I'm enjoying Fraction's run so far, more than I have recently. Zdarsky was pretty much forgettable and at the mercy of Absolute Power because of Failsafe, King was terrible (nothing new there). I thought Tynion was fine but it was very clear that he was making characters because editorial kept shooting down his scripts, which I think he even mentioned in an interview once. Going further back to Scott Snyder, I feel like Court of Owls was the only thing he had going for him. Death of The Family was kinda dumb, and no one cared for Signal nor Bat-Gordon. Although he seems to have done a lot better with Absolute Batman lately.What do you think of Dr. Zeller, The Minotaur, and The Ojo? Do you think we'll finally get a normal Joker story for a change that isn't world /city ending and just fun? I'd like to see more of Punchline at least. Or just talk about Batman villains, and how you want their status quo to be
>>152106697I think the new run looks too clean.
>>152106697>Bat-GordonI liked Bat Gordon. Honestly I kind of loved that entire era of DC comics
Absolute has been very fun so far. In any other situation, this Bruce would seem hilariously intense. His connection to little group is really fun and helps sell it. Going back in time reading Batman and the Outsiders and its a nice contrast
>>152106737What do you mean exactly?>>152106871I thought it was a bit weird considering they had to de-age Gordon by like 20 years. Probably would have hit better as a what-if alt world story, but that's just me.>>152106878I hope they stick with the friends as his "Bat-Family". Waylon is kinda rough, but he appears capable of reason. Hard to say about Oswald, but Dent and Nygma appear to be stable and supportive at least. Would like to know more about Selina and her deal, but that's likely coming in her upcoming book
>>152106977It's my first live run of a Batman series so I'm excited. Being able to go to my LCS and see the buzz for it has felt amazing. The Bat-Family stuff would be a good comparison. Dick seems to hate him and he's already getting support from Harley (although I wouldn't be surprised if JK manages to win her over for a bit). I'm curious about if people would be annoyed by Dent and everyone not going full villain but so far, everybody loves Croc being a Bat Friend
>>152106977>I thought it was a bit weird considering they had to de-age Gordon by like 20 years.Eh, I get it, I did wish they made him look older, specially to make the mecha more important to his crime fighting, but I liked what we got, felt very fresh at the time.
>>152107116I want to know more about Absolute Harley. I'm thinking she was one of Jack's arm candy girlfriends and lost her baby she had with him. There might be implied sexual assault with her too given the shaved head, as women who are victims of such things can make themselves look more boyish as a way to subconsciously deter future attacks from men. Hard to say, especially with her age. We don't know enough.
>>152106697I haven't been able to enjoy any of these. It's been terrible since Snyder.
>>152106697idk i dont like it
