I tried but didn't like it. Dropped it after the 1st or 2nd issue. It's also part of the reason I didn't bother with her new Secret Six series. After Batgirl and the Movement it's a case of only picking it up in trades if there's loads of good word of mouth for it.
That Joker spoiler thread, smdh. I usually don't go into these kinds of threads because I trust you guys, but someone mentioned that Zombine was destroying that dude and I had to see that.
Which lead to me reading that thread.
And now I'm DOUBLY excited to read Endgame when it hits hardcover.

We were the only ones who gave it the love it deserved.
I championed that book pretty hard. It was very enjoyable.

People are weirdly possessive of batman
"Oh I hate the batfamily, ruins the character. MY batman is a super badass lone wolf."
"A shared universe makes no sense. My Batman would be in his own universe and DC should cancel every other character."
"Oh this change is dumb. My Batman is at his best when he fights normal villains like clay face and mr freeze."

Question is: Who's Leonidas and who's Xerxes?
It's like the only thing we got that from that mediocre AvP movie is the tagline.

The best comics thread in the OT was the manmademan Thor thread.

OT comic threads are just infuriating, God forbid a Manga Vs. Western Comics thread pops up.

This always gives me a hearty chuckle.
This too. Will they just spontaneously combust if Affleck kills it next year?
Messi is Leonidas, he has the beard for it IIRC.

Shit makes me extra sad because I just finished reading McCloud's "Understanding Comics" and had such an appreciation for the art form.

If you liked that, The Comic Book History of Comics makes a nice follow-up.
I know it's not fair to them, but this is how I imagine some people who only watch the TV versions of any DC character and not read any comics.

They were bad books. Ver unimaginative. They were selling the Green Team as "what if ultra rich kids could Biy super powers?" And all we got was an Iron Man rip off and some junk. Tom Taylor would be proud.

I have to deal with this all the time, since my friends are all really into the show Gotham. They will talk about that muck forever, and I feel myself almost having a stroke. I gave it the standard three episodes I'm pretty much obliged to. Never again. Can't take Supermodel Jim Gordon, Baby Batman and Well 'Ard Alfred seriously at all.
I would die for the cause.

Ben Affleck is the Batman that sits in the Bat-cave of my heart. Fuck all these other "comic book" interpretations.

Funnily enough, the Joker.
I think it's mostly because every writer wants to use him, and all of them have an Ultimate Important Joker Story stashed away in a filing cabinet somewhere. I still like him if he's included in an Injustice Gang style of story, just because I can sympathize with the other villains rolling their eyes at him.
Modern Harley Quinn or Anarky on the principle that he should really be a Robin villain.

Leave it to the comic encyclopedia to get the reference. That arc was the absolute worst.
Favorite thing about that one was no matter what anyone tried to tell him and recommend, the OP wasn't changing his opinion about comics.
My cousin is the same... Knows a shit about comics and is always shooting her mouth up as she were reading comics since the Fantastic Four were founded but never touched a comic. Every fucking time its the same, I am avoiding to with her in a cape movie at all costs...
LOL
But he warns us not to go in to the OT comic threads. We need more to add on the ComicGaf canon.
