When is DC going to make a Doom Patrol movie that brings Grant Morrison's greatest creation, Danny the Street, into the public conscious?

He also created the death of Damian Wayne though, so ironically DC bringing him back negates DC keeping him around.

In the interview about Damian's death Grant acknowledges that he knew DC would shortly resurrect him and he just shrugged it off.

Morrison's Batman had some weird poo poo and some poo poo I just didn't like, but Dick Grayson as Batman while Batman takes on more of a big picture Nick Fury role was straight up genius.

I think during that run there's an issue where they're fighting the Joker, and BatDick answers a joke by Joker with one of his own. Joker gets this amazing,"The gently caress does this guy think he is....? :mad:" face because the new Batman isn't acting like the old one :allears:

If I recall, he showed a pile of Damian clones right at the end, so he was even giving them an immediate way back in.

And then they didn't do that and instead went for something way more contrived, so that has to count for something.

From Batman and Robin #16 - with the original Batman dead from Final Crisis, Dick Grayson has taken over as Batman. Dr. Hurt's long-thought out and carefully detailed plan has fallen apart at the last second and during his escape he runs into the Joker, who takes great delight in burying him alive. Joker then ponders what his life should be like without the original Batman around:



Bruce Wayne returns from the dead to answer that question:

Like, with less-lethal ammunition, or he just magically knows gunkata and knows the correct angles and can cause small wounds with real bullets

Knowing anything about Tom King's Batman this is probably going to turn out to be true. Dude brought back Captain Stingaree already.

I love this, what's the source? I mean I assume some Batman book based on the discussion, but which one?

VVV Thanks, I guess I figured it was one of the long-running ones where it's hard to figure out the right issue, but it looks like there's a trade of this run on Comixology so I'll check it out.

It won't be in the first trade, that'll be in the second one (not released yet but singles available).

That particular page is from Batman #6. Does the trade really only have five issues in it?

DC just relaunched the whole line in a fairly accessible way. You should be fine.
Also look out for the current Detective Comics, which is a team book and even better. The numbering there for single issues is in the 900s, but they're just doing that cause it's so close to #1000. The Detective Rebirth Vol.1 trade will be the start of the story.

Good DC Rebirth Titles: Superman, Green Arrow, Detective Comics, Trinity, Supergirl, and somehow by the grace of God also Teen Titans. I really like Action Comics and Superwoman too but others seem not so hot on them.

This may only be funny to me but im gonna post it anyways
So this weeks Ghostbusters is an annual thats split into 9 short stories and it opens with the story of what Winston was doing during the trial in gb2. Turns out...



He's relating the story to the books writer and colorist.

And after Winston ends his short and rather anticlimactic story...
