2016 SoP: Kevin Smith Batman

actually those are pretty great

Some of Kevin's worst work honestly. I was glad I read these before committing to a purchase.

Bitch to be you right now OP.

>moving to Mexico to start your own business for 20K
Is this really possible?

>>78583952
20k USD is like a millionaire in Mexico

>>78583896
it doesn't seem too terrible right now, what goes so wrong

>>78584031
The dialogue peaks at mediocre, Kevin's take on the characters is one-dimensional and boring, and overall I found most of it to be a snooze. But that's just my opinion.

Also art is ugly.

>>78583998
What the fuck is this shit.

>>78584085
the art IS dreadful, pretty sure that's a fact

>>78584081
I don't really read Batman, is Joker always this gay?

>>78584206
No, he's only gay for Batman. Sometimes a competent writer gets hold of him. Just not often.

is this meant to be satire?

It's funny listening to the Fatman on Batman podcast with Grant Morrison because Grant will talk about some of his writing techniques, and Smith will say something like "oh yeah I try to do that too when I write Batman."

I wonder if he's aware that he's a completely shit writer.

>>78584378
>I wonder if he's aware that he's a completely shit writer.
I seriously doubt it.

100k would work reasonably better.

Surely Batman is dead and not just aping Deadshot's trick. How thrilling.

>>78585102
Joker want to lick goats?

should've aimed for his mouth.

tho knowing Batman he'd probably catch with his teeth.

>>78584031
The comic triggers all the batfags, who go all "NOT MUH BATMAN". Smith also writes dialogue like your typical stoner comedy, and that triggers them further.
These are not bad comics, but they dont feel like Batman comics.

I'm not a batfag at all, but the quality of it ranges from poor to average and the art is awful. They're not bad comics, but they're not good by any stretch.

Fuck off. Access to the Joker alone would be worth millions to someone.

Now I want a crossover where Batman helps fight the Flood. Preferably with Poison Ivy teaming up with the Gravemind.

Onomatopoeia was a good concept for a villain yet so terribly executed. He should have been an antagonist that was based on deception and not fighting.

>"When I did Green Arrow, I went with Onomatopoeia for a villain, just because I loved that word, and it kind of formed the character inasmuch as he would say sounds out loud. It only kind of works – I think – on a comic book page because if you have a gun going off, they usually write BLAM! and then you can have, you know, the character saying "BLAM!" in a word balloon, but like if you tried to do that cinematically you can't really rock it. A gun in a film sounds completely different. It doesn't read as BLAM! and so to have a dude say BLAM! after a true gunshot, all these people would be like "he's just retarded". I think it works great in print and on a comic book page. I don't think that character would translate very well outside of that.”

What the fuck Kevin?

>>78586603
It's a little jarring because I can't tell if he's just saying the sound effect, which is very comic book-y and kooky but sort of works (especially for a Batman rogue) or if he's supposed to be mimicking the actual sound, which doesn't work at all but is hilarious to imagine (but maybe would work with a different design and some kind of sound-echoing tech).

That one cover of him among the sound effects is great though, and I do think he has a lot of potential as a comic book villain. But making him generic assassin #3 was a bad move, I agree.

Gosh, Smith writes such an unthinkably lame Joker.

It's bottom of the barrel humor that wants desperately to edgy, but is simultaneously adherent to DC's standards and practices.

Like, Joker throwing shit filled with razor blades at a guard is distasteful and brainless as it is, but then we've gotta censor the word Kevin Smith clearly wanted to use with the word "poo", something more befitting a 4 year old.

And then he throws us the insultingly unclever "kid went from BROWN-baggin it to BODY-baggin it, huh? NICE."

Like, fuck- that's the kind of pithy, miserable groaner that Horatio Caine would drop.

>>78586143
Oh right, Cannabis, because Kevin Smith.
This is why I hate stoners.

JESUS CHRIST KEVIN

Besides the "batman pissed his pants" bit, Widening Gyre is pretty decent, and I'd love to see how it ends.
And Smith writes a fun Nightwing. I don't want him on Grayson, but if and when that ends, a Kevin Smith run on Dick's next ongoing sounds promising.

You I could deal with him on like a Kid Flash book. Natural reason to write in fanboying over DCU stuff and his dumb sense of humor works better on a young character.

>fanboying over DCU stuff and his dumb sense of humor works better on a young character.
Teen Titans by Silent Bob. It could work if he doesn't put in too many pot jokes, and it would be better than anything so far since Flashpoint.
