Official Batman Titles thread 2.0 - Part 4

Tim Drake is forced to step out from behind his keyboard when an international organization seeks to capture or kill super-powered teenagers. As Red Robin, he must team up with the mysterious and belligerent powerhouse thief known as Wonder Girl and a hyperactive speedster calling himself Kid Flash in TEEN TITANS #1, by Scott Lobdell and artists Brett Booth and Norm Rapmund.

Tim's new costume is definatly awesome, but Superboy and the rest just look... so Extreme.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Scott Lobdell again, hmmmm wait be see I guess

 

[HighFivingMF]

Tim looks awesome. I can't figure out what's going on with Superboy's, I need a different angle on Kid Flash. Not sure about the rest.

What in crispy Panko-breaded hell is this?!?!!?

 

[Mystirious]

Great Scot!

What the what are those costumes meant to be. Kid Flash looks demonic Superboy looks like Arnie and why is everything red

And Look at Wonder Girls costume. Just look at it

 

[Mystirious]

And Superboy has the S tattooed on him. Way to keep your secret identity secret Conner

It looks like a bar code. As in something he didn't intentionally put on himself.

But I guess that means Shaq and Donald Faison are Superman too!

 

[Primal Slayer]

So looks like DC finally gets to get rid of all the original YJ continuity and the 2nd gen TT run since all of them are different and havent met yet.

 

[Mystirious]

That is even more confuzzling though

I would certainly rank Morrison high on my list; I think the way he incorporated any continuity he could into his story, creating a timeline where the pulp stories, the sixties adventures, and the darker edge of the character all fit and make sense is completely brilliant. He balances the character incredibly well.

One of my favourite interpretations of Batman actually came from Greg Rucka's novelization of No Man's Land. I think Rucka, more so than a lot of writers, has a grasp on the personality of Gotham and the people inside it. Everyone feels right in a Greg Rucka story.

Yep i think Rucka is the greatest writer who has written for dc comics

 

[Roose Bolton]

are you going to read his Punisher series Mysti?

 

[HighFivingMF]

That is even more confuzzling though

How? They never met. Simple as that.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Looks like they will be the most affected by this reboot since their entire history is being ignored.

 

[Mystirious]

I meant the bar code was confuzzling HighFivingMF

I am curious how much Superboy costs though

are you going to read his Punisher series Mysti?

Yep i definitely will be

Not a big Punisher fan but if Rucka is writing it I am sure it will be interesting

 

[RockSP]

Tim's new suit looks cool. Eh on the rest.

Since Tim is back to the domino mask, I think Nightwing's new costume should have covered his head.

 

[Primal Slayer]

The only problem I have with Tims suit is that it reminds me to much of Falcon from Marvel. Probably cause of the wings.

 

[Mystirious]

It actually is Falcon's costume

In the year between Infinite Crisis and One Year Later Tim ran off and pretended to be the Falcon so he could be Captain America's sidekick

Poor tim.....

 

[The Batman]

I'm not sure, but author Marc Tyler Nobleman has been doing research for years now and has a book about Finger's life coming out in 2012. All I've ever heard is Finger died after years of struggling with poverty and alcoholism.

DC reacted to his death initially in a respectful manner:

But the next year, DC ran a very mean-spirited story parodying Finger's tendencies to be late with scripts due to so much research and to ask for pay advances:

This very cruel story written after the man had died was written by 50's Batman writer David Vern, a.k.a. David V. Reed, and although he was a heck of a good Batman writer, this story pisses me off. Longtime Aquaman and Metamorpho artist Ramona Fradon drew it, but she never hung out in the DC offices and didn't know the cliques around there, so she had no idea the story was a mean spirited shot at Finger.

I think I remember reading about that on "Dial B for Blog". Its weird how they would do that post humorously....in fact, it quasi-sadistic, really.

 

[Mystirious]

Poor tim.....

What's scary is that it took everyone in the Marvel universe twelve months before they noticed that the Falcon wasnt black

 

[RockSP]

Well Cap is colorblind. And ageblind.

This is the worst **** I've seen in my life. Are we in the nineties? Because that's what this is. This is the nineties. In fact, based on that Superboy, this is worse than the nineties.

Kid Flash also looks like crap. Really, one hundred percent crap.

And Tim? Well, the first thing I saw was the wings, and I thought "Those look good, and they give him a distinguishing feature from the rest of the Bat-family"... but then I saw the rest of the costume, which is garbage.

Not thrilled about continuity changes for these heroes, either. Superboy looks fresh out of the tank, while Wonder Girl has obviously changed and Bart (assuming it's Bart) seems to have been forgotten by everyone, based on the description.

Well, at least they didn't **** up the bat-books.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I didn't even read the description. Hahaha, oh man.

 

[Drz]

So i truly am the only one who likes the new Red Robin costume. :*(

 

[Tron Bonne]

Probably.

 

[HighFivingMF]

So i truly am the only one who likes the new Red Robin costume. :*(

I do too. Wanna get dinner?
