Good DC stuff?

I can't stand even knowing he's alive. He's such a waste of a character as far as I'm concerned.

I did, however, like the fact that Tim managed to get a couple of good hits in on him when he was being emo over Batman moving on and taking a new Robin. Tim's the worst fighter in the Bat-family.

Really? Is this good? I looked at the cover on the TPB and instantly laughed it off.

It's not that bad. And Jason Todd is a cool character when used right.

When used right means pushing up daisies.

 

[Doc Destruction]

Not to me, yo!

In your opinion, was Leonard Part 6 the greatest movie ever made?

 

[Doc Destruction]

ROFL nice reference. I forgot that movie even existed.

lol, wow... I got way more off this then I got off the Marvel threads. Someone said I should follow the writers that were considered particularly good, so I'll do that. I'll also look into that huge list Rorschach II provided as much as possible. Skimming, I know I've already read at least a little of it. Thanks everyone.

Born In A World Of Tragedy: Greg Rucka Reflects On His Batman Work, Part One [Interview]

To say that Greg Rucka had a profound impact on DC Comics in the 21st Century is underselling things quite a bit. After arriving on the scene in the late ’90s, he became one of the few writers to have written all three of DC’s biggest characters, with critically acclaimed runs on Action Comics and Wonder Woman. It was on Batman, however, where he made his biggest impact, as one of the writers for the year-long No Man’s Land crossover, the relaunched “New Gotham” era of Detective Comics, and cowriter of the enduringly influential Gotham Central.

Today, we begin an in-depth look back at Rucka’s tenure on the Dark Knight, starting with No Man’s Land, both the comic and its surprisingly popular novelization, in which Gotham City becomes a dark dystopia following a cataclysmic earthquake; his feelings about the core idea of Batman; and his frustrations on seeing the Joker show up in the pages of Superman.

Our chat continues today as he looks back on becoming the regular writer of Detective Comics, speaking very candidly about trouble with DC editorial, his creation of Sasha Bordeaux, and the comic he and Rick Burchett created that he considers to be a perfect done-in-one issue.

Batman Is A Fact Of Life: Greg Rucka Reflects On His Batman Work, Part Three [Interview]

Today we finish our three-part interview series with a look at Gotham Central, the book that focused on the non-superhero police detectives of Gotham City. Rucka speaks at length about how looking at Batman from the outside changes how the character works, the nature of collaboration with series co-writer Ed Brubaker and artist Michael Lark, and how the book produced one of the greatest Joker stories of all time.
