I actually don't know remember the author or the exact text is but imagine someone circa 2006 doing their best uh... Seanbaby/Maddox/something like that impression to write like 2000 words to the effect of "Wally West is the COOLEST MOTHERFUCKER IN THE UNIVERSE because he's a master of GOESFAST, bitch! The Speed Force is just GOESFAST, and it can do anything, bitch! Fuckin' Wally West made pants out of it! PANTS OUT OF GOESFAST MOTHERFUCKER! Goesfast can kick Batman's rear end! It can do anything! Probably some casual racism or homophobia! GOESFAST, DO YOU SPEAK IT? :cool:"

Fair warning, I found it crossposted on Reddit. It's somehow longer and worse than I remembered, and I called it on casual homophobia but somehow did not cuss enough and the author shockingly resisted a lengthy Speedy Gonzales/fast twitch muscle fiber section.

While history has proven me right in this specific sphere (I never liked Geoff Johns or Identity Crisis, I didn't want Barry Allen or Hal Jordan back, etc.) around this same time I was loudly proclaiming on here and elsewhere that Deadpool was never going to be anything more than a niche cult character and that all of these new guys getting shots at writing for Marvel (Hickman, Fraction, Remender, Aaron, Gillen) put out bad creator owned books and are going to flame out at Marvel too.

To be fair, you were half right about Deadpool. People who loved him back then would go on and on about how no he's a really deep character and the wackiness if just a cover for his deep self-pity etc. but then he just turned into the wacky character and became popular.

Either during when Suicide Squad started being advertised or just after her New 52 redesign. I don't recall which. (I think it's the former but my sense of time for this stuff is screwed up now)

So after reading most of Snyder’s NU52 run (which I actually loved) and all the classic Batman graphic novels (TDKR, year one, killing joke, long Halloween etc) I’m finally reading Morrison’s run of the character. I got vol 1 of the Morrison Omnibus and...holy poo poo I love it! I adore the way Morrison writes both Batman and Bruce. So far I’m just getting through the Batman and Son portion but it’s so well written and the artwork is stellar. I haven’t read King’s take on the character for the Rebirth run, but are there any other authors that make Batman as interesting as Morrison does?

Tom King is right up there with Morrison to me.

I’m excited to hear more about your read through of Morrison’s Batman. That’s a really good omnibus, and was worth double dipping after owning the monthly issues.

Dini's run was a ton of enjoyable issues and his Joker Christmas issue is one of the best Joker stories.

I don’t like King’s Batman run so much. It’s interesting how large some of the stories are, like the Poison Ivy arc, but fight scenes that are just pages of grunting turn me off. I’d rather, I dunno, read something. I quite like Heroes In Crisis, though, for some reason. It’s both a very cheesily of-the-moment event book and a decent superhero mystery, so far. I’d say I’m just angry about Batwedding but I felt this way several issues before it was revealed to be a nothing burger.

Given his handling of Booster Gold and his Batman run, I don't think he should be allowed to really touch A or B listers. He definitely has good story ideas, but I think they're better served with original characters or in something divorced from canon

Their stuff definitely leans hard into the gothic horror aspect of the character, but Moench was trying to figure out a balance between Bruce and Batman in the run and it was an interesting balancing act.
The story lines are mostly three or two parters and no real over arching storylines but it's got some good character moments.

Psycho Pirate, or at least someone using his mask. Is the killer. Wally was just the Murder Weapon, and it appears Harley killed him in self-defence?

What a twist! I haven't been paying attention at all to HiTC, sorry HiC, was Psycho Pirate or his mask used as a means of therapy at least brought up once and never brought up again in true Scooby Doo fashion?

Or did it go full pants on head Identity Crisis and just pull it from the nethers and go TA DAAAAAAAAA!?

It was originally from Batman when it he used to to try and help heal Gotham Girl's mental issues.

I'm not reading HiC but (and I am not sure this is really spoiler worthy but whatever) Psycho Pirates mask was used in King's Batman run at the beginning to cure Gotham Girl of her anxiety and depression following the death of her brother

I don't think that's the Psycho Pirate mask. On the cover of the first issue it shows multiple of those AI things with a similar looking anonymous golden mask and I suppose patients would wear those to remain anonymous. Unless Batman mass produced Psycho Pirate masks.

Wally has been using Sanctuary’s “Chamber” to create holograms of Linda, Iris, and Jai.

It’s implied he did… something… and tried too hard to get them back, and that’s why everyone at Sanctuary died.

He found Roy Harper’s body, cradled it, and sobbed about how he just didn’t want to be alone.

And then Harley bashed him in the head with her mallet, probably killing him.

Ah. Well then.

I think I'm very glad I did not give DC any money for this and am unbelievably disappointed in everything in these words. Like, there's no value in that scene. Is the point to be senseless? Oh well. Maybe Tom King just wants other people besides himself to be depressed and wants to add me to his number.

I wonder if making Wally responsible for the deaths of dozens of heroes is DC's way of levelling the playing field between him and Barry. To this day people bring up how Barry's return caused so much harm and agony and damage and he got off scotfree and now here's Wally, doing something terrible and horrible because he lost his family and now they can just call anyone they like hypocrites for it.

Man. I'm in such a bad mood now. I know it's just dumb comics and it'll be glossed over in a few years but it feels like such betrayal. Like they just outright hate me, personally, and the things I like and they make their decisions explicitly to ruin my day.
