Yes, the timescale for Batman was crazy. Condensing so much into such a brief (so far) career made no sense.
@MovieSlave I found that pic online with the following caption,
Batman versus his nemesis The Joker super work by Gabriele Dell Otto.
Can't say answer for how reliable that is though
Anyway, here's Dell Otto's Wikipedia entry

Edit: Looking at some other artwork online credited to him, the signature seems to match.
No problem!Thanks! I can't remember why I was looking up Batman vs Joker pics but when I came across that I had to have it as my phone background.
I want to read more stories from the late 80s and early 90s outside of his Death. Those are the only Supes trades I own.Nu52 Superman made me appreciate Post Crisis Superman a lot more. I went back and read some of the older runs on the character and he became one of my favorite characters.
He was, but I don't think future tales count as main continuity, do they? I think they're possible futures. At least that's how I see them.wasn’t New 52 Batman supposed to beIf I understand that correctly, that kind of ruins New 52 Brucethe villain (Omega) of Last Knight on Earth?
Yes but because it was Snyder and Capullo, it’s hard to put it out of mindHe was, but I don't think future tales count as main continuity, do they? I think they're possible futures. At least that's how I see them.
I can see how it would be.Yes but because it was Snyder and Capullo, it’s hard to put it out of mind
Wait, he wasn't even in his 30s?The one thing I will say about New 52 is in regards to Batman they should've went the movie route since they wanted to have their cake and eat in too meaning you just make him older than the rest of the heroes (not harder and bitter, just older) if you were not going to start over and like what the Superman comics did and make one comic set in the past and one set in the present. That way people wouldn't have been asking how did Batman have all those Robins in a 5 year span and all the other questions that were being asked. Because really for the history they had for Batman he should've been 40 while the rest should've been 21-25.
All the heroes were supposed to be in their early 20's during Justice League Origin . At the very most because of the 5 year jump after that story it would put Batman at 30 years old which is why it confused so many people.Wait, he wasn't even in his 30s?
That's a shame, although I am incredibly envious you got to work in a comic shop.After 20 some years of religiously buying comics every Wednesday, New 52 had me essentially quit and I didn't pick anything up until I started working in a comic shop.
I loved it. And miss it terribly. But I found a too good to be true job in my other passion: music. I had the privilege of using the comic shop as a library and I discovered so much new stuff I never would have otherwise exposed myself to.That's a shame, although I am incredibly envious you got to work in a comic shop.
That sounds awesome all roundI loved it. And miss it terribly. But I found a too good to be true job in my other passion: music. I had the privilege of using the comic shop as a library and I discovered so much new stuff I never would have otherwise exposed myself to.
King got himself in a hole with Batman, because he didn't actually have him marry Catwoman. Strange Adventures is another thing, he will really be pulling something off if he makes Hawkman's buddy Adam Strange a top selling solo act.I’m really looking forward to King’s Strange Adventures. I finally got around to reading his Batman after loving everything else he’s written, and I’m enjoying that as well and not really getting the hate, so I guess I’m just a Tom King fan.
Should've never had Batman propose unless you plan on having Bruce retire like James Bond.King got himself in a hole with Batman, because he didn't actually have him marry Catwoman.

Here's the thing they even Rebirth didn't take away the nobility of Jor-El. It made him regret sending Kal-El to Earth when he saw or felt it was evil but he was still Jor-El trying to understand everything that has happened. The nobility was sucked out when Bendis made him responsible for the death of Krypton and made him crazy. That's what really messed things up.I wish there were a way to retcon Superman back to what he was immediately after Rebirth with Tomasi. Leave Jon at 10 years old; explore Clark’s growth as he parents an adolescent; explore Lois’ maternal side more in depth; and I would rehabilitate the Jor el storyline by having the “Mr Oz” Jor el not be the real Jor el at all. Let’s face it, sucking all of the nobility out of Jor El was something no one really wanted to see happen.
