It sucked. The secondary characters were thrown in willy-nilly. The plot was a shit circus. The narration was disjointed, even nonsensical.
Feels kind of like All-Star Batman. They're pushing this new "label" but the product is pretty shitty so it'll flop and be canned before it ever gets on it's feet. The comparison is even more apt in that Azarello is usually pretty okay, but like Miller he seems to have lost his touch.
What's been the consensus on this? Did people mostly enjoy it, or no?
It was nothing but pure edge, typical Azzarello. Fuck that tryhard dickhead.
I'm only mad because the whole fucking batpenis thing screwed over DC's rating system big time, strong language or explicit content isn't even allowed in Mature Readers books anymore.
See the new issue of Doom Patrol, which carries the M rating, but has nothing in its content that would warrant anything beyond Teen, even the single swearword, "asshole" was censored to "a-hole".
Jaxon Fisher
I really didn't get the ending.
Leo Bell
my freind bought them told him not too although the art is fucking fantastic is it true they really removed batcock?
Easton Gomez
Miller did All Star Batman & Robin. All Star Batman was Snyder.
Joshua Adams
Thank god. I thought something was wrong with me.
Art was nice though.
Nathaniel Stewart
Batman deserves to go to hell for not saving a serial killer (even though said serial killer didn't die)
The Spectre condemns Batman for letting the Joker die when he thought he himself was mortally wounded, and believed letting the Joker live was irresponsible. But now he says "I wish he hadn't died"... and apparently, the Spectre, with his customary sense of twisted justice, apparently trades his life for that of the Joker.
I thought it was a lot of pointless crap, all in all.
Juan Bell
thats fucking retarded although i can see it stopping kids buying it where as a store owner would probs say no
Ryan Myers
>This guy has saved billions of lives over and over >but didn't save a serial killer once >clearly he deserves to die while the serial killer comes back Spectre is kind of a massive fuck up / retard, eh?
Levi Howard
as far as im concerned the bigger fuck up is black label
Ryan Turner
Then you're a retard, gotcha
Luke Flores
What good has come from Black Label so far, though?
Nathan Brown
No, the Joker is dead, but the guy from 2008 mini series that got shot in the mouth on that bridge survives and becomes a new Joker.
Nolan Morgan
I thought Spectre turned Batman into the Joker.
Lincoln Jenkins
oh please do tell us what amazing things have come from black label so far they already removed a fucking penis from an "adult line of comics aimed at mature people" i swear this board is full of little spergs who just try their hardest to come across as utter muppets
Batman Damned directly references the 2008 graphic novel, in fact it takes place after that and implied Joker died as a result of that.
Isaiah Mitchell
I think reimagining Deadman's costume as flayed flesh was pretty neat to be honest. Everything else about the book was pretty lame but that design really left an impression, despite its edginess.
David Brown
Well it does tie into his statement from the ogn that the joker itself is basically a disease
Justin Ross
Why are Batman comics always so dark and edgy?
Jeremiah Campbell
more like Bat Label
Robert Walker
Really didn't care for it, or the ending. Kinda feels like DC said end it now, because batpenis.
