So i left comics right about the part where Morrison left Batman, Snyder took over, DC rebooted itself and Damian became batman's sidekick which didnt work for me. I also started work at a new place and my hours were craaaaaazy! So i am trying to get back on the saddle and heard that Tom King's run is very good. Anything else you want to suggest to me? Here are some likes and dislikes to help you out:
Likes:
- Grant Morrison and his type of crazy style.
- Damian Wayne, but mostly with Dick Grayson and Steph. I hated him with Bruce. I heard he had a team up with Superman's son. Was that any good?
- Thomas Wayne Batman, who i heard is in King's run.
Dislikes:
- Gail Simone. Nuff said.
- I accept Snyder as a good writer but i feel that his writing is self important. He ties almost all his stories to important past stories to make them important. He almost had his owls kill the Waynes for example. He also goes overboard with the grimdark. Bruce keeps the bullets that killed his parents, the whole joker face off thing, etc. He's a good writer, but... eh... not for me.
- Fanpleasing stories. Ex: Ras Al Ghul says to Tim Drake that he is the cleverest and bestest and prettiest and superest of them all. Then Bruce comes back from the dead and hugs him. And then he beats Darkseid with his eyes closed. That was just an example of a comic (excluding the darkseid part) that made me vomit in my mouth. I just like good stories. I recently watched the DKReturns animated movie and fell in love with Carrie Kelly. I didnt need someone to come praise her for me to like her, nor did they need to put down Dick Grayson or Damian to lift her up. So yeah, regardless of the character, even if it is a character i already like, i'd rather not be pandered to.
- Typical boring stories that are just the villain of the week. Back in my day, people who didnt like Morrison found refuge in Detective Comics, writen by David Finch. Boring house style and boring stories that meant nothing.
TL;DR:
1. Tom King's run: Any good?
2. Any other suggestions?
3. Damian stories?
4. Where's Dick and Tim nowadays? Is Dick Nightwing again?
5. Where's Morrison nowadays?
6. Heard something about Gordon being batman. Was that as stupid as it sounds?
