Batman OYL discussion thread

[Anubis]

In this day and age maybe. Solid run used to be like 30 issues.

 

[Darthphere]

Yeah...who knows Dini might stay on for a while.

 

[Mee]

Glad Face the Face is over, ended pretty lame IMO. (who the heck is Great White Shark??) Bring on Kubert and Morrison.

 

[Darthphere]

Go read Arkham Asylum:Living Hell by Dan Slott NOW! You'll thank me later.

Is there a money back guarantee?

 

[Darthphere]

Yes.

 

[Mee]

Yes!

 

[Swordmaster]

Finally got my cipy of Detective today. It kicks so much ass it's not even funny.

Best line:

Spoiler

I hear the slow gurgle of pleasure in the muggers throat. I'll turn it into a scream

 

[Ceb-Man]

I hope Dini stays on for quite a while. That issue looked awesome!

 

[Binker]

Which cover are you going to get?

 

[Darthphere]

Whichever my store puts in my box.

 

[Binker]

Okay,

but still; which would you want to get?

 

[Darthphere]

Doesnt really matter to me.

 

[SpideyInATree]

I'll probably get the top cover. A little more colorful. That other one looks like someone smeared dookie all over it.

 

[drastic_quench]

The second one. If my LCS puts the other in my box I just swap it out with the other out on the rack.

 

[Darthphere]

They both kinda suck anyway.

 

[trustyside-kick]

First cover has too much red but the second is too gray, lol. I think I would prefer the first however.

 

[Kraven]

I think the top one looks better, I'll definately be picking that one up. I like the color.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

First one. I like it for the color, and Batman's design. The second is cool, but not as good poitioning as the frist.....I think.

Meh, I'll probably pick up the TPB after I collect them....so....whatever. lol.

 

[Mister J]

I'll grab the first one. The second one reminds me of the cover to All-Star #1...that's not a good thing.

 

[JTStarkiller]

I like the monochromatic style of the second one, but I don't like the color they used.

I'll get the first one, because the color is nice and Batman actually looks better in that one.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Well, it's a nice try. But, Jim Lee's cover is better.

 

[JTStarkiller]

This is my first time ever to follow any ongoing comics, so I'm pretty excited. I went and purchased all 8 parts of Face the Face and DC 821, and just finished them, so I'm now officially caught up with Batman OYL. FTF was great, and 821 reminds me how much I love Dini's work on TAS.

So I'm warning you, I tend to cause a lot of mayhem on message boards, and I intend on wreaking havoc in this thread.

Nah, I'm a pretty laid-back guy.

Can't wait for 655.

Cant say im too excited about Morrison on Batman but I guess the first issue will let me know whats up. But damn Detective Comics is in my top 5. Looks like JH Williams doesnt stick around long.
