Official Batman Titles thread 2.0 - Part 10

[Mystirious]

But with added owls

Spoiler

And I really had hoped Lincoln March would turn put to be a genuinely good guy because it just seemed so obvious that he would turn out to be a villain so this twist isn't really shocking apart from the Wayne connection

Spoiler

he is truly a fan of tony daniel's work kekekeke ^_^

So it would seem

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Haven't read the issue, but read the spoiler. Sounds like Snyder pulled the trigger on the callback Morrison toyed with.

Yeah, but at least Morrison was only a pseudo revival of Thomas Jr. this is just entirely inferior. At least in my eyes.

 

[Mystirious]

Spoiler

There are only three 'evil long lost relative' stories that are good

Batwoman: Elegy
Star Wars
Venture Brothers

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Your opinion is nulled by not including Toy Story 2

 

[Motown Marvel]

more and more snyder is feeling like a poor man's morrison.

 

[Mystirious]

You're right Toy Story 2 totally counts as well

 

[Mystirious]

more and more snyder is feeling like a poor man's morrison.

Or a rich man's Tony Daniels

 

[Karem-Knight]

How can you forget the original Metal Gear Solid!?

Also, **** this reveleation. Seriously. The Grayson and Haly Circus stuff was already too out there, but now this? Snyder has really gone downhill in my book.

 

[Mystirious]

I really hope that whatever comes next from Snyder is better than this story arc has turned out

 

[Motown Marvel]

Or a rich man's Tony Daniels

at this point, i wouldnt say a RICH mans tony daniels. but maybe more like....tony daniels getting paid under the table.

1. I've always said that Snyder was just copying Morrison's ideas.

2. His actual story really hasn't deteriorated in quality yet though, IMO. Maybe issue #9 felt a bit decompressed, but outside of that, it's still a thoroughly enjoyable read.

[Motown Marvel]

i thought it started out solid enough. i had reservations early on, but went with it anyways. then it started getting overly drawn out, over staying its welcome, and the story telling became rather cheap.

 

[CConn]

How were issues 7&8 drawn out, though?

I mean, I wouldn't have wanted the Owls' attack to be over and down with in a issue or less...

 

[Mystirious]

It felt a little padded out to me but that might have been because of the tie ins

 

[CConn]

Yeah, exactly. People seem to BR considering the tie-ins part of the story.

They're not. They're just the usual dumb editorial ploy to make as much money off the story as possible.

Exactly.

My only problem with the Hush run was that the final battle with him was like 7 pages long at most.

 

[Mystirious]

The Birds of Prey tie in was pretty great at least

 

[WompuM]

You know what would have made this a great story? None of this rubbish from issue 10. Rubbish I say. Complete rubbish. Stupid Rainman plot. So so so so so so dumb.

 

[Motown Marvel]

despite how awful the ideas were in issue 10, there was at least hope that they might be written well. buuuuuut, they werent. not at all. this issue was just complete failure.

 

[CrimsonMist]

Eh, the book wasn't that bad. I didn't hate it like I thought I would. If Bruce HAD to have a brother, cool. Whatever. There's an interesting dynamic that exists there. It, however, would have been cooler if Lincoln March was still a good person. As it is, he'll probably die in the next issue for real this time, thus totally wasting him as a character. It was well written, but it's an idea that's been done too many times and one I don't quite care for. I'll finish this arc out and trade-wait the rest. I'm dropping DC anyway.

Also, if Morrison's hyper-continuity thing is still in play for Batman, this story, a reference to a pre-crisis story in World's Finest, is fair play.

 

[TruerToTheCore]

Bring back Thomas Wayne Jr.

 

[Lord]

I think the first half of the issue was really good, but the 2nd part wasn't that badly written, this however makes me remember the end of the Hush storyline, which was writen 10 years ago.

 

[Drz]

Snyder talking about #10

Spoiler

At the end of the day the Court of Owls becomes a one-man-villain the Owlman. Personally? James Woods is my Owlman.
