That's not how they're doing things. They're also not switching off every issue, which is another misconception (only Wonder Woman is doing that).
The Rebirth biweeklies have scripts finished and given to artists about 4 months in advance of the print date. From there, it seems the artists work on an arc-based schedule, where they get about 3 issues in a batch, months before they're due, and then finish them.
At this point, for example, I think King is finishing up Batman #9-10 right now.
>>83368106
Oh, fuck me, this is as bad as the Mr. Freeze retcon.

Thanks for sharing.

I've read them. He's not why those comics are good (or mediocre for Dark Victory). Seriously, no one has ever brought up Calendar Man in any thread ever for the past decade before this story. If you want to shitpost about something, there's surely a /sug/ up.
Haven't even read this. What shit did they changed/retcon? Put it in spoilers if necessary.

>>83368336
He was exaggerating.
>>83368117
Yeah, Marvel said the same thing...until eventually time catched up and they ended up with a ton of filler artists, rushed art and zero art development.
Look at the first issues of Capullo's run and then compare them to the last few ones as he found out what worked, what didn't work and he made the characters his, You don't get that kind of development on bi-monthlies.
What the fuck is this shit? And fuck Duke.
Not bad. An interesting twist on Calendar Man.

So, he reacts to temperature? Like those tulip bulbs that need cold winter to grow in spring? Temperature Man? Thermometer Man?

Ahhhhh yes, the smell of butthurt. It is delicious!
>>83368453

Finch will be alternating with Janin (who did this issue) since its double shipping.
Shalvey is only doing back-ups in All-Star, JRJr is doing the first main story. I think they said Jock, Tula Lotay, and Sean Murphy would do future All-Star stories.

>>83368576
I really liked it too, but is the Calendar Man plotline just gonna be dropped? It seems to end on a cliffhanger.
Oh my god, I was going to buy this. I was really looking forward to it. But everything about it is terrible, from inexplicably superpowered Calendar Man to more pushing Duke Whoeverthefuck into the overcrowded Bat-Family to the Poseriffic art to Bruce Wayne randomly risking his life to do pull-ups to the temperature being hotter than it's ever been in recorded history to having Calendar Man as the villain but never exploring his actual actions or motivations to referencing Year One with the pose kicking the tree in an intensely inferior way to dwelling feeding the bats under the manor for god knows what reason for two pages...
Calendar Man's greatest claim to fame was literally being one of Batman's most dangerous non-powered foes, and King just threw all of that away. How can people be fine with this? Are you all pleb casuals?
This was pretty mediocre desu. I didn't really like it.So turn on King begins now?
>>83368617
I stealing this.
>>83368631
I don't think it's a cliffhanger given the theme of how things are cyclical etc. I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up in the next arc with Gotham and Gotham Girl making their debut rounding him up or something, but I also wouldn't be surprised if we don't hear from him again for a while.
>>83368634
You must be fun at parties
This wasn't good so I'm going to blame it on Snyder. The real test is the ACTUAL #1.
>>83368333
What book was this again? I remember reading it
>>83368649
king doesn't care about previous characterizations he just does what ever and everyone says 10/10 capekino at its finest

Very short too
>>83368649
Remember when the Rouges all got powers? That was really dumb
when did alfred get his hand back?
>>83367977
They should just make Duke Robin since Damian isn't going to be in this run.
>>83368649
No, Calendar's main claim to fame was literally just showing up as a side character n TLH and DV, neither of which necessitated him being non-powered. People claiming otherwise are shitposting.
>>83368649
Out of Batman's ridiculously huge rogues gallery about halfway full of non-metas and you want to argue fucking Calendar Man is the most dangerous? This has to be bait.
>>83367739
It started.

>>83368683
I'm not gonna pretend I'm ever fun, but I'm also not gonna pretend this comic made a good impression on me.

I was hoping King's Batman will be more of a detective solving human crimes. Instead up against some villains superpower gimmick. Now I'm worried.
>>83368801
The Rebirth one-shots are just to let you know what the status quo is going to be like. i.e. Green Lanterns gives some brief characterization for Simon and Jessica, Green Arrow shows him and Dinah getting together, this shows Duke as Lark, Superman will show him being a dad I assume, etc.

>>83368901
So Batman's new statue quo is:Rich again, Duke, Alfred, villains with superpower, no mention on he rest of the family?
It was OK by me, nothing out of this world but its real short so it's hard to say much about the upcoming run.
I remain hopefull

That will be covered in each of the family's individual books.
Is /co/ going to be autistic or act like Snyder DIDNT write the majority of this issue? It reads just like him except for how Janin was told to panel.

It adds a thematic synergy with the whole rebirth movement of DC at the moment. There are also plenty of stories you could come up with that play with the idea of a cyclical nature/being reborn.
>still no Win-O'
>>83369079
Go on
>>83369092
Yes, cyclical nature, being reborn, metaphorically. How are the stories or even that metaphor helped by this guy shedding his skin for no explained reason?

No he can't fly obviously the explosion of the bomb blew him out of the water.
And then some of it is just common sense stuff. He'd call Alfred's phone because he's away from the house and cant hear the door bell. Think a little when you read.
I actually don't like Batman now .

You and the rest of tumblr, it seems. That's never going to happen though, and it actually isn't that easy to write a good slice of life - it'll be fine for 5 issues, tops, and then it'll just be boring again.
I don't know if I've ever seen this much shitposting in one storytime thread before. Hopefully it dies down after the #1s when the only people who show up are the ones who want to read comics.

As of late I remember the days leading up to Black Panther #1, but everyone stopped talking about it after it came out. People will be talking about King being shit for the next two weeks until the real #1 comes out.
I hope it's good, for the sake of the quality of posts on this board.
>>83369482
I was being sarcastic.
People sometimes appear to have this strange vision of the bat family acting quirky on slice of life and everyone being OOC, acting like some animu rejects.

>>83369211
Agreed. Don't act like Calendar Man was a good villain before this; the holiday gimmick is very limited. Him being like the living New Years Baby and constantly dying and being reborn, new and improved, can lead to some possibly interesting stuff.
>>83369510
Kind of weird for a one shot too. They never wrapped up the story with calendar man

>>83368002

This part's fine, that's what the whole issue is about - rebirth means the fight is never over, but they keep going anyways.
My biggest problem is this >>83369602 though, the constant dicksucking on Batman. The whole "that's impossible for a human to do! Fuck you, I'm Batman" is practically old hat at this point, but I still never liked it, and I was a fool for expecting something different with Rebirth.

Godamnit Why are Bat writers autists nowadays? Calendar Man was over the top gimmicky villain that was campy but possessed a threat too. Why does everything have to have some metaphor or pseud philosophy. Literally the last fun Batman writer we had was Morrison. Fuck this.
there are four fucking robins running around and not one of them could be fucked to be batman's sidekick so he enlisted a totally-not-robin, wow

Do you even read the page you're quoting? Between 'Alfred, max charge' and his ears literally going electric, it's clear that it's his suit doing it. It's still fucking stupid, but regular Batman stupid, not meta.
