#Tom King Batman

[pyroreadscomics]

I have finished Tom King's Batman run

Fuller thoughts may follow but in general: I did not like it.

Damian, Jon, and Lizzie from Wonder Woman #3.

it's kind of funny but mostly annoying when i'm like "yeah no i hate [comic writer] because they're a bad person and it shows in some of their stories" and there'll be one dickhead like "just because you don't like their stories doesn't mean they're a bad person" and the story in question is blatantly racist to brown specifically middle eastern characters and oh right HE HELPED PLAN THE 2003 INVASION OF IRAQ. TOM KING.

Does anyone else still think about the fact that instead of the Ric Grayson arc, the original pitch was that Tim takes over the Nightwing mantle while Dick recovers from his head wound and vertigo?

And that we could’ve had a Dick Grayson, a man who has been a hero since he was eight years old, reckoning with the fact that he’s forced to mentor from the sidelines while Tim takes up another mantle he created, knowing it’s good and necessary but still holding onto some bitterness? And Tim, a boy trying to live up to another legacy of a hero he’s spent his whole life admiring, trying to adapt his style to match Nightwing’s while struggling with his own physical limitations as a vigilante? Imagine the cyclical stories we could have had - Dick watching a boy younger than he was taking on Blockbuster and the BPD, maybe watching him loose like he did, broken down like he was, and not able to do a thing about it?

I think about it a lot

Everyday

I don't think that anything nails the Batman mission and ethos quite as well as this annual. It's Alfred's journal of Bruce's adventures. It starts slow and speeds up, showing us that everyday, everyday, everyday, Bruce is trying to make Gotham better.

Batman #78: City of Bane

by Tom King (W.); Clay Mann (P./I.); Tomeu Morey (C.) and Clayton Cowles (L.)

DC

[fantastic-nonsense]

if I had a nickel for every time a writer of a major Batman character was given a long run, specifically used their run to "break" the character and bring them to their lowest, and had the theoretical intention of building them back up only to get derailed by multiple event comics and a shortened run caused by fan outrage and low sales, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.
