>Bruce and Selina’s reunion arrives in the first issue of “City of Bane,” the epic final arc of King’s run on Batman. The previous 74 issues have set up Bane as the run’s primary antagonist, and now his master plan is all but complete. Bane has essentially conquered Gotham City, transforming it into a miniature fascist state and employing Batman’s villains as his personal army. He even has his own Batman in the form of Thomas Wayne (from an alternate universe where Bruce’s parents survived the mugging instead of him). Together, this villainous gang has successfully cast Bruce out of his own city. Broken, defeated, and exiled, Batman has no other option but to turn to Catwoman for help.
Anyone pumped to see the big bad Cat being the big hero of the City of Bane?

74 issues of padded fucking nothing that has wasted the time and money of publisher and fan alike.
Imagine being this mad that a long established Batman character is involved in Batman comics.
>Broken, defeated, and exiled, Batman has no other option but to turn to Catwoman for help.
Unh... where's the Bat-Family or the Justice League?
That's.....not really the issue here. Are you stupid?
Pss, don’t mess with King’s retarded wet dream
>That's.....not really the issue here.
Of course not, the issue is that a WOMAN is helping a man. If this was Nightwing we would not have this autistic spam.
Terrible, just terrible.
No that's not the issue either. Do you want to take a minute to collect yourself?
>Where is the Bat-Family
After punching Tim for trying to suggest he needs help getting over Selina, they've abandoned him
>Justice League
Dealing with Mr. Mxyzptlk
Didn't you see Batman acting all retarded throughout the run and punching Jim and Tim? That was to establish the set-up that no one, be it Gordon or the Bat-Family, believe in Bruce. So Bruce could be isolated from everyone else, but Catwoman.
Why they'd let a new Batman and Robin "patrol" the city is another question, of course.
Gotta say OP, I just love how you just keep making the same thread over and over and over again.
Did this shit really need two years of build up?
I just saw the news and decided to create a thread about. There's no persecution here, just bafflement.
So 74 issues, maybe 15 of which weren’t mediocre, to establish pretty much same thing as Bane’s Forevel Evil tie-in.
I’m sure that ending will be the same.
God, even Snyder was better with all his Joker and Duke fetish.
The issue is Catwoman constantly saving Batman from his villains throughout the run. From Bane, from Holly, from Talia, from Poison Ivy, from the Joker. It never stop. It just escalate more and more.
Then what's the issue user? Why do you guys keep spamming this anti-Catwoman bullshit?
Just get Superman or a Green Lantern
Yeah so I was right, this is all about how a woman is helping Batman.
Not just helping, but helping while humiliating him, might i add. Over and over again. Not to mention being portrayed as the be all, end-all of his existence. Both his salvation and his downfall.
>I just saw the news and decided to create a thread about.
Using the same picture so you can let all your shitposting friends know where to shitpost.

But does Batman really need Catwoman to resolve his battles?
>humiliating
Red flag for fragile masculinity.
Can't turn a whore into a house wive.
when does the finally get kicked out?
years of batman get emasculated to push some feminist propaganda.
no female character has ever been treated like that
I could post any other page from King's run where Catwoman save Batman from a villain and they'd be equally bad and laughable.
Does he need a whole entourage of sidekicks? If this was Nightwing or tim drake you wouldn't have a problem with them saving him.
But because it's a woman then that means she's a mary sue forced by a male feminist writer to emasculate Batman.
It ends with a Catwoman telling Batman she has PSTD. Then Batman tells her it is okay because he has PSTD as well. Then they combine their PSTDs to make a super PSTD to stop Bane. Then Batman and Catwoman decide to date again (and only date) and live happily PSTD ever until the next writer ignores it.
Do now realize why people support the superior ship that is Batman-Wonder Woman.
I'd have no problem if it was Barbara, Cass, Steph, or Kate saving him. Specially if they were all together in it.
What now?
Because King has written Catwoman POORLY and completely ignores the entire Batfamily. Not to mention his other faults including WAAH I CANT BE HAPPY Batman and King projecting hard in his work.
This has nothing to do with the character itself.
That's not the point, the point that you're obviously been spamming this shit for a while. You even use the same filename.
That ship is trash, and shipping isn't the issue. It's just King
>Because King has written Catwoman POORLY
Says the shitposter who probably hasn't read a comic older than 5 years.
Can Doomsday Clock be finished already and retcon everything this mentally ill cuck did to our beloved characters?
I can't fucking wait for even his new book to fail and never heard of King again if not for lesser characters.
Hell, i'd be pumped if it was fucking Leslie with a shotgun protecting Batman. Imagine Batman coming in all broken and desperate, and Leslie taking him in her clinic to protect him damn all consequences. Then she straps a bunch of grenages, ammo, guns, and a big ass shotgun. Saying to Bruce to just sit on tight while she goes out to teach the alt-Thomas and Bane some lessons for touching her boy.
That'd be so fucking ass dope.
So is it explained why the asshole in a catsuit took out 3 Speedforce users in a row, who arguably have the most OP superpower in DC?
Do you really have nothing better to do?
Trash is this ship, and people that ship this shit, and the comics they produce.
>What now?
Nothing because you throwing out hypotheticals means nothing. It's easy to say you wouldn't have a problem with it but you obviously do have a problem, maybe you based your entire male identity around Batman and now you feel emasculated because of Catwoman.
So you shitpost ad nauseam.
No, i just don't see why Catwoman has to be more important than the Bat-Family or Batman's sons. That's the issue.
It was, you just wasn't paying attention. That's what happens when you don't actually read the comic and instead rely on shitposts instead.
What are you trying to do here?
Defend King? Defend Catwoman?
Because she's a long established Batman character and a primary love interest to Batman.
I'm just sick of your shit.
Right I'M the shitposter......
Look, we all think it's cute, it's easy (You)'s, I get it.
Hell yeah you better believe I'm not reading King's comics.
No, it wasn't. Even if Poison Ivy couldn't control them well, Catwoman shouldn't be able to take all three of them down with a single kick.
Take Superman. Ivy couldn't control him well, so when he was listening in on Batman, a simple whistle brought him down because Ivy had Superman hyper-focus his super-hearing onto Batman. When Ivy had Superman punch Batman, this happened. Pic related. Because once again Ivy had Superman use way more force than needed. The idea is that Ivy's lack of control made the heroes lose all sense of restraint.
So those three Flashes? They'd have ripped Catwoman to bits and pieces.
What shit? Criticizing a run that makes almost all characters act ooc? Not liking that Batman is a suicidal loser? Not liking that the entire Bat-family doesn't mean shit because Bruce doesn't actually love anyone?
Yet all you do whine about Them, you never talk about anything else.
Funny thing is that Catwoman KO-ing 3 nerfed Speedsters isn't even the dumbest thing about this fucking pointless story
Well, she's a shitty one then.
Who would you like as a writer on Batman Yea Forumsmrades?
I think the King One Man Army just broke, he hasn't been the same since they announced King was leaving the main title, he became more aggressive.
You should take a few days off, going to the beach or something, thinking less about your horrible tastes in comics and more about having fun.
>Catwoman shouldn't be able to take all three of them down with a single kick.
Fuck you user, you don't know the speed force works. Look at Mark Waid's first issue of the flash and you would understand the speed force prevents people from getting killed everytime he uses his superspeed.
The only decent man left working at DC: based Grant.
But honestly, batfags don't deserve him
That still doesn't explain how she took them down with ONE kick.
This is exact the bullshit I'm talking, your fifth grade reading comprehension.
Because they're still human. You fell for the goddamn speed force meme like every other casual.
WITH Batman in their midst. So I guess Batman has mastered the art of colocation now.
So you're just shitposting, got it.

I think you need to reexamine your life because all you fucking can do is whine about Tom King. You been spamming this exact same bullshit for the past 2 years.
Pick a different comic for fuck's sake.

>Look at Mark Waid's first issue of the flash and you would understand the speed force prevents people from getting killed everytime he uses his superspeed.
Too bad Tom King himself wrote in HEROES IN CRISIS that the Speed Force is a dangerous thing that speedsters have to always keep it bottled inside themselves and be very wary of, otherwise it might explode from inside them and kill everyone around them.
Right?
Exactly, gotta keep the King hate train fueled up.
You do know that I'm not the person that made this thread, right?
Or are you so retarded that you can't understand the concept of a group of people disliking something.
>Superman
Actually, that's a a good point.
Remember when Batman was willing to call in the Justice League to help him deal with Gotham? Granted, they jobbed, but still points for trying.
Holy shit and you got the nerve to say I need to take a break? You just whine about every little fucking thing.
spbp
Doomsday Clock's basically non-canon at this point.
>>Look at Mark Waid's first issue of the flash and you would understand the speed force prevents people from getting killed everytime he uses his superspeed.
You guys really do have a 4th grade reading comprehension.
I mean I hate King's run too but at least I don't have to resort to literally making shit up to justify not liking it. Some people really just need to relax.
>he doesn't know
DC announced that Doomsday Clock is an else world now.
You wanted to use Mark Waid handling of Flash as a defense, but King himself already blocked that one. According to King the Speed Force is a very dangerous thing that the speedsters have to be hyperfocused about controlling so they won't hurt others. Poison Ivy was controlling three speedsters at once and she didn't have the same kind of control on their powers.
user, he said Mark Waid's Flash, not Heroes in Crisis by Tom King.
Now that I think about it, shouldn't the Flashes have been spewing out lightning willy-nilly, or can Ivy control the Speed Force?
>making shit up
Remember when this happened with HiC and it turned out to be 100% real? Good times.
And Waid pulled bullshit out of his ass and ignored all flash and speedforce lore before his run.
Don't be a hypocrite retard.
The speed force is a plot device you guys, it's supposed to stop this kinda inane bullshit.
>Remember when this happened with HiC and it turned out to be 100% real?
Because Rich the leech leaked it and his leaks are right more often than they are wrong. You're literally stewing in anger over scenarios you made up in your head lol.
What was that?
By the way, King confirms that it was the New Gods movie + something TV-related that led to him leaving the main Batman book.
Yeah, man has a million plans, just shout out for help. Clark will hear him
I guess Batfags go back to whining about King being the worst Batman writer ever, like they do every Batman writer.
>“What you’ll see in issue #75 is that Batman went everywhere looking for strength, and couldn’t find it. Instead he finds her,” King tells EW. “So together they have to see if they can rebuild what they were in order to fight Bane. That’s the ultimate journey, with the question that everyone wants to know: Can Batman be happy? And is Batman’s happiness a source of strength or weakness?”
Holy fucking hell, not this bullshit again.
Just admit that you were dead fucking wrong and leave the thread.
King can 'confirm' whatever the fuck he wants. We know Bob 'Harass'ment is a totalitarian douche who pulled a writer out of a contract because sales were nose diving.
I see lots of people praising Morrison, Tomasi, and even Snyder.
It's not my fault OP can't link an article. If I was OP I would just delete this entire thread and not make another one.
I remember when Morrison was still writing Batman and there was a lot of people calling it pretentious trash.
Just fuck off, but if you really have to defend King's shit do us all a favor and sage.
Years removed. All three of them had their fair share of critics when they were still ongoing, especially Morrison.
Why is Batman about Catwoman?
Because King didn't have a dad growing up so all men are simpering background characters in his stories and all women are the superpowered protagonist, even if they aren't actually meta and it isn't their book.
I cannot wait for his entire run to be retconned to a Catwoman fever dream while she's in Iron Heights.
King still on about that "changing Batman forever" bullshit, so who knows what kind of stupidity his BatCat maxi will have.
>“DC was kind enough to see that doing all that and a twice-monthly Batman would be tough. So they divided the Batman book into two monthly books, Batman and Batman/Catwoman. Bat/Cat will complete this epic story we’ve been telling and lead to this game-changing moment I’ve been hinting at. Batman will…well, I can’t tell you, but it’s very cool. But, because of the beats that will be handled in Batman, I have more room for my storylines in Bat/Cat, which means that the twelve issues can cover all of the story that was part of the original plan.”
>King continues, “I used to think Batman #100 was the biggest book I’d ever write. Now it’s Bat/Cat #12. Same issue, same artist, same impact, different name—slightly different.”
Get ready for Tom King to completely ruin the Phantasm.
That all goes without saying. King wants to ride the popularity of the DCAU and BTAS by picking a character from the most beloved BTAS movie, get the headlines talking about him introducing the Phantasm into the DC continuity, all while dishing a round of humiliation to one of Bruce's most beloved love interests from the DCAU. This is 100% a Tom King move. He's already went after both Talia and Diana, so he's merely moving to the next target on his hit list.
Talia, Diana, and Andrea were all DCAU characters who completely overshadowed Catwoman as love interests to Bruce, and that clearly never sat well with King. King is your typical vindictive and petty BatCat shipper that you can find on Twitter or Tumblr. I'm genuinely surprised he never touched Zatanna, seeing how his supposed DCAU fandom only resulted in him bringing different love interests from Bruce's life in that continuity to humiliate them. I guess Zee thankfully was never as big as the other three, not in the DCAU at least, so thank God for that.
But yeah, Andrea is fucked.
>I guess Zee thankfully was never as big as the other three, not in the DCAU at least, so thank God for that.
As if Tom King could make Zatanna any worse.
Literally a land-whale fanfic paid and endorsed by DC. Crazy that it's a thing that exist. I've never seen a shipper so brazen to write something like this in a professional capacity. Or for a publisher to support such a thing for some 70+ issues.
DC has literally become no better than fanfiction.net. They might as well hire all those Harry Potter fanfic writers to do their books now. I bet they could put better work.
I see a lot of people on here thinking that tumblr loves King when the opposite is true. Tumblr loves the batfam and King is shitting on them all the time. There was quite a shitstorm when Bruce punched Tim and people were partying after they heard that King would leave after issue 85.
>pstd
Post syndrome traumatic disorder?
Batcat is the worst ship. Id take trinityshit over batcat anyday.
Your comment is funny, because when King brought Wonder Woman out of nowhere to trash the WonderBat ship in his rum - despite Batman and Wonder Woman having nothing of the sorts in the Rebirth continuity - he couldn't just simple straight up shit on Wonder Woman like he did with Talia, since she's the motherfucking Wonder Woman, and showing her working together with Batman in an adventure where both are struggling and supporting each other through literal hell made Catwoman not look as good since she pretty much belittles Bruce every chance she gets in their get-togethers for girl power bullshit. I think that is why he pubicly regreted those issues so much on Twitter. Specially because it scared and enraged all the BatCat shippers. It messes up his "Selina is the best" scenario and fan wank.
>DC has literally become no better than fanfiction.net.
Don't you insult fanfiction.net like that, at least they never hired Tom King
