Do you like or dislike Geoff Johns' take on Batman, /co/? In JL, Earth One, or otherwise.
>>82675871
Dislike. He comes off as a bumbling, petulant child.
It's not humanization, it's bastardization.
>>82675871
Johns is just not a very good writer or even a bright guy. He couldn't properly express his love for Hal in 80+ issues juust as he can't properly express his disdain of Batman.
Former's "he the best I swear!", latter's "he stink haha look at him!"
>>82676376
I don't know where the idea that johns "hates batsman" came from but it's bullshit.
>>82675871
I don't like anything by Johns but Flash fags and Cereal King memers will crucify you if dislike him.
>>82675871
I'd like to see him write some main universe Batman before I make up mind.
>>82677158
he doesn't batwank him up.
>>82677158
Yeah in his run of Wally Flash when Hal makes everyone forget Flash's identity and then Batman is the only one to figure it out. Wally worships Batman throughout most of the series
>>82677239
>he doesn't batwank him up.
oh, it's this meme again
>>82675871
He is terrible and dislike the character, and the people that says they enjoy his batman or ghat he doesn't dislike batman are the same kibd of people that uses the words batwank or batgod in every post, they dont like the character and barely know anything about batman outside some jl books and some dixons comics
>>82677276
Johnsfags hate batman and at the same time say johns doesn't thats what you need to expect from them
>>82676376
>He couldn't properly express his love for Hal in 80+ issues
He's waifu is Sinestro. Seriously, how does anyone read Johns' GL not notice the constant fapping to Sinestro.
>>82677276
Go to bed Bruce Timm
>>82677276
It's true. That's what you really want. It infuriates you that johns doesn't shove his tongue put batmans ass. If you want to see it so bad why don't you do it yourself?
>>82677510
When thieir only explanation is "he doesn't batwank" or other memes you know they don't have any real argument.
>>82677548
>>82677544
Nice no arguments there, kids
>>82677252
The end of his Booster Gold run had Batman thanking Booster for his work.
>>82677510
>>82677276
Johns doesn't want to make Batman a mary sue like everyone else. That's why people kinda bash him.
>>82677573
>this meme again
isn't an argument Junior
>>82677602
>mary sue
Another buzzword
>>82677636
Pointing out your lack of arguments is an argument in itself.
>>82677573
Can you give me One GOOD reason why we shouldn't hate batman?
>>82677573
They want batman to look like a useless jerk so they enjoy johns take. Theres no much more to that t hey are not familiar with the character.
>>82675871
If you get really mad at somebody being able to punch Batman or Batman not being right
you won't care for it
>>82677717
That's because he Isa useless jerk. That's his whole character.
>>82677602
A really bad argument when the most popular and best liked Batman book is legends of the dark knight
>>82677707
Why? I mean you can dislike him all you want but then why argue with people stating that the only people that like Johns' Batman are people that hate Batman to begin with.
>>82677756
Thank you
>>82677785
>Batmen is the best1!
>>82677517
Is Johns responsible for Hal and Sinestro Shippers?
I love how all you batfags in here think that batman has to be written as infallible or otherwise the writer hates the character.
But in the same breath you tell me how relatable he is! HAHAHAHA!
>>82677785
> the most popular and best liked Batman book is legends of the dark knight
this is first time I've heard such a claim.
and wasn't that line cancelled?
>>82677873
but that's not the problem at all
Snyder's Batman was a fuck up after the other and made constant mistakes and errors and the majority of people don't have a problem with it
You guys really just like to shit on a chracter without even reading about him other than some cherrypicked panels posted on /co/
>>82677707
>>82677856
What? Are you retarded?
>>82675871
Dislike. Johns is an awful writer.
His GL and Flash fans seem to love him, so let him write those but don't let him outside of those comics at all.
>>82677873
Johns does Batwank too (look at OP's pic), it's not that, he just doesn't get the character, so it always comes off weird and out of character
>>82677883
It's got a mini right now.
See, there's two ways writing a character you don't like.
1: Write him the way you'll like him. 2: Write him the way it'd make his fans rage and/or his haters point fingers and laugh.
Good writers instinctively go to the first unless it's satire or there's a point to dong otherwise. Hacks go to the second.
>>82677873
That's because they are kinda like little kids that never want to see their dad lose in a fight. Batman is a huge Mary Sue and is never limited to what he is supposed to be. Just a very clever man with hand to hand training.
>>82677883
We we're just talking about lotdk beib the most liked Batman book ever.
>>82677970
that's not an argument kid
>>82677988
I love how Johns triggers the batfags.
>>82677987
Op pics shows Batman as infantile and pitiful.
>>82677987
>Johns does Batwank too (look at OP's pic),
Batman punched Hal in private whereas Hal punched Batman in front of Guy and the rest of the corps. Bruce looks petty as fuck while Hal is all "yeah sure just don't sperg out"
>>82675871
I like it. Johns doesn't threat Batman like a special snowflake that needs to be spared from annoying little things such as having flaws.
>>82678026
And "betmen is le best" was an argument?
When the highest rated book Batman had was about his early years and doesn't feature a single batgod moment it means your Mary Sue arguments are just wrong.
>>82677929
Personally I hope they kill Bruce off and replace him with dick, permanently!

so you guys really haven't read anything other than Johns' stuff
>>82678189
Johnsfags have no arguments as always
>>82678228
Sure we do. They just go over the small heads of you batfags
>>82678211
They haven't they started with gl rebirth. They think the current jl book isn't shit
>>82678189
welcome to /co/
Johns and Batman is almost as potent as Superman and relevancy.
MoS is still the bait of kings though
Bat-haters are far worse than Batfags
>>82677987
89-07 was a mixed grabbag of shit and the occasionally good story like Gothic
the current is some digital first dreck
>>82678256
If that's what you actually believe, then you just exposed yourself as a literal retard.
>>82678211
Nah. Whatever flaw he has is quickly put on hold for the rest of the decade. He is never wrong in any of his comics and he is always right.
>>82678289
What about cartoons? Is it Steven Universe a good bait too?
>>82678571
>He is never wrong in any of his comics and he is always right.
Yeah, the guy that gets constantly called out by the rest of the Batfamily and other people is never wrong.
What the fuck.
There are Batman threads only made to show how Bruce was wrong and an asshole toward Dick or other Robins all the time.
>>82678603
I'm not sure, but I doubt it will have the staying power of MoS.
>>82678356
Anybody with a overly strong opinion on the character is a pain in the ass.

John has written some decent to very good Superman stories. I pretty much liked a great deal of 52, of which he worked on and wrote at least 15-20% on his own or 15-30% or in conjunction with three other writers.
I also generally liked what he did with Arthur, except for the entire "others" back story which just seemed unnecessary except for a spin-off book.
I thought Earth One was ho-hum, but that has nothing to do with Bruce stinks or humanization, it just wasn't particularly interesting or well-done, and this is from someone who generally has no interest in Batman or his solo titles. It did make me not want to bother reading the second book.
I wouldn't say that when Johns writes Batman is team books (e.g. Justice League) or when Bruce guests in a book he's writing that he doesn't like Batman or Bruce.
>>82680419

>Reading comics
Face it Johnsfags, your husbando makes Batman into a asshole who punches and berates his teammates, is overly arrogant, and just overall has little to no redeeming qualities.
>>82677865
Yes
He is like 99% responsible for Hal/Sinestro being a thing
