So, from this day forth, Cassandra Cain is known as...ORPHAN! Because that's better than Blackbat, apparently. Between that and the lovely new costume they're really not doing her any favours, are they?

Picklepuss posted:They can't decide what color the bat-belt is, can they? I think the idea was the belt was supposed to be all gold but colored black with gold edges to show it was in shadow. Some of the colorists misunderstood and are doing the black w/gold in "fully lit" shots.

I hope the point of this is that Harper goes back to being Batman's Harold like she was originally supposed to because I think she functions much better in that kind of role then another vigilante in an already crowded city.

I still can't believe they didn't give Cass a red bat symbol for a mask after she drew one on her face in blood. That issue ruled. Could have just called herself Cain honestly.

It's been a hot minute since Batman related was posted in this thread. With Snyder's 51 issue of Batman out, why not have a discussion over your favorite Batman villain, including any particular era of comics, or writer that wrote him/her. For me I've had a soft spot for Two-Face as my favorite villain. Harvey's story is loving tragic, a good man driven to insanity by acid to the face, although I do like some interpretations that already hinted at dual personalities and the Maroni incident was just the thing to push him over. Even in the animated series you have it hinted over like a half season that he's losing it. And even when he does lose it he STILL somehow in his own duality obsessed mind try and bring some order to Gotham. Less Joker more Two-Face, and throw One-Face into a dumpster.

Well, All-Star is opening with a Batman/Two-Face team-up road trip or something. I'm looking forward to that. Apparently it'll address him seemingly committing suicide last we saw him in B&R.

I love Two-Face. My favorite villains are probably Scarecrow and the Riddler. Both of them challenge Batman in things he's usually very confident in - being the scariest guy in the room and the smartest, respectively. Riddler was used really well in Zero Year, he works with Snyder's "puppet master" style of antagonist that seems to be in every one of his stories. Hasn't been a good Scarecrow story in a while. Arkham Knight was pretty good but I don't know how much the character really felt like the Scarecrow to me.

Speaking of Arkham Knight and villains, has that version of The Joker (as just a figment of Bats' imagination) been done before? It felt like a fresh twist on really overused character.

It is my considered opinion that Black Mask is the best batvillain who did not appear in BTAS. Please agree/disagree, and offer alternative candidates if you're feeling peppy.

I want to disagree, just because I don't think Black Mask is a very good character at all, but he's probably the biggest name that never made it on the show. If characters who didn't exist when BTAS was on the air count I would say Dr. Hurt. KGBeast maybe, or Deacon Blackfire if he counts, being a one-off villain.

Teenage Fansub posted:He was recently a figment in amnesiac Bruce's mind in Snyder's Batman. Shows what I get for reading in trade. I liked it because too often Joker stories revolve around some complex scheme relying on his near-omniscience, plus frequently he's just not funny enough. Making him a disembodied black comedy routine cuts away all the extraneous stuff, leaving the core of the character to play with.

Anarky would have been a great BTAS villain. He would have perfectly fit in with the show's mature, nuanced plot. Have a philosophical debate as he fights Batman (ala Ra's Al Ghul or Red Claw) and end it with the "shock" reveal that all this time the villain was a teenage boy in disguise.

Black Mask also appeared in those comics, along with Eel O'Brien and the False Face Society. It wasn't particularly memorable and the design they went with was kinda lame, but he worked well as a character that straddles the line between supervillain and regular old gangster.

In #48 after he's trying to convince Bruce to give up the old memories that are creeping back and live his new life, an explosion goes off and Bruce runs towards the Mr Bloom fight, then turns back and there's no one behind him. e: I guess it's possible that he was literal and scampered away since they didn't explicitly state that he didn't exist, but based on the conversation I think it's most likely he was a manifestation of Bruce's mind fighting itself.

Looking at that again, it's the only thing that Batman's not there observing. e: I mean, it's designed ambiguous at least. I found #48 interview asking if he was real and Snyder just said something like "That's the thing with Joker, man. You don't know!" But him puffing away the moment Bruce runs off to accept who he is, is pretty explicit to me. ee: Not that Bench Joker probably has anything to do with the narrative presented in Rebirth, so, eh. Norns posted:Well, with three jokers around, odds are pretty high it was real. Not saying that Joker's goop didn't bring him back and is multiplying him like a mogwai for Rebirth, just that the conversation on the bench was likely just Bruce.

In the bottle issue of Synder's run where Gotham is hit by a blackout and Batman is convinced that this is the start of an assault by some supervillian only to discover....It was just a black out. And peace broke out and stuff. But during that issue you do see the "cured" Joker sitting on the park bench.

That's what my first line was referring to. You see Batman snooping in on everyone else. e: Anaaaanyway, whether #51 proves it or not, the encounter was absolutely designed to make you question whether the literal Joker was there to halt his way back to Batman, or his own brain was. "Suicide is an option, huh?" "Wait the city is in trouble! I'm instinctively running to be a hero!" "Oh look. The voice of doubt vanished." ee: Literal's fine too, since it means he probably infested those fish with parasites himself just to give Bruce a handy metaphor. That's pretty good.
