COnsidering that every woman in Gotham is bisexual or lesbian, Selina and Talia are gonna make out right?

Before "Rebirth" Selina really was in a relationship with a woman, wasn't she?

What happened to the poor girl?

Can't we just have a fun wedding issue? You know, where the Batfamily and the League set up a nice reception/party that Bruce begrudgingly goes along with, only to end with Selina surprising him with a private dinner?

Why the hell you pick BATMAN to have slice of life adventures, where everybody is OOC?

They weren't in a "relationship" they just made out.

How do you swordfight with a whip.

The swordfight obviously hasn't been spoiled yet you idiot.

Hasnt King's whole run been out of character?

DC's #1 book should have better art than this

That scene in castlevania where Trevor wraps the whip around his shortsword was kino as fuck.

Not at all.

Talia stabs her through the stomach and ruins her womb so she can't have a child with Batman

absolutely

His Riddler would beg to differ

This is pretty good though, especially compared to Janin and Finch.

?

What do you mean "?"?

Almost everybody writes Riddler like shit though

Alright, how about Batman almost killing Edward over this nonsense? Do you really think that THIS was what should have sent Bruce over the edge?

you guys literally ask this question after every arc. After I am gotham you guys thought we would finally see king play to his strengths. with I am bane you guys thought he would get the hang of the book...nope again. here we go again

Tom King's Batman is a whole lotta not good. This arc will just kill the wedding, Talia probs gon rape Bruce again.

Why is Talia such a jealous bitch? She always goes against any woman that Bruce gets serious with.

Does she have any redeeming qualities?

She’s hot

No.

Yeah...she's hot and a hot chick that's kinda obsessed with you is not a problem.

Though she did fuck Jason...right? Ugh that ruined the hotness.

Talia is a ninja or some shit so that's cool.

Based means addicted to crack cocaine

It better be a shirtless swordfight. I mean, it's only proper.

Given that it's Selina, the most appropriate - and in character way - for her to Sword/Whip fight Selina is to Indiana Jones it

I hate that this is what will probably happen

Omg whynthe fuck would Bruce being doing this shit?
I honestly dont understand. Selina isnt the epitome of goodness so why they shit with the war of jokes and riddles.
I was almost a killer selina, well bruce i was willing to let the world think i was akiller, but this is so much darker but i accept it.

My baby mama is an assassin. Cool i wanna fight her to prove im worthy.
You guys swear by omega men and vision. At this point i would take synder over king any fucking day.
This run is so fucking boring and jyst a complete OOC mess.

but he was supposed to really do it

you must be 18+ to post on Sup Forums

why is batman dressed up like in the knightmare sequence of BvS?

I feel like DC acquired King and just gave him a big book because he's talented, without knowing that it would be a good fit for him.

King is great on smaller characters. This Batman is not good. Vision and Mister Miracle are amazing though. He's humanizing non-human characters.

exactly like Selina

is this supposed to be english?

He has the exact same level of talent that he demonstrates on Batman that he does in everything he writes. You don't shit the bed this hard for this long as a fluke.

The first arc wasn't bad.

It looks cool. Same reason you get Electric Superman reference every once and a while.

Nah. Omega Men is good. Vision is good. Mister Miracle is good but his Batman is not. This book isn't the right fit for his style. Not everybody can write every character. All good writers have shit runs somewhere and often its on big books where more is expected.

And yet we have seventy five more issues of pure shit to wade through. You'd think a critically acclaimed author would have some self awareness.

>TWOJAR
This made me think of Two-Face and jars. Like, something involving Two-Face and jars (filled with whatever).
I'm sure we could take these two things and create a better story arc than The War of Jokes and Riddles.

>Does she have any redeeming qualities?
no

What's Harvey up to these days, anyway?

Last time he had any real focus in a mainstream DCU arc was during Snyder's All-Star Batman #1 where he went on a roadtrip with Bruce. And two and a half years before that (strangely appropriate), there was The Big Burn, which had quite a few interesting moments that should be significant (like him revealing he knew about Bruce being Batman all along) and ended with him committing suicide, all of which was apparently completely ignored as he showed up just fine for cameos in stories like Forever Evil or Death Of The Family with no changes whatsoever.

Apart from that, he's been pretty much sitting in the same status as rogues like The Penguin. He is there when the story calls for a Batman villain or several to make a cameo, crack puns, get beaten up by Batman (or whatever hero they are trying to shill particularly hard that week), play second fiddle to The Joker (or whatever villain they are trying to shill particularly hard that week), or both.

>Riddler started a war that lasted for weeks
>Dozens were killed during it
>Batman saw firsthand a child and his father being victims of him
>He ended up siding with him thinking it to be the best choice
>Riddler confesses all the shit Bruce and Gotham have faced for weeks was literally 'for da lulz'
>For this instance Riddler acted more dangerously and insane than the Joker
Maybe the exectution was bad, maybe the set up was bad but you've gotta admit it sort of looks like a reason for Bats to lose his shit.

All we can hope is that he can turn it around.

They better have hair on their chest too.

>Joelle Jones
>not good
Don't be a fag

Hey why don't they leave Talia alone?
That's mean.

This. It's the insanity and absurdity of it all that pushed him to the edge.

Talia is forever ruined as a character as soon as they wrote hero drugging Bruce for that supercum and Batman inc did not help her.

Because that was long after DotF (eight issues). And happened after Forever Evil.

Doubtful, because the plot will demand that Catwoman wins and that's just bullshit.

Joker truly did nothing wrong HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

I hate Talia but I find her infinitely more interesting than Selina.

whats the number of this issue? can't find it.

He was Riddler's hechman.

She used to.
But being written as nothing but a villain for decades kinda ruined it.

Bump

>It looks silly

Ftfy

>75 more issues
>We haven't even slogged through half that yet

Holy shit guys... I just want Batman to be good again. It's been like seven fucking years...

Spoiler alert: he's not going to because he's not a good writer.

>he's not a good writer.
Yes he is.

>Omega Men was good

Just the ending, the rest was a shallow mess. How pages did he waste with song?

I'm just hoping Bruce retires after this adventure and we either get Dickbat or AzBat

I'll even take timbat if hes anything like Titans of Tommorow

>the rest was a shallow mess
No it wasn't.

Final textless cover for the next issue of Batman

>it was shallow and pedantic.

>Fucked up the Bane arc
>Fucked up the Catwoman arc
>Fucked up the Joker vs. Riddler arc
>Monster arc was mediocre
>Only good story has been his Elmer Fudd story

Not a good sign.

Anyone who thinks is a good idea is not.

Glad they changed that JaR """"artist"""".

Why? What's wrong with any of it?

You mean the ending where we discovered that war was never ending a bad and that the nine panel grid is like bars on a page was the only part you found not to be shallow? Because it has the depth of a kiddie pool.

How about Batman siding with a child murderer and that not being the thing he regrets for starters?

You're shallow if that's the only thing you can day about omega men.

How do you know he doesn't regret that?

well, I mean there is NO way Selina could beat Talia in a fight. So I see it as her only option

Last arc suffered mostly from being unnecassry long. Otherwise i have been enjoying King's run- besides I AM BANE ending.

Also i have been waiting for a Bruce/Selina marriage and hopefully King does a emotional arc before the grand wedding. I believe this marriage thing going to stuck at least troughout Kings run so lets see where that goes.

And i hope he stops with that Cat/Bat thing. We get it thats who they really are...

How do you know he does?

It's kinda funny hearing Grant talk about respecting the contributions and work of people who came before you when he spent a considerable amount of time pissing on Talia and most of O'Neil's legacy.

But Batman does regret that, it's why he tried to kill the riddler in the first place.

The panels...are like a cage!

All that story he told to Selina was about his regret. Thats why he tries to kill Riddleman at the end.

Because he says as much when he tried to kill the riddler.

>the cat..
>the bat..

dropped

>calls writers shallow
>can only notice shallow details

In comparison to the rest of the comic, yes it is much deeper

How to write a king comic:

>1/12th cuckold porn
>9/12th write about iraq/afghanistan
>2/12th out of character dialogue

After being his ally for a little while, because it just makes sense for Batman considering his history. We all know Batman lets child murder slide until he gets frustrated by the motivations behind said child murder.

>writing is full of shallow observations
>somehow not shallow

>After being his ally for a little while
Yeah that's the point you stupid fuck, Batman thought the Riddler was the necessary evil but it was all a ruse by the riddler which is why he tried to kill him.

Not a relationship.
It was a one time kiss, and they were both mafia so it felt less sexual than everyone acts like it is.

Wait the child murder was a ruse?

>somehow it's the writer's fault I'm shallow.

Will never happen while movies are being made.
DC isn't going full synergy like Marvel is, but they sure as hell ain't gonna retire their most well known character in a way that would likely confused new readers.

Yes, as explained last issue the entire thing was a ruse by the riddler. God why are you so fucking slow? He killed the Kid to create Kite man so Kite man and Batman would betray him.

No he did kill Charlie the ruse was the whole point of the war, Bats thought he could have used Riddler to take out the Joker but it turned out Riddler only started the war to get Joker to laugh, so the guilt over all the people dead got to Bats.

Batman and Kite man teamed up in the second to last issue, Batman didn't actually ally himself with the Riddler and was plotting how to stop him.
>read the comic before you call it shit.

So Batman is cool with murdering children if the ends justify the means. King is the most brilliant writer of all time.

So he should have nothing to feel guilty about.
