redbackground posted:True, I forgot the specifics. Didn't a hostage die too? I don't think so? I think some kids got to see the guy fall into a vat of molten metal or whatever it was, so that can't have been great. JP did a lot of loving up and scaring the poo poo out of people, and what he did to Tally man is pretty messed up. But as far as I know he never cut off anyone's legs or murdered anyone.

It was Abattoir, and the hostage (his cousin or some other family member) died. Bad guy can't tell you where they're keeping people in death traps if they're dead. What I don't remember is if he conciously let him die, or if he was to distracted by seeing ghosts. Just realized the Azbats and Batman Inc suits both have built in bat signals. I love that, even if Spider-Man did it first.

purple death ray posted:So we're a ways into Rebirth now and I think an updated OP is in order. Make a new thread if you wanna make a new OP. Nobody's going back to the front page. I think it's safe to list things like Gotham Girl and Harper Row returning to get folks a bit up to speed to picking up current issues.You might have to mention the result of Monster Men to segue into the new Batwoman series, ect. I'd just make the OP all about the bat-pets, tbh.

Jock is filling in for an artist who dropped out of All-Star BMan #9 due to injury. https://twitter.com/Jock4twenty/status/837679397066915840 That's just about the best Jock art I've ever seen, so I'm fine with it! Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Mar 3, 2017 |

pubic works project posted:Holy poo poo. I just read Batman. Absolutely loving amazing. The comparison pages with Bruce and Bane as children were fantastic. Batman is quickly becoming my favorite DC title. I didn't like it much to be honest. The idea is good, but the execution seems flawed. Because it made it seem like Bruce only cares about his mother completely disregarding his father just to make the symbolism work - which conjures bad memory of Batman V Superman and "Martha" for me. It also made him weirdly obsessed with his mother that borders on Norman Bates at the expense of all the other weird obsessions that the event created.

I know I've been whining about this a lot but Detective comics has really turned into "Chumping the Batman". I appreciate that Shiva is good, and the worlds undisputed champion at hitting stuff. But you know, at least Bats should be good enough to give her a workout, instead of just getting clowned on. Hell, I'd not be that bothered if it was a one time thing, but during this run Bats just gets his rear end kicked, over and over. Like come on.

Who cares about Batman in Det? I bet Tynion would remove him from the team if he could.

Yeah if Detective is going to be a team book, they need to remove Batman from the equation. He just overshadows everyone else. And the fit just isn't right.

The latest Batman was also a reversal of Knightfall. Batman lets out all his rogues to fight Bane, who is breaking into Arkham.

I just did a gently caress-ton of catch up on my DC poo poo and I'm digging the juggling of multiple balls JTIV is doing in 'Tec, with the Azrael, League of Shadows and Colony stuff, plus Spoiler. It's the right way to do these shorter arcs in double-shipping books, have a bunch of stories simmering and focus on them as and when you want. Batwoman was good and looks AMAZING, but it does feel a little like Bennet didn't want to focus as much of Kate's relationship with her dad as Tynion, and was Julia Pennyworth ever introduced anywhere? Is she directly related to Alfred?

Hi, I have what may be a dumb question. Or maybe not! I learned recently that a "batman" is like a personal servant dude in the military. I don't know much about Batman. Is there some clever play on words in the very name of the character? Something about how he has a manservant who could be considered "Batman's batman"? Am I onto anything here?

The last time someone asked that question in BSS, we ended up with concept art of a Vietnam war Elseworlds comic.

Dark Days, which was teased in Detective Comics #950, got an announcement with two one-shots from Snyder and Tynion (so far.) http://www.cbr.com/scott-snyder-jim-lee-dc-universe-event-dark-days/  quote:Writers and frequent collaborators Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV have joined forces with superstar artists Jim Lee, Andy Kubert and John Romita Jr. for two “Dark Days” one-shots: “Dark Days: The Forge,” scheduled for release on June 14, and “Dark Days: The Casting,” set for July 12. The stories are said to explore a mystery that “will reveal the dark underbelly of the DC Universe,” and lead to an as-yet unspecified DCU event. It doesn't seem like King's 'Batman' will be tying in between the issues. In June it's starting a Riddler/Joker flashback storyline.

also from the announcementquote:What I want this one to be is different. I want it built out of the stories happening now and creating new material and giving everybody a place to tell stories that fit what they’re doing on their books, and feels really modern and different and above all fun. I don’t want it to be grim. I don’t want it to be superheroes arguing over something. Superheroes won’t be fighting superheroes. I want it to be celebratory, and huge, and crazy. I am going for out of control dinosaurs and lasers. It should be fun.” shots fired

I'm personally looking forward to the War of Jokes and Riddles, sounds like it could be a great story. I love the Riddler from zero year and if they can manage to pit him against a tolerable Joker that could really be something.

Really excited to see Zatanna in Detective Comics, and back to her classic showgirl look. Think this is the first time we've seen her since Rebirth began if I'm not mistaken.
