Experienced computer trouble a week or so back tied to the graphics card/video drivers. He had a old graphics card that was "comparable" to the one I had and now I can't play any games past 2006 on this thing. Even source games give me sub 60fps.

Batman Telltale Episode 4 dropped today and I REALLY want to play it so I broke down and purchased the console version.

Also I'm starting episode 1 from scratch so what type of Batman should I be? Right now I'm aiming for snarky/cultured Bruce and a hard ass Batman that while doesn't murder, beats the shit out of criminals.

If anyone can find that one Silver-Age comic with this same concept,, I'll be grateful forever. The one where Batman is wearing a rubber Bruce Wayne mask under his Batman mask that he takes out to convince everyone he's not Bruce Wayne.

We are now about to enter one of the high points of Snyder's Batman run. Zero Year is beautifully drawn and colored in combination of providing a unique spin on the Batman origin story that doesn't try to replace Year One and instead goes for something different. Starting with issue 0 and contiuing until issue 33.

Just outta curiosity, what's everyone's favorite Snyder arc? Top three are...
>Zero Year
>Endgame/Death of Family
>Superheavy/Bloom
I know these are pleb choices but I don't care. I would rate The Black Mirror highest but it's a set of Dick stories which I consider separate from Bruce.

>>87874160
Zero Year is my favorite, watching a young more unhinged Bruce mellowing down while becoming something better and gathering allies was great

I would argue that Zero Year has some of the best art ever put to page in comic. I know that it's a bold statement but Capullo manages to establish "Old Gotham" before the arrival of all the supercrooks and the mayhem that follows. This city feels like a Gotham of a byegone era and it will never return to that glory ever again. Gotham is cursed..

Very Mission Impossible, Bruce. I wonder if this was a strategy he was going to implement for the long haul or if this was a strategy he was only using until he found his niche.

While this is a cool sequence, I found the Bat crashing through the window in Year One to be so much more powerful that this scene. Interestingly, Snyder doesn't suggest the bat crashing through the window didn't occur (Court/City of Owls Issue), it just wasn't the focus.

Fun Fact: Bruce has had an "Uncle Philip" since the Silver Age, he first showed up in 1969 in Batman 208. But that was Philip Wayne, Thomas's brother. Snyder changed him into Philip Kane, Martha's brother and reintroduced him here in Zero Year.

I think it's supposed to be an illustration of how Nigma's mind works. The conversation was based on the Egyptian board game he mentioned. Nigma's the only one who knows the rules, but when they get to the end, the game (and the conversation) ends.

And yes I know I'm responding to a 3 hour old post but I just got off work and am reading this now.
