I know this may be too much, but I've gotten into a habit of storytiming after 7PM for the past week and I've found it to be an enjoyable activity.

If I storytimed something throughout the day would people read or is that time period ultimately not worth the effort? I thought I can storytime Smallville Season 11 during the day and Batman at night. If people promise to read I'd have no problem doing that.

JOCK IS GETTING AN ARC ON ALL STAR! That is seriously the best news I've heard all day. All-Star is easily my favorite ongoing Batman title now. The King Book is good, but I smile like an idiot every time I pick up ALl-Star. Also it's a different Two-Face story from what I'm used to.

I like that the Detective Comics issues were structured with the main story for the first part and the Jr. story as the backup. Made every issue an absolute treat. Black Mirror instead lumps all the Grayson and Jr. stories together.>>87782541

Keep it up, OP.

>>87782431
Agreed

>>87782431

Dick and Babs are a forced couple that was done because of synergy and took tons of retcons to barely work. It easily make both characters worse.

It's easily the thing that most set Dick back.

>>87782203
It was such a huge missed opportunity that Superheavy or even Detective didn't include James Jr at some point.
He showed up for an issue in Eternal, and I don't think he's been seen since.

Could be that Snyder doesn't think he has any more stories to tell with that character. Which is a damn shame because there was a bit where I REALLY wanted more of the character and was briefly satiated by Ales Kot's arc on Suicide Squad.

>>87783798
Maybe Seeley will do something with him on Nightwing (although King would probably write him well otherwise.)

Psycho James Jr. and the Court of Owls are the coolest ideas Snyder has contributed to the bat mythos. Everything else is pretty meh and has been done before by better writers.

I feel like Snyder would rather write Joker as a serial killer than as a nuanced character. This Joker is literally like a virus. His madness transmutable

Joker's speech is so erratic in this series. Makes me wonder what Snyder was trying to achieve with this particular incarnation. He feels like a more derranged/broken version of Morrison's Joker.

Very meta right now Joker. It's almost like he realizes with the New52 is fast approaching and he's "prepping" for the big change. Also the use of the word friend is another clue that this Joker is definitely the one we see in Death of a Family.

Thanks a ton OP

Snyder needs to go back to writing Dick

>>87782838
I think Jocks next and then Murphy.

thanks OP

Niccccce.
Don't forget to include that short story of that guy who was kind of a Talon

>>87788383
Also hopefully OP storytimes Gates of Gotham. I haven't read that one yet but it's definitely Snyder's brainchild.

I hope Seeley tries to rehab James Jr. and Sonia Zucco. Both were great ideas originally, and Simone and Higgins shat the bed with both of them.

>>87784631
>>87784638
Dick can prep-time with the best of them.
This really was the most competent we've ever seen Nightwing.

>>87788531
You couldn't be more right. Here's the order.

Detective Comics
Gates of Gotham
Zero Year -- If We're going Chronologically
Court of Owls
City of Owls
Death of The Family
Batman Eternal
Endgame
Batman and Robin Eternal
Superheavy
Bloom

A bit ambitious but I think we can do it.

>>87790754
Wouldn't technically Zero came before Gates and Detective
Considering that Flashpoint rebooted shit at 5+ years into the n52verse
So zero year would have been alt timeline 4 years before Gates.

Then again that is way too complicated.

>>87792054
You're right lol. I think its best just to separate into PreFlashpoint/PostFlashpoint

Snyder Bats isn't nearly as terrible as everyone makes it out to be.

>>87793410
It's a massive circlejerk. It is repetitive in some ways but still enjoyable nonetheless.
