It's the major plotline running in Batman Eternal. He was manipulated into causing a huge subway crash. The case hasn't been solved yet.

SalTheBard posted:I really enjoyed Batman #34. The ending panel was really freaky though. I also have a quick question for the thread. For the New 52 Batman I've read: Court of Owls, Night of Owls, City of Owls and Death of the Family trades. I read Year Zero on an issue by issue basis. Maybe it's because I didn't start reading individual issues until Year Zero but why is Jim Gordon in jail? You might want to check out Batman Eternal, the weekly series that started not too long ago.

The art on this weeks Batman really really really really reminded me of Sean Murphy and that isn't really a bad thing.

Technically King is the book's spy consultant, since he worked for the CIA for, I think, about a decade. But he's done other comic stuff & is at least cowriting here, so it'd be kinda lovely if he got left out of the solicits.

The effort is kind of meanigless when he's still keeping Dick's status secret. The issue itself was solid but Tomasi needs to stop trying to reference everything on his stories since doing that opens a lot of plot holes and contradictions. The highlight were Lex and Bruce interactions and Gleason's stellar art. Eternal was stupid and I cringed at the whole "spoiler alert" at the end. Batwoman started good but went off the rails at the end, nice art on the opening pages though. And Red Hood was loving AWESOME if with some sloppy art.

Batman and __________ has been the most consistent book for me since this whole 52 reboot started.

Simply ignoring that Dick is actually alive? I just pit it together with next month's bullshit Future's End issue where it's external stuff that brings the book down a bit.

Well is just that is very hypocrital on his part to claim "no more secrets" and yet, keeping the biggest secret of all on Dick being alive. You just know that it will come down the line to break the bat family AGAIN.

Just finished v1 of Batman 66 based on the glowing recommendations in this thread. Am I the only one really not blown away by it? The art was all fantastic, but the writing just wasn't particularly interesting or witty.

Unlike the folks who write massive arcs that are better in trade than they can ever hope to be in singles, this is definitely best consumed monthly. It needs that resting period, or it's overload.

Then it's wonderful.

Hello, I have a problem. I know stuff about Batman, but I haven't read any comics since the 90s. I also have this thing where I don't give a poo poo about other super heroes that aren't Batman. Is there a good comic I can read that is just about Batman with no other superheroes? Bonus points if it features Scarecrow or Solomon Grundy.

Does that exclude his Batman family of heroes? Outside of Justice League and Batman/Superman, he doesn't really interact with the super people. I cant think of any recent good appearances of those villains outside of Solomon in the opening arc of Earth 2. Scott Snyder's current 'Batman' is excellent and Bruce is usually solo in it. I'd try that first. Snyder's previous Detective Comics run 'The Black Mirror' http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Black-...k+mirror+snyder was great too. I loved Grant Morrison's big Batman story, which went from 2006-2013. It starts in this trade http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Son-Ne...+batman+and+son introducing his son as Robin. It eventually goes into the really fun 'Batman and Robin' where Dick Grayson takes over as Batman and 'Batman Incorporated' where Bruce sets up an International Batman franchise of heroes. I like the current weekly series 'Batman Eternal', but it focuses on everybody if you really want to avoid Batgirl, Batwoman, Red Hood, Red Robin and all that.

Hi! So I'm pretty sure this was covered in the thread before, but I didn't actually catch the consensus answer. I'm about to finish up Grant Morrison's Batman/etc run. (Well, maybe 10 issues to go.) What should I read next? I'm pretty sure I want to read Snyder, but should I read his Detective Comics stuff (people really like Black Mirror--does it stand alone?), or post-New-52? I'm excited by all the good response to Zero Year, and I'd like to read that, but don't know if I should read earlier Snyder Batman (Court of Owls etc?) first. Also, I really am not clear on how important tie-in issues are for events like "Death of the Family" and "Court of Owls" (also, not sure how good those are compared to "Zero Year" or Morrison Batman). I'm generally an author-driven comics reader, and I'd prefer not to read comics not by the primary architect of a story if possible, but I'm not clear on DC's "event" structure and whether I'll be hampering my enjoyment by doing so. (I tried to Google these answers, but didn't get any definitive-sounding info.) Thanks for any thoughts/suggestions!
