Now that we know more/less what each volume contains, which one was your favorite?

1st
>Batman and Son, Batman R.I.P., Final Crisis

2nd
>Batman and Robin, Time and the Batman, Return of Bruce Wayne

3rd
>Batman Incorporated Deluxe Edition; Volumes 1, 2

Also is it weird that I'm finding All-Star Batman to be one the best current Batman ongoing?

>>87638392
>DickBats
>BatSteph
>old Red Robin

:(

>>87638430
Well these storytimes have been my first time reading them but so far I enjoyed the final crisis stuff more than I thought I would considering I usually hate big events and while I enjoyed the adventures of Dick and Damien I really liked the whole Return of Bruce Wayne story arcthe most.

So I guess volume 2 was by far the best unless this one ends up being really good

Don't fucking remind me. New52 Batman is a step into a completely different direction that Morrison was going. I'm actually going to do Snyder's Batman run after I finish this to see how they compliment each other.

>>87638430
Volume 2 for sure, B&R was da best

>>87638532

Fuck you, DC.

This one may end up being really good. All of the volumes have their own distinct tone/theme that makes them entirely their own.

>trying to set a brand up.
>Implying he's not already killing it

>>87638953
He's doing a great job. The trick now will be consistency within the theme and brand. I like the idea of the chain of killings linking to your next victim, but you're going to need to find some way to be subtle about the themes while still having variety with it, which has me nervous about this up and coming super villain and whether he's going to be an also-ran.

Gotta give him props for the bomb on the disabled kids bus though, you do that properly and you score some major cred.

>>87638999
>Those trips
Also, why do I feel like Selina did that intentionally? Because there's no way she didn't do any research on her target jewels like that.

>>87639070
I feel like primary sources about Atlantean jewelry would be scarce

Honest Question, how do ALL the Batman movies rank in your eyes?

>Batgod Tier
Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders
The Dark Knight Returns
The Dark Knight
Batman v. Superman ULtimate Edition (I think this movie fixed all my major complaints with the theatrical version).

>High Tier
Under the Red Hood
Batman 1989
Batman Forever (rewatched and I loved it).
Batman Begins (absoutely stellar origin tale for Batman).

>Mid Tier
Batman: Assualt on Arkham (great movie, Good Batman movie).
Batman Returns (could be higher but it depends on my mood. Surprisingly this is my sisters favorite movie.)
Batman v. Robin/Batman Bad Blood (these are enjoyable for what they are).

>Low Tier
The Killing Joke
Batman & Son
The Dark Knight Rises (poor pacing and cliched writing hurts this movie).

>Hard to Place Tier
Gotham Knight (some parts were great, others were meh).
Batman and Robin (it's a poor movie, but a great modern take of the 1966 Batman TV show).
Batman Year One (varies based on whether it's judged as a Batman story, Jim Gordon story, or as an adaption of the comic. All that said I really enjoy Year One).
Batman: The Movie (Adam West)

If I left one out let me know.

The Dark Knight Returns adaptation loses points from me because they cut out Bruce's internal monologue.

I am so fucking sorry. I completely spaced on that and you can be agitated with me. That will be my project for tomorrow.

The idea of "batman incorporated" always seemed dumb to me. If you want to train and organize other heroes that's fine, but let them have their own identities, don't make them all batman.

Not really. I prefer King's, but none of them are great imo.

>>87638505
>to see how they compliment each other.
Spoiler alert: they don't

Morrison's run was a love letter to all of Batman's history and development.
Snyder went in the opposite direction and completely rewrote history, removed Batman's characterisation, and went out of his way to leave his mark. I know it's partly the nu52 to blame, but I didn't get on with it at all.

Easily one of the best pages I've ever seen. Two Batman, a Robin and James Gordon all working towards the same goal. Also I know that Morrison didn't plan for this, but this is a great bit of foreshadowing for what's to eventually come in Snyder's Run.

Meant to say contrast each other lol. I know that Snyder's take and Morrison's take are night and day.I have all of the graphic novels from the Court of Owls all the way to Bloom.

Also I'm willing to do what a previous anon started and failed and storytime the complete Frank Miller Bat Man Saga. I can start with Year One, continued with All-Star Batman and Robin, then the Spawn tie in, then Last Crusade, and then the Dark Knight Saga.

And if someone knows the complete run of Paul Dini on Batman I could start collecting that.

And thus concludes this thread. I hope those who are still up had a fun ride and those who come tomorrow get to experience this with a whole new set of posters. Also I've decided to do both Snyder's and Miller's Batman after wrapping this up. Which would you prefer come first?

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice threads tends to generate some very polarizing discussions with equal points in both camps. And I also realized I forgot another movie, Suicide Squad.

>Batgod Tier
Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders
The Dark Knight Returns
The Dark Knight
Batman v. Superman ULtimate Edition (I think this movie fixed all my major complaints with the theatrical version).
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm

>High Tier
Under the Red Hood
Batman 1989
Batman Forever.
Batman Beyond; Return of the Joker (It's satisfying to see a "definitive" end for the DCAU Joker. Also the Terry/Joker dynamic was a treat to witness. Entirely unlike Bruce/Joker).
Batman Begins (absoutely stellar origin tale for Batman).

>Mid Tier
Batman: Assault on Arkham (great movie, Good Batman movie).
Batman Returns
Batman v. Robin/Batman Bad Blood (inoffensive)

>Low Tier
The Killing Joke (Wasted Potential)
Batman & Son
The Dark Knight Rises (cliched writing and poor pacing).

>Hard to Place Tier
Gotham Knight.
Batman and Robin (it's a poor movie, but a great modern take of the 1966 Batman TV show).
Batman Year One (varies based on whether it's judged as a Batman story, Jim Gordon story, or as an adaption of the comic. All that said I really enjoy Year One).
Batman: The Movie (Adam West)
Suicide Squad (Movie is middle of the road. Batman's portrayal is fucking ace. Bet the extended edition bumps this up to high tier).

Also ranking Arkham Stories.

1. Arkham Origins (definitely not everyone's go to choice but I loved every moment of this).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAkZskncJpQ&list=PLMB_lYcuWDU3laxwl7-ZN1WQ0ZYB4tjVx
2. Arkham Asylum/City (these two go hand in hand as one sequential story).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVIuIIVVbIs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfjgVu6zKT8
3. Arkham Knight (a game sequel that gets a lot of things right and a lot of things wrong).

For fuck's sake.

Is there any chance of a storytime of Whatever Happened To The Cape Crusader? I know it's not Morrison but it's pretty much a follow up of Final Crisis/Batman R.I.P, and it's only two issues.

>>87640082
Okay, this page creeped me out.

>>87639884
i absolutely loved this issue and how it showed a new way to frame Oracle's involvement in Batman Inc. we could have gotten a series of Oracle fighting cybercrime this way, similar to Non-Player (has that comic concluded yet?). there were so many concepts to follow through and DC basically went another route.
