to do with the ongoing narrative, issue #2 is all about filling in the "blanks" about Jason but failing to add anything meaningful (other than the implication that Rose and Jason fucking, because that is clearly what we needed) to the story, and even then, what little it adds to the Joker book is completely superfluous. The final scene of the book also runs into the problem of cramming way too much stuff happening in just a couple of minutes, making the scene of Jason going to save that girl from the fire needlessly contrived. The only bright spot I can see is that Zdarsky kept Rosemberg from "fixing" Jason through the Joker.

How does the entire underbelly of Gotham know that Batman and redhood had a falling out and his mental state. Who is gossiping? On the robins and Nightwing were there, Scandal not talking to anyone?

This is Proably the biggest canon book to define Jason relationship with Rose. It’s only been in alternate universes or just in passing in smaller books

[Godlike13]

Didn't Jason train Selina's thieves for a bit.

[Mantis-Ray]

I'm reminded of this scene from the Under the Red Hood movie when Nightwing shows up and some crooks exposit that he's the first Robin who grew up into his own hero.

And I saw some people asking how those guys know that.

[Hulkout42]

Still disjointed as ****.
