>Kills most of the bat-family.
>Solely focuses on Duke Thomas, constantly makes references to him being better than all the other robins, and Batman's "real son".
>Batman gets back in touch with his jewish heritage.

>>86625938
Who's gay?
>>86626219
Jason Todd
>>86626273And Latino
>>86626273

>>86626335
Did he
>>86628795
Did he what?
>>86628822
Died
>>86628836
Did who die?
>>86628836
Like, he ceased to live?
I don't really read marvel
Does Bendis really write dialogue like that
>>86628954
Yes posting this single issue as a example
>>86629058
>he asked for you
>The guy inside? He asked for me?

>Finch?
>Finch
Jesus christ
Yeah
is powers still ongoing?
I actually really liked it but got tired of waiting for new issues
Yeah next page
>>86629167
It relaunch in 2015. next issue October 19 2016
>>86629039
Damn, this is a nightmare. How can someone pay this guy to write this.
the end
>>86629187
>relaunch
what's that mean?
>>86625325
FUCKING KEK
>>86629259Restarted
>>86629276
god I'm so angry
>>86628849
Todd
>>86629478
Jason Todd?
>>86629500
You mean, like Robin?
>>86625239
>they don't look like an ambiguously gay duo at all.
>We found this at the scene.
>What is that?
>It's a batarang!
>A batarang?
>A batarang!
>It looks like a boomerang...
>Shaped like a bat!
>Batarang...
>I know!
>>86629058
What in the unholy fuck
>>86626019
Well that was dumb and underwhelming.
>>86629748
Bendis.
>>86629058
It's true, it's all true.
I didn't know Marvel readers actually had to put up with this, I thought everyone was just meme-ing. Holy shit.
>>86629748
Bendis,
The writer,
Brian Michael Bendis.
The comicbook writer.
>>86629859
You mean that writer for Marvel?
>>86626273
No, that's too believable. It has to be Dick, the notorious playboy of the family. He never committed to a girl because he likes penis and has been faking straight his entire life.
>>86625919
So Duke
>>86629874
Yeah, the Marvel writer.
>>86629890
Dick?
>>86629859
It doesn't really work if it's posted by just one person.
>>86629920
No thank you.
>>86630014
But...
>>86629058
Ho-lee shit...
What the fuck is this retard thinking? This can't be considered good writing by any standard. It's like he thinks the worst part of anime is the good thing. Don't treat your reader like a moron.
>>86630119
>by any standard
By comic book standards, it can get you a top-selling Spider-Man series, a permanent mark on the Avengers franchise, freedom from editors, and the flexibility to write any ongoing or crossover you please. Or hell, even drop an ongoing when you're bored of it!
>>86625325
lol
>>86625239
>Alfred, get me-
>Hold on.
>Okay.
>Okay, I'm done.
>The jo-
>WHat about the Joker?
>He's out.
>Broke out of Arkham?
>Yes.
>Again?
>Yes.
>Oh dear.
>I need my batmobile ready.
>Which one?
>You know the one.
>You mean the-
>Yes. That one.
Flash goes back in time to bring all the past Robins together to have an intervention on Batman's "unprofessional relationship" with them.

>Panel 1, car pulling up
>Panel 2, guy getting out of car
>"I'm here. What do you need? I was at the movies."
>Panel 3, walking up the stairs
>"The guy inside holding this place asked for you."
>"Yeah? Who's that?
>"Finch".
>"Finch?"
>Panel 4, larger than first three panels
"Hello. I'm Finch."
There, I just made the thing much better. And there'd be room for more panels. 2 or 3, depending on how big panel 4 is.
>>86632110
this is awesome
>>86629058
Holy kek. This isn't edited?
>>86629058
this is fucking unreadable
>>86629134
"Whats a clitoris?"
Why did she ask that? Was that set up earlier in this comics story? Is it an in-joke or running gag?
>>86625286
Haha you nailed it! Best post if the year!
>>86632110
Now that's Bendis dialogue down pat.
>>86629058
Scott Lobdell must have gotten an erection when he saw this much dialogue on one page.
>>86632280
>>86629058
>Panel one: car pulling up
>Panel two: Walker gets out of the car
>Walker
>Captain...
>Panel three: full body of the captain, he has apolagetic body language
>We've been calling
>I was at the movies
>we been calling is all--
>Panel four, wide shot, the characters are looking at the building in the background
>Yeah, well-- what is this? I'm homocide.
>You're a cop and the guy inside wants you
>who? williams?
>no
>Panel 5: just the two cops interacting
>hey walker
>no, I screwed the pooch
>Panel 6: walker falls out against his collegue, wagging his finger at him
>you- you couldn't negotiate supersizing a happy meal, you total piece of
>Come on captain! I--
>Panel 7: walker makes a dismissive hand gesture and turns his back on him, walking further on the stairs with the captain
>I'm going to deal with your incompetent ass later.
>Next page
>Panel 1: they're halfway up the stairs
No, the guy holding the place, he asked for you
>the guy inside?
>Panel 2:
>he asked for me?
>and only you
>he asked for ME? who is it?
>Panel 3:
>some shmuch by the name of-
>uh, of finch
>finch?
>Panel 4: the boss stops walker before walking all the way up to the front door, faces him to hold a conversation more easily
>finch. wears a green thing with a thing on his back
>finch?
>He's got a little girl in there. used to date the mom
>panel 5: close up of the boss' face
>he came over. they got into a domestic
>he threw her out of the second story window and boarded himself up there
>panel 6: close of walkers face
>and the woman? the mom?
>took her down to mercy, she was alert enough to call us
>finch? I don't know a finch.
>Panel 7: another wide shot of the building
>the rest of the converstation
It's good dialogue but it's to crammed. The text boxes drown out the drawings. That much interaction requires that much space.

You get a medal.
A Bendis medal.
>>86635587
Somebody make a Bendis medal.
>>86635626
A medal?
>>86635736
Yea, a medal. You give it as a reward.
>>86635893
A reward, huh?
>>86637113
Thanks
>>86635926
Yes, to congratulate you for your post.
>COMISSIONER GORDON: Batman, we have reports that a homicidal clown named the Joker has taken over-
>BATMAN: What?
>GORDON: What?
>BATMAN: Are you serious?
>GORDON: Yes, he's already killed three people-
>BATMAN: Not about that.
>GORDON: Oh.
>BATMAN: Yeah.
>GORDON: Then what?
>BATMAN: His name.
>GORDON: His name?
>BATMAN: It's kind of...
>GORDON: "It's kind of" what?
>BATMAN: On the nose, don't you think?
>GORDON: I don't follow.
>BATMAN: He's a clown-
>GORDON: OK.
>BATMAN: OK? He's a clown. Named "The Joker."
>GORDON: What are you trying to say?
>BATMAN: Don't you think that's a little... On the nose?
>GORDON: "On the nose?"
>BATMAN: Yeah.
>GORDON: Batman, he's a serial killer. It doesn't matter what his name is. Killer Croc, Poison Ivy-
>BATMAN: Wait a minute, wait a minute.
>GORDON: WHAT?

You gotta keep in mind that back then Bendis' dialogue was seen as being more realistic than traditional comics writing at the time. Nowadays he does it so often with characters who shouldn't be talking like it that it became a cliche.
>>86629894
Duke got his shit pushed in by Damian 2 of the 3 times he talked to him, and the 3rd time was just them going to the movies.
