My absolute favorite is Year One. "Yes, Father. I shall become a bat." Gives me goosebumps every time. Best part for me though is the part where he crashes the dinner party. I swear I read this story once a month and enjoy it each time.

While it gets poo poo on a lot, I do enjoy The Killing Joke, especially the ending with the dumb joke.

Never read Kevin Smith's Batman: The Widening Gyre.

I don't plan on it. I'm not a huge fan of Kevin Smith aside from his arc on Green Arrow.

I like that weird run in the 80's-90's with KGBeast and NKVDemon as goofy as they were.

I was just re-reading these issues! Loved them.

They were among some of the first Batman issues I owned. My dad bought them for me when I was a kid.

The first episode of Telltale's Batman is free at the moment.

For just Steam or X-Box One?

I played it on Steam. It's pretty good, probably the first Telltale game I've been really interested in playing the rest of since season 1 of Walking Dead.

I'll look on X-Box Live when I get home and see if it's free for Episode 1.

Ironic, given Rebirth is all about going back to the pre N52 versions.

No I'm pretty sure it's about incorporating pre-N52 elements into the current iteration of the DC universe, ie. Wally coming back, Oliver and Dinah getting together, pre-N52 Clark and Lois, etc.

The point still stands, there's nothing stopping King from introducing a clean Bane.

Once an addict, always an addict. Who's to say that he wasn't slipped some Venom somewhere in the past behind the scenes and now he's addicted all over again?

Show it then

Why do they have to? It's a logical possibility. King can tell the story however he and DC wants. That's why he's the author. Just because it doesn't meet your specific brand of expectations doesn't mean it's a terrible story. That's just your opinion. I quite enjoyed this story-arc and the future possibilities. Just like I hate Red Hood and you get your dick hard off it.

Today's Batman is fantastic. Definitely King's best issue.
I hope he gets to tell a few more relaxed little stories like this in the future.

Yeah I absolutely loved it, but I've really enjoyed all 15 issues of Batman since the Rebirth issue so... :shrug:

Sorry, thread. For not posting for a while.

Here's some dope poo poo from Batman 17

Im really hoping the cracks in the ground are meant to indicate that this is the return of the Key So Heavy Only Superman Can Lift It that used to open up the fortress back in the day...

I think this is exactly what it indicates!!

I hate that yellow outline. It should be the oval bat-symbol with the yellow or the bigger black bat symbol.

Yeah if Detective is going to be a team book, they need to remove Batman from the equation. He just overshadows everyone else. And the fit just isn't right.

Why would you try to drop the best book DC is publishing right now?

Hmmmm...are we now talking about Superman, the best book DC is publishing? I didn't think we were.

Why am I trying to drop Detective? Because I don't really like it anymore?

I really liked this story. I thought that the fact that Batman was about to kill the Riddler being the thing that makes Joker laugh again was fitting.

Good god when was Black Mask a childhood friend?

I don't know the exact issues, but BM's parents hated Bruce's parents yet still wanted to maintain their social standing. So they forced him befriend Bruce. I'm pretty sure it was pre-N52.

I'm also Eh on his Green Lantern. He had some interesting concepts for Kyle, but making Nero when Effigy was right there (And better in my opinion) and the change of Kyle's personality never sat well with me. I also hate the new costume, but I'm not sure that was so much his fault.

I did not like his GL at all. And his Green Arrow was very meh
