Shit being the operative word there
>>93858299
We BatIronman now?
>>93858299
Based Azrael. I don't trust the batman team tho,
The time is nw!
>>93858299
The 90s are truly back at DC.
>>93858299
Oh, great. More fanservice rather than a properly told story with a really shitty new version of Jean-paul.
Reminder that Jean Paul got 100 issues put, that's more than half of the robins.
I don't even know what's happening in Tec. So this development means nothing to me. But
>James Tynion IV
That's not a good sign.
>>93858312
>now
Kid, you don't even know where this goes.
Folks think Damien is a nutty Batman
know nothing of Azzbats
>>93858347
Yeah, Tynion is not the right writer for this.
WHAT THE FUCC
KEK
>>93858299
>shit
that's DC alright
Based Tynion.
>>93858299
The redesign on the suit looks dope though, don't lie.
I'm almost even a little salty that Hellbat armor thing showed up because now it looks like this is a remix of that when really Azrael was on that extreme shit way back.
>>93858624
>Hating on AzBats
Sure is underage in here
>>93858303
Stick a penis in your mouth
>>93858307
Looks pretty cool.
Not even as edgy as the suit of super armor Batman got the rest of the league to make him together since he keeps holding them back so much.
>>93858299
I NEED HEALING
>>93858299
Looks awesome.
>>93858347
This. Secret Empire is the mature well told story out there, exposing CIS white males for what they are: Evil Nazis.
K N I F E
F I N G E R SWhile League of Shadows was trash,
I've really enjoyed Inteligence thusfar.
I remember people HATING Azrael back in the day when he was in his prime. What changed?
>>93858341
No they're absolutely not, considering 90's DC is arguably their best decade.
>>93858624
Freakin upvoted! Based Marvelbro!
>>93858299
This whole thing isn't canon to Knightfall-Knightsend anymore, right? But Bane still beat Bruce, right? So that story still makes no sense, right?
>>93858307
RULES OF NATURE
>>93858715
>he dislikes what one comic is doing so he must like what the other is doing!
>>93858949
don't worry about it, continuity never made sense
>>93858299
Now I want to see Az and Cass fight for the title of Strongest.
>>93858949
>But Bane still beat Bruce, right?
Only because Bane was somehow able to deduce Batman's secret identity at a glance and wear down Bruce with a big Arkham escape until he had the flu and then break into Wayne Manor.
>>93858992
It used to make a hell of a lot more sense than it does now.
>>93858872
Ahahhaahhhahhahaha
>>93859023
No it didn't. Look Zero Hour. An entire event just to correct continuity errors, only to make new ones.
>>93859103
A Namefag being retarded as always.
>>93859113
Rebirth is basically a longer Zero Hour.
>>93858872
Because of Vertigo but they're killing Vertigo right now so all you're left with is the crap.
>>93858913
Thanks brother
You excited for D23 and comiccon? We're gonna make DC look like even more of a joke than they already are
>>93858864
That was the whole. Point and Azrael was fairly popular, Jean Paul was never hated. If he had been truly unpopular he wouldn't had get so many fucking toys, Legends of the batman alone had 2 figures, thus is back then when that actually meant something
>>93858341
Hello time traveler from 2011
>>93859249
More like you're retarded. Enjoy your not-dc comics or marvel lite.
>>93859548
0/10
>>93858299
I wonder how Dixon feels about a gay guy writing his third most famous character.
>>93859307
Dude was hated. Hate mail and people wanting Bruce back. The character was mostly written as not as good as Bruce on purpose. And insane.
Only edgelords like azeral.
>>93858299
Puttting Damn in Goddamn Batman
>>93859587
If you actually read DC you'd know the abundance of riches to be found in the 90's. It's really a toss up between that and the previous decade for the best era of superhero comics.
>>93858336
I still have the toy
also, isn't it more likely that DC are being dicks to Quesada?
>>93859602
Tynion is bisexual.
>>93859614
The thing is, marvel was always crap, except X-men, early Spider-Man, Thor and FF. Nowadays all of marvel is crap
So is this just gonna be Azraels new costume or what
Kind of looses some weight since they're not doing some sort of Knightfall retelling
>>93859643
No such thing.
Anyone understands the reference in pic related? Or am I talking to underages here?
>>93859648
Now, just for lolz, imagine how different DC would be, if Batman got the X-Men treatment
>>93858695
>liking the 90s
this generation of batman fans is terrible
>>93859810
The 90s...
When batman had Legends of the dark Knight. The best ongoing any big capeshit character has had? Batman black and white? Batman adventures? . Fuck you dumb casual. 90s were good for barman fans.
>>93858299
And that isn't even the cool Azbats costume
>>93858299
Wait, EXTREME 90's Batman is back or just the suit?

>>93858307
what a retarded looking design
>>93858299
is it written by James Tynion Snore? Cause I'm not reading another Bat-bedtime story by that hack.
>>93859810
Dixon/Moench/Grant had its problems, but I'd take it over Snyder and King easily.
>>93859810
>never read 90s Batman
The majority of his 'best' stories came from that decade.
>>93858299
>Jean Paul goes overboard again
Aw shit nigga, that's my favorite kind of character arc.
>>93859679
Knightfall, yeah?
>>93860786
I've got the issue where he finally gets that costume, what a wild ride.
>>93860860
So Bruce keeps Paul's armor all these years ?

>I hate Azbats
>>93858299
I hope he goes full DEUS VULT.
>>93858299
Azrael becomes Azbats...again?
/HYPE/
>>93861984
Gotham is such a shithole that it'd be fun having a vigilante that looks like Freddy Kruger and Ironman had a lovechild.
I always loved the covers on this run.
>>93858299
What's the problem? The art looks nice, even if the AzzBats costume is inferior to the Azrael costume.
>>93859602
Azrael was Denny's character, not Dixon's.
they should've just given him the new 52 batsuit
it looks like something azbats would wear.
>>93858992
Nah,there was a time where it was a loot more consistent than it was right now. Nowadays it's just like they don't care
>>93859113
You're delusional if you think Zero Hour and Crisis were remotely comparable to the continuity disaster that was New 52 but I didn't expect less from people who don't read comics and look for excuses to defend DiDio
>>93864885
They don't call it the Hawksnarl for nothing. I can't remember if the New 52 made a character's history so toxic that he became practically unusable until someone figured out how to untangle it.
>>93858299
H*ck Yeah, my boi is back!
>>93858299
My God what a time to be alive
>>93865205
Post crisis made shit more confusing for new readers.
Anyways I guess this is az bats first time as batman. They erased his first stint.
I don't care most for most 90s comics unless it's early 90s or alternative worlds.
But rebirth does exist to embrace evry decade so eh whatever.
As long as the crappy darkstars stay gone I'm good.
>>93860786
>>93861778
>>93861900
What a beautiful introduction.
>>93858336
I had that toy, but my dad made me leave it in the car on the hottest day of any summer in human history, and by the time we got back the plastic was ruined.
>>93865205
Back then it was just one character, and now every fucking character is as convulted as Hawkman. What's your point?
>>93858872
>No they're absolutely not, considering 90's DC is arguably their best decade
>>93865205
You're just exaggerating, and DC was exaggerating back then. Morrison wanted to use him in JLA and just ignore the convulted continuity and DC won't let him because reasons.
Post-Crisis had just that, some continuity errors. DC at least TRIED to have a continuity. Post-New 52 the whole continuity became a walking continuity error. It's a whole world of difference, no matter what you keep trying to believe.
>>93866847
i love this suit.
do you guys think it would look better if we give armor-like texture to the black parts? i mean, not changing the color, just the texture.
>>93859103
>>93859272
>>93867033
Spotted the plebs.
>>93858336
I had both Az-Bat toys from that line.
fond fond memories
>>93859262
That's like saying New52 is a better more modern Crisis or Countdown is 52 done right.
>>93859810
>hating on the 90s Bat books
Yes. THIS generation of Batman fans is terrible.
>>93864085
Stelfreeze is fucking based.
>>93867063
Yeah, that could definitely work. I think it'd look a better than the route they took with >>93858307
Maybe... maybe it'll be Azrael's suit possessed by Abattoir's ghost again?
>>93861900
in the azrael comics, bane admitted he could have kicked azbat's ass, but he was hooked to hell with venom, and that make him lose a lot of focus. his mind was set with kicking azbat's ass, and nothing else.
and then he kicked azrael's ass, just to prove his point.
>>93868758
>>93868769
Didn't Azrael kick Bane's ass than later on? Twice? They are on the same strength level I would say, but Azrael has the benefit of being a parahuman.
>>93858949
Actually the story works fine, just pretend Dick filled in instead of Jean Paul.
Wow continuity is so hard.
>>93869150
That means it went directly from Knightfall to Prodigal, skipping/altering KnightQuest and KnightsEnd.
>>93858307
>90's edge is coming back
What a time to be alive
>>93859607
I remember years of "we don't talk about Azrael"
Guess people just like things that are old.
>>93869002
Yes he did. The whole thing of that story was to prove azrael has become someone better than azbat (for starters, that now he's 'someone')
But Bane won the first one.
>>93860860
>It's not Jean in the suit.
Welp way to fuck up.
