What does this make you think?
How does it make you feel?
>>77372406
I like my Batman like I like my Superman: FUN, and not edgy.
Which is why Adam West Batman is est Batman.
Go back to listening to linkin park, kid
>>77372406
I feel like it would be better if it was "Crime MUST pay", because then it sort of turns it around to imply 'criminals must suffer the consequences of their actions', simply saying 'it does not' and then following it up with 'it must not' makes it feel kind of weak, emphatically, like the character doesn't have real conviction that justice (even if extreme justice) is a winnable cause.
I'm also curious what the source of this is and the context, I guess.
what the fuck are those gloves
>>77372794
That's just the other extreme, you are as retarded as the EDGY contingent.
>>77372818
that's how OG bats dressed
>>77372406
Where does his gun go?
He doesn't even have a holster.
>>77372813
You're arguing a guy in a bat costume can make a difference.
The entire premise of Batman is vengeance, anyway, and not justice.
>>77372834
I guess the men's winter gear store was out of black. Couldn't even get dark blue?
>>77372406
That belt is too goofy
>>77372851
What do you think the trunks are for?
I liked how Odyssey introduced Batman starting off with guns, only to immediately discover that they were worse than useless for a crimefighter with a no-kill policy when facing off against similarly armed criminals.
>>77372861
Yes, but the character himself SHOULD believe he can make a difference, otherwise there's the question of why he does it, even if the audience knows he can't make a difference.
>>77372406
This makes me want to reread Planetary.
>>77372851
The artist clearly forgot that. Back in 1939, he actually had a holster on his belt for a couple of issues.
>>77372406
Just for context, this is from an issue of Planetary where they encounter Batman as they're thrown through multiple dimensions, each one being a different era. This includes Miller Batman and Adam West Batman.
You know what? Fuck it, I'll story time the thing, it's a great issue.
>>77372406
whole design feels unbalanced. I see why they later gave him the elbow-gloves with the spikes.

>>77372818
>2015
>being this casual
>>77372974
His arms aren't blue.
>>77372985
Just so we're clear, Planetary takes place in the Wildstorm universe.
>>77372981
There's a damn good reason they were never seen again and everything else about Batman's design was at various points.
>>77373002
>>77373016
>>77372818
spot the casual
>>77372406
It makes me think Planetary is awesome. And feel that Planetary is awesome.
It also makes me think >>77372794
is retarded.
>>77373030
>>77372960
Man, I can't believe they felt they had to explain the setup, and that yes the Batman character used guns originally.
>>77372851

looks about right
>>77373265

For me batman is:
batman year one
batman/planetary
batman 700
batman the return
batman what happend to the crussader caped?
all these comics are batman definition.

>>77373304

>>77373351
>>77373053
Well, there'd be a bunch of casuals screaming about muh Batman never killed
>>77373009

But they showed up again for Zero Year.

The original art for this actually had him with the yellow logo and visible eyes. But I guess there was probably a legal issue so they altered it.
>>77373460
>>77373480
>>77372794
Back to your Tumblr, kid. OG Batman is for real men.

The original GA Batman had a holster, dumbass.

Snyder and Capullo brought them back for Zero Year though
I'd like to see Dick make fun of the gloves
>>77373682
which batman is this? Gotham looks more future-y than normal

As bad as the Batwank has gotten in recent years this has to be why I still like Batman.
>>77373780
And that's the end. Hope you all enjoyed.
>>77373771
>>77373722
In Ellis' script, he just told Cassaday to go wild with it. So essentially, it's Warren Ellis and John Cassaday's Batman, and I guess how Ellis really feels about the character.
>>77373830
oh okay, so it was meant to be their notion of what the platonic ideal Batman would be. The Gotham skyline being that way might even be supposed to imply that this is a Batman that's no longer fighting a losing battle, but is instead guardian of a utopia.
>>77373816
Good read. Thanks!
God I miss good Batman stories. Recomend me more
>>77373951
Thanks anon.
>>77373480
we miller now
>>77373830
Are there any transcripts online of Ellis' script? I want to read it but fuck paying 20 bucks for a hardcover one-shot that I already have in the Planetary Omnibus.
>>77372794
you are the worst type of batman fan who probably dislikes the majority of good storylines involving the character
>>77373816
I did.
>>77373780
>Giant ass Moon
>Red Skies
>Shadowed buildings
If the moon was that weird yellow one, it'd be a perfect modernization of the Kane/Finger days Skyline.
>>77373002
Reading a lot of Grayson and then seeing Dick in this is pretty funny.
>>77372851
If he ever holsters his weapon, he has failed.
>>77374371
Dad?
Didn't Planetary have an issue about the Justice League as well?
>>77374810
It's basically "what if Planetary was the Four, and the trinity was Planetary?"
>>77374810
Yeah, Terra Occulta. Although, just like the Batman one-shot, it's Ellis's own take on the Trinity rather than an established DC canon.
>>77374107
>batman
>good
batman has always been a linear and shit character but you are too fucking stupid to take off the rose colored glasses and see things for what they are
>>77372794
i second this
>>77375472
I really liked his take on Wonderwoman, he did some cool stuff with her bracers.
>>77373780
In a perfect world someone would pay Ellis and Cassaday to collaborate on whatever the fuck they wanted for the rest of their days. Elijah Snow is the closest thing I've ever had to a man-crush.
>>77372794
The reasons why comics are so shit is because they are stuck in a constant struggle between a fanbase of angsty teenagers who want everything to be edgy and sickdark, and faggots like you who are old fat men who never got over their childhood and want everything to be fun, innocent and bland
>>77374071

Muh batman uses cooler guns that are in his suit to kill
>>77372851
Bathands
>>77372406
I think the purple gloves and giant championship belt make him look like a shmuck.
>>77372406
Why is Optimus Prime just sitting there? Transform and do sumthin' god dammit!
>>77372406
Fucking enraged! Absolutely fucking enraged! The creators of this should be fucking ashamed! Light purple gloves just don't go with the rest of that suit!

Found the casual.
>>77373816
Anyone else feel No Man's Land is severely underrated? I'd say it and Cataclysm are required Batman reading
>>77382436
I'd read it, but I don't have 5 years to dedicate to it.
I mean fuck. It's huge.
My roommate read it all, he said it was great.
>>77382453
You can read it all in about a month if you pace yourself
>>77372794
I'd love to see a limited series about a Batman with golden age values.
