Does anyone remember the last time that a Detectives Comic/Batman was about him solving crimes and doing actual detective work?
Recently it just seems that it's just been about him getting into fights and becoming a god.

whatever the fuck issue detective comics 50 retroactively is now with the statues
in general though your kind of right
>>83924346
you mean actual detective work like in american literature or the meme detective work from things like Sherlock Holmes and company where people jump to the most dumb conclusions which only turn out to be correct because of plot convenience?
>>83924392
The first, but at the point either at the moment, anything would be better than the shit we've been giving lately
>>83924346
It's harder to write an intelligent crime mystery, than just big guys beating each other up.
>>83924346
You're right OP.
It's hard to find actual examples of Batman doing standard detective work, and for standard I mean:
-Following clues
-Not relying on magical scanners
-Using reasonable deduction, and not only being able to solve cases "because he read the script"
I'm actually writing/drawing a little something in these lines. Involving a certain Victor Zsasz, if you catch my dift... I'm struggling to find a decent, meaningful and not rushed conclusion though.

it's gonna be bad. be lazy and stop writing. procastinate, you don't have a future in comics.

I don't want to have a future in comics. This is just something that I have to get out of my system.
For the sake of it. I'll work my ass off for a long-ass time to make it at least decent. Then I'll show it to a couple of good friends who're into comics.
If they don't like it, I'll bury it in a drawer and let it sleep forever. If they like it, I'll bury it in a drawer and let it sleep forever. If they love it, I'll present it on /co/ and then bury it in a drawer and let it sleep for ever

But he's doing great detective work like telling superman to use his icebreath on a fire elemental or asking the all-knowing chair the name of his fuckbuddy
>>83924346
What counts as "detective work" these days, exactly?
>>83924346
When was the last time Batman actually fought like the martial arts master that he supposedly is?
When Manapul and Buccalatto were on Detective it was detective focused.
Average capeshit retarded doesn't find it interesting and it wouldn't sell.
>>83925053
It would sell because it's Batman
>>83924714
Batman knows a buttload of styles from all around the world, it must be hard to convey that in a fight scene, unless he randomly bust out a capoeira kick against Killer Croc or something.

Manabooch's run
The Icarus storyline and whatever came after that.
