I thinks he hates animals. Remember the lion stuff in zero year? ^^

I dropped Zero Year half way through so no, but I guess he's just not an animal fan.

 

[Naked Shia]

so what do you think of endgame as a whole so far?

 

[antsman41]

Terrible...

 

[DrMylesOBoogie]

I get that writers now are looking for internet attention to boost sales. I get that. But what happens when down the line someone gets commissioned to write a script for a batman film or tv show, decides to research the Joker and buys this awful story? 'i didnt know Joker was

only has one hand.

Damn, I better put that in or the fans won't be happy'. This is infuriating.

 

[Naked Shia]

Alfred will have two hands again soon. It must be stated that one of his hands will be made of wood though.

 

[antsman41]

Wood, seriously? At least go the SW route and use a robotic hand that all but retcons the removal.

I hope you realize how unrealistic this sounds.

It's not unrealistic. New readers will buy this crap. For them it will be a definitive take and influence future adaptations of the character. DC has gotten very, very messy again in recent years and has completely alienated a lot of longtime readers.

 

[Tron Bonne]

You realize that these adaptations have to go through a process, right? It's not like an artist stands up one day and decides, "Hey, I'm going to make a Batman film!" and it instantly pops into existence.

Modern comics are having a huge influence on what's happening with live action DC adaptations. Gotham incorporated many elements of the dreadful Batman Earth One. Flash uses a lot of John's stuff.

More and more they are abandoning the classic iconic takes that have given these properties longevity and adapting from comics that are designed to be sensationalist for attention. If one handed Alfred lasts you can bet some idiot will think its cool and edgy enough to adapt in another incarnation. And what's going on with the Joker right now destroys the character for me.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Alright then.

The thing that give these properties longevity is the fact that they're so flexible. Do you really think the "classic" takes would sell nowadays? They wouldn't.

The modern takes are just as important and relevant as the classics. Maybe even more so, if you want comic books to survive.

 

[Gee]

I love Endgame so far. Poor Alfred, still.

I have a strong feeling [BLACKOUT]Batman will kill Joker next month[/BLACKOUT]...

 

[CConn]

Batman is not going to [blackout].....[/blackout] The [blackout]........[/blackout].

Although I would like if it happened just to upset all the people who swear Batman doesn't [blackout].....[/blackout].

 

[Broseph44]

As usual I see the haters are hating haha. But I'm loving Endgame. This weeks issue was great. I've loved the entire run on Batman so I'm a happy camper.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Catwoman is bi now.

 

[antsman41]

Catwoman is bi now.

How is this news?

She's always been pretty sexual mysterious but clearly swinging for both teams.

 

[Roose Bolton]

I don't recall I've ever seen her kiss another woman "onscreen" before, or really gotten than vibe outside of being really close to Harley and Ivy. But regardless, this out and out confirms it now.

 

[Fans of Reilly]

Catwoman is bi now.

now I thought she was Bi since prostitution Part of her origins and There were many signals of a thing between her and Holly Robinson

 

[Roose Bolton]

As I said, it's been made "official" as of the newest issue. Whether or not she showed any signs beforehand, this out and out confirms it.

 

[antsman41]

This is like saying Poison Ivy likes plants.

 

[Roose Bolton]

No it's not. Selina is a flirtatious character, and I'm sure she's flirted with women before, but that's because she flirts with every character she meets. She's a passionate woman, with a past as a sex worker in a poor environment, so she probably couldn't be choosy with her clients, but that doesn't necessarily equate her to being a bisexual. Its not totally out of the blue, but its never been an openly acknowledged thing. She's never kissed or been in an onscreen relationship with another woman before, so yeah, I do think this news has merit.

the difference between a hater and a fanboy is that us haters gave legitimate reasons not to like what happens in batman, unlike fanboys who can only state "I like it because it's great".

This issue was badly written, if only because the characterization made no sense at all. The super-villain team-up was totally dumb. There is no way that many of them would help batman that easily.

I like Julia in eternal, but she's really a non character here. The way she tells bruce about Alfred is so unnatural, it makes her look like a robot.

I could go on, but I won't, because even though those points are legitimate criticisms, you will insist I'm just a hater, instead of acknowledging people can have valid reasons not to like endgame.

It doesn't bother me that people appreciate this arc, after all, we can disagree and still respect others opinions, but I find it funny that there are some people whose only argument is "they are just hating on tbe book because they are haters". Why don't you explain what made this issue great for you instead? It would be more interesting.

 

[Darkness Falls]

i thought the new issue was good *shrugs*
