Hi friends. So, I dropped Batman shortly into Tynions run to focus on other books. So I’ve missed quite a bit. But wanting to get back to reading Batman.
Am I missing anything if I decide to skip over Tynion and Williamsons run and go right into Zdarsky? Missing anything cool or important for me to understand the current run?
Also, I’ve never read anything of Zdarksky’s before. He obviously has a great reputation, but some of these popular writers, I cannot comprehend their writing style (like Keron Gillen for example). Is this run at least easy to follow and is it good?
Sorry for all the questions

From the first few issues I read, Zdarsky basically set out his table and told you everything you'd need to go forward. It wasn't heavily reliant on the previous runs IIRC.
To me (again a few issues only), Zdarsky's run felt similar to Tynion's but even more OTT and excessive."Has Sariel summoned you here, Azrael? Have you come to witness the miracle of your brethren arriving on Earth?"
"I WILL MIX THE ASHES OF YOUR BONES WITH SALT AND USE THEM TO ENSURE THE EARTH THE TEMPLARS TILLED NEVER BEARS FRUIT AGAIN!"
"*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."
Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!

Don't need to read any of the prior runs for Zdarsky's run though you may want to read the 10 issue mini series he did Batman: The Knight as he's definitely built on top of that.
I would say Zdarsky's run has been pretty mid, definitely not as good as some of his other work like Daredevil - personally I think I enjoyed Tynion's run more but the common consensus here is that was pretty mid too.Last edited by Hypo; 04-12-2024 at 07:00 AM.

That's a really good shout, I'd forgotten about it.
