The Best and Worst Moments of Infinite Crisis

Until I see proof that those are tears, I'm going with sweat. I'm not saying Batman never cries... it just would feel completely out of context here, despite the fact that Nightwing's life was at stake. I mean, if there's one thing Batman knows how to do, it's keep his cool and remain level headed when he needs to (even our anti-social, jerk Batman can do this), and that's what he had to do here because he was providing a distraction for Brother Eye. Nevertheless, I don't think it matters all that much.


For the sake of argument, wasnt he crying or at least showing emotion during Identity Crisis.
 
He cradled Tim with a sad look on his face when they found Jack's body, but I don't recall Bruce ever actually crying in IDC. I haven't looked at the issues since I read them the first time, though.

Well there was that cover for #6, I dont think hes crying but it kinda takes the cool under pressure argument for a loop.
 
The only time I remember Batman crying was during the Venom arc.
 
Superboy Prime killing 5 of so of the Teen Titans.
 
Well, to be fair... covers ALWAYS lie or exaggerate what actually happens in the issue... and by the end of it, he did figure out who was behind Sue Didney's murder.


The only time I can remember Batman crying was during Death in the Family. Well, also when his parents were murdered too, but he was only like, 12 at the time.
 
Forgive me if these are too big, a mod or admin can edit them to just the url if they are. Best parts are circled in a light blue color.

I thought Batman's nervous-breakdown/panic-attack was one of the best character moments. I also do not think he was crying when he was taking out Brother Eye.
 
Best: The splash page with all the villians, Black Adam killing Psycho Pirate, Superboy Prime vs. Titans, Flashes vs. Superboy Prime, Batmans break down. and alot others.

I haven't been too disappointed except for the Superman vs. Superman fight, and when Black Adam was punching SB Prime and his punches did nothing but then conner shows up and his punches are effecting SB prime. I didn't think Conner was stronger then Black Adam, I'm not the biggest expert on Conner so maybe I'm wrong.
 
More Good:

- Alex's gigantic hands reaching through that hole in space. I think all of the heroes out there collectively went no. 2 in their pants when they saw that.

- The Rock of Eternity shattering over Gotham. I may not have liked DoV as a whole, but the end did rock. Just the thought of something like that occuring is beyond awesome.

More Bad:

- On that earth that Alex creates (and then destroys) where Batman and Superman appear to be some type of Aztec warriors about to kill each other, it appears as though Batman is wearing a costume with nipples. He's probably not actually wearing a shirt and just has gray warpaint on or something... but nevertheless it made me think of the Joel Shumacher Batman movies.

- Tom Cruise chowing down on placenta. Okay, I know this has nothing to do with Infinite Crisis, but it has to be the most f**ked up, repulsive thing I've heard all day.
 
Earth-616 was funny, I especially liked the fact they were having a Civil War.

I heard about that on the daily show last night. Tom Cruise is just so out-there.

What I want to know is, was he always this nuts? Or was it just Katie Holmes and making bad movies like War of the Worlds that brought out this really f**ked up side to him?
 
I remember him being a normal guy, like five to ten years ago. Maybe he was just "in the closet" with all of this scientology, weird-ass stuff.
 
Or maybe he's ADD?

Favorites:
- SBP vs the Teen Titans
-Psycho Pirate's death
-Conner's death
-Earth 616 for sure!

Least Favorite:
-The actual idea of Conner dying
-Most of the other alternate Earth's
- WW possibly going to jail (it depresses me)

"-Superman vs. Superman was a pretty big disappointment."

Not if you throw in the "This is your life Superman" issues! The fight panels done by Benes help capture, with the exception of Wonder Woman seeing the ruined Metropolis, just how massive a fight this really was.

Two Supermen, each convinced they're doing the right thing, going totally berzerk on each other.

Awesome.
Got that right that pretty much was a huge tie-in to that fight and the whole IC series.
