>>81401247
It's already happening.
>>
>>81401247
What has he even written?
>>
>>81401247
If it sells well then we'll hate the book.

But if sales drop considerably then we'll continue to love him and whine about how comic fans are dumb
>>
>>81401247
We haven't turn on Ewing or Hastings, yet, so there's still hope.

Grayson
Sheriff of Babylon

Grayson, and Darkseid War: Green Lantern.

A bunch of pretentious garbage and "Nightwing becomes a gun-toting secret agent and hits on gay dudes": The Series. Among /co/'s most overrated writers.

>inb4 King defense force gets triggered

>>81401247
I'll turn on him until he gets a good artist on Batman with him

Just as long as he checks the SJW bullshit at the door then we're cool.
>>
>>81401394
He uses the gun as a batarang.
>>
>>81401416
Does anybody have that list of SJW stuff that /co/ just ignores about Grayson, because King is responsible for most of it and probably okayed the rest.
>>
>>81401416
It'll seep through like it always does. Just hope it's kept at a minimum. After TDKIII went full SJW thanks to Azzerello ghost-writing it within the first few pages, I'm in desperate need of some non-pandering Batman.
>>
Scott Snyder used to be regarded as the best writer DC had and now he tends to be loathed or just straight ignored in those conversations , it just takes one bad book or even just one bad moment to have /co/ turn on someone. For me when it comes to King I like his prose type of writing he showed off in Vision and haven't really liked anything else he's written outside of that and Sheriff of Babylon, really I would like him to write novels since I think that's what he could excel at.
>>
>>81401304

You don't remember the whole "It's about ethics in hammer wielding" fiasco? /co/ was up in arms with its hate for "the female Thor" book, even though it appeared in Loki. Then they started hating on Ewing.

Ultimates was bashed from the start for not having any white guys on the team because that seriously triggers nu/co/.

Well Black Mirror, American Vampire, and Swamp Thing were all solid. Then Death of the Family and Endgame happened. I'm willing to be the main Batman comic had more readers here than his previous great stuff

Well yeah... King was a CIA agent before becoming a writer
>>
>>81401689

JEE I WONDER WHY
>>
>>81401689
yeah I expect him to be sympathetic to terrorists in comics because he sure as hell wasn't in real life
>>
>>81401247
I enjoyed his work on Grayson, but my mind wasn't blown by it. His dialogue has a sophomoric fixation with being cute and clever. I think he has promise, but I haven't read anything else he's worked on. I'm interested in his Batman run.

His current Vision run is insanely good.

Oh also the "not calling women 'girls'" thing kinda triggered /co/ for a thread or two

We'll turn on him when he says on Twitter that sexism hasn't been abolished forever and ever because that would be a horrible thing to say

Like any good witchunt, you have to prove that you are at all times not part of The Enemy, and if you at any point espouse the opinions of The Enemy to even the smallest degree you are branded as one of The Enemy forever.

And it went straight back up when Rotworld finished to the point it was better than what came before. As crossovers go Rotworld was far from the worst

I hate him..
>>
Duke is just more prominent because he's Snyder's pet that's all. Damn I was hoping for Batman books without the influence of Snyder.
>>
>>81401607
His Omega Men is brilliant. It's very much comics written as comics. Some of the pane/layout choices are just amazing.
>>
>>81403718
Yup it's a Snyder show,king just outright says Duke will be the new ward, Duke is gonna be robin. Don't really care for him .'ll just stick with Nightwing now
>>
>>81401689
I was wondering how Damian would feel about duke being Bruce's ward.
>>
>>81403894
Play Linkin Park and cut himself, I guess.
>>
>>81403917
there is a rumor of suicide attempt by BC
NO JOKE .
>>
>>81403894

I don't hate Duke but he has come too early and is egging Damian out of a positon that he hasn't reached his full potential in yet IMO.

I was hoping that King would use Damian more after Rebirth and make the Robin title mean something again, but the fact that the comic opens with Alfred, Gordon, and Duke is rather telling.
>>
>>81403894
Brings him back from death, only to then send him off on his own while he takes in a new teenager. At some point they'll have to address Damian.
He is10.
Letting Damian not be Robin at all makes Bruce look like a shitty Dad!
>>
I was hoping that Duke Thomas, like Harper Row, would just be forgotten and have small guest appearances. Now he's a freaking ward?

Crap.
>>
>>81404054
Bruce is a shitty father who doesn't care enough to spend time with his son.
>>
Duke is Tim Drake 2.0. Very safe, nothing to really not like about him, but at the same time nothing to really like about him either. His personality is just very plain and indistinct. Problem is having multiple Robins or Robin-esque figures is redundant and kind of confusing. They have Bruce's 10-12 year old kid Damian outside of Batman running around on his own as Robin, but in Batman they gonna have Bruce taking in a new teenage ward to train as a new Robin-esque figure, while at the same time in Tec' they're putting Tim back in his Robin costume to take part in Batman's boot camp.
>>
>>81401247
But OP, we always hated him. People who praised him was just one guy.
>>
>>81404100
It would be nice to have Damian in Batman and it would give me more of an excuse to read it (it's kinda put me off a bit that King & Snyder are working "really, really closely together").

As long as I have Dick & Damian, I don't care that much about Bruce. We all know Grayson is Damian's real Daddy!
>>
Of course we'll turn on him.

Hell given all the stuff he's put out so far and I'm surprised there isn't regular
>muh Iraq war
shitposting about him
>>
>>81404183
I still hope Damian will be the main Robin in Batman. I was surprised to see Duke on the cover...
Anyway if King doesn't use him I wouldn't mind Damian to be Dick's Robin again

Hastings hasn't gotten a high profile book yet. Once that happens it's all downhill.

Scott Snyder avoided this for awhile by starting on a high-profile book but even he couldn't hold back the tide.
>>
>>81404202
Damian has never had a parental support structure in his life, but he desperately wants it. He already knows he can’t get this from Bruce In other words, Dick is able to do what Bruce was trying to do. He has more patience, and he’s more emotionally available than Bruce. Dick is willing to give Damian that chance at a better life.

The overuse of the word "meme" is some bullshit /tv/ nonsense that's been trickling here recently. Probably because of the BvS crossover.

whats wrong with making minority characters that make sense? I understand the hate when marvel shoe horns in minorities and basically destroys other characters and makes them the boring old establishment racist mysoginist, but here the minority characters make sense and are believable.


Also, why are you mad that the villain isn't one dimensional? Do you just want a one dimensional villain?

Some anons tried pointing out all the things /co/ would have and have blasted other writers for
They missed a few things and it was made a while ago so it needs to be updated though
>>
I was reading a interview yesterday and got some new bits about the book

-The two people on the cover are 2 new heroes called Gotham and Gotham girl
-They come to the city because they think batman is some evil bad guy
-The idea king came up with is that back in the CIA he would go to countries acting like super heroes but would realize the situation isn't so black and blue and there was more going on. He is emulating that.
-Sounds like there are already several bat events being planned with both him and snyder co plotting.

We turn on everyone, it's in our nature.

We had one thread. Singular. Which was made for the express purpose of "triggering /co/". Most of the thread was filled with posts wondering why it was supposed to be some amazing stealth satire, and anons getting mad that other anons were being such smarmy little shits.
And when people didn't freak out as hard as OP wanted, it ultimately turned into a worrysome circlejerk about how awful it's going to be when /co/ heel turns on King. Just like this thread.

Seriously, what the fuck is up with these threads?

Demanding censorship for anything that offends you, especially involving sexy women. Often extending into IRL doxxing, harassing, death threats, and getting people fired.

Basically being a religious fundie while pretending to be a liberal.
>>
If he writes something shit, I'll call him out on it. His weakest works so far have been a teen titans annual (which he co-wrote and was mediocre), and Robin Wars (his issues I thought were still decent). Everything else he's writen has been top tier and I've absolutely loved them. If his Batman is of that quality I'll still love him.

But if I wasn't familiar with his past works everything he has said about his Batman work would have me a bit worried.

Not really. It runs through a lot of the dialogue. Even with Dick it occasionally feels unnatural and grating. As I said I haven't read his other stuff, so maybe it's simply him struggling with a Dick Grayson book's tone and it isn't an issue elsewhere.

Eh, I dislike that joke, but it's still only strike one for me.

Pretty much the only strike, too. Loki was great.

So it's less that /co/ has meme magic, and more the Night Owl Storytime threads that do?

Calling him something other than Robin does not stop him from being robin. Ar eyou seriously going to tell me Tim Drake was never Robin in this continuity. King has already stated he's treating Duke as if he were robin.

I think it's just me but the only place I find hated towards DotF is /co/,everywhere else I go on the internet I find love for DotF.

I dislike his run in general. Court of Owls started out fairly well but ended pretty poorly. It just got worse from there.
>>
>>81408722
>Sounds like there are already several bat events being planned with both him and snyder co plotting.
Source so that I can see this clusterfuck on my own eyes?
Just fuck off Snyder, you never wanted to steer the mythos for the batfamily so stop meddling.
>>
>>81414824
Because /co/ is very anal when it comes to Joker and the thought of Batman's graetest foe actually being competent and killing people angers /co/.

That said, the arc is weak at the end and while I can understand what Snyder was trying to do with that flashback, it was just....really really stupid. Other than that, it's an okay arc. I remember /co/ at the time was crying because they were afraid Alfred was going to die, or one of the bat brats was going to die or get scarred or some shit and that would've harmed the status quo.
>>
>>81416120
It was weak at the beginning when Joker gets enough plot hax to murder a room full of police officers who are cowering before him as if they were teenagers at Camp Crystal Lake.
>>
>>81416882
Remember that one time when Joker was knifeslinger and we were all sucking Morrison's dick? Good times.
>>
>>81416882
I mean, it's not like he's just some thug. It's Gotham and he's the Joker, I makes sense even the cops are pissing their pants paralyzed at the sight of him.

Civilians sure, law enforcement, no. Should be a lot more anger than fear and they didn't even try to shoot him. Here's a "Joker at the police station" scene not written by a hack.
>>
>>81417127
>not written by a hack.
I hope you're kidding. That arc was great UNTIL that moment. If you shot him 5 times then you might as well shoot him in the brain and kill him instead of lolplothax he survived and Mags was such a badass for shooting him...but not killing him.

Also, you're not proving your point, the entire city is shitting their pants throughout that whole arc.
>>
>>81417239
Police officers are required to shoot at the center of mass. Headshots are a video game thing.
Rucka mentioned in interviews that he wanted the Joker dead, but DC won't allow it. So he survived because he that's what he'll always do. And it is true that once police officers shoot someone, they take them to the hospital to try to save them because they're required to.
>>
>>81409211
>>The police have been hassling superheroes since day 1.
And yet it was never an issue until they hassled some black kid that literally "dindu nuffin." This place really is /co/mblr if you can't see how that first seen of TDKIII was blatant SJW pandering propaganda.

Fucking hell, when did /co/ get overrun but liberals?

Holy strawman, Batman!

You're a fucking idiot.

>>81417406
You realize you don't have to be an SJW to acknowledge police brutality and corruption is real, right?

You've been brainwashed by BLM to believe that you either agree with them or you're against them. You're the SJW.
>>
>>81417600
Excellent arguments all around. It's completely obvious Snyder is a Joker fanboy and has to one-up everyone who isn't Batman (because Snyder is a bigger Batman fanboy) and he did this in both DotF and Endgame. This is bad writing.

It doesn't work like that, if you hate the guy and want him dead and you were willing to shoot him dead then you could just not get him medical attention, if you're a good enough write, you give your characters life and you end up at a point where they practically write the scenes for you. Furthermore, Rucka is not only a baby(hurr I wanted to kill DC's biggest and most recognizable villain but they didn't let me, I wonder why?) but also kind of a buffoon because there's a lot of ways of resolving that scene without going "plot armor, dear readers xD"

>>81417848
As one of Gotham's few non-corrupt cops, she has to obey the law.
>>
>>81417923
It's not consistent with her previous characterization.

>Social commentary =/ SJW

To be an SJW, you need to try and actively censor anyone who doesn't share your views.
>>
>>81417600
SJW!? You're SJW! You SJWing fucking SJW!
>>
>>81418134
>actively

Let me modify that, plenty of SJWs passively support censorship, giving cover to the vocal activists trying to destroy opposing views.
>>
>>81409274

Our meme magic is keeping Stan Lee alive.

He is right. /co/ hates edge Joker unless Morrison is doing it because Grant is a God that can do know wrong.

Always relevant.

>>81416120

I'm pretty sure /co/'s problem with DotF is not that Joker is too cool in it and Snyder is simply too awesome and sexy a writer. The problem with DotF is that it makes no sense and nothing happens in it. It's actually terribly plotted.
>>
>>81419725
>nothing happens in it.
This is a bad criticism because it ends up with writers giving us bad stories with Things Happening like Alfred losing his hand. A story doesn't need to change the status quo to be good.
>>
>>81419725

But stuff happens. Most agree it has great build up and a terrible ending.

And I have never seen anyone say it doesn't make sense. It makes perfect sense. It not being an amazing arc doesn't mean it doesn't make sense.
