A big guy that wears dragqueen footwear apparently. Heels on police dress shoes add 1 to 1 and a half inches of height to a person. The average length of a military boot from bottom of the heel to the very top of the boot is 8 inches. Batman goes from 6 and a half to 7 feet.

On one hand I am shocked they didn’t make a BatCat book to try and copy Ultimate Spider-Man.

On the other hand, it would probably have been written by Tom King again for the hundredth time. Or worse Tini Howard.

He dies alone without any kids behind. Real Bruce Wayne always had girlfriend, since day 1. Batman didn't prevent it, nor (even) addition of Robin.

Ethan, I know you're mad about not getting work from DC anymore. I'm bummed too I really liked your art. But I promise DC isn't sitting on /co/ reading your epic takedowns of whatever it is they're doing. You make a new thread every hour and jump into any thread that even mentions DC and samefag thru the whole thread shitting on them. Do you really want to get revenge? Show them you can be successful without them. But in order to do that you need to actually put work out and you can't do that if you're wasting all your time on /co/. From what I understand you have several promises that are years late. Turn off the computer and get to work.

His first appearance is already 98% of what people need and almost everything else (like Robin) comes the year after. DC knows it's going to be a disaster for them when it happens and it is smart of them to try and make preparations for it. This is not going to catch on though.

Simone is like a 3/10 writer. She doesn't matter. What DC needs is at least a half dozen 8s or 9s and then they can possibly start recovery. Problem is, I don't think they have any system in place at all for finding fresh writing talent (with actual talent and not just exotic alphabet groups).

>>144670205
The last anecdote I ever heard about either company's editorial proactively seeking writing talent is so old, the guy mentioned was still named Jim Owsley at the time
For almost a century the industry has relied on being a seller's market: initially desperate pulp writers and unemployed illustrators living a train ride away from the offices, then hip creators reliving their childhood nostalgia, then irony-addicted writers and British invasion rape enthusiasts, and finally politically motivated propagandists and impoverished South Americans who recognize it's a buyer's market because the industry still refuses to hire professional talent at according wages.
It has been LUCKY to last this long and if the DC/Marvel acquisitions hadn't occurred with no film synergy bucks, both would have gone out of business by 2010. As it stands both companies are IP farms with the print end being run as leisure operations, doing cancellation numbers on all their titles and no real impetus to be actual businesses for the foreseeable future.
>>
>>144670527
The profit margin on comic books depended on the cheapness of uncoated pulp paper and frighteningly primitive color separation done by the printers limiting the palette to 64 colors. When both companies latched onto bleached coated color stock they figured they'd just raise the price slightly – then in the 90s paper prices soared with no sign of return and that ate their margin. It also spelled the end of being subsidized by postage stamp sized mail order companies and having to actually find full-page advertisers which radically raised page rates and in turn issue costs.
The entire business model behind American superhero comic books is almost a half century old while none of the external factors that made them briefly popular for 15 years still apply. It's a zombie industry propped up by film studios who are themselves watching their industry die.
Enjoy this while you can, it's not going to improve and Image has another 10 years at best before it implodes or transitions hard into some other direction. Capes are a 20th century phenomenon on their last legs for economic more than social reasons.
>>
>>144669767

Steamboat Willie entering the PD didn't mean that people had access to Mickey Mouse.

Post physique
>>
>>144664937
No, it's the exact same reasoning. Pandering to late 80's and early 90's nostalgia.
There are Bat fans who hate the bat family and want Batman to be more like the movies.
>>
>>144671472
Larson got away with that because it was basically parody with how exaggerated it was. Painting Mickey as a le rapist is no different than a Family Guy skit or the Horror Pooh movies being made.

If Larson had tried to make a genuine story with Mickey then Disney would have raped him.

>>144672143

Yeah, me.

There are still a number of fans who think the only major supporting characters in Batman should be Alfred, Commissioner Gordon, and maybe Lucius Fox.
