It's very nice of tim to forgive jason for shanking him.

 

[Mystirious]

Maybe Battle for the Cowl has been retconned

We can always hope

 

[CConn]

I'm guessing any story that wasn't universally applauded has been retconned.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Hasnt Tony Daniel's stuff has been retconned as well? There's been like zero mention of the whole Black Mask 2 thing...

 

[Watchman]

Arkham appeared in the first issue of Batman with skull face paint on so I assume it still happened.

Tony Daniel needs to be retconned in general.

Noooooo

That means Catgirl probably still exists

Nah that is actually a continuity error that Capullo was too late to change, not blaming Capullo, but either Daniel changed his mind too late or the Editorial was too stupid.

It's a shame he ignored Life after Death, which is still my favorite thing he wrote, not to mention he had potential with his Chinatown madness story thing.

Also for all the Hoodies out there, this splash page was awesome:

And yeah, Tim's very forgiving towards Jason.

does that mean we can retcon the new 52?

So is Roman alive and is Arkham now sane-ish?

 

[Assassin]

I wish, but they're selling like hotcakes soooo

 

[Motown Marvel]

I wish, but they're selling like hotcakes soooo

they're slipping more and more with every passing month.

Arkham appears in Detective Comics #9 and will narrate most of it, that should answer your question, but you know he was never that sane to begin with, when he became Black Mask he was simply a pawn of Dr. Death and Hugo Strange.

Roman alive? I think so? Maybe? I haven't seen his murder referenced anywhere.

 

[CConn]

So has every single event comic ever.

I would guess that if he still exists in the DCU he's probably still alive and probably in Arkham or Blackgate right now

at C2E2 last week, everyone in the lines were talking about how much they love the new 52. I even heard some people saying Marvel might do the same thing because they are pissed about their low sales. I heard so much stupid ****. All I know is I;m enjoying like 6 or 7 out of 52. I'm even buying AvsX and I might get the Watchmen books because I have extra money to spend. I'm trying out so many new indies now just because it doesn't feel right going into a comic shop and only getting one book when i'm used to getting a stack.

If they went back, I would be happy, but I don't see it happening. The Marvel booth was busy, but no where as busy as the DC booth. **** was cray-Z

 

[Mystirious]

I'm digging most of the new 52 comic books at the moment definitely enjoying more titles than I was before I think

There are some characters/series I miss from the old dcu but i think I would rather they show up in the new dcu rather than retconning the DCU back to how it was pre Flashpoint personally

 

[Roose Bolton]

Yeah largely I'm happy with the new 52.

Now that we've got Roman back hopefully we can get some more of his forced cannibalism shenanigans

 

[Mystirious]

He was one twisted and crazy jive mutha in that Catwoman story

Not surprising Selina decided to shoot him in the face

 

[Scarecrow_King]

the new 52 does have a lot of good things. But like I said before, they could've done those good things without changing everything. 90% of the good books they have going now could have been done without a reboot.

 

[Mystirious]

That's probably true actually

 

[Lord]

I never read that story arc but from the reviews the arc seems to have been ok because the finale was easy to know, but why all the hate? Is it that bad?

 

[Spider-Nerd]

I didn't think it was that bad and the art was really Daniel at his absolute best ever IMO. A lot of people had a problem with the way Jason was written. He was written as a complete lunatic in BFTC. I think in an interview Daniel wrote that his intention was to make it clear that Jason was a villain and was not coming back to the bat family.
