Batman Thread

Let's talk about Batman, Batman-related characters, and all of their books currently being published:

Batman

Detective Comics

Absolute Batman

Batman and Robin

Batgirl

Nightwing

Catwoman

Harley Quinn

Poison Ivy

Birds of Prey (I'm counting it for Babs and Cass)

Batman/Superman: World's Finest

Two-Face

Batman and Robin: Year One

Batman: Dark Patterns

Batman: The Long Halloween - The Last Halloween

Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham

Do you like them? Do you hate them? Or are you just not reading any of them?
Alternatively, tell us how much you hate Batman and his merry band of orphans, let's get some discussion going.

So we all agree Alfred is getting revived in Hush 2, right?

Hasn’t been a single good batman ongoing (neither Tec nor Batman) since before the new 52. It’s insane to think about.

>Batman: Dark Patterns

Only good one on the list

I saw a random page from it that made me really want to read the book.

I hate Sherman’s art in AWW but his work on DP is spectacular. Decent enough story, definitely the type of writing the two main ongoings could use more often, but the art is the real draw.

Honestly would have made more sense to make the book the detective comics title following ram’s dogshit rather than a mini but works either way.

Jason

Tim

Steph

The good ones.

Also the only ones with no books.

Too many books! Let’s shrink it down:
Batman. Detective Comics. Nightwing & The Outsiders. Batgirl & The Birds of Prey. Catwoman & The Gotham City Sirens.

All of these suck

Nope.

Pitch some new books for them then.

This but Dick, Damian and Cass.

I'm liking the Waid and Watters books.
Batman and Robin: Year One
Batman/Superman: World's Finest
Batman: Dark Patterns
Nightwing
I'm reading the Loeb books because, well, it's Loeb.

Outsiders should be to Batman what the Titans are to Nightwing.
With that in mind, the Titans should be listed on this.

the Titans should be listed on this.

The Titans only has Dick as the Bat-representative, the focus isn't on him that much, just like how Bats is in the JL but it doesn't focus on him, those are team books.

blatant market research

No

The idea that DC does market research on Anon Babble is very funny because no one here buys comics.

Anon Babble buys trades

nobody buys comics in general, it has been noted that the dorks from IDW post here to talk about their own comics though, either that or very dedicated LARPers

For me, it’s Harper Row.

no one here buys comics.

Why would they? Most of the stories are just recycled plots with zero soul, and the art feels lazy. I’d rather buy manga instead.

Grim, but truthpilled

The only people who say shit like this are market researchers, shills, and retards. The Anon Babble media boards are demographic hotspots, it’s well known they do research and shill here

it’s well known they do research and shill here

They do?

Yeah bro it’s just fans spending hours a day once a month to save and post every solicit and the covers. It’s just fans spamming 1000 threads when a trailer comes out or a movies releases. It’s just fans shouting down anyone who hates the new thing as if their own child was bullied.

Are you genuinely retarded?

how'd you fags feel about pic rel? I love the art

I kinda hated it. For one thing I’ve always felt Silverstri was overrated as an artist, but he’s also just every bit as bad as Jim Lee at writing and plotting. The costume design for Batman would have looked better with trunks.

Just looking at it, it feels like an excuse to get Marc Silverstein to draw Batman and Joker.

wear a mask with the same hair

at least Kate tries

Kate Kane looked disgusting--nipples protruding--in her black before Gotham. Very very disrespectful.

Would have been better 20 years before it was made
