> BOLD NEW ERA OF BATMAN STARTS HERE! A new day dawns for the Dark Knight Detective as Eisner Award-winning writer Matt Fraction (Hawkeye, Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen) joins forces with superstar artist Jorge Jiménez (Batman, Summer of Superman Special) for an unforgettable new era of Batman! The best superhero in comics gets a brand-new first issue to kick off this new era that will test Batman and Bruce Wayne like never before!Ok, let's dive into this.
What I need to know from the previous runs to catch up to this?
>>150182979>im getting pretty tired of thisMe too, Bruce. Me fucking too.
>>150182952go away casual
>>150182919fucking flat art from traced models. so fucking ugly.
>>150183050youre mum is fucking ugly
>>150182919>FractionPozzed.
>>150183091There it is...
It feels like he wrote this while getting pegged by his old lady.
>>150183091HAHAHAHAHAHA This book went from 4/10 to 8/10 because of this page.
I'm so fucking sick of this empathy push in everything.
>>150182919Wait what. Wasn't the bat-family prepared to beat up Bruce because of hush
>>150183267Based sociopath bro
>>150182979Same
That's it for the storytime.Here's a little interview with Fraction from the end of the book, and sorry for the little Red Hood ad earlier.
>>150183225What the heck is this?
>>150183278this is Post Hush
>>150183323Awful- no wonder absolute is killing the mainline
>>150183091Evil Trans Clowns?
>>150183044Fuck you
Wholesome Batman who punches packs of wandering misogynists and talks the mentally ill down without fighting them is an improvement over the last 10 years of Batman desu>>150182952Nothing really, everything you need to know is in the issue itself.
>>150183225I was gonna make a comment that taking off his cowl was a bad idea but then I remembered that pretty much every one of Batman’s villains knows his identity.
>>150183495Hi Matt.
>>150183267It is okay in small does but it does feel like the writers are over compensating.
>>150182929Please, delete this.
What a Gay book.
I haven’t read the main Batman book in a while, but I think the police turning on Batman is a pretty tired plot line, especially this late into his career. I do generally like this characterization of Batman though, though him taking off his mask is a head scratcher.
>>150183091Why are they wearing bras?
>>150183225>Killer Croc becomes retarded
>>150182919>>150183225This is why Absolute Batman is the best Bat book. It cares more about fun over-the-top action than being some gay Steven Universe shit.
>>150183091Is this commentary on transsexuals harassing lesbains into dating them?
>>150183678Contrast
Christ am I ever glad I gave up super heroes in high school.
>>150183309>>150182929Shouldn't Gay Robin and Flop Hood be at most 2 years apart?
Shame it didn't work out between Waylon and Janet from HR
>>150183678It is because DC Comics hates Batman.DC is controlled by Woke Twitter Leftists who hate Batman for being a “Rich White Male” and have to humiliate him constantly him (taking away his company and money, killing off Alfred, having him beat up by Catwoman and the Bat Family constantly, etc). DC Comics is basically ashamed of owning Batman kinda like how Paramount was ashamed of the Jason Voorhees movies.Absolute Batman is the exception because he is poor and Antifa thus allowed to be cool.
>>150182919Felt really short. Like, not a lot happened.
>>150183091>Snip snipWhy are blacks so afraid of crabs?
>>150183091what
>>150183091The Cult of Freaky Fred!!!
Why does Batman book threads create so much low IQ seethe?
>>150182919>this was what they were hypingThis is the very definition of a milquetoast Batman issue. This wasn't a brand new #1, this was filler number 37 level. I'm not even going to comment on >Batman learns heckin empathybecause Batman being less>VENGEANCEand more>let's just talkhas been a thing for years and years. Every single character's sissified now. But beyond that, there's literally nothing here to get anyone excited. It's just an average Batman filler issue. The big ending page is goddamn Tim Faggot. What am I, as a supposedly new reader, going to be hooked by? >oh no, Batman's on the run from da law!>oh boy, we have some cookie cutter tech being sold, this is just like Robocop, Judge Dredd and all muh heckin cyberpunk!There's no villain setup. There's nothing new in any fashion. Fraction was going on and on about how this was a new and alive Gotham with an identity, a pop punk and gothic mix. Where is it? It's just the art having some bright lights on the cars. There's nothing else here.>evil misogynistic white incels harass wholesome interracial lesbian couple while dressed in dragWhat even is this? Not to mention that the majority of the book was already released as preview pages over time. Why does this even cost more than 4$, it's not got anything extra. Can anyone say anything about this book that excites them? There's no direction. The solicits aren't teasing anything either. It's just one off Batman adventures but now gay and [current day]. Why would I spend my hard earned money on this? What is even the point? >Batman hunts down an old villain we've seen 49585769668747 times>Batman punches thugs>the law hunts the Batman...Okay? What is the direction? What is the idea? What differentiates this from a myriad other Batman issues? Why do they keep making utterly empty comics like this?
>>150182919Vol. 3 isn't even over, why?
>>150183323Better than Amazing Spider-Man.
>>150183360Post Hush 2? Wasn't that story supposed to kill a few Robins?
>>150183091>incels but they are transvestiteis this redpilled or bluepilled?
>>150183225Awww. What a poor cannibal.
Batman: WE MUST BE BETTER MEN
>>150183169250 millivolts is not a lot
>>150183901That will never happen.
>>150183104>I learned secret driving techniques from Tibetan monks that let me run people over non-lethally
>>150183901Apparently part one just ends with Jason Todd fucking off to New Orleans, that was Loeb's big solution, restoring the New 52 status quo of Red Hood operating outside of Gotham.
>>150183309There's a page missing after this in the digital edition. The best scan I can find is off Bleeding Cool
>>150184527h-hot. UwU
>>150182919What happened to H2SH?
>>150182947Why did Gordon rejoin the force again?
>>150182947How old is Jim Gordon supposed to be? Also how did he lose his job this time?And wasn't he in the hospital last issue?
Oh so Alfred isnt an AI, Bruce is just fucking crazy
>>150184898>Bruce is just fucking crazyBruce needs a good beating from bat family
>>150184805Hush went to an indefinite hiatus because that stupid fat fuck Jim Lee lost motivation again. How he still has a job I have no idea.
>>150183267Yeah that's great and all but have you tried being earnest instead of an edgy little bitch?
>>150184527blue is literally:>we had doflamingo at home from that morrison run.
>>150183225I was skimming.Why is croc retarded now?
>>150185057He's the President of the company.
>>150185114Re-read this page>>150182995
>>150185127So fire him. Fire his stupid worthless lazy ass.
>>150182929He will never look good without the helmet
>>150182929Please get canceled in 4 issues.
>>150185146So he's mutating and that turned him into a retard.
>>150184805>>150185057>>150185150Actually H2SH bombed so hard thanks to Loeb that they backpedaled and stopped claiming it was mainline Batman/current continuity. It quietly migrated over to its own self contained book, hence why Fraction is now being sold
>>150182995Killer Croc's got his own Harley, nice.>>150183059The one bit of awful continuity no one will ignore. Get rid of Vandal Savage, he brings nothing to the table.>>150183091Yikes. >>150183309What the hell type of #1 is this? Nothing fucking happened, no mystery was set up.
>>150184527>Joker is still alive after H2SH?
>>150185313Well I don't know if you heard this but apparently there's three Jokers

>>150185355Apparently the retailers hate DC's blind bag variants.
>>150185242I hope someone digs up the unsolved Vandal=Cain storylines from Final Crisis and Batwoman.
>>150185355We need Trump to make an executive order that says any comic can only have 2 covers: normal and special.
>>150185416We need Congress to pass a law, because executive orders don't mean shit.
>>150184837He got re-aged after Everything is Canon Again and he retired a fwe years ago to personally hunt the Joker before deciding he couldn't kill him. Then he decided to rejoin the force. This takes place after a timeskip.>>150185351The three Jokers exist within Joker himself.
>>150183023>unregulated dojosSHURIKEN CONTROL NOW
>>150185416Show some respect variants and the whales keep the lights on at your local comic store.
>>150183023>>150185839Ngl, "Gotham city has a ninja problem" makes me smile
>>150185744Technically there are MULTIPLE three Jokers>>Two imposters, one killed by Harley early on in Rebirth and the other killed in the second Joker ongoing a couple of years back that Joker decapitated >>Joker creating two imposters one of which was based on Golden Age Joker and the other Englehart/Rogers Dark Detective Joker as part of a quest to create an army of JokersFinally, two alternate personalities inside Joker's head Joker was trained to create to help him think outside the box by a crazy black guy who also taught Bruce the same thing
So what was so special about this book. My LCS was hyping the fuck out of it. Then Monday night I saw an actual trailer pop up on YouTube and a quick commercial yesterday. The one dude even offered me a deal where if I bought it and didn’t like it he’d take it back. I still didn’t buy it Now looking at it here I’m lost a bit, stopped reading when King took over. Just didn’t seem that exciting to me for all the hype this had.
>>150183186>>150183209>>150183225>>150183241>>150183272I don't hate this but I really really liked New 52 Croc.https://batcave.biz/reader/8870/57619
>>150186503It’s a Batman #1. That alone is enough to get the DC marketing machine into gear.
>>150185398lol noshit is always a money maker and will sell out
I don't like retarded Croc, change him back.
>>150186897It'll sell but they rather get the guaranteed variants and sell them at a mark up
>>150186331That second one was a Johns-canon Black Label book, but yeah that first one was likely made to paper over the "multiple Jokers appearing at the same time" Johns did years before they decided Three Jokers would be non-canon.
>>150186331My god 9 Jokers
>>150183287I liked it.
>>150183091This is why comic books are the lowest of the low. All the pozz turned up to 11 and no respite from it in any way. REST IN PISS
>>150182919Welp fuck me I liked it. Still think it will end up as shit
>>150185242>no mystery set upIt is intentional. They are going for an ever-green first issue, something that shows the world and current continuity but also functions as a stand-alone story. It ended on a cliffhanger, meaning the whole shebang will kick in gear next month. Whether that is enough of a hook for people to buy the second issue I dont know.
>>150183272>Giving Bruce a new dinosaur since he lost hisNigga that's kawaii
>>150183267Its more like the heroes always have this infinite well of understanding for their psycho villains but thinks its wrong for the npc to point a gun at the cannibalistic lizard man >>150183153
>>150183827The Hush 2 arc was supposed to be done by now, but it got delayed.But also no one gives a shit about Hush 2
Didn't hate it, didn't love it. Not sure I'm going to like the flavor of Batman Fraction is seemingly going to go for. I like dark, edgy, tortured, violent Batman but I reckon that's so overdone at this point that I'm open to something new for a bit.
>>150183225I think it's sweet idc. I love the Kelly Jones Croc and Swampy issues and have a soft spot for him.
Best batsuit in a long while
>>150185057It's long past time for DC to move on from the Jim Lee era
Jimenez used to be one of my favorite modern artists but ever since he started doing his own inks and toned down women his art quality really dropped and not even Morey can carry him now, everything looks too fucking bright it doesnt fit a batman comic that well
>>150182947Gordon looking pretty geriatric to be a street cop.
>>150183091If they are incels then why are they crossdressing?
>>150184993>Bruce needs a good beating from bat familyAgain?
>>150183153Why don't they just walk away?
>>150183287>Pennyworth ManorDoes Bruce not have his damn house back yet? The worst parts of the last few runs have been the stickiest.
This is hecking wholesome Batman which is why his costume is bright blue, less punching and more feeling and talking I guess.
>>150186503It is because Zdarksy’s run was so bad that people were hoping Fraction could save Batman. Kinda like how people were hoping Tynion could save Batman after King.
>>150188259>tynionwhy? tynion obviously hates batman
>>150182919When did Fraction do anything good?When did he do anything in comics?Last time I remember him being relevant was when he was doing dogshit Fear Itself
>>150185744So Jim being Batman is still canon or what and how many years ago in-universe?
>>150188558forever mad
>>150188597SHIT EVENTPAGES LIKE THESE DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING
>>150188558I’ve heard people say Sex Criminals was good, but never could get past the 1st issue. Art was dogshit too lmao
>>150185242>What the hell type of #1 is this?All that was established was Killer Croc getting a new character design and that Bruce built an Alfred AI which he talks to like a lunatic.
I don't mind a brighter, more inspirational Batman but this wasn't very good or much of anything at all.
>>150183225So does this mean the croc that was Roy's sponsor is gone now? That was the kind of little world interconnectivity that I always liked.
>>150183023We wouldn’t have a ninja problem if we had more dojos
>>150182995The blue is so beautiful. But the cape needs the rounded scallops, these pyramid things don’t work. Also Batman would not say that shit about people.>>150183042Sick. I really hope this doesn’t suck.
>>150183059So why is immortal supervillain vandal savage serving in municipal administration exactlyI know this was part of Zur or Failsafe or Captoe’s plan or whatever by why did he go along with it
>>150188558While I dont have high hopes for his Batman, Fraction's Hawkeye run was good. Carried a bit by Aja and Francavilla but still solid on its own. Best thing he can do with this title is try to undo as much of the New Fifty-shit damage as possible and then hand it over to someone who knows what they are doing like the 90s crew did (Grant, Moench, Dixon)
>>150183625They were jogging. This is sports wear. It's a sports bra.
>>150183267I’d rather read some fluff story about Batman realizing he should be nicer to someone than the tryhard wank of the past few runs any day of the week
>>150188742That Alfred isn't an AI
Bamham newfag hereIs this a good jumping in point for a new reader compared to the New 52 or DC Rebirth Batman? I still have my essentials homework (Absolute Batman included) to read through but what about keeping up with an ongoing?
>>150187777Impressive quads
>>150189549Don't bother with Batman until Hush 2 ends or is officially canceled.This book is supposed to be a 6 issue filler arc to give Jim Lee time to finish Hush 2, which has promised to kill off all the Robins even tho they're all featured in a book, it was also doing some crack things with the status quo of Batgirl Barbara, The Joker and Bane that never got resolved.
>>150189658Nooooone of that shit is ever happening. If they were going to kill off the entire batfamily they would be better off relaunching DC Comics as a whole to a Golden Age type of continuity, basically a universe-wide Year One. It would actually be awesome, a release from the tortured mess the past 20 years have been for Batman. But yeah, as I said... never happening ever. Hush 2 is an unpopular storyline, which is why they could not bother waiting for it to finish. They just went ahead with their planned new #1 issue in a attempt to pre-emptively follow whatever Gunn does in his future capeshit movies
>>150183750You're so fucking stupid.
>>150189549That's the point of a new #1. It'll never truly start from the beginning again.
>>150186021My only complaint is that the art for these variants should bring something to the table, something about the story, something that makes sense and actually feels like an alternate cover for that specific issue instead of a pin-up.
>>150188227Yeah, less punching, more driving people over with his batmobile. No fucking way those scissor weirdos survived that.
>>150182947Holy shit bro this is bold.
>>150188259Oh wow Zdarksy just doesnt feel like he’d be a good fit for Batman so that makes sense. What happened to Wayne Manor and the Batcave?How did Gordon get demoted and Savage is the new commissioner?I actually like the look of the new suit, the blue & gray is great. It looks like it’s loaded with tech. What’s with the front design of the belt?An electric Batmobile…….ha ha ha!
>>150183209>>150183225Meanwhile, he fucked an adult woman in the Poison Ivy solo.
>>150188259>Tynion could save Batman after KingOnly retards thought that.
>>150182952you need to have intimate knowledge of both king and zdarsky's runs so id just skip this
>>150184329kek
>>150189836Half of what he said is absolutely correct though. Just like the spider-man autist
>>150189822You don’t know how comics are made if you think they did anything that quickly. As retarded as it is the hiatus was always planned. Let alone the fact that the hu2h sales figures were good.
>>150188558I liked Casanova
>>150182952Band teamed up with an evil alternate universe version of Batman's dad and killed Alfred while using Psycho Pirate to control the cityJoker briefly stole control over Bruce's company and fortune, created two doubles of himself and tried to turn Joe Chill into one as well, confirmed he knows the entire bat family's secret identity, blew up Arkham Asylum, killed an imposter, confirmed to have both multiple personalities and his wife still alive/his son still alive, and replaced Harley with a new sidekick Punchline Batman created a super bot called Failsafe that went rogue and messed up the powers of a lot of heroesGordon quit as a cop, fucked his replacement's wife then got brainwashed by Riddler into killing his lover's husband Court of Owls teamed up elwoth Russia to rebrand KGBeast as a right wing MAGA hero to stir up agitation and weaken liberalism.
>>150191968Thank you grok
>>150183287Cute.
>>150191968>created two doubles of himself and tried to turn Joe Chill into one as well,> his wife still alive/his son still alive,Johns's Black Label books aren't canon, so skip this part
>>150191968I thought gordons replacement was vandel savage and it was the mayors wife that gordon banged and killed the husband
Why did Batman 2 and 3 only last 5-10 years? Will this last 2 years and reboot again?
BAD BATMAN IS BAD.My LCS is already waiting for the second prints because they didn’t order enough.
>>150183225>>150183153>>150183169Bought issue one today to see what fraction would do and cause I wish Jimenez would stop being wasted.Won’t be buying issue 2 because of shit like this.
>>150189549This is a good starting point compared to New 52 and Rebirth, yeah. These stories are going to be more self contained apparently, the current status quo of Gotham is explained very easily within this issue. All you need to know is Alfred has been dead for a while. Don't stop reading your homework. You can always read New 52 and Rebirth down the line. Rebirth is very continuity heavy so be prepared.
>>150185416>>150189905Yeah, what about like cheesecake covers of girls who don't even appear in the story?
boring, and jimenez sucks.
>>150183035What are you tired of?
>>150183091I think the MO is that they wear the clothes of women they victimize as trophies.
>>150196254Now that makes sense.
>>150188558I liked his Iron Man quite a bit. It was honestly the last good Iron Man run. And it's been nearly 20 years since then. 17 since it started, 13 since it ended. It wasn't as great as the Knaufs' run, but it was /good/ and it kept the character moving forward. This Batman #1 here however is a total nothingburger. There's nothing set up. There's no energy to it even. He's just killing time writing filler issues that will be forgotten the minute it ends.
>>150183091Ah yes, the biggest threat to women going through parks; the URBAN YOUTH of... WHITE MIDDLE CLASS INCELS! Bravo Fraction!
>>150183309I always did prefer Tim in the Red, Black, and Yellow. Didn't Damian also received a costume change?
>>150183750>Batman shows empathy towards someone >THIS IS HUMILIATING BATMAN!! WHY ISN’T HE BEATING THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF THIS GUY WHOIS MENTALLY AT THE LEVEL OF A SMALL CHILD AND ISN’T DOING ANYTHING EXCEPT CALMLY EATING!!!
>>150196721yeah shit's gay and boring.
>>150183729Yes. It's RH who is draw older than he should be. Not the other way around.
>>150182963So why is he shown here jumping from some random building when he actually fell out of Arkham Tower?
>>150183023I like this look for Gotham
>>150196998If the rest of the Batman Family kept aging alongside Damian Tim would be 21 and Jason would be 23. They're still drawing Tim like he's 16.
>>150197225Like O'Neil said, Batman's Gotham City is Manhattan below 14th Street at eleven minutes past midnight on the coldest night in November.You can have history and diversity of architecture, but the tacky big-screen touristy shit should go to Metropolis.
>>150189836>>150196721It's true in general that since the political awakening of the mid-10s that the liberal staff of DC were embarrassed by the very concept of Batman and have been pivoting him to someone they wouldn't be so ashamed of. Tynion took away his billions and wrote him as the least useful person in Joker War, Zdarsky had Catwoman and the rest of the Batfam reject his stopping all crime philosophy for "ethical theft," Thomas Wayne became an asshole who had a rocky marriage and an affair because "there are no ethical billionaires," Jim Gordon is now a murderer. This was further political signaling, but this issue was far more benign than others DC have published. I'm okay with a less Millerish kinder, gentler Batman, I prefer bronze age Batman anyway.
>>150197350Being rich IS evil though. You can't be a good person while having way more resources than your neighbor. It's by definition evil to hoard more than your rightful share (which is the exact same as everybody else's share). Now before you angrily disagree, think for a second: would you kill Jeff Bezos if you could? I bet you would. Think for a second why.This isn't even a Batman problem, it's that superheroes in general are behind the times. The medieval morality concept where people who live in luxury deserve it by God's divine will is being abandoned everywhere in the world. No one thinks wealthy people deserve to be wealthy anymore. Wealthy people are just making life worse for everybody else, by simply existing, they don't even need to do anything. And superheroes need to move towards that truth. In 2030 Superman will be forcibly redistributing wealth and Batman will beat the shit out of bankers, not bank robbers.
>>150197447Childish nonsense imo and not even new ideas
>>150183652To be fair croc alternates between retard and perfectly normal guy every 5 years or so
>>150197447>yes Ngubu, take my TV and my sister, the redistribution of wealth is the only ethical mindset!So THIS is the INTELLECTUAL PEAK of... XITTERTRANNIES!
>>150197467Thinking someone deserves to own 1000000000 times more than another person is childish nonsense.
>>150189658It was also doing some crack things with the status quo of Batgirl Barbara, Like what?
>>150197784People were going gaga because she had fancy sci-fi tech in her suit, that's it.
>>150183267No wonder none of you can get a girlfriend
>>150197674who are the fuck are you to be the arbiter of who deserves what?
>>150198273empathy sure but its scientifically proven that men who open up their vulnerabilities to women induce the ick factor in women.
>>150197447How's undergrad going?
>>150195472I think Jimenez at one point was the best artist they’ve had in years. He just seems burned out. DC need to get him off any Gotham books and get him over to the Superman office. He’s a far better artist than mora but he’s worked on nothing but bad Batman comics for 5 years now drawing the same retarded shit. And honestly I never thought he was a good fit for heavy shadows/heavy blacks that Gotham and Batman require. He’s better with Superman because of the optimistic flare to his work. Hell I think he’d be good on flash or GL. But they need to get him off the bat books. He’d have done a good nightwing and Damian but it’s too late and they’d end up pairing him with some faggot like Taylor. I’d say Wonder Woman would work but then he’d be with king. Match him up with a non-cancerous, non-woke writer (the shills can seethe about that word all they want) and he’d draw in sales to most books more than any other artist.
>>150199053Also samefagging to make a major point:Just like most European artists he is TERRIBLE at character/costume design. Mora, Marini, Cappuccio, Chechetto, redondo, etc are all every bit as bad. Stop letting any of them redesign costumes and characters. They might disagree, themselves, but theyre best when drawing simplistic gold & silver age costumes because they stop nerding out about faithfully redrawing their own over-complicated designs and focus instead on the actual storytelling and composition.
>>150195472>>150199053Its a testament to the important of inkers. Jiminez does good layouts and is generally more exciting and dynamic than Mora, but these inks are just not doing him any favors and looks unpolished. The ink and texture tricks don't work with the color
>>150199053totally agree with you anon and your point.
>>150183309They still got Drake wearing the tights? BWAHAHAHAHAHA
>>150199396He works digitally and has always “inked” himself. Literally never worked with an inker. It’s just that he doesn’t work well in heavy blacks. I will say his art was best when it was colored by Sanchez.

>>150199644>>150197674>>150197447So why not just admit Batman isn’t for you and shouldn’t be?
>>150199644Okay Count.

>>150200641I see why retailers are pissed about these blind bags, but I wonder if it'll turn casuals into variant hunters in the long term after getting a taste of the variant game.

>>150187460It IS wrong. That gun ain't gonna do shit. The NPC can't be blamed for that, but if he actually shot Croc, he'll probably get himself and the civilians killed. On paper, sure, he might be justified. But, again, a security guard's pea shooter is only gonna piss off Croc more.In Gotham, anything less than an assault rifle is probably worthless.
I kknd of understand though. I mean there's a lot of people sho are sick of Bruce just being a total unrepentant asshole who keeps burning all his bridges. Maybe this is too much of an overcorrection, but I think shit like this was gonna happen sooner or later.
>>150202323It isn’t “wrong” because1. There’s no reason for him to know that2. People should be afforded the ability to def3nd themselves3. Security guards in Gotham should absolutely be armedYou’d have to be drop dead retarded to think otherwise and this is the kind of ridiculous logic that faggots like Taylor and fraction keep subjecting people to over and over.
