/co/ overhyped the fuck outta King instead of waiting and seeing.
I'm not a fan of Tynion, but i can admit he is doing an ok job on TEC...i just hate how he pretty much started fucking up Batwoman's cast to jam her in now as 'BRUCE COUSIN, BEST COUSIN'...i mean she has her own family, i guess next time we see Beth and Bette they are going to be dead or some shit like that.

RHaTO and Tec are surprisingly good, but I really want another "Oh my god this is amazing" run. The closest I've seen since N52 is Grayson.
>>
>>87607453
Who of you, snyderfags, trying to create this "King is bad" meme? It's better than senseless action from snyder and much better than mostershit. You people just upset it's not as good as Grayson yet.
>>
ALL the Batbooks are suffering in quality.

And every single one of them is sidelining Batman in one way or another. Why?
>>
>>87607972
OP here. I'm definitely not a Snyder fag- the only story of his that I liked in his run was Court of Owls and I don't think anyone is defending rise of the monster men. I'm just disappointed that his run has been kind of mediocre throughout; it had a number of good moments, but they don't come together into a cohesive whole.
>>
>giving the main batbook to a dickfag
>expecting positive things
>>
>>87608001
>King Batman
>Sidelining Batman
By having him fight Superman-tier threats? By having him as the focus of every issue? By not narrating everything he thinks?

The run is mediocre but Batman is front and center every issue.
>>
>Tynion
>putting out a better Batbook than King

No. No he is not. Everyone in 'Tec is written horribly out of character and the writing itself is just grade level.
>>
>>87607453
I get not liking King's Batman, but there's no way anyone prefers Detective and Red Hood unless they're judging them by completely different standards. Those books are unarguably bad, and the worst King's even written is still leagues above them.

This is what different expectations will do. Batman didn't meet very high expectations so people complained, these other two met very low expectations so people said they were happy with them. If you actually do a straight comparison of quality Batman is easily better written than both of these and most of Rebirth, but because it didn't reach the greatness people were expecting it still gets a more negative reception than many others.

>>87607453
King is 100% phoning it in because he thinks your standard Batman reader is too stupid to understand his good output. And he's not wrong

Stick to Sheriff of Babylon if you want the real King comic. His Batman run only exists to make him a bigger name so they'll check out his other books.

The strengh of RHATO is that it is not trying to be anything spectacular. Jason is not fighting against 1836214 new foes (at the same time!! with amazing new gadgets!!).

The conflict is internal, and the team is limited to three individuals that we have had time to connect and care about. We know how they first met. We saw what made them click.

There is action, but to balace it there is also quiet scenes. Jason buys a Superman doll. Bruce smiles.

I read the first two issues of Omega Men and didn't like them very much. Does it get better? I see people raving about Omega Men but it was just dull and kind of stupid.

>>87607453

I don't know about Lobdell, but Tynion's Detective Comics has been a massive fucking failure for me. I'm a huge whore for these characters, and he's completely failing to tickle my balls with a team comic that's all about them.

I can't wait for somebody to Rebirth this shitty Rebirth.

She isn't! She has no fucking fans! If there was a Harper Row solo title, it would sell a thousand copies at best! DC's just decided to force her because, I don't fucking know, Snyder invented her or something.

Well to be fair non linear floatier stories are hard as hell to read monthly. Remember the response from the public Final Crisis got on release?

Vision is pleb bait.

Talking about Snyder's pet characters, it seems that Snyder is planning to introduce another one.

>Interviewer: In All-Star Batman #1, Batman talks about his training program and how it turns you into the hero you’ll become…or the villain. And Duke’s like, you mean Jason. And Batman says no, someone else. To me, that was the single most intriguing thing you’ve introduced into All-Star. Who’s he talking about? Who’s this guy? Is this forthcoming? Are we going to find out who this villain is that Batman trained?

>Snyder: Yes. Basically it’s a story called “The Ally” that I’m working on with Tynion and the other Bat writers that I’m very excited about. So, there is someone that Batman worked with. Not before Dick Grayson in a way that would put a primary Robin before him or anything that would upset continuity in anyway. But it’s someone that Batman knew, that he worked with, that you’ll be surprised when they tie into a dark present

Wasn't this already collected?

Many people (in and outside /co/) are praising Deathstroke as one of the best rebirth books. So, stop blaming the fans for not liking King's run. It's has been mediocre so far and it isn't because fans can't understand King's writing.

I'll admit that Lobdell is finally putting out the enjoyable comic idiots/liars insisted he was doing the last five years, but Tec?

Tynion's Tec is wretched.
People give it a pass because Steph and Cass aren't terrible and Clayface trying to be a good guy.
The stories, storytelling, and Batwoman are written horribly.

The only retailer I've seen saying anything like that was one guy from a comic store no one ever heard of talking to bleedingcool, which was right after the Orlando written crossover.

Surprised people here like RHatO. I tried it and it's pretty bad, the dialogue and inner monologues seem way too amateurish for someone who's been writing comics as long as Lobdell.
>>
>>87611064
Strange arc wasn't written by King?

And what did king explore in Gotham arc? And the first two issues of the suicide arc were just simply embarrassing and second was full of "look at how cooooool Batman is! He fought thousands of men in his own, fixed his broken back, talk like a robot (so badass) and planning to sacrifice bunch guys for some random girl because apparently she's the only victim of his war that worth saving for some reason!".
>>
>>87611376
The theme in I am Gotham was even with the best intentions fear can drive you to do some of the worst things.

The idea in I Am Suicide is Batman in his hubris fails to see how much harm hes doing cause hes so hellbent on saving Gotham Girl and the question it proposes is even though those people are criminals do they really deserve any less of a chance to be saved? This will come back around in I Am Bane due to Batman breaking Bane and making him turn the venom again. Your reading comprehension skills are severly lacking.

It would have been interesting if King actually explore it well which he unfortunately didn't.

And I'm not going to judge or "assume" what King is planning with "I am Suicide" arc before it finished and King confirming that he is doing action blockbuster isn't giving me any hopes about his run.
>>
>>87611433

Lol no. You're way off.

I Am Suicide is about how he basically killed himself as a boy and decided to become Batman instead of live his life. Bruce is just a mask, the real Bruce is dead.

I Am Gotham was more along the lines of how Gotham City won't let anyone but him be its protector.

This. If any group should like the current Tec, it's specifically Kate fans. The whole comic has been a Kate solo title guest starring Batman (also starring Clayface, with minor appearances from all the other characters).
>>
>>87611938

It's clearly written in the picture that Batman made the choice as a boy to give up his life in order to become Batman. And at the end of issue 10 Selina literally calls Bruce Wayne a "handsome little lie."

Your idea about I Am Gotham being about fear corrupting good and I Am Suicide being about Batman's willingness to sacrifice others is asinine.

No she said the happy family was a lie. Learn to read. King has made a point to show over and over that he is Bruce first.

No she was referring to Bruce specifically, how he tries to hold onto that little boy, even though he's gone forever. There is no life left for Batman beyond the mask. King already made that clear in I Am Gotham, when as soon as he started having thoughts of retirement, Gotham corrupted and broke the two heroes he thought could take over for him.

Bruce and Selina being different is just what keeps them apart, and why they toom tbe directions they did.

Cassandra Cain is replaced with a different character that has the same name but wrong backstory, abilities, uniform, etc.
>>
>>87607453
King was always overrated. You didn't realize it at the time but the only reason you liked Grayson was because of Seeley.
>>
>>87612668
No. just no. King has explicitly shown that Bruce's family is the most important thing to him not Batman. Hes shown this over and over and over.
>>
>>87612721
But Omega Men, Vision, and Sheriff of Babylon are all a lot better than Grayson and the Seeley written Nightwing has been a huge step down without King.

It just doesn't add up anon.

King brought up those ideas, but he never really explored them with any depth. Only just enough so people like you can point and go "look how deep it is!"
>>
>>87612704
>that has the same name but wrong backstory, abilities, uniform, etc.

>wrong backstory
This is the fault of BRE, not 'Tec. Also it's not the same thing as characterization

>abilities
Her abilities are the same; that is unless you're just one of those obnoxious fans who get pissy when she's not the super best at everything

>uniform
Again, not the same as characterization. I agree that the new uniform isn't that good, but to say that it makes her written poorly makes no sense.
>>
>>87607540

It's pretty much Not-Your-Dad's Trinity. That makes it a Bat/Super/WW book.
>>
>>87609765
until DC hires me and let's me write a Cassie led book
>>
>>87607540
The only reason it sells decently is because of the Bat symbol on Jason's chest
>>
>>87607453
Umm, no? Detective Comics is basically BRE all over again but with Tim character-wanking instead of Harper character-wanking. Red Hood and the Outlaws being only mediocre instead of complete garbage doesn't make it worth reading by any means.
>>
>>87611064
B-b-b-but it's only okay when Lobdell does action and explosions, because he has narration boxes that tell me what's happening on the page!
>>
>>87612388
The only reason people like either Detective or Red Hood despite how offensively mediocre they are is because they're the least terrible books that Tim or Jason have had in forever, plus lots of character-wank
>>
>>87620471
>Tim
You mean Batwoman.
>>
>>87620642
>Tim is a genius who hacked through every one of the Colony's systems
>He created a HQ that heals itself
>He's suddenly fucking Steph even though he's barely talked to her in New 52, and pre-52 Tim was a virgin chuck
>He's so special that Oz has to kidnap him

Replace him with Harper, and /co/ would be shitting itself with rage
>>
>>87620694
Apart from the hq, none of that is new to the character at all, and he's not even the focus of the book (or in it at this point).
>>
>>87620722
But the first arc was propped up for being "the greatest Tim story ever" despite him having the personality of cardboard
>>
>>87620755
That's nice, but that's not what happened in the book, which told a somewhat tedious Batwoman story. Even the science stuff is more a product of him throwing money around than being a science wizard like fan favorite Harper Row.

Stay classy San Diego
>>
>>87620788
Him being a science wizard is his only trait. Everything "smart" that he does is told, not shown. He talks about hacking the Colony's drones. He talks about how he has all these contingency plans. He talks about how he created a self-healing HQ.
>>
>>87609414
Omega men is great. It takes its time but it's so worth it.
>>
>>87607453
>Arguably

It's way too easy to seduce /co/ with some generic feels pages.

>>87621354
>It's way too easy to seduce /co/ with some generic feels pages.

King's Batman has "generic feels pages" too.
>>
>>87621354
see: Tomasi
>>
>>87608379

Clayface is entirely generic addition. None of the characters really have strong voices in the book, occasionally someone gets a "look ma, I'm cool" page and that's it.

King fans are extremely cringe worthy and I'm enjoying seeing them got BTFO's in every turn.

King's run isn't bad, it's just mediocre and try hard. Though, I still have hope for it.

And I don't agree with you op that Tec is better, but RHATO is definitely one of Rebirth's MVPs.
>>
>>87607551
Tynion's Tec is honestly impressive. Current arc is meh but the previous two were surprisingly good

>>87610121
I don't know man. I hate Harper as much as I hate Steph. Cass is the only good one
>>
>>87621102
It's embarrassing you've spent as much time as you have trying to shit on Tim without actually managing to have a point
>>
>>87623121
Not that guy you're replying to but I kinda get his point.

Tim is all about how great of a detective he was, right? But they only show his worth just by doing something like,
He says he hacks colony's drones.
He had all these contingency plans without explaining nor did it ever put to use.

Just like your usual genius guy.

Just clearing what that anon said, I didn't take side on anyone here.
>>
>>87621522
>but RHATO is definitely one of Rebirth's MVPs.

>people actually believe this.

top lol

Tec is the best Bat book if not the best cape book on the stands right now. King's Batman sucks balls. It's as shit as Snyder's run.
>>
>>87607483
Kids, man.

While I agree, the last Batman issue was great.

>Her abilities are the same

No they're not. Not even on the same map page.

Even if we disregard the issue of sheer power (which we shouldn't), they haven't used or demonstrated or referenced her body-reading a single time in Nu52. That's fucking absurd. Her whole existence is built around that, it's even the reason she's not a villain.

Not him, but they do reference her reading opponents in Batman and Robin Eternal.
>>
>>87620430
Is it selling decently? I'm sure its sells are only going to continue to drop as the book continues along.
>>
>>87624877

That whole page is a fine example of why Nu52 treatment of Cassandra is total insulting fucking shit.

>within literally three issues of her GLORIOUS COMEBACK she's jobbing to a guy who wouldn't have been able to touch her in real continuity
>with Beechen grade "I'll just fight without thinking!" bullshit that explicitly doesn't work on her

Just fucking kill yourselves, DC. Just fucking die.
>>
>>87624801
>>87624877
this, they referenced it multiple times

they even had Orphan explain that he didn't teach her to talk because he wanted body movement to be her language and ability to read it as to prove his theory
there was also the scene at the ballet in Prague where she was amazed because she was reading their body movements in a way only she could
>>

Every triggered Cassfag give century of life to Lee.

>>

she wasn't fighting back and was just testing his abilities

literally toying with Jason
>>
>>87624954
This was the future you chose when you wanted her back, man.

>inb4 but not like this!

As if you had a choice in the matter.
