Fitting description as its believed to be a sequel to Dark Nights: Metal by the same creative team. That's the most I'd enjoyed a Scott Snyder Batman story for a while.

Eivion Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 40 minutes ago, The Natural said: I really hate Silk. Alpha was doubly disappointing as it was released in 2012, the 50th Anniversary of Spider-Man. Ends of the Earth and the Lizard story were also letdowns that year. I haven't read any of James Tynion IV Batman run either. Like to think I'd enjoy it more than Tom King's tenure. Like I said, I find King a very hit and miss writer: The Vision: Excellent. Grayson: Mostly good. Batman: The occasional high and low lows. Batman Annual #4 was terrific. I thank @Matt D for tagging me in a recommendation or I'd have passed up on it. Batman Annual #2 was great. Lows: Bat/Cat dialogue, ugh. Batman #50 and the wedding fake out. Repetitive dialogue a constant. City of Bane and what he did with Flashpoint Batman making me dislike a character I once liked. Heroes in Crisis: Absolute rubbish. Haven't read Mister Miracle. I don't have faith in King's Batman/Catwoman series especially bringing The Phantasm from the excellent Batman: Mask of the Phantasm into the mainstream DC Universe. That arrival's been a long time coming. I generally like what I've read of King's Batman. The only thing i found flat out terrible so far was the Booster Gold issues. Last thing I read was the Batman in his mind stuff which was a decent idea that went way too long. Never read Heroes in Crisis. I still suspect that was a Didio idea despite King's claims of otherwise. Regardless it was something that just never should have happened. Mister Miracle is solid-good. if you liked Vision you will likely like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel Tom King's best works are short story arcs like Vision which lasted 12 issues and single issue stories as seen in Batman Annual #4. You want to read that, @Eivion. I'd also recommend Batman Annual #2. Edited February 12, 2020 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck. Yes. Interesting that Batman is sporting The New Batman Adventures look, I wonder if Dini/Burnett/Templeton were tempted to for some Batman: The Animated Series designs to go with TNBA. B:TAS designs were so much better. Edited February 14, 2020 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Anyone here keep up with the magic/supernatural side of DC? I just finished the second volume of Tynion JLD run and in the annual there is something about Swamp thing not being Alec Holland. So was there a big change there, or did Tynion completely forget that the current one actually is Holland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Annual (2016) #3. Father's Day is written by Tom Taylor and drawn by Otto Schmidt. We get Alfred Pennyworth's inner thoughts from the phone call about the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne witnessed by young Bruce Wayne, the fatherly relationship between the two and all Alfred does for Bruce inside and outside the Batsuit. "Why do you put your own life aside? Why do you look after him, Alfred?" Alfred: "Because he needs me to, he's Batman and the world is relying on him". This all made for a wonderful story well written by Tom Taylor and well illustrated by Otto Schmidt. I'd like to see both do Batman again. Anyone here read this? @Eivion? @Matt D?

Kang Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 The new DC era Jim Lee is staying on as sole co publisher, and will be more in the trenches than ever. Also no line wide reboot is coming, so no new number 1's or throwing out most history again. Per Bleeding cool....some of the 5G plans are changed, like aging characters to their 60's might just be now in their 40's instead. And not having the silver age in the 60's but maybe further ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Anyway no aging up characters or shuffling them off the side. So plans changed again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
