I know Gotham is a shit place, but it's a miracle no one decided "fuck it, let's nuke the fucking place"

I'm just not feeling this arc at all. It makes I am Suicide and I am Bane look good

>>94346692
Wtf Slade?

Hey, uh... Is Batman's costume supposed to mirror the DCEU? Are they really pushing that?

>>94346604
What are we, some kind of War and Jokes and Riddles?

>>94347000
This story is a flashback. He has a different suit in the present.

>>94347000
It's the New 52 outfit

>>94347030
Oh, okay. Not caught up to current DC, just randomly popped in.

>>94346686
Oh fuck off.

>Batman
>Taking out Deathstroke himself
>Taking out Deathstroke and Deadshot at the same time
>Taking out Deathstroke and Deadshot at the same time, while exhuasted

I enjoy this storyline, but this is kind of bullshit.

>>94346587
Strong contender for "Most generic Batman cover ever".

>>94347056
You would be wrong anyway, though.

This is the suit that he wore from 2011 till 2016.

>>94347072
Deathstroke and Deadshot fought for 5 days straight, Batman was just watching by the sidelines probably swooping in and out to save civilians. Guess who's more tired?

>>94346659
Long hair Selina>>>>>>short hair Selina
Purple suit>>>>>>>>>black suit

>>94347102
this much shit taste should be illegal

>>94347072
Don't forget Bruce by his own admission, is only a year into being Batman.

>>94346692
>>94346699
King is overselling this shit. Also nice is Selina to correct Bruce's autism.

>>94347097

Good point. At least this isn't Damian taking out Deathstroke himself.

Guh, those movies.

I'll assume the whole Calebrese bullshit was silently retconned away?

>>94346659

>>94347072
King can't into action filled story with Powe levels.

Why does the art occasionally look like Poser models with a pencil filter over them?

>>94346619

You tellin' me Riddler got Slade, Ivy, Two-Face, and more, all to wear his stupid insignia and chime off some retarded riddle in unison? Gimme a fuckin' break...why does King do shit like this so much?

>>94347108
Being attracted to women with short hair is a small step away from being attracted to skinny effeminate men of a certain sexual pursuation. Now who has the shit taste friendo?

>>94347140
because that's exactly what it is

>>94346659
When will they thicc up Selina to pander to thicken?

>>94347154
that's why you also take the black leather which shows how female she is. long hair means jack shit when every other male nowadays has a man bun

>>94347154

>>94346692
I call bullshit. There is no way Deadshot could possibly hold his own against Deathstroke for that long, Deathstroke should win this easily. 5 days? Seriously?

>>94347255
He's talking about Genevivie Valentines Catwoman run.

>>94347255
In the New 52, they made it that Selina Kyle was fake name and that her real name is Selina Calabrese, daughter of a drug kingpin.

>>94347255
when they made catwoman a dyke

>>94347264
This, the main problem with King's Batman is side stories are much more interesting. I get it, you want to juxtapose the external catastrophe of Gotham with inner turmoil of Batman and internalize the catastrophe. It's not working that great so far though.

>>94346770
>Batwinged great helm

>>94346716
Why the fuck didn't the government execute every single one of Batman's villains after all this shit? Or at the very least, bring them to a real prison instead of Arkham.

>>94346716
Batman is so gay now.

Lol. This is one of the dumbest Batman arcs I've read in a long time. I mean really how many more statistics is King going to throw at us without us really ever seeing anything? "28 people were bombed, 62 people died, it took five days, the bodies are piling up and all the cops can do is remove the corpses" yada yada yada. Like okay? Why do you keep skipping over that shit like its all footnotes? How did it get to this point without us ever seeing anything? Deathstroke and Deadshot fight for five days for some reason, and we don't even really get to see any of it? We get a few death tallies and then boom it's over.

This whole fucking story is just a series of montages with no sense of real progression or weight. What is King doing? Also I still hate his Bruce's dialogue, it feels stilted and just fucking weird, almost inhuman. Stop repeating shit so much.

>>94346722
I get it Tom, 'cause you are writing Mr. Miracle. You sure are a man of Vision. A real Sheriff in the comic industry. Soon not only the alpha but the Omega.

>>94346619
So, how exactly did Penguin get away with all this? Everyone else involved has been a wanted criminal ever since, but Penguin is somehow a "respected businessman" that nobody can get anything on?

Also where the fuck are the rest of the heroes during all of these? This is why I keep recommending batman be sent to his own earth/universe.

>>94346699

Is she seriously still calling him "Bat" while they're out of costume? What the fuck.

Also this arc pretty much solidifies the theory that Batman does more harm than good right? This entire "War" was started because of him and he's done FUCK ALL to stop it. Useless fucking prick. And then he doesn't hand himself in when it could stop the war, and another 100 people die right after...jesus christ this is awful.

>>94347354
is King autistic or is this a symptom of the PTSD

>>94347610
>Deathstroke
>Batman villain
I want casuals out.

>>94347652
The war started because of Joker shooting Riddler.

And Batman is just a one man. He is trying, but he can't just on his own stop these maniacs.

>>94347661
It is obviously supposed to be PTSD. A rookie Batman dealing with something that got out of hand. Like War Games with Stephanie Brown. King is doing a shit job of selling it. Every villain under sun are already established in Year One. Fighting a super villain gang war, after the destruction of Zero Year.

>>94346561
Notice how all of the Riddler's men are playing cards, but for some reason the Penguin is a card too. What if Penguin ends up betraying the Joker?

>>94347467
There is a difference between unrealistic and stupid. This is both.

>>94347720

>Just one man

...who has trained for like a decade for shit like this and has BILLIONS of dollars worth of resources at his disposal. Hundreds of innocents have died and he has yet to catch a single villain. He has let Riddler go TWICE already because he's fucking retarded and incompetent. Now more people die, over 100 in five days apparently (while the rest of the nation is doing fuck-all for some reason.) This guy is supposed to be one of the greatest crimefighters in the world? Give me a break...he's a bitch who not only can't protect his city, but is too cowardly to give himself up when it could end the war.

>>94346679
Wrong eye, Slade, jeez

So all this happened before Dick became Robin?

>>94346587
>trunks
Great cover by default.

>>94346619
Joker, you have to rape Gordon

>>94346692
What did he mean by kicking the tree?

>>94347858
That Deadshot and Deathstoke are pros while he still learning the ropes. A year from now I could've stopped them easily.

>>94347858

It's King thinking he's clever by referencing that page from Batman: Year One where Bruce kicks a tree in half, which he had already done in one of the earliest issues of this run. It's to show this is one year AFTER that.

>>94347820
Gay

>>94347524
Wouldn't that mistake be on the artist?

>>94346604
>It's ANOTHER No Man's Land episode

They don't to LITERALLY capture districts of the city for their "war".

>>94347957

>>94346642
>Purple Selina is back

Holy shit!

>>94346716
If nothing else, I do enjoy how King's writing Joker's sense of humour.

>>94346642
>Every Villain
>Not criminal
>Not psychopath
>"Villain"

We Batman & Robin now?

>>94346592
Is that page grammatically correct? They keep opening the overall quote time after time, only to close it once.

Is it me or does this feel like long Halloween but instead of Falcone/Maroni fighting it's riddler and joker

>>94346692
As soon as Deathstroke got into close quarters Deadshot would've lost. 5 days of fighting makes no sense.

>>94347524
It's not the writers fault. Most artists just google guns and draw them. There was even a scene Agent Venom where a henchmen was sniping with a fucking M249.

>>94348248

Is googling "sniper rifle" really that difficult? Also isn't King supposed to be a details-oriented writer? To me it feels like he just doesn't give a fuck about this book.

>>94347610
This set around year 2-3 of him being Batman, since he was one of the first there are very few heroes around at this time.

>>94348070
"said" is used way too much

>>94347776
>who has trained for like a decade
You know this supposedly after zero year, right?

It's funny how you people complain about how overpowered Batman is and then complain when he isn't.

>>94347403
are you gray, son?

>>94348345
You know he trained for like a decade before Zero Year, right?
It's funny how you're a faggot.

>>94348345

You know there's a difference between being overpowered, and being a completely useless fuck who lets hundreds of people die because of his cowardice and incompetence, right?

Also Catwoman, Riddler, Ivy, and Joker all seem to be notorious and well into their careers already. It's AT LEAST a year after Year One. This isn't fucking day 1 Batman.

>>94348402
Oh smart one, tell me how Batman with his current skill can stop this war? And did you even read this issue? Batman did save people and he just stopped Deathstroke and Deadshot.

>>94346642
best suit is back

Why do people like Tom King? Is he always like this? I swear to god he's legitimately writing in Bendis speak.

>>94348437

>Oh smart one, tell me how Batman with his current skill can stop this war?

Oh gee, I don't know, maybe actually apprehend the Riddler instead of let him go? TWICE I might add? Or put a tracker on Kite Man and follow him to Joker's place? ANYTHING.

>Batman did save people and he just stopped Deathstroke and Deadshot.

Lmao. After only 5 days of watching them fight and cause over 100 civilian deaths did he muster up the courage to stop them. Some hero.

>Oh gee, I don't know, maybe actually apprehend the Riddler instead of let him go? TWICE I might add? Or put a tracker on Kite Man and follow him to Joker's place? ANYTHING.
Gee, I don't know maybe because he thought for sure that the Riddler was dead and until he discovered that he wasn't and what was the second time where he let him go? And what good will do by him going to the Joker's place? You think this will stop his followers and the Riddler?

>After only 5 days of watching them fight and cause over 100 civilian deaths did he muster up the courage to stop them. Some hero
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you people won't go "REEEEEEEEE" at Batman beating Deathstroke and Deadshot at same time. Batman wasn't sitting around doing nothing, he was busy saving people and stopped them both when he got the chance.

>>94348636
>you think this will stop his followers and the Riddler?
>capturing one of the leaders wont stop the war
Really, anon? I highly doubt anyone on joker's team is fighting purely for his cause, and not because they're being threatened or blackmailed.

And why would riddler continue waging war if joker gets taken in? Who'd he fight then?

>>94346576
The first issue and the prequel 5 issues had such promise. Kind of a shame it got to shitty. I was really looking forward to it.

>>94346619
I can barely understand why Joker and Riddler are at "war", but why the fuck are all these villains following them? What exactly do they gain out of it?
Only ones I understand are Deathstroke and Deadshot, since they're mercenaries, and Penguin, he's being forced into it.

>>94346729
>I started talking with creators like Mark Waid
Why the fuck would you go to Waid to talk about New Gods

>>94348636

>Gee, I don't know maybe because he thought for sure that the Riddler was dead and until he discovered that he wasn't

World's Greatest Detective, huh? Left a guy to die, and ended up somehow causing more deaths because of it. Batman is confirmed a fucking idiot.

>what was the second time where he let him go?

Kite Man issue. Riddler was literally in Batman's arms, but he let him go for some reason.

>And what good will do by him going to the Joker's place? You think this will stop his followers and the Riddler?

Just how fucking retarded are you that you need this shit explained?

>Yeah, I'm pretty sure you people won't go "REEEEEEEEE" at Batman beating Deathstroke and Deadshot at same time.

It wouldn't be too much of a stretch that a tactical genius could apprehend two serious opponents who are distracted and focused on fighting each other.

> Batman wasn't sitting around doing nothing, he was busy saving people and stopped them both when he got the chance.

Yeah, he was busy cleaning up the aftermath instead of stopping the problem in the first place. Because he was scared. And he let over 100 people die because of it...so good job.

I Am Gotham, as well as I Am Bane are the best parts of this run and they're both Finch.

>>94348675
Because Riddler main goal is killing Batman and removing the Joker will only getting him closer to his goal so he won't actually stop.

And if the joker has threatened/blackmailed his followers, then he will find a way to force them to get him out of his capture so Batman will need to take them out first.

>>94346619
That "riddle" makes no fucking sense. How would anyone reach such a dumb conclusion?
Also, it would have been nice for Two-Face to get the "Two halves make a whole" line.

>Following Riddler's riddle like that and not just calling him a retard

Man, King just can't stop fumbling. It's odd how an Elmer Fudd crossover issue was his best Batman story.

>>94346716
Probably the worst page in the issue, it looks so lifeless.

>>94348070
Yes, you should read more

>>94348801
>>94348866

>>94348784

Did you even read his post you fucking retard? If the Joker is gone, there's nobody left to wage his pointless war against. Not that this stupid fucking "War" was set up well at all, or that it makes any kind of fucking sense, but if you take out one of the ONLY two guys who seem to have any kind of stake in it, who are the only driving forces behind it, there is no more reason to fight.

>>94348900
>>94346629

>>94346659
Okay this seriously looks like it could be a screencap from the Telltale game

>>94346619
those are some bad puns.

>>94346708
All batman had to do to take out the best killers in the world, one of which is enhanced beyond batman S's capabilities, was walk in between them and do some awkward punch kick thing with no power behind it

>>94347500

He has a long ass list of rogues, he forestneed to steal the best Titans villain.

But yes, in the end should Deathstroke win.

>>94346587

Goddamn it is Tim Sale finished?

>>94347285
My assumption was that Deadshot kept it a long distance match.

>>94346716
and a meme was born this day

>>94347389
The whole arc is literally Bruce remembering and dictating how the war went

what you wanted would have been nice, but as the story has been presented to us footnotes is about right

this will be an instance though of when it eventually gets made into an animated movie the movie version will be better

>>94349400
blame DCU, with the Batman movie coming out eventually DC is pulling a Marvel and trying to create synergy with their comics, because ya know, it worked out so well when marvel did it.

>>94349799

Except there are huge holes in the story. How the fuck did it get this bad? Where the fuck has he been? What has he been doing this whole time, besides getting Kite Man's kid killed? Why did he wait five fucking days to stop Deathstroke and Deadshot? Why was that entire confrontation with Joker and Riddler that we saw a glimpse of in the Kite Man issue never expanded upon or even fucking mentioned by Bruce?

This is just fucking stupid. Top it off with Bruce's robotic, trite dialogue and this whole issue is just a gigantic fucking turd.

This is like, thousands of people killed now, this is getting more stupid than I ever imagined!

>>94349832
This started with Arkham Origins you moron.

Ok what the fuck. Where does King get off trying to make the story dark and brutal by giving us all these death tolls and tales of unseen carnage, but then randomly throw in some cartoony shit like this?

This entire issue was just fucking wierd, man. And not in a good way. Total letdown from who I think is arguably the best author doing capeshit right now.

yeah, he's unfortunately been off the covers since the first issue of this arc (the second being the first without him). Which is ironic since it's the arc best suited to Tim Sale covers. Or is it a joke? or a riddle?

any which way it's dumb.

I recognized people didn't seem to appreciate his covers but fuck em. the shit since has been generic as fuck.

>no wrist guns on Floyd
The true sign this is trash

>>94346619

I don't know why most of these guys are even here.

The whole premise of this is nonsensical.

>>94346708

This should have been way more dragged out, like 50% of the issue should have been these two fighting and Batman trying to fighting them both.

The government stepping in should have ended it.

Gotham only works as it does when outside forces don't come invto fuck everyone.

In RL they would have just shot every villain they saw.

He's being forced into it.
And this is a prequel story that apparently takes place before Penguin is a supervillain/businessman and was still Falcone's umbrella boy that the Joker forced into working for him. He's not the Penguin yet.

I'm not even sure if he is supposed to be friends with Riddler in this continuity. They don't seem to know each other and this Riddler is a generic psychopath and child killer with none of the sofistication or sense of humor that made him friends with Oswald in the first place.

>>94346561
this is boring. like seriously boring.

>>94346692
SHOW DON'T TELL YOU IDIOT! Oh god this is terrible.

>>94346619
That may be the funniest thing I've seen the Joker say in ages. Riddler's riddle is old and tired, though.

>>94346770
From L to R: The Murder Machine, The Red Death, The Devastator, The Merciless, The Drowned, The Dawnbreaker

>>94346679
As poorly laid out as this is, I will never, ever get tired of the Deathstroke/Deadshot dick measuring contest. I like to think Slade is the better all around fighter, but Deadshot is the better shot given that that's what he cares about most.

>>94346561
I want to fuck this Riddler so bad. He's so damn handsome. I can't stand it.

>>94348048
This. These jokes are actually funny.

>>94346642
Hell yeah

>>94348048
Yeah.
It feels really refreshing that the Joker is witty and funny again. And, for once, he's not the worst part of the new Batman event.

Although this is really just a testament to how shitty this Riddler is.

>>94347858
There is a scene in Year one where Bruce actually kicks a tree down.

Why is everyone always looking for Ray Palmer? He seems to go missing every other year!

In the Asian Atom book Ray Palmer was missing. In Countdown he was missing. If Ray Palmer keeps disappearing why not let his just go.

>>94346619
It better be mind control, to explain why they're talking like drones and why the Penguin and Deadshot sided with the Joker of all people

>>94346604
Why don't they just nuke Gotham at this point? How many times can a single city be taken over by super villains before you give up on it?

This book's pacing is dogshit.

-Spending a couple issues on Batman trying to break up a Deathstroke/Deadshot duel: Great!
-Spending a couple pages on a montage of that: fucking awful

Why doesn't King just let the good shit simmer instead of giving me a powerpoint presentation version of what could be a great story.

i dont get how this event can take place 1 year into bruce being batman, it feels like something that should take place in present times. knightfall does what this event should've done.

>>94346716
He just saw the Justice League movie ??

>>94354141
I've got a better idea. Just kill all of the villains that keep pulling this shit. It's always the same exact guys, they keep getting arrested and then sent to the same pathetic prison.

>>94348809

It's not a riddle, it's a stupid joke kids tell

>>94354174
His entire Batman’s run is suffering from telling, not showing. Every freaking big thing happened off-panel.

>>94348387
You're a faggot, faggot

>>94354309
Every Rebirth book is like this. Even Deathstroke is loaded with exposition. Don't know why /co/ has such a boner for Rebirth.

>>94352481
>a generic psychopath and child killer
Whoa, what have I missed since Zero Year and the Villain month issue? I know there was that shitty Flash story where he had drones targeting everyone in Central City or some stupid shit, but that whole run was garbage.

>>94354347
Most of Rebirth are mediocre (this something definitely I agree), but not all of them suffering from "tell, don't show" where everything important happen off panel like Batman.

It's happened before.

And that was without metahumans and math teaching you the best method to shoot at someon

>>94347348
>>94351528
He's got a point.

I mean this is full on civil war. Feds? They'd be facing the National Guard at least, troops on the streets. And definitely terror charges of the highest degree.

>>94353991
And never again.

If they did, they'd have to address why these fucks are not at the bottom of the a Federal Supermax.

>>94355481
I saw this happen.

RPG team were spotted barely 150 meters away from the convoy. Everyone opened up but they got a shot off and it got hit mid flight barely 75 meters from us. Luckiest shit.

king's run continues to be shit

are batfags really dumb or any batman book will sell because of casuals?

>>94346659
They have just fucked??? I mean by this page she has already being inseminated???
>>94347156
By the 4 or 5 month of his pregnancy of Helena probably???

>>94346708
>batman took out deathstroke in 4 hits but till had trouble knocking out deadshot
yeah fucking right

None of this shit makes sense.

How does Deadhsot keep up with Deathstroke?

Why would either of them sign up with Riddler or Joker? Most of the Gotham villains have (presumably) a working relationship with Joker/Riddler and a personal grudge against Batman, so I can understand why, say, Two Face might choose to hang out with Riddler, but both Deadshot and Deathstroke are professional killers who only care about getting paid. Why are they even there?

How do they clash five times? When they meet face to face the first time shouldn't it be a fight to the death?

How the hell does Batman beat both of them in a fight at the same time.

>>94347102

Wow, get that shit taste off of this board.

God tier taste.

>>94347102
this.
>>94358033
also this.

>>94346576
Is this the issue? you know, the one. the one where batman tells Selina he has a chode.

>>94347140
>>94347500
And what's wrong with that?

>>94354141
Hi Ra's

>>94358520
there are actual artists who deserve the work.

>>94346659
this page looks like a badly rendered ReBoot episode.

>>94347858
you fell for the "frank miller is a terrible skippabel bigot" meme, I guess?

>>94346619

Who's the guy behind the Ventriloquist? Cluemaster?

>>94350341
wait. fuck. no.

I was hoping king would fuck off after like a two year stint, TOPS. maybe hit 52 issues and then fuck back off to shit I never have to interact with. I'd prefer him off asap. and without any more snyder bats too. new blood, new batsuit.

where is this 70 issues figure coming from?

>>94353740
with the way he's telling and not showing almost every major fight and wasting time with poser art of nothing this fucking arc could have taken four issues at most.

unbelievable that this dude hyped this shitty arc up for so long to just skip over the whole thing with shitty exposition floating over even shittier spreads and splashes.

Did anyone else think this was fucking garbage? This is easily the worst storyline of King's Batman so far.

>>94360126
same here. the terrible art is doing it no favors but having the war happen completely off-panel is absurd.

I stopped defending this loser after he ended the Bane arcs each with stupidity. I just want him to fuck off already.

>>94348738
God, she totally looks like trailer trash.

>>94347097
>Deathstroke and Deadshot fought for 5 days straight

I'm imagining them fist-fighting their way into a gun store to buy more ammo to shoot at each other.

>>94347204
wasn't Zsasz a psychologist or some kind of doctor? he's nerd enough

>tfw not even reading the issue, just expanding pages with the most (You)s

>>94362489

No, he was a rich kid and gambling addict. Went crazy when he lost everything or something like that.

>>94346561
Rifle shells?

>>94346610
Classic Joker response.

>>94346679
Is this an accident or is Deathstroke mocking Deadshot?

>>94348678
>I can barely understand why Joker and Riddler are at "war", but why the fuck are all these villains following them?
None of it makes any sense. King thought a stupid jokes vs. riddles gimmick was compelling and tried to force a story around it. The execution is as terrible as the premise, he can't make the panels speak for themselves because the story is retarded and ends up having to narrate 90% of the action, and it's inexplicably a literal War of Jokes and Riddles where people actually refer to the situation as "The War of Jokes and Riddles" and form two equally matched sides that take over the entire city because the Riddler asked Joker to team up with him to arbitrarily commit crime just because they're evil criminals and the Joker turned him down. I don't think you could write worse stories if you tried unless you're the modern professional Marvel writer who does that America Chavez series or something. Nobody who isn't Grant Morrison should be allowed to write Batman going forward, rebirth in general has been garbage.

I hate to say it given how much King dick I was sucking going into this, but Snyder's Batman might honestly be better than King's. Between King phoning it in and Janin being Janin, this is just... fucking BAD. The best thing about this issue was Joker's joke at the beginning.

>>94357468
>Why
Are you fucking retarded? You answered your own question. They're professional killers, they're being paid. Also it helps their rep if they kill Batman/beat each other

>>94350498
Watch King fumble a good opportunity to have Penguin play both sides or be a sleeper agent for Riddler.

>>94364403
>You see ivan when yoy hold rifle like me you never shoot the inaccurate

I know I'm going to get shitposted into oblivion but I hope we see a pre-Harley Harleen Quinzel in this arc.

>>94367536
Probably at the end when joker gets back to arkham

>>94348710
Shouldn't you be sucking Superman's cock right now?

>>94347348
It's not legal for the federal government to execute the insane in the US. And New Jersey banned execution of normal criminals.

Damn, I was starting to dislike King's Batman, but this issue actually depressed me. It's just so bland and emotionless. Janin's art is absolutely horrid and King either doesn't know what he's doing or doesn't care. I hope he's less full of himself in Mr. Miracle, but based on his interviews, it will probably be pretty pretentious.

>>94365271
Maybe rethink that King cocksucking then...

His other books are still 10/10. This though... I don't know what the fuck happened.

>>94353423
Imagine sniping anything with a weapon that isn't and bamboo branch and a blow dart. Fucking casuals.

thansk OP

>>94346699
Holy shit. They killed Agent 47!

>>94371438
>10/10
Nope.

>>94347072
DESU my jimmies were pretty rustled with those bullets hitting each other. Deadshot should be much better with guns while Slade is more of a swords/karate guy.

>>94347524
Hey, if Golgo can do it, why not?

>>94346708
That's a very detailed taint shot.

>>94372502
Anon, come on now. Everyone knows the climate of Gotham does not promote good bamboo growth.

>>94359102
It's 100 issues

>>94365046
Riddler literally told Joker: "Joker pls hep me kill Batman" and Joker said "Fuck off". This is why the entire premise of this thing is shitty.

>>94371438
They're about as 10/10 as his run on Batman is.

>>94347389

Yep.

This is one instance where I'd like more tie-ins and one-shots.

"War of Jokes & Riddles: Deathstroke vs Deadshot 1-shot" -- This would actually be good.

Have a dozen of them over two months. Various Bat-villains vs each other.

Instead we get stupid King writing and splashpage montages showing nothing.

Terrible run. One of the worst.

>>94346561
This issue was boring af

>>94347524
No no no, Tom King was a former CIA guy.

Everytime any pundit in the comics press talks about him they make sure to mention he was in the CIA.

Super smart guy.

REALLY worldly and experienced.

He was in teh Middle East. He was like really making sure things went well over there. He's really smart and into planning.

It's the CIA yall. You know, the folks who've been making sure the world works smoothly and isn't a cluster fluck of dysfunction with a thick layer of propaganda slathered over it to make the normies comfy.

Tom King. Great writer. Smart guy. He was CIA. He's like really smart.

>>94374702
you've got to be fucking kidding. Nobody would sign anyone to a run that long. Little Shitty Scooty Snydes only got 52.

Riddler is now cutting himself, killing people randomly just like The Joker and he poisoned Kite-Man's son.

>>94366094
This whole crossover should have been about Joker vs Penguin in the first place. These two have a lot more history together.
But, then again, maybe I should be more thankful Riddler is the one undergoing character assassination at the hands of King, instead of Penguin (lord knows he's been through enough of that)

>>94376986
I actually think the joker not being able to laugh would have been a fine enough story in and of itself. It would have been a novel enough idea and a decent usage fo the character.

Bastardizing the Riddler to create a "war" which waged far too out of control for it not to have had larger effects on a story that was told for the past year.

some of the choices made concerning major plot points and moments have just been fucking bizarre.

It's kind of baffling to me that, for once, The Joker is not the worst part of the new Batman event. In fact, this is the funniest he's ever been in years. For once, he's not the edgiest and most stupidly written character in the room. While "Joker has writer's block" has been done before, I like that this story writes Joker with a sense of humor without him being able to laugh or smile or even be le chaos mastermind.
It reminds me a little of how Arkham City Joker had the constant sickness and coughing that forced Mark Hamill to deliver his lines in a different way without relying on some of his usual crutches, but the results were fantastic precisely because the people involved had to be more creative.

Too bad that Riddler had to be completely bastardized to occupy the Joker's spot and King absolutely cannot write Batman (the character) for shit.
I really wish I could be enjoying this comic but the good things are not enough to distract from the bad ones.

>>94346561
Wait when in the timeline does this tripe take place?
Didn't Slade make turn a new leaf and why is Selina in her old costume?

>>94377707
Year Two.

I don't mean to be rude, and you certainly aren't the only person to have asked even ITT, but how can anyone be unaware of this. Why would anyone come to this storytime without even a basic knowledge of the storyline?

>>94377891
I just don't read batman and last thing I read about him was issue 22

>>94346686
Are people on this board really so damn autistic that they are complaining about unrealistic gun selections and cool ass scenes this this as "too cartoony"?

Just kys. I miss when this board wasn't full of complete retards who hate comics.

Fucking THIS.

You'd think that DC would try to cash in on this especially because they are bat villains and Batman sells.

>>94378264
>complaining about people complaining about shitty art.

and you think you're not the cancer here?

>>94378304
they're wasting that type of initiative on Metal.

>>94378363
People can bitch about the art dumbass. People bitching about the fucking guns the characters are using is pure autism.

Im convinced most of them arent even reading the run and just pop in to bitch randomly.

>>94378363

Fuck, you're right. That fucking sucks.

>>94346642

Might be temporary, but I like it.

>>94378386
That is bitching about the gun though. The words and art don't match.

>battle of the snipers

I mean I wouldn't call it a cock fight and have Dick Tracy fighting Dick Grayson.

>>94346699
I've defended King's run here and there but Jesus this dialog is just awful.

>>94346587
That's a very strong Adams drawing. I like it. Always nice to see more of his Batman.
