War of Jokes and Riddles

After a year of a pretty average book overall I'm not gonna hold my breath.

INB4 "your a Snyderfag who just doesn't get Batman", he wasn't good either.

>>93333740
King needs to do more street level Detective stories if his Batman #23 is anything to go by. He should cut down on his high octane action hero plots and replace them with street level pulp along with the overarching plot he's going for.

> [...] needs to do more street level Detective stories

Isn't this what /co/ says of every non-Morrison bat writer?

>>93333950
I'll take an average book instead of more Snyder.

>>93334059
Yes, and they're right. Only Snyder, King and Tynion seem to be the Bat writers who keep on writing these action block busters.

>>93334152
As much as I agree with you, I feel like that's actually what most readers want. Just look at how easily much of /co/ eats up the hype for any big event

>>93334059
Why do people bracket an ellipses?

Also, I don't know if it's what they say of every non-morrison writer but the ones since him are th only ones we can bitch about while they're writing.

Would it be so hard for snyder or king to go a year without "THIS IS GOING TO FUCKING KILL BATMAN, THE ROBINS, ALFRED AND EVERYONE".

Just have batman want to save some girl from sex slavery or a mob boyfriend or something. 6 issues, bats v mob, bats v guns, bats punching a sentient solomon grundy up for being a mod bruiser.

Theres so much to do and yet they always fall back on "LETS MAKE IT WORLD ENDING BUT WITHOUT THE JUSTICE LEAGUE".

Superman is 10 miles away across a river. He can literally see everything happening in Gotham. Just help one in a while and tell bruce to grow up.

>Why do people bracket an ellipses?

It denotes a skipped section of text

>>93334774
If Gotham isn't about to explode, then what's the point?

>>93333740
>Civil war: villains edition
>Good

I admire your optimism

>>93335360
No, that's what an ellipses does.

Putting it in a brackets is unnecessary.

>>93336064
From the MLA guidelines:

>Place square brackets around ellipses dots to show omission of words or phrases in a quotation

>>93333950
>King's Batman isn't good
>Snyder's Batman isn't good
>Batman isn't good
>Fiction isn't good
>Existence isn't good

Why are you here?

Let me guess what's going to happen: Some dumb conflict is going to arise
Joker and Green Joker (because that's what Riddler is these days) are going to try and have a civil war event.
Most villains are not going to care and no one important will die since this is a prequel.
At the end, Green Joker loses because Joker is going to Mary Sue his way to victory.
And Batman has to stop them both and prevent everyone from offing the Joker so he can send his boyfriend back to prison.

There, that's the event in a nutshell.
You don't need to buy this.

From the 4chan guidelines:

>Just fucking greentext the bit you care about and ignore the rest

>>93334059
It's almost like that's how the character works best or something, huh?

Except when Mignola writes him, I'll never stop loving lovecraftian horror Batman

>>93336931
He also ignored the MLA rule about not needing an ellipsis at the beginning of a quoted section.

>>93336847
>If you don't like these two runs on Batman you must hate the character

Did you start reading in the new 52 or something?

>>93336915
it's almost like you dont read comics or something

>>93333740
There is no follow-up to the wedding proposal. You see Bruce and Catwoman in bed on the last page (having fucked apparently) and he wants to talk about his past or something.

>>93337205
This takes place before the proposal, in the first couple years of Bruce's career.

>>93337037
I used the ellipses to imply that any author could take its place

>>93337123
No, I started reading with OP's thumbnail.

>>93336931
>>93337037
I'm pretty sure he was just referencing MLA to point out that the brackets around an ellipsis does in fact denote omitted text, not to imply that 4chan posting should follow MLA formatting...

>>93333973
I need those action hero plots cut

>>93333740
maybe if it didn't have Janin on art

>>93337479
I'm pretty sure those same guidelines say that you don't put an ellipsis at beginning of a quote, regardless of bracketing.

>>93337779
Lol, I love that if you happen to see IGN's comment sections the faggots are fellating the art.

>>93337228
This. I think they might have gone on record saying it was year two-ish.
