looks alright. the interviews snyder did for this issue are nice but i have a feeling it won't translate very well onto page
>>
>>79022972
Haha I get it because Batman and Joker fought to the "death"
>>
Is it nearly time for Bruce to be Batman again? Mecha-Hermes was fun at the points he got crapped on by established heroes and villains that haven't basically switched on a light for the entirety of my lifespan as their primary contribution to the good fight, but he is wearing thin. I want Batman back. Especially as we don't have DickBats anymore.

this arc has been really good, and snyder described the finale as "#50 is literally quasars and fifty foot monsters and all of that stuff" which is exciting

Because Snyder needs to make sure half the Bat-Family is of his own creation.
>>
>>79024271
snyder said he has no interest/can't get a grip on damian's voice and basically only likes to write his own creations, dick grayson, and cassandra cain (whenever he gets around to that)

>>
>>79024335
Damian is literally the easiest person in the entire bat family to write other than Stephanie and Alfred...what the fuck
>>
>>79024495
His son is Damian's age. Writing him makes him feel uncomfortable.
>>
>>79024335
That is what I have suspected all along (instead of the "he reminds me of my son" bullshit), because, IMHO, he doesn't really get Bruce either. And considering that in many important ways Damian is pretty much Bruce Wayne turned up eleven, this fits the pattern.
Don't believe? Why on earth is he then using his precious time as Batman writer writing about *Gordon* as Batman or populating the book with characters that he feels more confortable writing then (Julia, Julie, Harper, Duke?)
>>
>>79024687
because he wants those characters to be the new bat family
Snyder has slowly but surely created a new bat family for Bruce after Death of the family.
I didn't see it at first but he has straight up added all these new characters for the prime purpose of ushering in a new era with Batman
>>
>>79024863
while keeping some of the old around, like dick
>>
>>79024863
Ah. That makes Death of the Family make more sense.
It's still stupid, but it at least makes more sense, conceptually.
>>
>>79024863
Yes, I believe that is exactly what he is doing, but what is his reason for doing it exactly and why it is allowed?
>>
>>79025383
>what is his reason for doing it
What comic writer wouldn't want the opportunity to single-handedly fill the entire Batfamily roster? For at least 5-10 years of continuity after you leave, your mark will still be there. I'm sure if he could erase Damian and create his own Robin he would
>why it is allowed
Because Snyder continues to sell and that's all DC cares about.
>>
>>79025449
He is creating his own Robin. What do you think Duke is?
>>
>>79025449
I better start buying Robin
>>
>>79023058
It's my dick
>>
>>79025479
Yeah but Duke was sent to his own series that doesn't sell very well. Now he'll be in the main Bat book which is guaranteed to never die.

Knightfall and NML were both good.

>>
>>79027395
This....isn't a bad take on Two-Face.
I kind of agree that they let Harvey be a little too pathetic.
>>
Wait, so Gordon hasn't kicked this guy's ass yet? All this grandstanding about a new Batman and he loses to the first Supervillain he meets?! That's insulting!
>>
>>79028003
the problem becomes "how do we adapt two-face to snyder's larger story aesthetic?" which I thought he did with riddler really well but two-face is suited more for small stories in my opinion. most of what he does is kidnapping and shooting guns or pulling heists. it'll be interesting to see how he does "big" two-face i.e. riddler turning gotham city into a jungle controlled by television screens and drone robots
>>

Not really
Knightfall is especially overrated

There is literally nothing wrong with that. And after Robin War I like Duke a lot more than Damian

He just needs a Joker ongoing already so he can be as edgy there as he wants.

Didn't Snyder recommend Robin SoB as the book to pick up out of the DCYou initiative?
Either way, I recall him stating he likes the character in interviews, but doesn't feel comfortable writing him.
>>
>>79028967
Snyder was born in '76, so he probably wrote his first stories of Batman jerking off the Joker on analogue media.

>"Again, to be clear, the romance between them for me has always been this sense of them locked in this dance. And Joker likes to play it up. “We love each other. We can never leave each other. I am the other half of you. You complete me.” It’s not prosaic or a real romantic love. They are opposites and the Joker loves to use that language to taunt Batman. “You’ll never be rid of me. We are married. You can’t get rid of me. We will forever be partners in this way.”

On a side note, I believe Batman and Joker only find each other interesting because of who they've become. If both were to "change", the connection between them would be lost. And neither of them wants that.

>>79025449
You know what? Maybe DC should just to sealed off runs where they let a creator like Snyder do their thing in a little micro-verse. Kinda like Ultimate Spider-man but even more creator contained.
Honestly, I don't see a future with the bloated crossover bullshit we've gotten used to in the past thirty years.
I think it's time we focused more on creator controlled books instead of bloated company wide crossover events.
Certainly Image and smaller publishers recognize this. DC and Marvel have just disappeared too far up their own multi-issue crossover-ed variant covered asses.

>I think it's time we focused more on creator controlled books instead of bloated company wide crossover events.
They kinda did it with DCYou, all those books feel self contained and the creator has pretty big imput on how they book is presented. You have action books, political satire, spy books, teenage oriented books, space terrorism, supernatural stuff etc. Omega Men feels different from Prez which feels different from Midnighter which feels different from Gotham Academy and so on.
Doesn't seem to sell though. Crossovers, events and comics with a shitload of variants are the ones that bring money. The Big Two won't ever get rid of these things as long as they sell. You have to realize that capefans are not that interested in creators and self-contained books. It's why every time someone tries to do something different with the characters everyone loses their shit and goes in "not muh" mode.
