>For Batman: White Knight, writer-illustrator Sean Murphy (The Wake, Punk Rock Jesus) created a version of Gotham with real, modern-day problems, and then let Batman solve them by making him the villain. How? In the comic mini-series' alternate-reality, it's the Joker—cured of his insanity—who sees that Bruce Wayne is just another part of the city's vicious cycle of crime and sets out to stop him.

>"My main goal was to undo the comic tropes while changing Gotham from a comic book city into a real city—a city dealing with everything from Black Lives Matter to the growing wage gap," Murphy says. "[But] rather than write a comic about the wage gap, I gave those ideas to the Joker, who leads a kind of media war against Gotham's elite by winning people over with his potent observations and rhetoric."

>Despite the fact that their roles are reversed, having heroes and villains who exist as a response to the current political climate is very much on-brand for Batman. For nearly eight decades the Joker and Dark Knight have faced off in the comics and onscreen, and each time, whether they're brooding or cartoonish, they've come to represent the kind of good or bad guys their audience needs. In the 1940s, when the Joker was introduced in Batman #1, the idea of having a masked vigilante face-punching foes seemed like a good way to fight crime. But in the decades since, society has learned that's not always the best course of action. "It's sexy to think crime can be stopped with a fist, but the real solution is a lot more boring than that: education, increasing wages, and building trust," Murphy says. "The line Batman rides between 'noble vigilante' and 'overzealous oppressor' will always be shifting as our own society changes."

But I thought Marvel was the one pushing pointless diversity comics?

This is not a bad idea for a comic. Batman setting himself up as the ultimate authoritarian strawman is kinda brilliant. That said, this is probably going to suck. Hard.
>>93724174

>They're butthurt Superman isn't as popular as Batman.
No the main problem is that Batfags have turned everything into a pissing match between the two, and everywhere I go I see those retards bringing up Injustice. I was talking with a casual friend of mine about Death in the Family, and he was going on about how hypocritical of Supes it was to stop Batman from going after Joker since he killed the Joker in Injustice. I had to explain to the retard that Injustice wasn't canon.

I also hate Batfags who believe comic"""""fact""""" social media accounts and actually use them in discussions like Batman having a magic word that disables magic users from casting spells. Or how Batman is a dark loner who works alone.

Not to derail the thread, I'll give it to you in a nutshell.
Globalization means first world labor is competing with third world labor. It means greater profits for Big companies and an increase in living for third world working class but middle America/Europe is taking it right in the ass.

>>"My main goal was to undo the comic tropes while changing Gotham from a comic book city into a real city—a city dealing with everything from Black Lives Matter to the growing wage gap," Murphy says. "[But] rather than write a comic about the wage gap, I gave those ideas to the Joker, who leads a kind of media war against Gotham's elite by winning people over with his potent observations and rhetoric."

So it's left-wing twitter wish fulfillment?

It will never happen but it should. The worst part is when they reset everything at the end to Batman and Superman cockfighting. The best was when Superman came in and saved Bats from getting dissected and they beat the shit out of Brainiac. WW didn't even get a moment like that, she fucking egged Clark on to kill Bruce. Fuck off Boon.

Eh, it wouldn't be all that terrible to see a Gotham that's actually not just Batman's clown reservation/war zone.

The issue is that these capshit companies pick their writers on grounds of them being absolutely clueless about the simplest shit and then force them to write at their worst, so it's going to be pretty hilarious when they talk about how THE PENGUIN has been defunding SCHOOLS and SERVICES so that the ethnic parts of the city expand, offering him a larger recruitment base for his criminal activities or how white flight created all those abandoned sewer tunnels that crocodile man has been using as his lair...

The hell of it is, this WW doesn't even have a reason to be so evil. Against my better judgment, I kinda want to see an evil Diana done right.

I love the guy's art but a skim through his Twitter a while back painted a picture of your typical right-on aging lefty who still listens to punk rock and complains about problems their life is blessedly divorced from that they have no actual understanding of, nor meaningful insight into.

I've read enough of their products to know their editorial lines and the general level of research allowed under those.

It's zero, approaching the negative. That's an issue that comes up consistently no matter the character or the writer and it's only somewhat softened for the British, which they apparently can't physically harm, so they get away with a lot more than the people working for them inside the US.

>>93726469
The execution can be complex, but the Joker is the worst person for this, unless you're actually trying to write a story where he's cynically trying to use liberal talking points uniquely for the sake of fucking with the Bats.

Joker is the least political character ever, he never takes anything seriously. For how terrible The Dark Knight Rises was, at least the one to call Bruce privileged was Selina, someone who could conceivably have genuine political opinions that aren't part of some greater ploy.

Psycho Pirate
- I always had a story for him in mind. He has the power to make you love him. So he goes to UN general assembly and makes the leaders of the world love him. They organise his takeover of the world, by distributing mindcontrol-videos in the internet and informing of eventual problem. His world rule only gets abolished when Amander Waller organises a special Suicide Squad consisting only of sociopaths. They can't feel love, so Psycho Pirate can't control them.
>>
>>93726761
Then he's not the Joker. It's like writing a story where Luthor is a mentally challenged janitor. There's only so much you can stretch the character before he's unrecognizable.
>>
>>93726836
do you mean BvS luthor
>>
>>93726770
make him rape power girl
>>
>>93726836
This is what elseworlds are for. For turning Batman into a vampire and Superman jizzing into a jar to repopulate humanity. It's so you can stretch these characters like taffy and explore new angles while maybe having some fun.

No it wasn't, Fox said Bruce fixed the autopilot himself. He lied about it for dramatic effect.

Batman was once just an asshole with a cricket bat stuck to his torso. So fuck you and your complete lack of understanding of what Elseworld stories entail.

So this Batman isn't evil, he just thinks punching people is a solution to stopping crime?
>>
>>93727117
That seems to be the premise, yes. Which could be an interesting idea to explore, a Batman who legitimately thinks he's helping stop crime, when all he's doing is perpetuating the cycle, but I don't feel like this'll handle things that delicately.

Tokyo Ghost was Remender you dumbass and it was decent. The message in that is not one being discussed enough. Idk if you are American but the internet has utterly crippled some people socially. For God's sake there is a service called Twitch where you pay to watch someone play a videogame.

the dude is right though, 1 billionaire going around punching people wont solve much, of course bending over for BLM, SJWs, the "wage gap" will help even less. Its a short sighted comic, written by a short sighted person but it can be good(he could grow while writing the damn thing and realizing theres no simple anwser and simple saying "we should better our education, increase wages and build trust" is just retarded if you dont say how you will do it), the art seems like it will be nice.

For fuck sake, there is no wage gap. Why is this lie still believed, it's absurd and retarded.

It's like this guy watched The Lego Batman Movie and the Hillary Clinton-esque Barbara Gordon really spoke to him so he decided to make an entire comic about that instead of using it as a springboard for a wacky adventure featuring Sauron, Voldemort, Daleks, Gremlins, King Kong, and Godzilla like the actual movie did because Batman is a concept for children and "What if Batman were real and had to deal with real issues" is, to paraphrase Alan Moore, for emotionally stunted adults.

>>93727520
I love that casuals can't accept the contradiction there. Either Batman is incompetent and can't beat the JL like casuals think or Batman CAN beat them, so when the fuck are we getting an evil Batman story? It would sell a shitload.

Yeah, who knew that having a skill set that was easily replaced meant you made shit money.
