There's an actual line in it where Superman and Wonder Woman comment that Harley is "as good as you are, Batman" and we know Batman can beat anyone so

Ooof.

I went looking around for some panels of this Harley nonsense when I found something even dumber.


Hey Tom, thanks for your completely worthless contribution here to the "Is Clark or Superman the act?" debate. Stop trying to be so clever, I thought maybe you were on Nightwing but everything I read from you since then has made me think maybe not so much.

Yeah just because Tom King said it doesn't make it relevant to this thread.

I've heard positive to mixed reactions to Batman Eternal from people but I don't think I've really heard much of any positive reaction the Batman and Robin Eternal.

We're very closely approaching a certain block of text that still to this day should not be posted. That rule precedes me as mod.

At least that does settle things that I am responsible for it. When I claimed such previously I was called a fibbing fibber.


Edit: I wanted Barry back before we knew it would be so terrible!

Nah. Wanting Barry back is a bridge too far for me. Let's not even get into the part where you said you were happy Geoff Johns brought back Hal.

You disgust me!

Posting pages written by Lobdell probably should be a bannable offense. Exposing other people to that kind of writing can't be good for mental health.

That was back way before Secret Wars. He's appeared in a few things since thing. Most notably Ultimates2 from Al Ewing.

I heard Batman the Damned #2 ends on a big rape scene. It upset some people on the r/comicbooks discord. No idea if true, but I believe it.

So, trigger warning to those planning to read Batman the Damned #2. I'm mentioning this unironically, I'm not the type to ironically say "Trigger Warning."

I've seen the panels posted elsewhere. It's real gross.

To be fair the scene is Harley Quinn Dressed as Joker drugging and attempting to rape Batman, but then a drugged Batman rages out and strangles her to death while Harley does some Azztastic "NO MEANS YES" wordplay

Bill Finger is looking down with pride I'm sure.

Tom King was the guy that did the increasingly bonkers run on Earth 2 right? After Robinson departed.

So Green Arrow is cancelled. While Ben Percy was writing it I think it was consistently the best book from the Rebirth relaunch. Nothing since has been bad but it just got kind of boring when the Bensons were doing it. Lanzing and Kelly have been better so I'm sad to see it go. I imagine it's getting relaunched in a while. Probably as Green Arrow and Black Canary.

That is exactly the kind of book I’d expect someone like Mark Russell to do. Can’t wait till people start unironically posting it in the Funny Panels thread.

Batgirl and Harley. I'm not sure why Batgirl thinks that Batman only thinks of her as pathetic and broken but it's Tom King so I guess that's what he thinks everyone thinks of everyone.

I'm also not sure why again someone is trying to hold Harley Quinn up as a some potential bastion of goodness. That feels really weird.

I dunno why anyone's worrying about the Batgirl pages when in the same comic,
a)Booster and Blue Beetle fistbump and recite their personal code: "Bros before heroes."
b)Lois is introduced in the issue with a full page pin-up shot in her undies
c) King makes a dopy Watchmen joke or tribute where Superman telling Batman and Wonder Woman that Lois published an article on Sanctuary 35 seconds ago.

Those all sound bad.

I liked the Black Canary part of Heroes in Crisis.

What happened here? I'm almost afraid to ask. I'm holding out hope for a Green Arrow and Black Canary ongoing to replace the recently cancelled Green Arrow. I'm now fearful for her life.

I love how it's 2018 and all anyone can do with Batgirl is Killing Joke references.

On what world is Clay Mann just a "competent enough" artist?

A world where those pages above are a big part of what you’ve seen of him.

He was amazing on Ninjak, which remains my main exposure to him, but those pages above of Harley and Batgirl are not good.
