Just finished reading it. Before all the shitposting gets in here, I have to say it's much better than #1. Definitely paced like a weekly book right now but the writing is picking up. Not a fan of Finch's art but hopefully Janin and other fill-ins will resolve that issue.

King writes a great Alfred and Gordon, too. Overall, not too shabby.

>>
>>84293677
Could have sworn he didn't, but I guess it's (slightly) healther than the alternatives. As long as he doesn't start fucking vaping.
>>
>>84293509
this is the first the from King I haven't liked
fuck
I'll give him two arcs
but will he even last?
>>
>>84293677

Gordon used to smoke a pipe in the early Batman comics, as it was pretty fashionable at the time. Then it became smoking cigarettes when pipes stopped being trendy.
>>
>>84293740
Nothing really happened...
>>
>>84293728
If he goes True Detective 2 it'd be classic
someone asks him to vape
"nah not for me, its like sucking Cyborg's dick."
>>
>>84293740

What's the problem, not pandering enough with man-service like Grayson?
>>
>>84293756
exactly

compared to his other titles it seems just light
and compared to other Rebirth titles it's not doing much either
>>
>>84293524
Most satisfying thing in this arc thus far.
>>
>>84293765
Grayson is my least favorite work from him actually
I think Seeley is the reason is was so fan servicey
but Omega Men was really good, Vision has been amazing, I really like Sheriff of Babylon too
just not super feeling like there's much of his voice in this
maybe he's staying safe while setting up a status-quo to subvert it later but right now it's not what I expected King to do with the coolest gig in comics
>>
>>84293780

It's a slow burning story, primarily setting up stuff. It's like Sheriff of Babylon in that regard.
>>
>>84293809
but the Sheriff is a page turner and this just isn't.

I shouldn't be rolling my eyes at this. There should be better ways of making Batman senpai-material.

Babylon started out slow and then escalated. Same thing will happen here as we come nearer to the Monster Men crossover and shit starts to go down.
>>
>>84293496

>>84293509
Holy shit Based. This issue was definitely better than first but pacing is still very sluggish for a King book.
>>
>>84293357
>You were letting him get too far
>But you would've caught him anyway

What's his problem?
>>
>>84293525
He's not Gotham. But I get where you're going with this.
>>
>>84293949
>pacing is still very sluggish for a King book.

I don't know, Omega Men felt far more sluggish to me until around issue three or four.
>>
>>84293819
>>84293911
Eh. Sheriff was still pretty engrossing, and it featured some great visual techniques to make the "slow" parts exciting and even some cool narrative techniques.

Batman is, so far, exceedingly straightforward. Honestly, I think King is playing it WAY too safe with his use of comic technique, as opposed to just writing from his heart as he did with Grayson and with his other comics.

Part of me thinks it's because his other books sold like shit so he thinks the average audience can't handle a little sophistication. But it's a bit silly: of all places, he should be writing as weird as hell with Batman because the book will sell regardless AND it'll differentiate him from other runs automatically, nevermind plot.
>>
>>84293951
He literally explained it. He would have caught him, but not before that homeless got trampled
>>
>>84293951
He wasn't going to catch him in time
>>
>>84293338
This is why I hate Batman nowadays.
>>
>>84293951
The homeless man was gonna get killed. Avoiding civilian casualities should be a priority for every hero
>>
>>84293971
At least it was smart, characterization was on point. Here King offers nothing. Honestly if this was some other guy I'd have given this 8.5 but by King's standards, this feels meh.
>>
>>84293382
>Inc. costume
PUT IT BACK ON
>>
>>84293984

You're forgetting Rebirth titles are meant to pander old school fans who didn't like New52. It's pretty clear they've chosen to do a very traditional Batman for the time being, to get people to stick to it, which is entirely fine. It's still Batman, King is a reliable writer and so far it's entirely readable, clearly building to a Monster Men event. Not being amazing right off the bank is hardly as big of an offense if you have any patience.
>>
>>84293873
Isn't Seeley known for T&A comics?
>>
>>84293488
I fucking hate that Batman is goddamn magic.
>>
>>84294010
>characterization was on point. Here King offers nothing

Gordon and Alfred's characterization is pretty damn good here, how come you're dismissing it in Batman but praise Omega Men for doing the same?

>>
>>84294067
Ehhhhhh. Kyle's take in Omega Men was wholely new, Batman isn't. Unless King can offer that in Batman or at least strong enough characterization, I won't accept it. Honestly nobody since Morrison has brought anything new to Batman in terms of characterization and Morrison's take wasn't even that new, it jus hadn't been used for decades so it felt fresh.
>>
>>84293509
maybe it's the inks and the colors but this is the best finch's art has been in a long time

Morrison did it and King's a capable writer. He just needs to find a good voice. 5102
>>
>>84294359

/co/ loves to build new writers up only to tear him/her to pieces once he/she goes mainstream with a big name A-list title.

Happened with Spencer, Hickman, Snyder, etc.
>>
>>84294359

They only hated Snyder for not being Morrison, and so they'll hate King for not being Snyder.

It could be written by a team of Denny O'Neil, Chuck Dixon, Greg Rucka, and Paul Dini and they'd still bitch.
>>
>>84294359
>I MISS SNYDER
Literally nobody said that. I miss Capullo though. Finch a shit. And even though people hated Snyder, his run started out far more interesting.
>>
>>84294370

Morrison is a super star who is allowed to do a lot of things normal writers would get away with. King is a rising star and a critical darling, but he isn't Snyder yet because his books have sold abysmal numbers apart from Grayson, and that was a collaboration.
>>
Anyone else besides me find this Bruce refreshing? Having actual doubts about himself while still being a stuck up asshole is great. And Gordon and Alfred are legitimately funny. I'm enjoying this a lot.
>>
>>84294392

>It could be written by a team of Denny O'Neil, Chuck Dixon, Greg Rucka, and Paul Dini

Those four have such wildly divergent writing styles that it would be worth it just for the freak-show factor.
>>
>>84293628
>psycho pirate and strange
Could be a crazy pair.
Also is Roger the Psycho Pirate from CoIE or the other Psycho Pirate? Could be a Rebirth hook.
>>
>>84294128
What did the anon call? Dr Strange would be in it?
>>
>>84294407

From King's Batman, Alfred and Gordon I think it's clear, that like most of /co/ , King's first Batman was the animated series
>>
>>84294359
like we just keep getting new authors and overhyping them because we want them to be good so badly but they always fucking disappoint. We romanticize the idea of a perfect Batman run but there really isn't one. It's a collage of perfect pieces of flawed stories from like Morrison, O'Neil, Grant, Dixon, Brubaker, Milligan, Miller,Englehart, Dini and Loeb. All really great runs but there's always something to complain about , everyone has their missteps.

King hasn't had the best start, but doesn't he have an at least 24 issue contract, or 48 becaues the double shipping antics?
I don't doubt there's going to be some really good stories but its a given all don't get the best reception.
>>
>>84294417
O'Neil and Dixon seem like they are pretty friendly in real life, I think they'd make a good team
>>
>>84293432

>>84294173
Looks like King did his homework.
>>
>>84294466
>good so badly but they always fucking disappoint.

Kings work is mostly fantastic. It's going to take more than two and a half issues of Batman for me to turn on him. Especially when I just read a real piece of shit five minutes ago which was Hitch's JL
>>
>>84294385
>They only hated Snyder for not being Morrison
You Snyderfags are so adorable with your bullshit
>>
>>84294474

That's true, though it would basically be an entire run of Batman fighting assassins like he was in a 70's ninja movie.

Which actually sounds pretty alright.
>>
>>84293488

>>
>>84293357
>1.3 seconds

I hate this shit. It's such a lazy way to try to show someone's intellegence and always sounds like bullshit.
>>
>>84294522

Business as usual for Batman
>>
>>84294485
Holy shit Hitch is terrible. But read my post anon, I'm not giving up on him either, I'm just saying he's off to a slow start and this falter isn't a reason to jump the gun with him. It's ahrd to take over arguably the most prestigious writing gig in comics (besides ASM) and might take a few issues before he really gets a good voice and grasp on the character and Gotham as a whole. He can handle a large cast of characters well as seen in his previous work and juggle multiple plot threads. Just Batman is under a microscope because its basically our most beloved property and we know how great King can be. This issue and the last wasn't good but this might be the beginning of a fucking fantastic Batman run. I mean Snyder started off pretty well and then just kinda petered out with predictability and edginess. King's a badass, of course I'm gonna keep giving him a chance and reading this.
>>
I liked it. Alfred's witty banter OP.
>>
>>84294504
Who doesn't want that?
O'Neil should just get free reign to pick random partners and make the craziest stories possible because why not?
>>
>>84293495
They're trying to bring in new readers so yeah.
>>
At the very least, two issues in we can say this dialogue already beats the shit out of Snyder's monologues.
>>
>>84293464
Why does the Bat Signal not match the spotlight?
>>
>>84294566
your dubs don't lie
those monologues would so cringey

I just miss the art so fucking much though
>>
>>84294574
Editors not doing their jobs
>>
>>84294542

I think Batman beats out Spider-Man in prestige to be fair. I'm with you though I'm holding out hope that King grows into this and picks up the pace a bit. His Alfred and Gordon are great, I think it will all come down to how he handles Strange
>>
Pretty damn good. I'm liking King's run so far after the Rebirth one shot.
>All that Alfred humor
Alfred is the best.
>>
>>84294488
>Snyderfags

You mean the hundreds of thousands who bought his Batman run, making a top-selling comic since the beginning of the New 52?
>>
>>84294610

maybe just because cuz early 90s I started getting into comics but Spider-Man always just seemed like the highest selling, greatest thing in the universe that everyone wish they got a chance to write while random
Superman was like that too but not really Batman back then
idk
>>
>>84294584
>implying they are not prepared enough to handle twice monthly titles
>>
>>84294641
You mean the people who came in off New 52 and saw "BATMAN", no one bought the books because of Snyder, they bought the book because it was a launching point for Batman
>>
>>84294663

Heh, sure, his whoooole run was just that. Years of top-selling comics was just because of newfags.

Dude, I've been reading Batman since I could read in the early 80s. Snyder's run is excellent.
>>
>>84294663
They stayed because of Snyder my delusional hate bro. Only 2 titles kwpt the consistent sales throughout new 52 and even people left Johns JL.
>>
>>84294656

Yeah but Slott's reign of terror just keeps going. Besides Batman has the monopoly on memorable stories so I think it's more prestigious
>>
>>84294689
Snyder's run was garbage. Bruce being a moron, edgy Joker x Batman, plot twists that went no where, walls of exposition

>>84294692
I guarantee you All Star Batman will prove Snyder doesn't sell
>>
>>84294709
or just like everyone who was ever a kid wants to write Spidey so they can self-insert and say jokes they've had in their heads for years
Slott cannot be fucking stopped, his monopoly is insane, and the fact the Bendis is completely unchecked, on the Ultimate universe and now controlling every aspect of Miles' entire existance
DC in general has more "memorable stories" but Marvel has just has man incredible single issues, many of them just aren't in serialized formats or reprinted whatsoever so time forgot about them. Kinda a shame that they don't care about their history whatsoever besides printing those cheap ass Showcases. If I ever make it big I have a few Batman and Superman stories I want to tell, a ton of Legion of Super-Heroes stories and also a bunch of DC's awesome unused magic properties. But since I as like 5 I've been drawing Spider-Man stories. It's like a childhood dream thing while I guess I do admit Batman/Superman are more prestigious and will more likely get you acclaim and fame. I just guarantee every comic writer, from the most die-hard DC fan to those who only read crazy indie comics or pretentious SoL b.s., has a Spider-Man story they are dying to tell one day if they got the opportunity.

Don't know what the story's supposed to be yet, but seems like we're finally about to go somewhere. These two issues have still been pretty enjoyable and easy to read. Even though I liked Snyder's run overall, it was super text-heavy and at times exhausting to get through. Anyway, Strange finally being confirmed as the roof top guy and Waller by his side, I'm intrigued.

This is definitely better than what's going on in the Detective Comics.

I'm usually the guy to complain how women dress up in skimpy clothes, but that skirt is just ridiculous. If Finch drew that pose just a bit more realistically, her pussy should be right there out in the open, just saying.

Huh, They are going for Golden Age Hugo Strange proportions.


Also, when is Amanda Waller running for president? She has the appropriate amount of unpunished criminal behavior

, he's being saracastic/ironic or whatever you want to call him. keep in mind he's very familiar alfred and is probably just joking. and you turbo autists didn't know that just because finch forgot to draw a smile on bruce's face.

surprisingly more morbid than the gurihiru art might make you think. the subtext that Gwen knows her survival is directly tied to comic readers liking her enough adds an air of quiet desperation when things go tits up. the only reason she hasn't died already is plot armor and if she loses her ongoing she can kiss that goodbye.

If they do have something to do with Hugo Strange, it seems that they aren't aware of that themselves. They seem genuine in their desire to help.

Alfred and Gordon are my favorite cape comics characters again. Thank you, King.

I see Strange is muscling in on T. O. Morrow's shtick of "create fake hero to defeat the heroes only to have them turn good in the end".

So I guess Bruce has no longer met Strange in this continuity?

I don't feel any problems with the pacing. I like the story's gradual development, it makes it feel more "detective" than action book. Not sure how to describe it better, but it works for me.

1. They softened him up for Batman
2. That was a toss, not a punch

>>84298194
King confirmed that Strange is the guy in the shadows but he said there was more to it

So they maybe want to genuinely help and aren't aware of what Strange is doing

Bats sat there and waited for Grundy to get close enough, then flipped him using Grundy's own momentum against him.

>Implying punch or throw makes a lick of difference
Grundy was getting hit on the face with building shattering strength, and then Batman threw him on the ground. Of all people, I never expected King to write him Batgod.

Is this awful artist gonna be paired with King for the entire run?
>>
>>84298760
I am glad I don't care about power level shit so I don't miss the obvious point of that scene just to be stuck on MUH BATGOD memes

It's just bad writing, m8. If he wanted to establish Batman as a senpai to the Gothams, he should've knocked out Grundy with gas or hang him upside down with a trap.
>>
>>84293509
Huge Strange!
>>
>>84298760
>Grundy was getting hit on the face with building shattering strength
Exactly. In case you haven't noticed, he was running AWAY from Gotham. He was already hurt at that point, Batman just did the finishing move. Nothing Batgod about it.
>>
>>84298892
Grundy respects and knows Batman so he knew that playtime was over now that he showed up and that's why he didn't even try to get up
