Hey fellas, can you tell me some Killer Croc stories you like? I wanna read some issues with him as I've just realized I just know him from TAS and that lackluster Barcelona comic, and there seems to be a lot more to the character.
So far I'm thinking of getting that "Arkham" TP which includes some quintessential stories of him like his original arc, his Swamp Thing story, the Joker's Asylum issue and "Requiem for a Killer". It's also a pretty good value. So any more good stuff about him? Preferably stuff I can get a hold on in the form of TPs.
Justin Moore
Bump.
Also where is pic related from?
Owen Myers
I dunno about specific comics, but he’s pretty cool in his episodes of The Batman and Beware the Batman.
John Brooks
I love requiem for a killer, those were good times.
Ethan Jenkins
He isn't a main character, but his parts in Arkham Asylum: Living Hell are really good.
Just stay away from any post-Hush stories that portray him as an actual mutant gator monster with a long snout and a tail.
Kevin Smith
>Beware the Batman Oh yes, he has a very cool design there to say the least, and I am pretty interested in that show. There's something about it that makes it look like a labor of love (much like Brave and the Bold) to me. Probably the obscure villains and some Outsiders nods I'm aware of. So I was going to watch it sometime.
Not so sure about The Batman tho, didn't like what I saw of that show.
Yeah, I have read that is one of the classic Croc stories and it luckily is included in that compilation TP I'm gonna get.
Noted, stuff like this is fine by me, I had read good things about that comic and I will try to check it out now.
>Just stay away from any post-Hush stories that portray him as an actual mutant gator monster with a long snout and a tail. Let me guess, he became a Lizard ripoff and was used as muscle for hire and nothing else?
Carson Diaz
>Let me guess, he became a Lizard ripoff and was used as muscle for hire and nothing else?
For the most part, yes. Though there is some stuff with Suicide Squad that humanizes him a bit.
Levi Morris
Yeah, that sucks, since it's the most humane portrayals of Croc I'm after. TAS gives us but a tiny glimpse into this Croc in the episode "Freakshow" but otherwise he was a only an indimidating, streetwise thug at his smartest. I was not planning to touch the modern Suicide Squad anyways. Nor most modern comics unless I'm told they're really good, I mostly want to read classic stuff.
John Collins
There's also Batman: Earth One, Vol. 2, which has Croc as a sympathetic hermit that just wants to be left alone. Keep in mind it's a sequel to Vol. 1 of Earth One.
Jaxson Howard
This sounds perfect even if it is a brief bit with him or whatever. I'll definitely check this one out, I do not mind it being part of a larger story since I also want to read more good Batman stuff period.
Wyatt Nguyen
Didn't in the batman he had a soft spoken southern accent? He didn't sound like no negro
Colton White
Read the first story arc with Killer Croc, starts with Detective Comics #523 and Batman #357 (also the first appearance of the original Jason Todd). It’s a pretty cool story, the issues go for a lot (especial 357) and have never been collected though so you have to read it online.
Aaron Nelson
Well, there's pic related. It should have most of Croc's early appearances, I think? It has:
>Collects DETECTIVE COMICS #525, #660 and #808-810; BATMAN #358, #359, #471, #489, #512, #521 and #522; BATMAN AND ROBIN #23.4; JOKER'S ASYLUM KILLER CROC #1; and BATMAN CHRONICLES #3
I have checked Requiem for a Killer is there, as is when he's revealed. Are there any missing that I should read before, anything important?
Yeah he did not sound like a black to me, and I'm not an expert on anglo accents but the idea I got off his voice was that he was supposed to be a swamp-dwelling hillbilly? Like Kermit when he's playing the banjo or something. I dunno, I didn't like that show very much, don't ask me to remember much.
Jaxson Garcia
>>Collects DETECTIVE COMICS #525, #660 and #808-810; BATMAN #358, #359, #471, #489, #512, #521 and #522; BATMAN AND ROBIN #23.4; JOKER'S ASYLUM KILLER CROC #1; and BATMAN CHRONICLES #3 I didn’t realize all that was in there, that’s pretty cool. You will get the gist of it, he basically just appears in the shadows in 357
Mason Perry
Awesome, nice to have confirmation from someone who has actually read them. Thanks!
Alexander Roberts
Killer Croc is one of my favorite DC characters, I absolutely love him.
3 of my top recommendations would be: >Killer Croc #1 (Villain month) >Joker's Asylum: Killer Croc >Batman Eternal (Not sure of which issues)
He's not written great in the current suicide Squad book, but every now and then he gets his time to shine.
Ian Gutierrez
Might as well story time the little segment
Jace Morgan

Austin Robinson
Earth one croc is the best croc
Mason Sullivan

Brody Kelly
And that's the end.
I have another short Croc story from suicide squad if anybody wants to see a more sad one from his childhood
Also, Croc was fantastic in Red hood and the outlaws
Hunter Brown
That "Killer Croc" issue 1 is actually Batman and Robin 23.4, right? It would make sense, cause the cover of the Arkham paperback is the same that the one of that issue. In that case, fuck yeah, there's two of those in the TP. How is Batman Eternal as a whole?
And cute little story time, it gives me hope for that run of SS, but I think it will be a long time before I get to reading it, there's so much more I'd rather read before it.
Very, very nice. This is exactly what I wanted from Croc when I made this thread. I will check out these too.
Gabriel Fisher
>That "Killer Croc" issue 1 is actually Batman and Robin 23.4, right? I looked it up, and yeah, that's right. And yeah, I got the TP, it's pretty great. >How is Batman Eternal as a whole? Wouldn't know, only read the Croc stories in it, but the writer writes an amazing Waylon
Anthony Harris
Do you have croc vs bane round 1 and round 2 from years later?
Caleb Jackson
This is the only Croc vs Bane page I have, I believe it's from round 2 in Eternal.
It's nice to see writers know he's not an idiot
Kevin Taylor
Gonna storytime that other story I mentioned

Those are the only two stories I have saved, so I'm just gonna post random pages and pictures of Croc I have saved

Liam Smith
So how's Metal been treating you Croc?
Isaac Wilson
Oh
Oh dear
Levi Flores

Cameron Smith
There are a lot of black people from the south. Actually the stereotypical "black voice" is a take-off of a southern accent.

Ayden Sanchez
The one where he became a star attorney was my favourite story.
Hunter Price
>Killer Croc is one of my favorite DC characters, I absolutely love him. Same, I find him to be extremely underrated. I also prefer when he's more thoughtful than a mindless cannibal. Pic related is one of my favorite comics
Kayden Williams
hell yeah, same here
Angel Smith

Joseph Torres
What is the best look for Croc and why is it his Arkham Origins design?
Jack Bailey
...
Jaxon Taylor
...
Ethan Jones
remember when Croc was a xenomorph?
Caleb Hughes
wow
Connor White
Reading this thread, is it safe to say Croc is the most consistently well written Batman rogue?
Alexander Johnson
Because it has the right balance between man and crocodile. Anything with a snout is Lizard-tier trash, and people forget that Croc originally was just a guy with a skin condition with filed down teeth
Jayden Young
Again, depends on the writer. In most suicide squad issues, he's an idiot who speaks in third person and needs to be taught how to read.
James Perry

Luke Anderson
I'd fuck Killer Croc desu

Ayden Martinez
Wait, croc is black. So not only does he wish not to be a freak he aslo wants to be white?
Leo Wood
In The Batman he had a Cajun accent and was voiced by Ron Perlman.
Jason Jones
>reeeeeeee
Alexander Lee
The writer is probably someone who ignores previous continuity and likes white people.
So, like, the Sinestro to Bendis's Hal Jordan.
Grayson Parker
Killer Croc is my husbando.
That's his best looking design but I will say Arkham Asylum's design is very effective for making you dread going down to his lair in the old sewers.
Arkham Knight is also effective because you despise the guy who did that to him.
Zachary Rodriguez
Batman Eternal has a lot of great KC stuff. He's been getting good content across mediums since his Villains Month Oneshot.
Owen Clark
Who would get along with Waylon more: Arkillo or King Shark?
Colton Williams
I like when he looks like an actual crocodile
Dominic Gonzalez
I don't mind it, but I still prefer a more humanoid face. The snout's a little much.
