This is an oddly specific fetish.
Alright /co/, lets have a conversation about Batman and gun usage. Batman always seems to be stereotyped as the guy who will never use a gun but why?
The characters earliest days had him using a gun
Then once rules changed he stopped but for some reason when everything went back to normal they decided the character was better off not using them. Instead he continued to use gadgets such as Batarangs and grappling guns etc. to show him as more heroic
All of these gadgets can be used potentially lethal way but as such never are.
So where did this Batman Hates Guns idea...

He didn't kill him. Frank Miller said it he had problems showing how batman just hurt him. Even in the animated version the show what it was meant to be

Because he's incredibly traumatized by his parents death

You didn't read the comic, did you.
On one hand I understand what DC is trying to do here, and to a degree, I approve. DC failing to give new characters the support they need was one of their classic faults, and I'm glad to see them taking steps to fix it.
On the other hand: FUCK Harper Row. She's so god damned annoying, she actively makes any comic she's in worse with her presence. And they just keep shoving her down my fucking throat without even buying me a drink first.
just shut the fuck up
>keep shoving her down my throat

I know you guys are desperate to hate her because you hate her haircut, but I will never understand this narrative that you all keep constructing.

>subplot arc in Batman and Robin
Subplot in Batman Eternal I mean. Not that it matters considering Harper's subplot was smaller then multiple other character's.
I like Harper, but that's also because I really miss Dixon-era Steph and she's the closest thing that's filling that void.
I will say I think making her a vigilante was a mistake and she was more interesting as a Harold like figure to Batman, but I get that everyone needs a costume...

Why does /co/ hate romance? I don't mean they hate bad romance or shipping, but the fundamental idea that romance is inherently bad for stories.
I just dont understand why there is this sentiment that such a fundamental part of the human experience should be excluded from character.
Of course the cheap answer would be" comics and cartoons are about punching and action and shit, not that girly 'kisssing' and 'feelings' stuff." Which I know is a stereotypical strawman that people only want lcd thrills, not well handled and fleshed...

Romance is a lame motivation. It's literally just "I care for this person because my genitals ache for them"
It's on the same level as a villain being motivated because they are "evil" or greedy.
Political motivations > all other
>>78252765
HAHAHAHA
The worst part is you might actually be serious.
I fucking love romance but well done once are pretty rare in every medium and even more so in /co/ material.

Normally I agree with this guy's perceptions of ASM under Slott, but I admit I took the latest issue at face vale. I thought Peter was joking when he offered the goblins money, but it does seem to be hellishly (see that?) out of character.
And the fact that they were threatening may, dropping bombs all around her, shit, that should have put Peter in seek to maim mode, take of the kiddy gloves. Slott's Parker is inconsistent.

Best Flash there ever was
>>78252306
Agreed. Certainly the longest running title with consistent quality.
>>78252306
Lame Barry ripoff. Glad they finally got rid of the poser.
Atleast he has some value as a black guy now to fill up the diversity quota.
>>78252306
Yep
NEVER FORGOTTEN
Adam Stafford has joined the cast of The CW's THE FLASH as Adam Fells / Geomancer,"a dangerous meta-human with the unique ability to create earthquakes. Intent on destroying the Flash, Geomancer uses his powers to unleash a string of targeted earthquakes, optimistic that he’ll draw out the Flash for a mano-a-mano fight to see who’s the most powerful metahuman in Central City."
Geomancer will appear in episodes 13 and 14, described as two of the craziest episodes in the entire show.
Literally who?
So yet another good guy being turned into a one time villain that dies in the end. Great.

Thats um, not how it works.
>>78252130
I think it's meant to be a punch to the solar plexis in those cases - isn't it possible to hit it so hard the sheer pain can make someone go into shock and faint?
>>78252287
nobody ever passes out on tv from a punch to the gut, they just get the wind knocked out of them and are indefinitely incapacitated. which is exactly what a punch to the solar plexus does. it forcibly pushes the air out of you and makes it hard to reinflate
they do however get knocked out from a single blow to the head, and wake up fine later.
Does anyone else get the feeling that these two knew each other at some point? I mean it's implied that most of Blue Diamond's army had water powers of some kind or another (decorations on the sea spire, she's controlling water on the mural, lapis, etc.) So it's possible that with her coloration and ice powers sapphire might have been under blue diamond at some point.
Lapis said she "Never believed in earth" suggesting that at some point she may have been asked to by someone at some point. In addition, when Garnet found out about the mirror...

bumping out of interest.
It's pretty much wonderful.
Why does Jane ever transform back into herself from being Thor, anyway? If the change resets her body and eliminates any treatment she goes through, why not just stay Thor until she doesn't have that option anymore, and then try dealing with the cancer afterwards?
Why did she keep her identity secret as long as she did, anyway? Why is this story seemingly so half thought out? There's nothing wrong with the idea of a lady with Thor's power (it's happened more than once before), or it being Jane, or the fact that she might have cancer when not in literal...

Because it was. I guarantee you that they still haven't come up with a reason for Thor suddenly becoming unworthy.
>>78252450
Pretty much this to be honest family.
did we get an explanation of why she's "worthy"?
WHO'S that girl?
Wasn't funny the first time, and spamming it over and over isn't going to make it funnier the next.
