I love how erratic Bruce's thoughts have become. He's been down here for days slowly losing his mind and it shows.

They're just a list of Gotham's influential families. That families that literally "built" this fine city, which is why the court saw fit to etch them in stone.

There are so many ways you can take this scene. Personally, I think Bruce is still reeling from his previous ordeal and needed something to hit. That or he needed that tooth removed from Dick's mouth ASAP and didn't feel like waiting around.

>>87827838
The first time I read this, I was amazed that:

>He was right about Dick having a fake tooth
>He managed to break exactly the fake one, and not any of the ones at the side.
>Said tooth haven't fallen in any of the previous fights Dick had so far.

I have an irrational hatred of Harper. I don't really hate her, more so what she represents.

>>87828167

>>87828177
The idea that that this is what a "modern" Batman sidekick should be like. She's written in a way that we are supposed to find her likable (or at least I got that feeling). Also her character pushes the idea that "Robin" is outdated which is why they gave her the stupid code name Bluebird. She isn't overly awful, she just doesn't stick out and doesn't contribute.
>This could be completely off base and maybe I just need to read more Harper...

The problems that I have with Harper are similar to the problems I have with Duke only to a lesser extent. Tying his history to Year Zero does a lot towards legitimizing the character.

I would personally add issue #24 to that list.

>>87828412
I felt the same way about Tim to be honest.

Duke is already one of the best sidekicks Batman's ever had, I love that he's not some fucking super genius, just a smart city kid.

>>87828838
I felt that way about Tim until I read his portrayal in some of the later issues of his Robin series and all of Red Robin.

>>87828412
>>87828838
Duke wasn't nearly as forced as "Fan-Favorite" Harper Row was. The Tim Drake route of slowly building up his involvement between All-Star and the main book works well by me.
We Are Robin did a lot in making me accept him too, and the costume didn't hurt either.
>>87828754
I'd add the last issue of Endgame in there, myself. I still am amazed that level of violence was allowed.

>>87828905
You just listed a lot of the reasons Duke is getting better in my eyes. And I was surprised by the level of violence displayed in Endgame as well. Having a fucking axe embedded in someone's chest is not something I would ahve expected to see in a DC comic.

>>87827838
I mean, having someone scream in your hear while you are still recovering from days of hallucinogen trips must be hard and Bruce did look tired and emaciated with his unkept beard and those tired eyes

>>87828939
I hate Bat crossovers so much. It's always the same shit.

>[things] are rampaging through the city!
>everyone scramble and keep people safe!
>cue tie-ins to every Batfamily member fighting a bunch of [things]
>Batman has big fight with [thing] boss
>all [things] deactivate
>How did we make it through this, the Bat family will never be the same!

I really like Snyder's run and King's run so far, but City of Owls, Death of the Family, Eternal, Robin War and Night of the Monster Men are all just so fucking boring they put me to sleep. Endgame was mostly the same way but was at least saved by the main book with Batman and Joker being really fucking good.

>>87829324
This is the same as the Hellbat from Tomasi's B&R, right? Such a fucking cool thing.

I think Hellbat is an entirely different model. WIth Hellbat being even more bad ass. Which is different from the Fenrir armor.

>>87827906
This exact page is the moment this story goes to shit. I'm interested to see if with all of Snyder's New 52 stuff, if you can pinpoint the moment the buildup falls apart.

Right here the Court who's apparently existed from the shadows for centuries without anyone ever discovering their activities, who pretty much already own all of Gotham through clandestine dealing, decide their master stroke should be to send a shit ton of undead assassins out into the streets to start fighting people willy nilly and reveal that the court is real.

Bruce starts his first of many, many instances in the nu 52 of solving all his problems with big robot suits, (I actually want to follow along in this adventure to see just how many times he resorts to robot suits over any kind of actual ingenuity,) and we get the reveal that the Court's leader is actually Bruce's long lost retarded brother!.... O-Or IS he?!?!? DUN DUN DUUUUUN! No. He's not.

Exactly my biggest problem with it. They just throw away everything that makes the Court interesting as villains to have a big dumb crossover event. I don't know if it's more Snyder's fault or editorial's, but it sucks either way.

Everything involving the Court after this is a complete joke, in the case of Seeley's Nightwing it seems to actually literally be a joke.

And to be fair, the robot suit in this was completely wrecked within pages of its debut.

>>87830436
/co/, like all of 4chan, always hates what's current and loves the thing that came before.

>>87830560
I'd like to think it was editorial, but every event Snyder does after this kind of ends in a bit of a fart too. It's weird, because I like how all his shit starts, I loved his pre-52 stuff, but he just can't seem to come up with compelling conclusions to his own stories.

Am I the only who gets an anime-esque feeling out of this art? Am I the only who dislikes it? Is batman.

Shocked to find out Cloonan was the first female artist on the main bat title.

I wonder if we are gonna get a female writer as the lead bat writer

I'm definitely getting anime influences as well. If I remember correctly I feel like this art is similar to the art found in Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane

Look, this isn't even a competition. Steven Universe is the best cartoon on TV right now and easily the best cartoon ever put on the air.

>but muh Samurai Jack
>but muh Gumball
>but muh South Park

No. This isn't a matter of opinion, SU is objectively better.

Steven Universe excels in pretty much every category it attempts. The action scenes are flawless, the jokes are timeless and the lessons are mature enough for adults while still being accessible to children. The fact that it also has enough anime references to essentially be an introduction to Eastern media is just icing on the cake.

I can safely say that the only people who hate Steven Universe are the people who have never watched it, and that's just pathetic because it's setting the bar for cartoons these days and will go down as the most influential cartoon of all time.

and then she ends up just being a supporting character lol

>>87830560

Every secret society does,that and jobs horribly in comics. The League of Assasins are generic cannon fodder, and the Hand are generic ninjas

>>87831032

No way. The bat group may be more conservative than other parts of DC, though. They hated Jim Lee at first

>>87829486

Hey its Tiger Shark.

>>87831517
>Dat Harper Row in the last panel

Is she having a seizure, is legitimate retarded or something? Fuck, that's a really horrible art.

>>87831593
But we're not expected to believe that the League of Shadows existed in Batgod's own city, running basically everything for hundreds of years without him ever suspecting a thing until they chose to reveal themselves.

This society that managed to keep itself so secret that even Batman didn't know about it throws all those centuries and generations of work in the trash in one night just to send an army of useless ninjas after the Batfamily, so now literally every person in Gotham knows about them.

It's like if Andy Kaufman turned out to really be hiding all these years but blew the whole thing because he felt like going to McDonald's one day.

>>87831871
as if this was the first time it happened anyway
with that logic nothing should ever happen in Gotham anyway

>>87830625
Need more dynamic duo moments like this in current DC. Snyder knows how to write a good Dick.

Snyders run will be fondly remembered by the normie community therefore will become a cornerstone of the Bat Mythology for the rest of time

>Snyders run
Snyder in charge of not ruining comics he's not even on.

Snyder's entire Batman run is edgy, retarded shit.

>>87834341
You know, when Rob Liefeld and Scott Snyder got into that Twitter fight and Rob Liefeld said that Snyder's Batman selling well had absolutely nothing to do with Snyder himself and everything to do with the fact that it's fucking Batman, I thought that was a bit deep.

It's only years later that I realise he was absolutely right.

>>87839540
Just a reminder that Snyder wrote (not even reading into anything, he's outright said it I believe) Joker as being in love with Batman.

>>87831517
I fucking hate Harper and Snyder seems to love her.

>>87831517
Snyder biggest mistakes were creating Harper and Duke. Other than that, his run was actually really good.

>>87839761
