It's been ten years since Injustice??  That can't be real. That's not a real concept.

So I guess you can say it's chill.

The article says it takes place around the second game as that's the period where everyone he wants in the story is alive.

Ar the end of knightsend batman still believes Jean killed Abbatoir. Edit: it is funny Jean killed abbatoir in a similar way to how batman killed some villains in the past.

I think it had more to do with JPV thinking the hostage Abattoir had buried was already dead but wasn't. Or something like that. It had been a while. Anyway JPV clearly became extremely unhinged. It's been a while since I read Knightsend and I just remember the ending being "maybe there was too much pressure on you. My bad" The end. You going to read any more 90s Batman? You're getting close to the Moench/Jones run.

I'm more annoyed that he let Jean wonder off instead of having closer supervision or training. Like what lead to knightfall was batman making mistake after mistake and now this feels like another mistake.

Anyway JPV clearly became extremely unhinged. It's been a while since I read Knightsend and I just remember the ending being "maybe there was too much pressure on you. My bad" The end. Of course. I've read everything to this point. Why would I stop at mid 1994? I only have 29 years more of books. The more annoying part is all of the Batman family books now. Outsiders, nightwing. Birds of prey, Batgirl, robin, 3 to 4 Batman series. Not including minis. It is a lot. I've been debating going back and reading teen Titans for how intergal it is to nightwing. Same with young justice coming up. I might skip those and come back to do those next. Mr Hootington fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Feb 8, 2023 |

wow I just read 52 for the first time and that blew all my expectations out of the water. I’d read Gotham Central and O’Neil’s Question run right before so obviously loved that storyline. Everything with Ralph Dibny was fantastic too

There never being a Dibny Ghost Detective spinoff was such a wasted opportunity.

Iirc DoNg was like a game of telephone that started with a rough outline of where Morrison would start FC and it was up to DONG to set it up and ended up being complete fanwank poo poo.

Read whatever issues had a roided up Superboy Prime fighting in some arena combat poo poo, with wonderful lines like "I'LL KILL YOU TO DEATH"!!!! Who caused that? Captain Atom but like wearing some containment armor or something?

Sounds like that might be Countdown Arena? Some of the countdown stuff sounds incredibly shlocky so I'm kind of here for it. Superboy-Prime was also really fun in Sinestro Corps War

maybe read the good comics first and then if you feel like it go back later for the bad ones like anything countdown related.

Just make sure however you read Final Crisis the two issues of Superman Beyond 3D whatever is in there too, otherwise the ending will make absolutely no sense.

They should be in any recent trade, it was only the earliest versions that just had the main FC issues, right? My recommendation, though it's not vital as I read them after I read Final Crisis myself, but classic Kirby Fourth World is probably a good call.
