Y'all ready for the best Batman run since Morrison?
That doesn't mean much, but Batman #1 was really, really good.

urg.No.

Batman #1 was underwhelming m8. Obviously I'm sticking around for at least the first arc and probably more (as long as the first arc isn't AWFUL) but it felt like a pretty standard Bat comic.

I may have expected too much looking for King's Vision in a Batman comic but I was hoping it would be a bit more cerebral. But like I said, only the first issue. Omega Men's first issue isn't stellar either.

Yeah, I'm really hype for it. I really wanna see what he'll do with Gotham & Gotham Girl, first issue was really nicely structured and intriguing.

Snyder who outsold Morrison by a fuckton. And Black Mirror is still better than any arc from Morrison's clusterfuck of a run.

But Morrison regularly works with the best artists in the industry. He just needs the occasional garbage for fill-ins because the best artist in the industry take their sweet time.

Action Comics is the exception of course. Rags turned a 10 into a 7.

I'm getting serious ONeil vibes from King's run. A back to basics approach.

>>83957522
I completely blanked there's only been Snyder on Batman between the two but seriously this is how people start hating King, he becomes overhyped and popular and /co/ turns on him. I just want him to tell his story for a while before I judge him.

Don't worry about /co/ turning on him, he's talented so it's inevitable. Just like people on this board hate on Morrison and Moore. If they are talented, /co/ will eventually hate them.

Black Mirror is so overrated it's laughable. Snyder a shit. No depth or intrigue, heavy, edgy exposition. Perfect for Nolan babbies.

No. Black Mirror is great. The problem is Snyder just aped it over and over again throughout his run both in tone and structure so it seems worse in retrospect but still a 10/10 Dickbats story.

Dickbats in general is overrated but this place thinks with its Dick, both of them, so it gets a pass

I don't see how it's great besides Jock and FF's beautifully tense, dark art. It's a run of the mill Batman story.

In Morrison's hands Dick was perfect. Fun and fancy free Batman to Robin's dour intensity. Should/could still be the status quo today.

>>83956627
More money means people liked it and DC is very willing to let Snyder do more things, anon.
>>
>>83957978
It's about Dick coming to terms that he is Batman and readjusting to the monster that is Gotham that he has to wrestle with alone. As you said the art is beautiful as well which really helps but The Dealer and the secret society of rich people and what not were great at the time.

Again you think its run of the mill now because we've had the secret society in Gotham story so many times now but back then it had only been done once or twice before.

King's Batman feels closer to O'Neil's in characterization than he's been in a long time, at least that's what I got from the first issue. That's why I'm looking forward to where this will go.

Hi, Damifag, how was you ban?

Man all the negativity toward king over bats 1. It wasn't the best ever story but I found it pretty exciting. It was a cool and slightly unusual thing for batman to do. It set the stage so the speak and ended with the set up for these two gotham supermen. Not mind blowing perfect but I enjoyed the read.
But it seems like because it wasn't as good as the very best batman story they've read it's just shit.
>>
>>83958842
Same.

It's annoying as fuck, but you pretty much have to ignore /co/ when it comes to Batman runs. People's expectations are all over the place, and -- even though it's a "meme" said by creators of all types of media -- it's impossible to satisfy everyone, especially crazy autists like on /co/.

You really don't, unless it triggers you. Some prefer Snyder, other Morrison, O'Neil, etc. Not especially autistic.

>>83959003

Meming aside and also trying to be diplomatic I really think that most of Snyder's fans (unlike O'Neil and Morrison) are people who aren't super familiar with Batman as a comic character.

I imagine your typical Snyder fanboy maybe grew up on TAS and then worshiped the Nolan movies and then read Year One, Dark Knight Returns and Killing Joke and now they're into Snyder. Loeb's Hush was the same way.
>>
>>83956485
Posts like these are why i feel like King praise is more hype than anything else

Agreed wholeheartedly. Like Hush it's yet another repackaged greatest hits collection rather than a new album. For people that wanna listen to those same songs they remember, not fans of the band interested to see where they go next.

That's a Snyder hater more likely than it's a King cock sucker.

>It was really underwhelming dude, I say that as someone who really likes Tom King's writing.
THIS. So much this. He made me give a shit about Vision ffs!

But I didn't care for this at all: mediocre art ( although after Capullo anything not God Tier was gonnd chaff ); and mediocre writing.

I mean, seriously, you expect me to believe that The Goddamned Batman doesn't have a Batplane? Or, at the very least, the equivalent of a smartphone's gps that he could use to guide a plane in without needing to RIDE IT ALL THE WAY DOWN?

Yeesh.

>I'm giving it a full arc, but if it doesn't get better I'll probably drop it.
I dropped Justice League Dark and Grayson do to the Poser Art and the same artists ( who did Batman Rebirth ) is back for the second arc; so I just don't see the point.

'Tec is looking good so far though, so there's that.
>>
>>83956627
Because, books that don't sell fail. And I'd rather see Batman crush books like all different avengers x-humans or what shit than see fucking whor outsell it because Tom King refuses to tone shit down.
>>
>>83956067
I'm already enjoying King's run because it's clear in the first issue that he's going to explore the mentality and psychology of the character. not that that's a surprise, i think we all knew he would, but you need to do that in a Batman solo book.

meanwhile, it appears Detective is going be more Bat-Senpai-R-Us, which is fine if you're into that, but I'm not.
>>
>>83959003
>Some prefer Snyder, other Morrison, O'Neil, etc. Not especially autistic.

But that's not what happens in terms of criticism. Compared to any other DC hero, Batman tends to draw out /co/ users who say, "WOW THIS RUN IS THE GREATEST THING SINCE SLICE BREAD!" or "HOLY SHIT HE'S LITERALLY DESTROYING THIS CHARACTER, GET THIS FUCKER OFF THE BOOK NOOOOOOOWWWW!"

It took like 2-3 years and 20+ issues before people could actually explain why they didn't like Snyder's run. Before that, if they didn't like it -- and they're allowed not to like it -- they'd just say "THIS IS WORST THING EVER".

Like I said, you have to ignore what /co/ says. Or, spend so much time reading between the lines that it gets exhausting. King's run is getting the same thing, both positively and negatively.
>>
>>83956709
hahaha, the beatles? Listen, I know you have your head's so far up Tom King's...work that you can't read a sales chart. But King's books have tanked. At this point anything below 98,000 books an issue is under performing.

I dropped Snyder after DotF and could tell you why then and now. I didnt enjoy his run. I do think Morrison's is masterful. It's fandom, people are adamant. It's ok. If you enjoy something well enough, it shouldnt matter, or get exhausting, no matter what other anons have to say about it.

This is a special case in that this is an enormous character who just had two very long runs from two very different creators, so the comparisons are almost inevitable.

Seriously? I didn't like the weak ass first arc: really interesting set up; awesome fucking art; filler issue of "hallucinations"; complete ass-pull ending. Which is typical of Snyder (try reading The Wake sometime).

The second arc had Serial Killer Joker going into a police station and killing the lights ... and then snapping necks.

Because in Gotham apparently none of the cops carry a fucking Maglite OR A CELL PHONE WITH A GOD DAMNED FLASHLIGHT APP!!

I just gave the fuck up.

I thought Morrison's Batman started strong and started to go wobbly at some point in the run. For me the big disappointment was how little he did with a premise - Dick Grayson takes over as Batman - that the comics had been building up to for decades.

I feel like Peter Tomasi's departure as editor hurt the series as it hurt Johns' Green Lantern, but that's just me.
>>
>>83959780
>how little he did with a premise

Interpersonally he did a lot, as in the dynamic being inverted. Happy go lucky Batman and serious violent Robin. Big brother Dick and lonely, poorly adjusted kid brother Damian. Brand new rouges gallery. What he didnt do with the premise was some stunt like "Dick's been an owl this whole time!"

>Throughout the next year you're going to see each of the villains sort of redefined and modernized and made scarier. We're not really updating their origins or doing anything stupid like that, but we're saying that what made them scary in the 1940's and '50s doesn't necessarily make them scary today. That core that those creators developed still haunts us, and I think we're just trying to drill back into that. Calendar Man seems silly, like a guy who's obsessed with calendars. But there's nothing scarier than a calendar in your life. A calendar is a track of your life moving forward. Your life either ends eventually or goes on forever. Either way, it's frightening. So we're doing that concept with a lot of big characters. You'll see a lot of that play out in Batman and also in All-Star Batman.

this is true for better and worse, Most of New X-Men was atrocious art, Action, Tony Daniels, the second volume of B and R, The DC house style of the opening and closing chapters of Multiversity imo

But then his bullpen of Irving, Stewart, obviously Quitely, Burnham are unrivaled

Didn't like his first issue, but I still have hope since it's Tom King. He seems like a good writer, who can write good stories with cliche plots. Nothing he's writing seem like an out there plot that can blow your mind, but his writing is what elevates it.
But his first issue was not bad, but disappointing, which didn't get the pacing and Batman's voice right.

It's still out of character if we compare it to post 90s Batman. I didn't say him having emotions was out of character, but the way King depicted it didn't fit.

io9 had a pretty nice nterview with King today.

I had no problem with it. It fit the moment.

Story was nice. Looked way better than I was expecting. Bellaire is amazing

Apparently this Batman arc is going to be set like an action movie.
>With Batman, I really wanted to write a superhero action movie. There will be deep scenes. I can’t get that stuff out of my head. But my real intention is to thrill the reader. To take them out of their everyday and be like “holy shit, I can’t believe that just happened.”

It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out.

>DC asks him to pitch Omega Men
>King pitches Guardians of the Galaxy
>DC tells him to write something cool from his CIA experience
For all the faults of DCYou at least editorial was pushing for cool and interesting comics.

Killed my buzz a little, since most of my favourite Batman runs have been ones which don't strictly adhere to being a superhero comic and ones with off beat tones. I thought it would be more like Vision or Omega men rather than Grayson(which was still great, but definitely the weakest of his works)
>>
>>83964753
I disagree, I find the Future's End issue better than any of his Vision issues.
>>
>>83964753
The first issue itself was obvious enough. He's writing a book that Batman readers will enjoy rather than a book that will do anything for people just looking for something interesting to read.

I mostly just hope he has another ongoing in the works rather than it just being this.

Brubaker's run was meh.

>>83966066

Was it? They're reprinting it in omnibus collections and I was thinking of checking it out because I like Gotham Central and Sleeper
>>
>>83966520
yes
>>
>>83966520
It's not bad, but it's not as good as his Gotham Central or Catwoman, and there are better Batman runs to check out.

What exactly is wrong with this? Sounds like King is using the same logic that gave us pic related
>>
>>83964753

Yea I'm a little disappointed that King's big idea for Batman is to put all of the stuff that make King great on the back burner and write him like everyone else.
>>
>>83967383
I wish King had more solid titles under his belt before doing Batman. No one wrote a GOAT Batman run as their fourth book and if he did it instead a few years from now he would have the pull to fully bring his writing style to Batman. As it is he's pretty much Snyder's lackey and while I'm excited to see how the first arc turns out and for more casuals to get an appreciation for him I wish his Batman debut could have been a few years down the line when he had more pull in the company.
>>
>>83968553

I agree with you in theory but King is an older dude with a whole prior career and a good deal of writing under his belt. Babylon, Omega Men and Vision don't really seem like early career books.
>>
>>83963231
>best new writers

Eww
>>
>>83967096
It's the same thing Snyder gets called out for.
>>
>>83959608

It makes me sad that people who read comics can reduce Morrison to points like these. Well, congrats. Readers like you are the reason that mainstream comics are filled with the same hacks writing the same comics over and over.

Thanks buddy.

>Nrama: Speaking of villains, Batman: Rebirth #1’s Calendar Man was actually portrayed here as a legitimate threat. Do you have other villain reimagining in mind?

>King: Yeah, I do. The first year of Batman will a trilogy of three arcs kind of like Star Wars. You’ll get three trades that composite one story, but each is self-contained. In the way it works is that we’ll switch up artists, too. So the first arc will be David Finch, the modern master, then Mikel Janin, my old brother from Grayson and who draws the most beautiful people in comics will take the second, and then Finch returns for the third.
>Throughout the whole thing there will be one big bad and he’s an old Batvillain. We’re reimagining him in a whole new cool and creepy way. Similar to how we did Calendar Man, and throughout the thing... I mean, I just wrote Kite-Man into an issue so yeah, we’re going deep.
