Jiro posted:So at what point is Powers Corp. going to go all OCP on Gotham and Gordon is going to have to go on the rogue? Six months in, 8? There any back story to this company that is tied into Gotham's history from older issues back in the day or (like my hunch suggests) is it going to be revealed its a front for Daggett Industries? Judging by how fast Snyder is moving on the return of Bruce Wayne I'd say next month.

Powers is also the family/company that absorbs/merges with Wayne in Batman Beyond (the cartoon), which is more likely where Snyder got it from.

Snyder insists in interviews that Powers is totally legit and they're not gonna have some Directive 4 moment where the Batbunny suit shuts down when a criminal mentions Powers Corp. That said...

And in Beyond, Powers is the evil rear end in a top hat who kills Terry McGinnis' dad and later becomes a supervillain.

I assume something is going to happen and Julie is going to help Jim escape. She will then bring him to Bruce.

lotus circle posted:She's considered high profile enough among fans that it would make sense, along with the push for more women solo titles. And if Selina and Harley have both proven they can carry solo books with the right creators behind them, it makes sense why people would want Ivy to be included in that. See, I'd be behind that if Harley Quinn weren't such an awful comic. So DC's really 1 for 2 on female villain-hero comics. seriously who is buying harley quinn please stop

She had wide-reaching appeal before Conner et al took her on. Now she's directly addressing her fans a lot. She's Deadpool. So is this thread where I talk about Gotham Academy? Did this thread somehow become the DC thread?

I read the free sneak peek thing of Harley Quinn and it seemed pretty good. The blatant not-Oracle made me roll my eyes pretty hard though. Most of her pun-names were pretty funny.

I didn't like the Harley Quinn that appeared in that Gods and Monsters preview Timm made, until I realized he it's him telling people "This is where she is headed. This is the road you're sending her down.  "Harley as Lobo.

I liked this issue, although the art isn't as delicately lovely as it has been. Damian Wayne is one of my least favorite characters in comics, but he always at least is portrayed as being at his most interesting around other kids. Shockingly indiscreet though, here. A nice 'aside', issue, which probably won't have longterm impact on the overall story, but I dug it.

Harvey definitely feels like a character who got more exposure/characterization in the comics because of the cartoon show, despite existing before the show. Same can be said about Mr. Freeze.

Same can be said about Mr. Freeze. Mister Freeze, on the other hand, appeared on the cover of a 1959 comic as "Mister Zero" and while he made some appearances in villain montages/groups/jail after that, didn't get a cover feature again until 1979 and appeared sparingly enough through the eighties that Grant Morrison put him in "limbo" in Animal Man, alongside other discarded characters like The Gay Ghost, Doiby Dickles, etc. I doubt anyone would have considered him in the top 10 (or possibly 20, maybe 30) Batman villains prior to the Animated Series.

It starts with Roy on his own, sad over his breakup with Kori and over the story Jason comes back and they patch things up. Art was great, Medri's style is clean and he puts of detail on both the characters and the backgrounds so yeah, definitely worth a look.

While everyone else has done a great job of listing Bullock's character history, I think one comment I remember hearing from Mightygodking was that BTAS was responsible for Bullock's look. That of "Fred Flintstone, if he was a cop in Sin City."

Prior to B:TAS Bullock was usually drawn almost like a old-timey hobo, or one of those clowns that look like hobos. He had severe 5 o'clock shadow, was constantly smoking, disheveled and shabby clothes, and usually some kind of weirdly colored or patterned pants, sometimes with a tie of the same pattern. He was also really clumsy which Gordon once used intentionally to heckle one of Gotham's many interim mayors that didn't like Batman (and by extension didn't like Gordon). He was way more of a buffoon type character than he was on the show.

Pretty interesting article about the recent change in status quo on Batman Some pieces I found important: quote:Look. Some of these substitute-Batman stories are good and some of them are awful but the problem with all of them is the same– they come with an expiration date. We know Bruce Wayne will return. We know this. Each time DC does a “there’s a new Batman in town, everything’s different” storyline, it looks more desperate and fans take it less seriously, especially those stories that use the apparent death of Bruce Wayne as a jumping-off point. The reader response to that is NOT “oh my God, how can there be a world without Batman? Who will save Gotham City now?” It’s, “Been there done that, there’s no way you are serious about this, it’s comics, he’ll be back.” The more DC flails around swearing no they really mean it this time, the more readers become convinced it’s another dumb stunt.
