>>81180329
He worked for the CIA. Who are you to doubt him?
That's called being nice, OP. Like when Johns pretended Venditti did a good job on GL.
>>81180329
Of course he does, its marketing speal
>>81180356
And. Here. We. Go.
>>81180372
>>81180363
He seemed so genuine when he said it though
>>81180356
Damn, he's pretty dorky.
fuck him .
>>81180409
So did Johns
>>81180442
Get out Damianfag
Let him have is own opinion. There are tons of worse choices.
>>81180329
Is tom king really an actual king or he just uses royalty titles as a nickname?
>>81180329
It was though. Snyder's Batman kind of redefined the character. Maybe not the best ever but definitely the best in a long time.
>>81180356
Hand scratching the back of his neck is a telltale sign of lying. He's saying that for the cameras.
urgg no.
>>81180356
>O-oh man this stories gone on way too long, s-sorry
>So as a member of the CIA I head to get pretty close to the horrors of the world but not become a horror myself and sometimes I failed
Nigga went from 0-100 real fuckin fast
>>81180474
Maybe he panicked and didn't want to say Morrison/didn't have an answer but why not just go with a safe pick like O'Neil/Adams?
>>81180442
Yes sir
>>81180356
Fucking lol, when he first came out on stage he accidentally sat on the armrest
What a dork
>>81180471
How is best in a long time equivocal to being the best ever? Especially factoring in Morrison's is better anyway, despite what contrarianfags on /co/ say.
>>81180471
Morrison wasn't that long ago
>>81180359
What are his thoughts on Bill Wilson andJimmy Olsen?
>>81180471
>Simultaneous to Morrison's
Kill yourself
>>81180509
You think the casual comicbook reader knows about a Batman run in the 70's? He has to dumb it down for a wide audience
I see nothing particularly wrong with this.
Whether or not he believes it, it doesn't really affect how he'll write Batman (outside of using elements from Snyder's run, which he has to).
King writes his own stuff in his own way. He won't be carefully cribbing from Snyder, if that's what you're all afraid of.
I HOPE HE WRITES HIS OWN BATMAN AND IS NOT SCOTTS CLONE:
>>81180329
>>81180356
It's called being nice, anon.
Snyder says nice things about him on twitter and King can't ruin that.
>>81180409
Acting.
>>81180356
>Finch on first arc
>Janin on second arc
Thank God, no inconsistencies in the middle of arcs
>>81180474
He was in the CIA, why would he have such an obvious tell? He obviously just actually had to remove some skin cells
>>81180573
I hope that he treated damian with respect.
>>81180623
No wonder Finch was pulled off Wodner Woman and that title started to get fill ins
He must've left pretty early to start working on it
>>81180471
Nigga wat
>>81180623
Stuff like this and Wonder Woman is the best way too approach it, I hope more teams thought like this
>>81180645
He could have just been an analyst or negotiator. There's nothing out there saying he was a field agent.
I hope King writes his own stuff .
I hope he does not forget ,that's Damain only 10 years old.
>>81180702
To said that he doesn't start drawing Nightwing until the second arc too
So I'm guessing most titles are going to be doing it?
>>81180623
How do they even have time to draw if the book is bimonthly? Guessing the arcs are like three issues long?
Kingfrags.
>>81180744
Almost every artist started early. That's why all the March and April books have filler creative teams.
>>81180573
And also:
As you can tell from Grayson and even the WonderCon announcement event, he's a huge Batman/DC nerd. He reads fucking everything.
The idea that he's going to heavily lean on things from the past 5 years -- even though Rebirth gives him access to almost everything in Batman's ~75 years of existence -- is pure nonsense.
>>81180719
He was in Afghanistan wasn't he? You don't go into conflict zones and not see some shit.
>>81180744
Everyone started early. So yeah, about 3/4 issues an arc probably unless its like Wondy which for artists is just a typical kind of monthly schedule
>>81180569
Fuck all these writers being shills, you can stay positive about your company without banal shilling
>>81180796
So you have no fucking clue what you're talking about, okay.
>>81180847
Nigga what?
>>81180356
>a kid asked him why he doesn't write spider-man
lol
>>81180956
>Tom King will never save Spider-man from the tyranny of Dan Slott
>>81181005
He can't even save Hal from Venditti
>>81181005
>Blocked :)
>>81181005
Did you mean Hickman?
So how soon until /co/ hates this guy and pretends he was never good? I give it until the end of the year
>>81181472
>people will be pretending like my husbando is bad
it hurts
>>81181472
It's already happening
>>81181472
By the end of the first issue if Duke is somewhat prominent in it
>>81181491
agreed
>>81181510
I'm hoping he knows better than that (not that I really want that much of Damian either honestly.)
>>81181656
King Damian is Cute and Fun though
>>81181656
He already said that Duke is going to be Batman's "Robin", i.e. sidekick, and he's gonna explore how Damian feels about it
>>81180356
he's dorky and kawaii
>>81181472
Hopefully we'll just get over guy like Bitch Ewingthere must always be a Bitch King
>>81181906
Just get one* guy
>>81180739
They are. Gleason was pulled from his Robin series too. Mahnke was missing from his series.
>>81181472
>So how soon until /co/ hates this guy and pretends he was never good?
The more /co/ talks about it, the more likely it'll happen. It's basically being forced at this point.
>>81182070
Maybe the more we talk about it, the more annoyed people get, so the turn never happens
>>81181005No one wil. Now cry to your bed faggot.
>>81182093
>using /co/ntrarianism against itself
flawless
>>81182124
It's foolproof
>>81182124
>>81182159
Great, now I think it's bound to fail.
>>81182172
Did we say flawless and foolproof?
We meant /co/ is so much more intelligent than that and will never fall for it.
>>81182172
I can't tell if you're doing it now or not
>>81182212
>>81182232
Fuck you, /co/ is stupid and we will too fall for it.
I hate Tom King Snyder's dog.
>>81182642
I thought Orlando was the one with the dog?
>>81182689
And it's a cute corgi too
>>81181510
Tom is dead to me now- Scan?
I don't care much for Duke, mostly because I thought the entire We Are Robin storyline was wasted potential, but mostly I think most people don't want him as Robin because Damian keeps getting shafted. Even if they share the roll or w/e, it's more chances for DC to shuffle Damian off to the background and not use him. Duke doesn't need to be shoehorned into the batman mythos,
>>81180359
I really want him to write a Bane arc.
>>81182980
I hope Tom King does not forget that Damian is not only batmans Robin -but also his son-
Why isn't Damian Wayne dead like he's supposed to be?
>>81182980
>Damian keeps getting shafted.
He'll be in 2 books post rebirth regularly. Will show up in Nightwing and Batman. DC animation is pushing the fuck out of him. Just had a solo series. How's he getting shafted?
And don't mention Eternal or bat run. Snyder's an idiot and Tynion is as well.
>>81182980
Damian is a fucking minority too, so the diversity angle for it is completely retarded. I hate that minority is now "dark skin only". They should draw Damian more swarthy
>>81184312
They should probably have Damian interact with at least some Arabic/Bedouin culture for an arc or so, to remind people that he's not just carrying Wayne DNA.
>>81183453
lazarus pits
for real, if anyone has a free pass to just get chucked in a lazarus pit, it's the son of Talia Al Ghul
>>81184312
>Simpletons see the world in black and white only.
>>81183486
>Damian keeps getting shafted.
The problem is that he has barely worked with Bruce, really. First Bruce was dead, then it was Damian and then Bruce lost his memory. Even in B&R run there are only about 20 issues where they are actually together.
So I'm pissed that once again they are separeted, for no good reason.
>>81180538
I could see King not being a big fan of Morrison's Batman. He might not enjoy meta stuff. I wonder what he thinks of Dickbats; a true progression of the character, or shoehorning him into a role he never needed or wanted? Or what he thinks of Prodigal for that matter.
It would be kind of ironic if he didn't care for Morrison's run but liked Snyder's, Snyder is a big Morrison fan and used a lot of elements of his run.
>>81181472
We Are Robin is great and Duke is totally fine as a character. I've never liked the "durr we should have a black Robin" fuckers but I would totally be cool with Duke taking the mantle if that's the direction they're going. WAY better than Harper goddamn Row.
>>81185181
i HATe duke and Row
>>81185108
I will not buy Tom Kings book. Duke doesn't need to be shoehorned into the batman Family.
>>81185108
tom King says Batman will no longer care about Damian? Robin or not Robin Damian is Bruce son.
He is 10 years old -where is his home?
Is Batman the world’s worst dad?
>>81180329
>Snyder's zombie no thanks.
>>81186895
Oh, we always hated Tom King, didn't we /co/?
>>81187035
>not recognizing Dami shitposter who's on the roll ever since anon leaked page with DUKE IS NEW ROBIN
>>81187066
and fuck him fuck you .,
>>81187066
No the guy your replying to remembered to use a capital letter at the start of a sentence. This>>81186751 is the Damian shitposter with poor English skills.
>>81187098
fuck you predo
>>81180329
I mean, I like Snyder's Batman. A lot.
But that is just plain dumb. There was plenty of fuckups - a lot of good stuff, sure, but claim that it's best is idiotic.
>>81187098
Hard for me to follow. One time sentence starts with capital letter, other time it starts with dot and shit. But whatever. It's 2016, world is ready for black "Robin".
>>81180569
What wide audience? What the fuck are you talking about? Do you seriously think DC writer for a ComicVine interview has to dumb things down or something?
Snyder's Batman the best ? ßnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
>>81187128
I hope he dies...
>>81180559
>>81180539
>>81180509
>>81180538
Smelling Morrisonfags. Seriously, it wasn't objectively that good. To be honest, both Morrison and Snyder's runs were good, but they're not even in top 10.
Snyder's Batman sucks.
>>81180471
>redefined batman
In what way? And all his statements on the character have been done befoe just not as hamfisted and in your face as Snyder was doing it.
>>81180573
>He won't be carefully cribbing from Snyder, if that's what you're all afraid of.
TO be fair SNyder stated similar comments about Morrison's run and we all know how that ended up
>>81187155
Literally list top 10 right now faggot.
Snyder makes me a Batman hater ,his batman is worse as batfleck.
>>81181510
Duke is on the cover and in red. He'll be prominent
>>81187225
Batleck?
>>81181906
Ewing is really overrated though.
>>81183486
>Will show up in Nightwing and Batman
>and Batman
Source? I know he'll be showing Teen Titans as well
Tom "master of subtlety" King's run is going to be like night and day compared to Scott "subtext is text repeated loudly and often" Snyder.
>>81181714
We don’t know for sure.
>>81187268
TK said he'll explore the repercussions of Negro becoming Robin and how Damian reacts to it.
>>81180359
> He worked for the CIA
He strikes me as the type of dude that immediately tells everyone he was in the CIA.
Source?
Nightwing is again Damians father ?
I LIKE HIM MORE THAN BATMAN THIS IS OK FOR ME :)
I will buy Nightwing now.. goodbye batman.
>>81187279
HAHA HAHA HAHA
Nigga we were all hot as fuck when Snyder was on Detective and he gave a fuck. Same thing will happen with King, screenshot this. I give him 1 year.
>>81187327
Is there any other source to this than the one tweet I have seen? While I don't doubt its veracity, I'd like to hear more from King himself.
>>81187339
Dick to me seems more like a foster dad to Damian then a brother. "
>>81187327
I asked for a source.
Dick is totally Damian's overprotective dad. Damian is eleven. He is literally a child. Literally a “boy wonder.”
>>81187383
What, my word's not enough? I wouldn't lie.
>>81187351
I think the problem is less people turning on them than a much wider, more autistic audience suddenly being exposed to them.
I doubt the people complaining about Snyder knew who he was before New 52 Batman, and I doubt a majority of the people who will complain about King have been on the love train through Grayson, Vision, Sheriff of Babylon and Omega Men.
>>81180356
Holy shit check the body languge.
This guy has seen some shit
>>81180474
These are the eyes of a man who has bedded death.
Nice company war, bros.
>>81188334
>I doubt the people complaining about Snyder knew who he was before New 52 Batman
I definitely didn't.But I only started reading comics with the New 52.
>>81180719
A negotiator certainly wouldn't have a tell
>>81188600
>So as a member of the CIA I head to get pretty close to the horrors of the world but not become a horror myself and sometimes I failed
>>81185181
This. At least Duke has a character arc and whatnot. Harper just sorta showed and jumped to the head of the line.
