catlord posted:I'd think getting shuffled out of continuity faster than Year One is more why they aren't discussed, rather than merely not being as great. If they were in continuity longer I'd think there'd be more discussion about them, as is they're just a weird side-note. I don't believe Year Three ever got a collection like the other two, I think that hurts it as well. Year Two was in continuity for decades and really could be in continuity now for all I know, it doesn't really affect anything other than Joe Chill dying in it. Obviously it's not discussed as much as one of the best Batman stories of all time because it's a mediocre piece of pablum that doesn't add anything to the mythos other than Batman was a pretty lovely Batman early on (hmmm sounds a lot like Batman Zero Year) and Joe Chill gets murdered by some guy never referenced before or since.

I don't think Johns has written anything half decent since some of the throwaway character re-imaginings in Flashpoint (not the story overall which is of course abysmal), the guy has wayyyy too much reverence for all the big toys to write them well in continuity, which is ironic since he'll be leaving the entire superfriends gang in the sane creative cul-de-sac he ditched Hal Jordan.
