The extra-sized conclusion to Not-So-Great Scott Snyder's 100+ issues (if you count Eternal) of New52 Batman is here!
BvS: DoJ is hot garbage with the critics.
Can this much lauded, but deeply pretentious and plodding, run stick the landing?
Or will we be presented with yet another anti-climax?
I'm looking at you Court of Owl, Death of the Family and Endgame!
Who is Mr. Bloom?
What is the fate of Jim Gordon?
Will the Clown Prince of Crime retake his crown?
And most importantly, can we get Tom King all up in here for the love of God?!
More hyped for this desu.
Posting some variants to give people time to hop onboard.
Personally, I only buy variants if they're nifty.
>>81012216
Choo choo.
I predict shitstorm and Dami shitposter.
And this one's kind of lame.
hype
>>81012230
Right? I'm amazed there are people who buy all variants of one issue. I mean, why?
Are you going to give gay commentary for every image?
This one's okay, but it doesn't really scream 50 ISSUES to me.
Then again, mangakas don't give much of a damn or make a big deal when they reach 50 or a 100 chapters.
Food for thought.
Post the story bro
>>81012238
They can puke in this Bat-Sink!
Seriously, a BAT-SINK!
Did this show up in any previous issue?
>>81012252
You best curb that enthusiasm.
Check it. Bloom just let Gordon go. That's how we resolve that particular bukkake cliffhanger.
>>81012258
If I feel like commenting, yeah.
>>81012281
Yeah, bat-sink. Bruce is really batshit insane.
You're doing God's work, Anon.
>>81012281
>Beyond Batsuit.
Bruce should wear that one.
DRONE WARFARE SATIRE!!!!
>>81012279
Will do, bro.
>>81012182
>any run with slightly literary qualities
>pretentious
kill yourself nigga.
>>81012313
Man's got style otherwise.
>>81012317
Bat-God's work, anon!
I was supposed to storytime this.
Hell, I was at the Snyder-Capullo panel at C2E2.
>>81012318
That's old news, friend.
Like Lazarus Pits.
It's all about the Dionysium or whatever now!
>>81012358
He always had fine entrances, I'll admit.
>>81012377
You robbed me of a storytime before, Norrin Radical!
Consider this VENGEANCE!!!
>>81012255
Maybe they're dumb. Like this supercollider subplot.
>>81012404
>and Bruce holding flag, welcome to Battopia style
>>81012369
That was the new suit that was recently approved? fucking garbage
It's nothing personal, Gordon.
It's mostly because you're awful at everything.
>>81012417
Supercollider is nice big word and most of people have no idea what does it mean.
And it was awesome Wonder in Rise of Nations.
>>81012421
Oh say can you siiiiiiiiiiing?!
>>81012458
>enter scrappy boy sidekick v5.0
TWIST!
>>81012458
It's "Oh say, can you see?" retard
This week on Attack on Gotham!
>>81012429
Bloom would disagree.
>>81012462
And enter the Knock-Off Squad!
>>81012450
Plot device jargon in action.
>>81012524
>no big Banemecha
Disgrace.
You want retarded? How about this?!
>>81012198
ITS FINALLY COMING?!!?!!
>>81012547
I hope the previous page made you happy.
Cop-out time!
>>81012307
Thanks for storytime
And I like commentary. Some people have no fun.
>>81012434
is it normal that everytime Bruce talks I hear Kevin Conroy in my head?
>>81012558
Honestly, I really like this. It's just so goofy I can't help but smile.
Oh...oh God.
>>81012564
It did. That's fucking big Joker.
>personally love BvS
>critics hate it
>personally hate this Batman run
>critics love it
is this how it feels to be a contrarian?
>>81012563
Yup. This year.
I hope it's good. Grant's not known for his Wonder Woman stuff.
>>81012598
You're Welcome and Thanks.
>>81012614
To be fair, practically no one's known for their Wonder Woman stuff.
>>81012612
I feel you, man. I thought "hover boards" wouldn't become a thing, but they have and I hate that.
bruce does not say that duke is robin fake spolier!
BUT THE COMIC WAS BORING AND STUPI-
I AM GLAD THAT IT OVER
>>81012605
Why not? He's like, the best.
Look at him steal Jim's thunder again!
Thanks OP. You're a dope dude.
"God I hate this so so so bad!"
>>81012611
>>81012610
Then you're gonna love this!
>>81012664
>Snyder's mech fetish continues unabated
How many batmechs does this make throughout the run now?
Why Is The book So Bad?f I suffer, does that mean I deserve it?
>>81012664
Fuck, there's something about the finale to Snyder's run being giant mecha that makes me so fucking happy.
>>81012648
No problem, my gnarly home-slice.
>>81012664
Megabatzord! Awesome.
>>81012673
Not enough. You can't ever have enough mechas.
>>81012664
where did the fucking Bat Megazord came from, god I love this shit so much
>>81012678
Did he just FIND a giant bat mecha or did he take over joker mecha and paint it?
The man whose life mission is to beat people like you up is not your friend.
>>81012707
Sassy Batman makes my dick hard.
>>81012705
Batman works faster than paint shops in GTA.
>>81012673
Down by several at this point.
>>81012703
>>81012676
>>81012679
I hope you didn't get too attached.
>>81012705
Doesn't matter.
Joker again ? Snyder's run is terrible.
Trigger Warning!
>>81012727
Oh well, this issue has already been cool enough for me, let's see where it goes.
>>81012697
>>81012640
Anons, I...
>>81012736
Snyder's run of Batman is the best the character's been since Dini's 'Tec run.
>>81012697
Agreed!
>>81012759
YEAH DUKE BLIMPS GOT EXPLOSIVES
>>81012745
Up it seems.
>>81012763
hahah no it sucks.
>>81012558
Batman and Joker fusion
>>81012759
he does not say that he is robin..
>>81012775
Kirov reporting!
>>81012763
Nope.
>>81012783
Yup.
>>81012775
More or less.
Blooms actually kind of a cool villain. I kinda wish he wasn't this incredibly powerful figure, but a neat new Batman villain.
>>81012803
He's saying it here.
>>81012783
>>81012807
Plebs. Snyder's run is excellent. I say this as a reader of Batman comics since the late 80s.
Thank God It Is Over! Books so bad.
>>81012818
We're Larking now.
>>81012804
Hi Kirov!
>>81012823
Whoa, I like the run too, but excellent is a bit hyperbolic.
>>81012823
no it's like toothache..
>>81012829
Who raped you, anon?
Ha, bet you thought Daryl was still int he blimp, huh?
>>81012809
I hope you didn't get too attached.
>>81012829
And you'll never know who Bloom was!
Never! Ever!
>>81012823
>Capullo's run is excellent
Fixed that for you, chief
>>81012818
he is not bruce robin.bruce does not say that duke is his robin.
>>81012848
>get superpowers
>wreck havoc in city
>see Batman
>nopenopenope, powers are bad, I want to be law abiding citizen
>>81012862
Well damn. I wanted to know who he was.
>>81012470
That last panel is straight Looney Tunes, toppest of keks
You were a huge jerk to everyone you crossed over with and were utterly inept at your job(s), Gordon.
But it's good to see that you admit it.
>>81012845
Snyder'ass fanboy ?
>>81012870
I would too they've seen him fuck up worse shit
Oh just take the shot, you cantankerous, nicotine-lunged ginger.
>>81012864
True that.
>>81012870
My thoughts exactly.
>>81012877
"Tough luck, sucker."
-Snyder.
>>81012884
>Dat art with Jim stood on the rooftop
Beautiful
Badly set-up Chekhov Gunned down.
>>81012564
>>81012581
Why is Duke swirling around?
>>81012922
Well tough. The blast was so catastrophic that it changed the art style.
>>81012946
>Dat new Gotham architecture
The Red Stache Returns!
>>81012960
Same as it ever was.
What was Batmanium? Where the shit did it come from? I don't get what happened; did Jim use his suit too fire some kind of EMP and amplify it with the Batmanium?
>>81012977
Things I'd do to Alfred's daughter.
>>81012999
She's such a delicious brown it's not even funny
>>81012993
It's the new element that Geri's people made that they've been setting up for a few issues now.
>>81012999
I would play Frisbee! What about you?
>>81012993
>What was Batmanium?
Some superspecial allow from few issues ago.
And yeah, probably EMP or something like that through suit amplified with Batmanium.
>>81012999
>>81013010
She's great, easily the only one of Snyder's OCs I actually like. And yet, the one who will probably be swept aside and forgotten about while Harper and Duke get pushed down our throats some more. Kill me.
"I mean, I did most of the work in the end, as always. But you tried, old pal."
Dude can barely keep a straight face.
>>81012736
MUH CLOWN DARKNESS!!
>>81012999
That accent, delicious brown, and short hair!
>>81013025
Think she existed pre-Nu52 as well, but was repurposed much like Dr. Death.
>>81013025
I'd even let her be in Batgirl and Birds of Prey, anywhere. It beats going to Limbo,
Found the leak.
>>81013033
Isn't that Joker's mission statement, though. That we're all one bad day away from becoming him?
>>81013060
Was about to post the same thing.
>>81013060
But he's wrong. That's Batman's mission statement.
Sorry, babe. But Batman only boinks gingers when his foster son is dating them.
You call it sloppy seconds, he calls it "prep time."
Next stop, Starfire!
>>81013040
Yeah, she did.
>Julia Remarque (Earth-One)
Showed up in 1981, final appearance five years later.
>>81013085
And I was sure she's Mr. Bloom. I suck at mysteries.
>>81013025
She's not. She's a repurposed character that Seeley introduced in Eternal that Snyder liked.
Bruce set me up. You all saw it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPZkBLTHWv4
>>81013091
Yep, I remember her, because she was in the original Black Mask storyline.
Well that amnesia arc was a tremendous waste of time, wasn't it? Even worse than t-shirt Superman vs. Vandal Savage's bastards and that storyline was three times longer.
>>81013114
No worries. Snyder sucks at them too.
>>81013124
>You could have been that, B...
>That person.
And it was enough.
>>81013143
New 52 hit Julia hard. Changed her skin color, hair length and nationality.
I loved you in Man from UNCLE, but Henry, you are an AWFUL Superman.
>>81013161
I don't get it
>>81013152
>>81012369
Kek, even the other artist didn't like the new belt, so they changed it.
>>81013182
Snyder just straight up saying that Gordon knows Bruce is Batman
>>81013179
God Cavil was great in Man from UNCLE
What a great film
>>81013152
Well, OP, thanks for posting. Any thoughts on the issue?
>>81013182
Gordon corrected himself from calling Batman something else starting with a B.
Do the math.
>>81013167
Well, she's been away a long time. Had time to get a tan.
I hear Captain Stingaree's going to be a transgendered Asian with mild autism.
>>81012818
>>81012837
>>81013047
Oh, boy time for some Lark to go with Fan Favorite Bluebird
>>81013152
God I hope this bitch gets left in this run
>>81013196
He's spent the whole issue shitting on it.I feel like I've experienced it before.
>>81012>>81013201
Wait, what is this?
>>81013191
>>81013197
That's fucking garbage
>>81013201
God I hope whoever takes over just ignores all this garbage.
A critically acclaimed, best selling run, and yet /co/ hates it intensely.
I guess now they know how I felt about Morrison's run.
>>81012216
>>81012230
>>81012243
>Daughtry
The singer.
>>81013201
Wait a tick, what's going on? I thought it was over
>>81012558
Eva?
>>81013204
She's drawn as hottie. That's all I can say about her. Her backstory annoyed me for some reason.
>>81013245
Anything written by Morrison is alpha and omega.
>>81013201
That might possiblybe the worst thing I've ever seen
>>81013245
We've known. There's always someone in Morrison threads who has to voice his distaste for him.
>>81013250
This is from a different issue
>>81013196
I liked the giant robot fight, but how everything else came together was pretty terrible.
Though I half-expected it, Bloom being an ambiguous (and intentional if the epilogue is to be believed) non-entity was a lazy and disappointing choice on the part of Snyder.
Whole run was pretty bad honestly and would've been absolutely despised if not for Capullo's art.
But the best part was reading it with you guys and that's why I did it.
>>81013250
That's Endgame, when Batman was rebooting his mind. He saw bunch of "realities" and such. There was also "reality" with Batman leading Arkhamites.
>>81013250
Bluebird and Lark will both leave a great mark on the Batman legacy.
>>81012991
It's usually drawn as some weird, creepy abomination. Here it actually looks nice
>>81013299
Oops, sorry. Blended stories in my mind.
>>81013293
Yeah, Snyder's run was bad. Now let's hope King is the next, so we can have Batman without stupid plots and horrible OCs
>>81013047
This Image Again? Please, no...
If Damian remains Robin, just give me the future of this image.
>>81013301
die
>>81013350
bruce does not say that duke is his robin.iti s a fake spolier
thanks for the storytime.
i give it oh 30 issues before no memory joker remeber hes....well himself and shows up again to hook up with his batwaifu again.
>>81012182
>>81012369
Huh. I guess the suit on the cover isn't the one revealed inside.
I just can't get with Snyder's style or his ideas. As a hardcore Batman fan, I've never been less interested in the franchise as I am now.
>>81012369
Wait, Capullo got to design two new Bat-suits in a row. That doesn't seem fair.
>>81013350
Duke is not robin.
the future of this image.
>>81013475
Well thankfully we're getting someone new. Or perhaps not thankfully. Scary as it may be, they may find someone even worse.
>>81012369
I don't dislike this new batsuit. The orange borders are a nice contrast.
>>81013545
BASED KING can't write bad!
It'll be hilarious how fast people will turn on him.
>>81013560
I'd prefer it were Yellow. Orange doesn't feel right on Batman.
>>81013539
Thank you.
KING loves the bat Family.
Snyder is cancer for batfamily.
>>81013564
I seriously doubt it'll be King, but yeah it doesn't matter who they pick. Whoever it is will have a vocal group of dedicated detractors, that's just how big characters are because of "not muh" and varying characterizations from decades of writing.
Where are the batkids Tim; Damian Jason and Dick ?
>>81013652
Snyder hate the batkids.
>>81013656
They're redundant now that we have the perfect Robin in Harper Row.
>>81013669
Bruce says Harper Row is better than Dick :
Dick ,jason.tim and Damian they died for him.they bleed for him.but bruce says the boys are not good enough :(
>>81012369
Love it desu
>>81013698
If you are that really annoying Damianfag please get some help. I love him also, but you come across really unhinged and trust me this shitposting is not doing the character any favours.
>>81013769
jason fan y<ou nedds A LIVE:
>>81013769
Shitposting or not, it just cements my theory that characterfags are cancer.
I really expected the Robins to be in this?
Seriously, what the heck Snyder?
>>81013769
BUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH JASON fanboy this shitposting is not doing the character any favours.
>>81013826
Snyder is a cunt.
>>81012369
>We still didn't get rid of the lines.
Fuck No.
>>81013826
Looks like this dark age of Batman isn't ending any time soon.
will we be presented with yet another anti-climax? god no.
>>81012558
Didn't this show up before? In Tomasi's run on Tec?
>OP hates anyone called Snyder
lol
Seriously, Snyder is cancer.
>>81013883
With Joker's Daughter?
>>81012182
Storytime #49 pls, I missed it and are stationed so I can't just go to the LGS.
>>81013902
>yfw he moves to Marvel in some yearsInb4 company wars
Rebirth" now.
>>81013908
I think so.
Hold up. People are complaining about Superheavy being bad? I cannot wait for this to become the better of the #50 issues that releases today and the Tynion issue
>>81013912
It's shit. here it is anyway: https://desustorage.org/co/thread/79736532/#79736532
>>81012837
Capullo knew this was going to be his last Batman (Bruce Wayne) page, and boy did he let it count.
>>81012837
I think the suit actually looks a lot better here with the blue highlights on the black areas.
>>81013047
>>81013124
>>81013152
I've been disappointed by the amnesia and the overbearing gay subtext. I was disappointed by Duke being shoved into the plot. I was disappointed by the new suit. I was disappointed by the "reveal" of Bloom's identity. I was disappointed by Jim's hackneyed speech when taking out Bloom.
But these three pages? These... are actually touching. Thanks for the storytime, OP. It was fun.
>>81012744
>sfx isn't *BLOOM*
>>81013060
Wasn't the point of The Killing Joke and even The Dark Knight that people are stronger than that?
>>81013060
that's what he says, but the majority of batstories on the subject all conclude that it takes someone special in the wrong way to catch the same madness he has
not to mention Joker fails to grasp that he's already fucked up as soon as he tries to force that bad day to happen. Take Killing Joke. the backstory we see for Joker has him crack because his life falls to pieces for no reason. No one wanted it to happen, there was no grand design, it just happened because chaos. The knowledge that someone is trying to make you crack grounds you. When you cry out 'why?' the answer is 'the Joker did it' and that makes sense. Whereas there was no sense to what Joker suffered.
>>81012182
I actually liked this, but it sure would have been better if Snyder had stopped with the words words words and let Capullo work his magic some more.
>>81012358
not too shabby
Batman costume? ehh, Well, it influenced by the white/yellow Batman(The mayor bruce wayne) of other world.. yellow colors with batman.
At a minimum, it is not a disaster as many costumes from DC YOU.
The mustache is back..... and thereby his position of commissioner.
DUKE... Duke do not replace Damian as Robin(is his tittle), or ...
I will prayfor what the Joker again wanting to repeat what he did with Jason Todd. This time ... No return from the dead.

>>81015043
that's not how you get rid of a Robin
where's damian
why am i left with more questions than answers
why do i feel like this didn't go anywhere yet implied at various point and characters that there's more
all to go full circle to a status quo idea of batman and his city explicitly in words and an off he goes into the sunset moment
why is the new artist absolute and utter shit
why did snyder throw loose ends into my face

Oh of course Duke is someone special. Fuck off SNyder
>>81015502
It blew my mind when /co/ pointed out how Batman was Orion's avatar in FC.
Both their masks even had pointy-eared flourishes.
>>81015127
I like to think that Batman's War Zone criticism during this issue was a jab at Stephanie Brown.
>>81012581
Why is he stuck there
>>81012807
How did he get rid of the handcuffs to the door?
>>81015781
By the power of bad writing
>>81012946
It's like Gordon's never been in a big city before
>>81015845
this was back in the 1920's, he hadn't
>>81015840
You just don't read comics properly
>>81015781
See>>81012645 the door is crushed by Bloom but he still has the rope on his hand
Nrama: Batman said to Duke, "I have an offer for you." I think a lot of fans can guess what that offer is, especially with the costume that Duke wears. Yet there's already someone in that role. Is Batman offering Duke the position of Robin?
Snyder: I think you guys will be surprised. We wanted to try something a little bit new with this one. It has echoes of that, but it's actually something a little bit different that myself and the writer on Batman and a couple of the other writers came up with — a way of sort of spinning the mythology a bit. So we're really, really excited about it.
Nrama: Was this something that, when you introduced Duke, you kind of had in mind? Or was it something new that arose when you were more recently working with other Batman writers?
Snyder: It was a little bit of both. From the beginning, I've been hesitant about the possibility of him becoming officially Robin.
I think that he would fit, because of the way he approaches the mantle. I think he'd make a great Robin for that reason.
But I also feel like… I guess part of me wondered if there was a way to create something new with him as well, so that it would just be another figure in that role, as exciting as that can be.
So I think we landed someplace that gives us an opportunity to do something with him that hasn't been tried before. And it opens up the mythology of Robin and that stuff a bit, and gives us a bit of history and interesting elements that have gone unexplored to this point.

>>81013152
Boy, you are determined to dislike this run, aren't you?
With the humorless nitpicking you've done in this thread, you could've made the best Batman stories sound bad. They're comics, they'll never be flawless/amazing.
As it stands, this run was at least enjoyable.
>>81012198
>Morrison
Ok I'm genuinely hyped
>>81012182
Endgame and Court of Owls had somewhat open endings but they were pretty climatic. Probably his best arcs
. ROBIN IS DAMIAN BRUCE, IS YOUR SON. Duke, search another title:
>>81015495
I like that you took the comment so personally.
There were some teases for Duke as Robin but God I hope not,I'm done with DC if that happens,they've disappointed me enough already.
>>81013201
>It is possible to make Harper look more retarded
Bravo DC, Bravo
Scott Snyder isn't my favorite Batman writer.
>>81016937
Anyone who says Scott Snyder is their favourite Batman writer needs to read more Batman
>>81013826
Was it ever explained where they are? Did the entirety of the Batfamily go on holiday around this time.
>>81016953
This!
>>81016775
There is still a Dark Knight Returns storytime in the catalog: try reading that or any better Batman run(O'Neil or even Dixon are better than this) and you'll understand this was not enjoyable but just mediocre if you feel generous
Scott Snyder says Bruce does not love his children-.they are not good enough.
>>81017053
Is this one butthurt Damian fan making all these comments
>>81016887
Your that psycho Damian fan, I recognise the broken English.

No, no. It'll be "get a. LIve!"
>>81017053
Batman God, what a Mary Sue.
Batman ultimate Mary Sue team Duke and Harper . -
>>81016887
if you bother to scroll up just a little bit you see a quote from Sydner that he's not going to be Robin but something new, like how Barbara became Oracle
>>81017078
Scott Snyder ass kiss FAN ?
>>81016961
Rob Quad all went home to lick their wounds
Dick went with the Court of Owls
Jason went off with Arsenal
Damien went back to Wayne Manor, told Alfred a story about when he was with the league of assassins, and then fell asleep
no one gives a fuck about what Tim does

Cautiously optimistic. I hated Morrison's run on Batman but I adore his Superman. Hoping he can get Wondy right

He's still going to be Batman's partner. I just hope the batman writer keeps Damian around and that they write Duke well. I've enjoyed King's writing of Duke in Robin War and Bermejo's didn't bother me. Snyder's handling of him has been shit.Also kill Harper

YOUR ARE THE Jason psycho fan of CB- kaimaciel or A22

the fact that he approached him as Bruce rather than Batman makes me think the job has more to do with the corporate side of things

I'd like to agree with you butI'm a pretty pessimistic person andDuke already knows Batman is Bruce.
Well, that brought back the status quo with a bow up top. I think the only way Snyder could have done so more would have been by giving Alfred a prothetic hand like Luke gets in Empire. Other than that though, fuck you guys. I really like the new costume. Its simpler and sleeker than the shit Lee gave us to chew on for the last 5 years.
So can we close the book on Snyder now? How many terrible stories does he need to tell?
