Every single one of you drooling retards needs to get it in your head that this right here is not okay.
To elaborate, many of you have defended Dark Days: Metal Dark Crisis Ultra Super Whatever as an event that's meant to be a "fun" schlocky romp. Yeah? Well that's bullshit. So far, the book has been treating itself completely seriously, the story built up to be important and game changing, asking us to question the fundamental workings of the setting.
And then suddenly the League is on Warworld, with no context, and they hijack the Toyman robots attacking them, and form the Justice League Megazord. And then they leave, never mention this again, and move on with the story. ... WELL OKAY THEN.
If this was a "fun schlocky romp", the whole fucking book would be about gloriously wacky shit like this, but instead, it's about yet more "EPIC" multiverse Crisis type nonsense, and about how nothing will ever be the same, again.
Pick a fucking tone and stick with it, dipshit. Fuck Snyder, and fuck you.
I do agree that there's a pacing issue. Snyder just can't do exposition without filling pages upon pages with boring word balloons, leaving little room for the fun stuff like that.
His complaint is moreso "why open with something like this, then spend the rest of the issue on exposition played seriously".
Logan Nelson
I absolutely dig giant robots. Too bad when they form the Megazord, the next page just cuts to them going back home. We never even get to see them use the fucking thing. That's bullshit!
If you're gonna do crazy shit, let us actually enjoy the crazy shit. Blueballing piece of hack garbage.
Nolan Baker
>"Nothing will ever be the same." >Largely confined to it's own series. >Has a self-contained one-shot crossover with just six series just two or three times in just three months. >Every other ongoing is ignoring the event and just going ahead with their standard stories. Maybe it's just you, bro.
Robert Gray
Its called a cold open. And its not like the rest of the book is 100% deadly serious with shit like Batman escaping on a dinosaur Emu.
Asher Flores
>And then suddenly the League is on Warworld, with no context, and they hijack the Toyman robots attacking them, and form the Justice League Megazord. And then they leave, never mention this again, and move on with the story. ... WTF?! I love DC now!
Jeremiah Bailey
>reading Snyder Batman After New 52 this is your own damn fault if you didn't realize that Snyder sucks when writing for the big two, and Metal being another Batman event should have told you of how low the quality will be. Fucking sheep
Ryan Howard
>robots made by the toyman acted like toys >op acted like a faggot
everything's checking out so far
Josiah Nguyen
Oh fuck off. The Nth Metal thing, the Dark Multiverse, the reintroduction of several characters who we already know will appear in later books... This is about as self contained as a reactor leak. Stop living in denial.
That is exactly my complaint, one of them anyway. If this was supposed to be just a fun romp, why couldn't it just be a bunch of Warworld shenanigans? It's the false advertising that really gets to me.
Luis Hill
>another Snyder hate thread You really don't have a right to complain when you support even worse writers
Owen Baker
Stealing from power rangers is what capeshit has come down to, and people still call writers who try as edgy.
Angel Rivera
All the advertising is about the Evil Batmen, Mongul only appeared in the preview of this issue.
John Wilson
>Stop living in denial. The irony.
Jayden Evans
it's not okay. IT IS AWESOME. This is what comics are all about: taking something so batshit insane and making it so cool that we just don't give a fuck.
Pure creativity, not even bound by logic or reality.
I guess you don't like it, though......would you prefer batman moping in an alley again?
Dylan Ortiz
Shut the fuck up drone. Go drink more period blood
Parker Turner
Honestly, I took this whole part as being nothing more than a Silver Age throwback, especially with that instance of Bat-Deduction out of nowhere and the whole idea of the arena.
Just a silly appetizer before we dive deeper into the story. Besides, I'm not convinced this won't just end with being Bruce's dream. It feels that way.
Aiden Young
>cold open It's a waste of an idea, a far more interesting one than some shit about Nth Metal being the source of all superpowers.
Seriously, did they at least bring the Megazord back to Earth with them? Of course not, because that wouldn't be a waste of time and ink.
>Mongul only appeared in the preview And again, therein lies the problem.
Also, nobody sane gives a flying rat's ass about the Evil Batmen. They're nothing but a bunch of boring looking minibosses that Snyder desperately wants you to think matter worth a shit.
I mean really, The Merciless is just Bat-Ares for fucks sake. You could not phone it in any harder if you tried. >The Drowned is just pirate Mera ... Never mind.
Jace Russell
What I don't understand is how was this silly Megazord opening linked to the whole Nth Metal plot ?
Brody Campbell
What's wrong OP? Upset that people aren't hating it enough in its own thread?
Samuel Brooks
>I guess you don't like it, though......would you prefer batman moping in an alley again? I wanted to actually see the Justice League Megazord in action. You don't introduce some gloriously insane Silver Age bullshit like that and not have it play out. Snyder is such a fucking hack.
Jack shit. The most relevance it has is that it fits the motif. It's filler.
Why is the Justice League Megazord FILLER?
Liam Foster
...
Daniel Morris
>Sup Forums is defending Snyder How deep is Sup Forumsmblr and Sup Forumsddit infestation?
Asher Perez
The whole concept is beautifully retarded Batwankery at its finest.
This whole Barbatos thing is getting a bit boring. We get it, Batman's superpower is being a legacy toon of a shit demon.
John Cox
lmao, tubltards and redditors are the ones that complain about Snyder all the time
Levi Fisher
>he wants to act hipsterish about reading funnybooks made for 12 years old toddlers and 30 years old neckbeards LMAOing @ your life choices faggot.
Nathan Young
>waaaah I hate Batman! stop writing things about him this makes me mad! Lmao
Caleb Lopez
The show PR uses as a source wasn't even the first to use a giant combining robot. GoLion debuted begore Goggle Robo.
Benjamin Rodriguez
I'm just glad that Cyborg is having a good time.
Brandon Cruz
that stick in your ass, would you die if I pulled it out?
Andrew Rodriguez
Yeah, cause he actually got to see the Megazord being used.
Shame none of the readers did.
Aaron Lee
Fucking this. Injustice and TTG Cyborg felt like a kick to the dick, so this was pretty nice.
Nathaniel Martinez
>Why is the Justice League Megazord FILLER?
RIGHT?!?!
The worst part for me is that I'm generally interested in the whole Nth Metal plot, and like the inclusion of Hawkman as a detective, with batman following his footsteps.
It's just these weird additions that put me off.
>Duke as the Signal (the fuck was that all about?) >Joker apparently having inside knowledge on the thousand year old conspiracy and then just dissapears (how, why?! never referenced again) >JL Megazord filler.
Christopher Campbell
Snyder's a fucking moron who doesn't understand how tone works.
Blake White
Neither do you.
Dominic Garcia
>Reading Snyder's Batman He hasn't written a good Batman story since Black Mirror
Leo Parker
t. biased dickfag
Isaiah Scott
Does Snyder just have an army of drones who defend his bad writing? Cause that's what this is. Bad writing.
You cannot expect the reader to take inherently silly shit seriously.
Bentley Martinez
All of Snyder's Batman stories have just been shitty retellings of the stuff Morrison did just before him except with an added dash of THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
Connor Price
Correct that to DC story, and we have an agreement.
Josiah Perry
His Swamp Thing was okay
Asher Gomez
Ah, that might be the case, haven't read that one. Then all agree with your first statement.
Aiden Thomas
> He spends his free time shitposting on an Indonesian image board
Adam Harris
Yeah but it pulled in an even better run and effectively neutered it.
Bentley Taylor
>he said in a thread about capeshit
Wyatt Jones
>and about how nothing will ever be the same, again. Only marvel does that bullshit. Calm down.
Jeremiah Ramirez
>t. Snyderfag
Carson Gray
You sound like a fucking pissant
Brayden Thomas
The point was to show the Justice League doing a Justice League thing before METAL shakes it all up. it was en media res
and anyway dude it was awesome
Andrew Campbell
cold open
Gabriel Moore
>nothing That's Snyder's bread and butter >CoO - And now Bruce has a brother and the CoO is behind Gotham, things will never be the same again >Zero Year - Rewrote Bruce's early years >DotF - Bruce told the Joker his identity things will never be the same >Endgame - Bruce and Joker are dead >Superheavy - Bruce forgot his memories things will never be the same again
Brayden Cook
It was necessary too since the issue is a setup with most of it being pure expository writing and Snyder doesn't want to go for cheap shock factor to keep people's attention.
Jordan King
>All the advertising is about the Evil Batmen, Mongul only appeared in the preview of this issue. So do these guys conform to the members of the Gentry or what...?
Josiah Green
You mean the story that undid an interesting premise with "LOL, it wuz all a dream!"?
Ryan Smith
What?
Andrew Flores
>Dame Merciless the femme fatale - Wonder Batwoman >Demogorgunn - Horde of evil Batmen >Hellmachine - The mountain that appeared in Gotham Can't figure out Lord Broken or Intellectron, Barbatos and his influence maybe
Jose Allen
Grant Morisson said that the Gentry were Batman's villains taking tot heir furthest extreme. These look more like his allies taken to villainous extremes.
...not that any of that matters because Snyder doesn't have that level of detail in his worldbuilding. He's all texture and no deep structure. That's why you can't revisit his stories... there's no framework there to set new stories in.
Aiden Lopez
It's not a Batman event.
Adrian Jackson
>Grant Morisson said that the Gentry were Batman's villains taking tot heir furthest extreme. The Gentry aren't based on Batman villains though, they're based on villain archetypes. >here the Gentry represent all these bad influences, but really each one of the Gentry is kind of a villain archetype taken to the limit. Intellectron is the mastermind taken to the limit. Dame Merciless is the femme fatale taken to the demonic limit. Demogorgunn is the zombie horde taken to the limit, and so on through the rest of them. Lord Broken is the madhouse, Arkham Asylum taken it to the limit. Each of them represents a fairly understandable villain type once you think about it.
Everytime someone says that I want to follow up with "I USED TO READ WORD UP MAGAZINE"
Justin Gray
I also like the take they represent Comic Companies. Intellectron being the Bat obsessed DC, Marvel as a broken 'house of ideas', Image being a zombie horde as both The Walking Dead and a variety of 'groundbreaking' books which just feel samey, etc.
