Neurosis posted:This needs full context. They were in Iran where Robin's mother was performing illegal abortions. Joker found out and threatened to tell the authorities, so Robin's mum told him where to find Robin. Joker then brutally beat him with a crowbar until a cliff hanger ending with whether Robin lived or died being voted on by callin. Overwhelmingly the vote was to kill him, although a lot of the calls were traceable to one guy's auto dial in machine. I think Robin's mum might've watched it happen and just ignored it. Later, Joker became the ambassador to the UN for Ayatollah Khomeini, meaning he could publicly go on US soil without being arrested. Lol I read this and then was getting ready to make a "I actually had to Google this to see that it was fake" post. It's not fake. basic hitler posted:every time I think "i'm going to get into comics", something happens. Either I read a ridiculous loving panel from the silver age or some cheesy grimdark poo poo that should only appeal to a certain kind of angsty 13 year old and I just think, naaah. Superhero comics are garbage and if you think that they're stupid you should read Watchmen, which of course is now being incorporated into DC's retarded universe without any loving hint of irony.

Tacky-rear end Rococco posted:This one time, Wally West ran really fast and punched a guy, and it was cool, so no, superhero comics are not garbage. You must be thinking of your face. Was this before or after Flash's past three incarnations and his half alien sister arrived from earths 5, 29 and 57 to help him escape from the third level of hell, where he had been trapped in the future by a psychic vampire masquerading as Lee Harvey Oswald?

Sunswipe posted:Jesus Christ, I'm not reading that. Can they not make comics for people who just want to see Batman punch the Joker? Maybe they should just stop making comics set in a multimedia universe that has been around since the 1930s.

Vakal posted:Don't worry, they were eventually reunited again in the classic heart-warming series, Blackest Night. I like my superhero comics with abortions, rape, cannibalism and torture. That's how you know that it's adult fiction.

Man, Marvel really missed an opportunity to have a scene where the Winter Soldier rapes Tony Stark's mom while eating her alive instead of just shooting her. Really goes to show that the Marvel movies are kiddy garbage.

Maybe they could make a comic book villain that doesn't want to blow up the world, destroy the universe, kill all of humanity, or throw puppies into blenders. I think that I read a comic like that once and it was pretty good.

Fruits of the sea posted:Frank Miller tried something sort of like this after 911 and even DC were smart enough to turn it down. So he changed the names. Holy Terror. Not-Batman murders a lot of Al Qaeda lol that a 50 year old successful and respected comic book writer created his own version of fluttershyholocaust.jpg

Rutibex posted:wow edgy. DC sure loves rape It's also cool that they seem to repeatedly use rape as a fate worse than death. There's no better message to send readers that lives are less valuable than sexual purity or whatever.

Comics allow for some pretty neat visual storytelling that isn't really doable with regular print. It's not the best example, but the manga Blame has a lot of pages without much, if any, dialogue. A lot of the panels just show characters moving through the environment, and I can't imagine how you would do that in a novel.

a bone to pick posted:I just didn't expect that comic to be straight up gay porn; I thought it was an official DC comic where Batman and Superman are lovers but nope, just straight up buttfucking. You should have known from the moment you saw their anime eyes.
