Gotham could have been in state where it was legal at that time. If you assumed 2011, there were states in the North East corridor where gay marriage was legal - I think since about 2004?

Think Gotham is essentially where Jersey or Delware is, so those no, but it's not the problem you're suggesting it is. If you think Gotham=Manhattan (versus Metropolis=Manhattan) then, no, because NY didn't make it legal till after 2011, I believe, but otherwise you're just splitting hairs.

The Victim Syndicate has great designs, but they're such an attention-whore idea. Like, why blame BATMAN? It's not like he actually created the supervillains or whatever. A group of insane vigilantes looking to take revenge upon their 'creators' makes sense - How many people want to kill the shit out of the Joker? - but blaming Batman for it seems really irresponsible.

I mean, if Poison Ivy mutated me, I would be a vicious misogynist and ecological destroyer, and I would call myself 'Blight' or something. I would be like "I'm going to rape and kill that bitch, then I'll burn her forest down with her in."

If you got fucked up by Joker toxin, you would naturally stalk the Joker so you can show him that a joke isn't quite so funny when you're on the receiving end. Call yourself 'Mr. Rictus' or something.

But why blame BATMAN? What did he ever do to you? The only thing you could blame him for is "Why didn't you kill the Joker when you had a chance?"
>>
>>87883389
There are two Azrael, the one from Morrison's run and the one from B&RE
>>
>>87883330
It's almost like gay marriage can be a state issue while dadt was federal. Retard

>>
>>87883440
That's only canon in broad strokes. Knightfall/Knightquest/Knightsend never even happened in the New 52.
>>
>>87883464

It's really a great concept. If you got burned by Firefly, you could dress up in a fireman's outfit and call yourself 'Enfer' - Fighting fire with fire, basically. And you would make it your life's goal to ensure that everything Firefly wanted to do would go up in flames.
>>
>>87882236
Reminding me Barbara got BLACKED. Was it ever explained why they broke up? She just went to China and it was just done.
>>
>>87883592
Every arc has to be about Barbara's latest boyfriend; that's how they're targeting the female demographic. The next one has her dating penguin's son.

>people getting upset that Steph is lashing out

Good forbid a teenage girl become emotional when her boyfriend was killed like 2 weeks ago and is being manipulated into shifting the blame.

Why is she such a bItch?

>>87883697
That relationship was so forced
>>
>>87882955

he suddenly moved forward and sat down, the Cape was muttering from his standing position.
>>
>>87883697
The relationship came out of nowhere because Tynion doesn't bother himself to take his time in developing his story properly.

So, you can't really blame us for not caring and finding Stephanie really bitchy and annoying.
>>
>>87883697
>2 weeks ago
It's been months.
>>
>>87883592

She only fucked him because she wanted someone who knew economics and tech to basically do everything in her stater-up company. So she seduced Luke, spread her legs to be creampied by him and once he was OK in being her little pet, she told him she needed time and went to her sex tour throughout Asia.

I wish i was kidding, but i'm not.

Are you fucking kidding me? She was an even bigger bitch.

Remember War Games? Remember Leslie blaming everything on Batman? Remember Steph slapping Batman once he returned from the past to blame him some more about what happened in War Games despite everything being her fault?

>>87883897
Not him, but I have never read anything about her pre-N52. So, she has always been insufferable bitch? God, why would anyone wanted DC to bring her back?

>>
>>87883930

When Batman made her a Robin he fired her right after because of how reckless she was. So in revenge she stole a bunch of plans he had and tried to implement them. Those plans were never supposed to be implemented and created a big mob war in Gotham.

She instead of owning the shit she did blame Batman for everything, because why would he have those plans? Then after being tortured by Black Mask during the mob war, Leslie tried to help Steph fake her death for Batman not to search for her and take her away to Africa in a missionary mission for her protection, but then Steph came back anyway and tried to go back to play a hero in Gotham. That's when Barbara decided to train her as Batgirl, because since she was so adamant on doing that shit she might as well be properly trained.

So when Batman came back from the past and found her alive and still fighting crime he went to confront her. So she slapped him and blamed for everything, because it was all his fault for having those plans laying around in his cave anyway. Then she said she'd keep being Batgirl whether he liked or not.
>>
>>87883897
She wasn't insufferable bitch, she was just really bad at her job. She was cute. And Leslie blaming shows that Leslie was bitch, not Steph. Also Leslie was real bitch there, as you know. Also after slapping Bats she was full "omg what I've done I'm so sorry mod" It was hilarious. This new52 Steph is literally disgusting person who blames Bruce for nothing and talks shit. Pre-nu52 Steph never did such a thing, she respected him as mentor and as a hero.
>>
>>87883968
There are too many bitches here already. We don't need another one.
>>
>>87884021

>she respected him as mentor and as a hero.

She really didn't.
>>
>>87883771
It's been a part of her character for literally decades

>>87883968
We already have to deal with that nagging redheaded bitch and we really don't need another one.
>>
>>87884057
When did she showed or mentioned that?
>>
>>87884083
When people will understand that rebirth is still N52? Many things that happened in Post-Crisis are still not canon.
>>
>>87883875
In the new 52 verse not only did her dad die in front of her but her mom abondoned her and never came back and theb her bf dies. Id be bitchy too desu
>>
>>87883885

Yes, but she hit a growth spirt when she became the Black Bat.

Eat your heart out, Riri Williams. Luke is the true black Iron Man
>>
>>87882219
This Batman struggling with his inner demons and regrets thing is nice and all but Clayface would be a much better person to have deal with this. This arc should have him front and center even in front of Bats.
>>
>>87883209
>>87883759
Ugh. You're just saying that cause she's a girl. Misogynists.

The only good ending for this arc will be, if we'll get Suicide Squad made from Batman's rouges to deal with Victim Syndicate, while Batman does nothing but turn his back on this.
>>
I'm surprised /co/ isn't freaking out at Harper casually revealing her sexuality.

>>87886277
There was already a thread about it when Tynion teased it.
>>
>>87886277
1) No one cares about Harper.
2) Harper isn't a legacy character who didn't show interest in same sex romance before.
3) It was mentioned in appropriate way.

>>87884007
Context, anon. Bruce never liked Steph as Spoiler, agreed to train her as a favor for Tim, fired her from being Robin for something all the Robins had done at some point almost immediately, and made a veiled threat to her if she returned to being Spoiler. Afterwards Steph was able to break into the Batcave, access Batman's secret contingency plans, pull one of them off flawlessly despite somehow not realizing the linchpin of the whole thing was a fictional persona of Batman, and doing all this without Batman noticing until it all went pear-shaped when Matches Malone didn't turn up. And the thing is the plan worked perfectly despite being enacted by someone who didn't know what they were doing. War Games is an infuriating story that makes little sense and fails in its job to justify Steph's death by making her look irresponsible and impulsive because it actually makes Batman look irresponsible, irrational, unobservant, incompetent, and selfish. The fact that his doomsday contingency plan immediately brought organized crime to heel as opposed to his cape and cowl antics means they might as well have had Batman hold up a sign saying "My war on crime is entirely about my own emotional catharsis rather than any form of altruism or ethics" and it makes Batman's actions and positions during Under the Red Hood completely hypocritical as Jason was basically doing the same thing.

tl;dr: War Games is a shitty story that was shat out to fulfill a hateboner for sidekicks and legacies and an editorial decree that Batman should be some asshole loner character that lasted until Infinite Crisis. Let that sink in for a moment, Geoff Johns was responsible for making Batman less of an asshole.
>>
>>87887050
What? She just showed concern for her friend here.
Steph was more insufferable bitch in this issue anyway.
>>
>>87887003
If you've been fighting a multi-years long crusade against all these people and they're still managing to do all this shit on a regular basis you might as well hand out clam chowder downtown and save your self a few million dollars a year for all the good it's doing.

It's really just symptomatic of multiple titles in the same location and writers trying to one up each other.
>>
>>87882200
batman is about to take a dump.

>>87887050
Harper is legitimately better than Steph at this point.

To all the people saying steph us a bitch you do realize she has valid reasons for being a bitch right? I mean her best friend is harper and if that wasnt enough her dad tried to kill her her mom betrayed and abondoned her her dad died and then her boyfriend "died"

>>
>>87889130
Yeah, only Batman is the certified asshole of the family everyone else has "excuses" or some other meme reason
>>
>>87889644
Because everyone he's an asshole to usually have the same background as him, if not worse, and managed to be consistently more pleasant and well-adjusted people.

Barry Allen watched his mother get killed, had everyone ignore his truthful testimony and put his dad in prison for the crime, had a time travelling supervillain regularly tampering with his life to make it as shitty as possible, developed a singular obsession with righting a wrong done, and still managed to be a likable, well-adjusted, successful adult who can balance a law enforcement career, superhero career, social life, and love life. What's Batman's excuse?
>>
>>87889922
So well adjusted he almost destroyed the universe by going back in time
>>
>>87887263
>>87887883
No. Steph is still continuing the crusade. Harper is not only a quitter but actively trying to get members of Batman's team to quit. Shes a selfish dumb cunt thinking her or their lives mean more than his crusade.
>>
>>87889977
He just wanted to save his mother. It's not like he could have known that Geoff Johns had re-written the DCU so that if Barry's mom lives, the entire plant will literally blow up.

That she did. But that isn't wrong.

Yes it is wrong. They all mean nothing. Batman's crusade is all that matters. Their lives are insignificant in comparison and to think otherwise is selfish.

>foil a time travelling villain's scheme
>events that logically shouldn't have happened because of your actions retroactively happen

By that logical Batman is an asshole for not letting the Joker kill people because if they're alive they're a drain on Gotham's social services.

Routinely pressures his compatriots into acquiescing with his demands and is mostly unable to interact with them as voluntary participants or equals.

It helps having literal God-tier superpowers. Also Barry didn't witness his mother's death, and his characterization was set in stone before the "dead mother" origin even became a thing.

Also Bruce was incredibly sheltered and introverted as a kid, him practically being Gotham royalty seperated him from everyone else so his parents were really all he had. Not to mention Barry became a superhero through sheer chance, while Bruce had to forge humself into one through years of hard work and a lot of pain.

Comparing the two like that makes me believe you're just a dumb fuck.

did anyone read the batwing ongoing? it was seriously the lowest selling bat-title going under 15k for a long time.
>>
>>87883897
>hating on the batman slapping moment
that was one of the best parts of the whole Bruce Wayne Returns arc they did across all the batbooks.

also she slapped him because he literally put her through this big test while keeping his identity secret, like he did to everyone else. he was kinda being a dick throughout that whole arc to all his sidekicks.
>>
>>87897734
wait this Batwing had an ongoing too?
>>
>>87897791
I don't see the problem with testing people.
>>
>>87897794
there was one book, but it had two different Batwings. the first was David Zavimbe, the Africa Batman from Morrison's Batman Incorporated. He got replaced about 18 issues in by Luke Fox, who has been in the role ever since.
>>
>>87897794
Yeah, he becomes the main character in Batwing #20, replacing David.
>>
>>87897855
it's in character for him, but still a highly dickish move when he just came back from being dead for what was at least a solid year in continuity.

Reminder that Stephanie is a piece of shit who still blames Bruce for what she did, and not only got away with it but ended up having everyone love her (EVEN BRUCE) for no discernible reason and even got to become Batgirl.
>>
>>87882422
>bad guys target the rich/elite
Most of Batman's villains aren't so discriminating.
>>
>>87884021

Stephanie blamed her stealing the plans and enacting the gang-war and getting all those people + Orpheus killed all on Bruce. She forced her way into the bat-family despite being told countless times to fuck off, and by doing so she causes Robin and Batman to have to save her ass multiple times, putting other people in danger (she never gave a fuck though). She became Robin in one of the most OoC moments Batman has ever had in order to prop her up.

Then she got to become Batgirl for some reason, I guess Cass fans weren't sending DC HQ as many angry letters as Steph fans, and became a bad-ass who could take out groups of thugs with ease all the while wise-cracking, which makes you wonder why Batman and his other allies spent so many years training when all you had to do was be a ditzy girl with maybe a week of training in order to fight crime.

Christ! Glad I skipped War Games. Was it really that long ago? Pre-IC?

What's up with that? Is she even the same Cass as Pre-Nu52? I didn't read B&R Eternal.
>>
>>87904103

Yet she and Clayface are the best parts of this ongoing. At the very least I'm looking forward to Takara returning to draw her for the opening issue of her arc.
>>
>>87887243

The plan didn't work though? A lot of innocent people died, not to mention Orpheus, the city was plunged into chaos, and nothing changed afterward except for everyone besides Dick and Selina hating Bruce for some reason.

And how exactly did Infinite Crisis make Batman less of an asshole? Do you not remember him creating a world-dominating AI as well as telling Blue Beetle to fuck off when he desperately needed his help?

Probably because Clayface has real fucking problems and Tynion hasn't figured out a way to make Cass a whining, crying, complaining mess yet. Cassandra just shows up to work like a professional and does her job, though I would love to see Bruce communicating with her directly.

>He still thinks Bruce and Cassandra are characters in this book

I mean really I don't even know why they're even there. Batman is only functioning as an exposition machine and plot motor, and Cass does even less somehow.

It's been pretty much nothing but the Batwoman and Spoiler show since Tim ate it.

Bruce was probably doing surprise party thing together with Dick, Maya, Jon and some other Bat-friends.

To be fair apparently that is a plot point in the intro to Part I of Cassandra's arc starting in February. I'm just hoping given Takara is coming back to draw Cass we get more glorious silent moments with her expressions being all the details we need to know.

If Batman is so great, why does he think one of his sidekicks is dead without seeing a body?
>>
>>87925193
Because it's Tim and he doesn't really care, if Tim was someone he actually cared about he would have gone for the usual "getting more edgy" routine. Instead he is just a little mopey.
>>
>>87925193
He didn't care enough.
It's just a Robin. Whatever.

>>87882325
That's the main man.

Which Superbook has the main man in it? With freaking Mahnke art nonetheless?

Red Robin is below regular Robin. He was just an apprentice for 6 months after he fucked up his family and his own lives up and then he started bossing around the Titans.
