Okay this is just ridiculous. Like DC must be having an internal Photoshop Phriday and it's just a company challenge to see who can make the silliest.

I'm glad Damyin is back. It's good for Bruce to have his real son back again.

Is this the thread for asking about Harley Quinn comics recommendations, or should I go to the general recommendations thread? If this is the right place, then Hello. I'm interested in exploring Harley more as a character, and I see the New 52 provided a visual re-design of her and assigned her to some sort of squad of other villains and then she broke off and now she has a solo series. Are either of those two good? If not, are there any older series about her that are worth reading?

Trier posted:Is this the thread for asking about Harley Quinn comics recommendations The Paul Dini / Bruce Timm "Mad Love" trade would be a great start. Then you can move on to the three Karl Kesel / Terry Dodson trades. I'm not a real fan of the new 52 Harley but her new solo series is better than her suicide squad run.

Trier posted:Is this the thread for asking about Harley Quinn comics recommendations, or should I go to the general recommendations thread? Batman: Mad Love is always a good place to start with Harley. Her current series is more humour based with very very little in way of characterization. If you want to see her be violently ditzy (which isn't as bad as it sounds) then the current stuff is for you, but if you want something deeper best look elsewhere.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll get on that.Madkal posted:Her current series is more humour based (...) If you want to see her be violently ditzy (which isn't as bad as it sounds) then the current stuff is for you That actually doesn't sound that bad. Maybe I should give it a try.

Trier posted:Is this the thread for asking about Harley Quinn comics recommendations, or should I go to the general recommendations thread? People already mentioned Mad Love, but I'll also bring up Gotham City Sirens which was written by her creator Paul Dini for the first 13 issues as well and stars Poison Ivy and Catwoman alongside her. The issues after that vary in quality in regards to Harley's characterization, but the first 13 issues are definite must-reads.

If you get into her new solo book, avoid the hell out of the villains month issue by Matt Kindt that came out just before the series started. It's not connected in any way. It straight up turns her into the DCU's worst psychopath mass child murderer and Conner/Palmiotti's light, funny series rightly doesn't acknowledge it at all.

My partner absolutely loves the New 52 Harley Quinn series, though I haven't read any of them yet. I've only recently gotten into Batman, reading most of the essentials over the last year (Year One, Long Halloween, Dark Victory, Death in the Family, Lonely Place of Dying, Killing Joke, etc) and I'm also catching up on the New 52 stuff. For now just the main Batman and Batgirl trades, though I'm open to any other recommendations. I'm wondering, was Gordon's family like this in the original continuity as well? I remember him having the wife and son, but I could swear that Barbara was his brother's kid who then died and that's why they were raising her. Also, was James Jr. a loving nutbag serial killer back then?

Pope Corky the IX posted:was James Jr. a loving nutbag serial killer back then? Read Scott Snyder's The Black Mirror for that. Peter Tomasi's current 'Batman and Robin' is a fantastic series, but I'd really recommend reading all of Grant Morrison's Batman work from the 'Batman and Son' trade to the last N52 Batman Incorporated one to completely get into that relationship. Plus Morrison's Batsaga is amazing anyway. Batwoman (start with the Batwoman: Elegy trade before the new series), Batman/Superman and the weekly Batman Eternal series, I like a lot. The current team on Detective Comics are amazing artists. I haven't followed up past the their first issue (#30) cause the script didn't get me, but it might be worth a look just for the visuals.

Thanks. The only Morrison Batman I've read so far has been 'Arkham Asylum: Serious House on a Serious Earth' Was Snyder writing Batman before New 52?

Morrisons Batman is very different from Snyders and not for everyone. I prefer the less mind-fucky Snyders run.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I just finished Volume 2 (Knightfall Descends) of the Batgirl trades. Is there any reason for the completely black page towards the end? I'm assuming a misprint, because there doesn't seem to be any narrative or story reason for it.

Some more good Bat books keep on coming. quote:Starting in October, Barbara Gordon gets a brand new look, and team of writers and artist with Batgirl #35. Cameron Stewart and Brenden Fletcher, no strangers to the DC Universe from their work on Batman Inc. and Wednesday ComicsÂť respectively, will write the book, which finds Batgirl's house burning down, forcing her to reevaluate her life in a big way. http://www.mtv.com/news/1864359/batgirl-exclusive-dc-comics/ Waterhaul fucked around with this message at 14:19 on Jul 10, 2014 |

"She’s leaving it all behind her. We really wanted to make this a book with a light tone, of fun and adventure and mystery, and let the rest of the Bat-family deal with the darkness" This is a New52 title? Does not compute. New outfit's great, though.

I don't mind this at all as long as they follow through and drop all the bullshit Simone crap. I might actually have a DC book to read after Wonder Woman implodes on itself.

Between Batgirl and some of the ideas being batted around for Catwoman, it almost seems like the New 52 is finding its feet.
