at least he didn't explode

>Lots of folks are listening. Probably because they never got an order before
Really? The President has never given orders to superheroes before?
More importantly, why would most superheroes care? The Justice League in particular has ignored government orders countless times. Why is Captain Atom of all people the only one to disobey?

did Damian meet his grandpa face to face yet?

Autism.

Leave it to King to forget that Alfred is one of the only people Damian loves.

No

Pretty boring issue. Not much happened in terms of plot progressions

This is fucking stupid. No government, no matter how corrupt, would ever brag about abandoning an American city and letting a bunch of super-villains take it over. It would be fucking embarrassing and everyone would criticize them for it, plus it would make financial interests prettypissed off.

So why is Gotham girl working for Bane?

This, it doesn't make any sense
>Gotham City makes us look bad because of all the crime
>Let's just let the criminals run everything, that will make us look good!

Bane when? It's like a sitcom episode that barely shows guest star's face at the very last second

>Captain Atom jobbing to King's terrible OC
Awful

Why see Bane, Thomas or the Batfamily if you can get Selina shoved in your face over and over again.

WHAT A TWIST except not really.

Btw, I'm aware that some of them show up in this issue, but I think it's clear that King thinks Catwoman is the only one who matters.

>I promise to be better for realisies this time!
I wish Bane would snap her head off

Poor Captain Atom
Half the time he's just there to job, especially if the writers are tired of making Superman job

King is shit at writing Damian. Damian is not gonna give up on Alfred just so he can beat up some villains.

So how long before the Tweedles are seen again in a villain group shot with no explanation for why they're not dead?

>S-S-She is just too powerful! Even for me!
I can’t wait for Batman and Catwoman (mostly Catwoman) to easily beat her

Someone please storytime Bane Conquest instead of this nothing donothings

Tom King is Cancer.

>Leave it to King to forget that Alfred is one of the only people Damian loves.
Tom king Hate Damian.

it's a batman is emotional and upset episode -
Tim Drake is Cancer.
Tom King does suck. Am I the only one who thinks he's trying so hard to be Alan Moore, it's pathetic?

>WOMEN STRONG
>men weak

Fuck King, thank god he's leaving

. King can only write so many stories about mental illness that are really just about his mental illness and he fucks his mom.

Kings Batman, it's so bad its defenders can't even hide behind sales figures anymore. King writes Batman as a reflection of himself, and it turns out King has about a hundred things deeply, deeply wrong in his brain, making his version of Batman almost unbearable to read.

i know King is a hack and a total psychopath and He sucks Tim Drakes cock.I just read the last issue and I don't know how anyone can delude themselves into thinking he's a good Batman writer. Even if the overarching plot/characterization was better there'd still be the stilted ass retarded dialogue and narration where everyone sounds like a meme character.

What exactly has Damian ever been spoiled with? Yeah, his parents are rich, but neither of them is giving him affection, attention or even a damn card for his birthday.

Don't you have some story arcs to rehash Tom? that is why people not like Tim Drake Fanboys.

>What exactly has Damian ever been spoiled with?
Tom King is a cunt.

What a pointless issue.

Whoever takes over after King, please have them delet King's entire run, DC. Retcon it, shit all over it, write it out of existence. Please

Careful user, the monkey's paw will give you Bendis.

Damian loves Alfred, but King can't be bothered to read up on the characters he's writing again.

Another thing: Spoiled? Come on. Arrogant I would buy, but Damian isn't really spoiled. He has two rich parents, but neither of them ever spoiled him with affection or anything important really. Bruce didn't even show up to his last birthday and didn't bother to at least get a present or a card for his kid.

King seems to flat out hate Bruce and Damian.

People still care about Tim? He's the obsolete Robin.

King hate Arabs. and Well King himself has mentioned panic attacks in a middle of shopping trip. So he most definetly has some medical issues. And how he writes Batman and that god damn awful Heroes in Crisis, it pretty obvious they are mental in nature.

>the Batman who caps.

I hope Catwoman dies.

>Timothy
Thanks to that Key & Peele sketch, I can't help hearing Damian pronounce it Ti-MO-thy.

The only thing King seems to be really interested in is batcat, His Annual is a thinly veiled gender reversal fan fiction based on the movie version of The Notebook, and I am mildly embarrassed to admit that I caught this, but his run pulls heavily on the Twilight novels.*But you're absolutely right, it's terrible, teenage style writing to throw other love interests and relationships under the bus to push a OTP. It's also a version of toxicity that most genres in general, and romance in particular, don't tolerate. Romance has a tendency to focus on how the kids choose and negotiate the relationship as that's an integral part of a single parent's life. The book I'm reading right now is a thriller, but the potential love interest is measuring the main character by her child's reactions which is very true to life for both males and females. No one who is not a frequent flyer with Child Protective Services would ever get engaged without clearing it with their child first, even the noncustodial parents.

God fuck ooooofffffffffff King. I’m so tired of this woe is me shit.

Ironically the only good page and most of the dialogue sucks, its just fun to see Kiteman have a Kitequarters

Damian hasn't lived full time with Bruce since he was 10. It's also easy to miss, but SS, AotSS, and Prelude to the Wedding all have dropped that once the proposal happened, Bruce checked out as a parent. We know that Damian has barely been home for months, and post Metal, No Justice, and the fridging of Dick, Damian has not only stopped going to Gotham, but his pets and all belongs appear to be out of the manor. Except maybe Alfred, who like Bruce, picked Selina over him.

Bruce might not even give a damn about Damain.

>Pretty boring issue. Not much happened in terms of plot progressions
Your first Kingbats comic, is it?

King I know that you don't read anything with Damian in it, but Damian has been shown to have earned the role of Robin.

It's just No Man's Land. Yet again.

Selina looks good.

>Selina looks good.
She looks like shit.

Nah

>King ever writing any women as weak or with flaws
nope. I can already guarantee you that the big final is batman getting his ass kicked by gotham girl while begging her to stop being evil while catwoman beats up bane without any trouble.
literally every single interaction between a man and a woman so far has worked out the same. the woman easily beats up the guy or the woman is the one in the right who ends up winning/saving the day.

shutup Damianfagalag

Bringing up that Kings Bruce is very abusive to Damian and we shouldn't ignore it .Although it is important to remember that Frank Miller writes Bruce as a pedophile, therefore it's likely he's a pedophile in every universe as he does utilize emotional abuse to control the pubescents and adolescents in his life and keep them emotionally and mentally dependent on him. Especially since, you know, the current Batman run by Tom King is really embracing Miller and establishing that it's the canon that matters. Plus it was implied in Dark Knights Metal: The Resistance and Dark Knights: The Batman Who Laughs that Bruce probably raped Damian before dosing him with the Joker toxin, and probably continued sexually abuse Damian and the dark Robins up until Damian killed his counterpart. Dick's visions implied that multiple Bruces really enjoy violating all the Robins, especially Damian. Since you are saying that Talia in every universe, even the ones where she's explicitly a good parent who keeps her child safe from harm and violence for 24 years, is abusive you should also acknowledge that Bruce enjoys raping kids, especially prepubescent and pubescent boys.

It is very important that people don't forget or ignore that canonically Talia is always abusive and therefore Bruce is always a pedophile.

I'm actually not really a fan of the art in this issue. Usually the art is the only saving grace of this book for me, but this didn't click.
I think I don't like the facial expressions

King out-Bendies even Bendis when it comes to continuity neglect...is'nt Tim meant to be exploring the multiverse with Conner and the YJ team?

No wonder Tim Drake. is such a whiny, impotent, hypocritical basedboy.

Look, I'm not a fan of King's Batman and how he uses Damian in this too, but I think you're going a bit far here.

Man.you dont see the big picture on Damian writing character:

>His Big Bro got headshoted
>His Little Super Friend got Aged and send in the 31 century
>His Mother Turned Heel Again
>His Dad is banging CatWoman
>He will be replaced by Tim Drake

His Edgemeter is turned so high that DC will turn him into a Sasuke.

What ever he's doing I want him to stop writing Batman and Damian.

King really is acting like her ongoing solo series never happened...I feel quite bad for Joelle Jones at the moment, her storylines have been rendered pretty pointless by this, and that'll continue for the next year or so while Bat/Cat is running as she spends the rest of the run trying to plug the gaps.

Yeah, wasn't Alfred talking shit on Thomas about how Batman was going to kick some ass when he gets back?

But in this issue he does nothing, I don't think he even says a word, just Catwoman talking

>He will be replaced by Tim Drake
will not happen anymore..

Wasn't Tim supposed to get a new identity? Is that still happening? Tim going back to Robin was a weird move.

King's Batman in general, and the relationship between Bruce and Selina in particular parallels Waiting for Godot. Especially the two acts where nothing happens, the couples who have been together forever thus becoming trapped in relationships that allow no room for growth or the inclusion of others, the two brothers who might be the same boy, the difficulty in sleeping as the other character keeps waking the first but doesn't want to hear about the nightmares, the sheer lack of meaningful character development and progression, the undelivered promise of plot, and people trying to prove that they're smart enough to understand it and the detractors are idiots.

I'm just happy I wasn't the only one to realize that King's entire run is a Waiting for Godot fan fiction, just like the second annual is a Notebook fanfic that edges right up to the borders of plagiarism.

That first panel looks weird because it's a weird angle of the side of her head. But I like her face here.

Attached: 1565165093845(1).jpg (1088x554, 105K)

So I havent been following this. Why is Dad Batman alive and why is he working with bane?

King's run may well go down as the worst Batman run in the history of the character .

>Tim going back to Robin was a weird move.
since Bendis is pointing fingers at Tim as the man behind Leviathan from the beginning,

Yeah, Bendis' YJ took place after Tim and Steph too off at the end of Tynison's Detective, it'd be easy to insert Tim's appearance here as taking place after the multiverse trip, but you throw in the fact Bendis is changing his identity and maybe costume and you're left scratching your head

This is slightly worse than what King has done until now. How someone can write something so shit and be liked so much is beyond me.

Batman deserves to be sad forever and Selina deserves to continue being a useless whore.

Oh don't worry, DC will try to make people forget about it. Hell King isn't even like Snyder who forced his OCs down everybody's throats. Gotham Girl is gonna be forgotten after King

No Man's Land at least had the excuse that an earthquake destroyed Gotham and it would cost too much money to repair it. What's the excuse here? Especially in the current year when the media criticizes anything the President does?

I'd feel worse if her run was anything special. I'm tired of every character I like having bad to mediocre books.

ayyyy King literally ignoring his own continuity ,

Why in fucks name didn't anyone at DC stop that shit? What the fuck are the editors and higher ups even doing?

King actually got his editor (Doyle) shifted over to Vertigo because he disgreed with him over Finch ding the art (Finch being on Holdiay at the time and Doyle didn't want to cut it short by forcing him to work). He's somehow above the Bat-Office editors.

That would be great if his run was a miniseries marketed as Waiting for Bane or something, instead of pretending to be a plot driven story then delicering nothing, and idiots calling it cerebral. I'm not joking, I've heard one guy call King's Batman cerebral.

Gotham Girl is very likely because of Psycho Pirate fuckery. Batdad is who the fuck knows.

>Why is Dad Batman alive
He was brought over from the Flashpoint universe before it was erased from the timeline or whatever

>and why is he working with bane?
Because Tom King is a shitty writer

What the...? This is so fucking disrespectful. Can Tom King please stop fucking over every character he touches. Does he even know who Captain Atom is? Has be ever read a single comic in his life?

They did remove him from the book after 85. Everything else was too late to stop.

I have no fucking idea. I don't get why Tom King has readers. That dude hasn't written anything decent since his visions run ended. And that's a mid

Batdad is alive because King has mommy and daddy issues up and out his ass.

This is why I walked away from Bat comics and right now, Vampirella and Archie TPB's are gonna be the only thing I read until they get their shit together.

RIP DC. Tom King and Brian Bendis have murdered you at the orders of Dan Didio.

Thank you for making me hate Batman..

Kikequarters

The art and writing wasnt really an issue for me this time. Nice to see it could end on a good note.

Oh I agree, I haven't found anything particularly remarkable about it, but it was at least building a world for Selina that I thought would be integrated into Bruce's world when the two came together again. It's less that I'm concerned about the quality, and more I just want line-wide consistency and an editor either giving a shit or actually existing in the first place.

I can already tell this issue will be shit.

>girls good
>men bad

I'm so tired of this shit.

it works for Baltimore, so why not?

Right now all that matters to Tom King is a) Batman loves Catwoman and no one else, and b)proving that BatCat is the best thing ever, and c)despite the continual drop in sales that has necessitated the inclusion of Damian in his books.

Which means that Damian fans need to rally and do what they did with B&R Eternal: don't buy, and write hostile emails, tweets, and other posts about how bad this issue was, and it's piss poor writing because Jesus, it's impossible to believe this is the man who write Omega Men and cowrote Grayson.

Tom King. He finally realized that everyone hated his whiny, ineffectual, low-T Batman... ...and he course-corrected by giving us a smarmy little girl who can one-punch Captain Atom, because Yas Kween. Tom will have a job at DC until AT&T turns off the last light.

I wouldn't even mind Catwoman and Gotham Girl one-punching people, if King didn't feel the need to write close to every other character as 100% incompetent.

>Eiffel Tower, ready to launch in 3, 2, 1...

How many issues left for King?

Eight for the regular Batman series, then 12 issues of Batman/Catwoman

He will end his run at 85 and then he will write a Batman/Catwoman book.

>85
it is over thank God.

They have to be announcing the next writer very soon right?

King sucks

Is he Nu52 Captain Atom here because than hes practically Dr. Manhattan

Catwoman is Cancer.

It's Bendis.

The thing is, every time JL appears in Tom King's Batman, they are used as Jobbers. Remember when Catwoman KO-ed three speedsters with a kick?

it is Tom Tayler.say BC

That's not good, but it would probably be dumb fun.

It's still probably Bendis because Rich is a fucking liar and that's the obvious choice.

>Bendis
Bur he sells like shit.

I feel like kings run could be redeemed if it was a kiteman redemption arc and now hes fucking dead

I´m genuinely worried for Tom King, is as if his issues are finally pouring in his work and nobody has the balls to tell him anything.

New game: Every time Selina says meow I get to slap King.

He's a big name.

Maybe not the best idea to shit on art on a comic with bellow average art.

Penids is a a big name.

>King seems to flat out hate Bruce and Damian.
Tom boasts about killing 'Arabs and children ' on His Twitter. Tom King Work For the CIA.

Scott Snyder had something similar happen during his run, the editor went out the door and suddenly the stories got worse

i m so tired of King. Like every time I see his name he’s doing some fucked up shit towards Damian.

At this point half of Tom Kings writing is masturbatory self therapy and the other half is "clever" references to the works of better writers.

I have never read a comic or seen a show where this guy didn't job harder than Boba Fett.

King is telling us Damian is a filfty arab .

>King is telling us Damian is a filfty arab .
Batman is telling us Damian is a filfty arab

This issue was horrible .

Bruce is fucking hallucinating.

So was Batman a racist?
of course Damain would disguise himself as a Pig man.
arabs don't eat pigs.

The solicitations for 81/82 tease the death of a bat-family member. I know that doesn't necessarily mean anything, but who do think might kick the bucket?

he hasnt. theyre just toys for his selfishness

Tim or Alfred.

Captain Atom exists to job so no crime has been committed here

He's always trying to pander to shippers because they're easily pleased.

>who do think might kick the bucket?
Damian is.

>Damian is.
ake a break from the computer and go back to wanking yourself to death, King.

>Damian is.
it is Jason..

And people think he can take Superman?

Can't wait to see Tom turn Adam into a cowardly ptsd ridden bitch.

The fuck are talking about? Selinafags HATE how King’s has written her and the relationship

>He could take Superman
Lmao.

Tom King won't be changing any of his plot ideas despite the public backlash . it is Bruce.

I'm not sure if that's true. I see so many shippers that care about nothing else (even when Selina is completely ooc) as long as she has a shippy moment with Bruce. It's really weird.

I'm sick and tired of this retread over a Chuck Dixon story...this is a run in which it has just been 1 long re-telling of Chuck Dixon's introduction of Bane and breaking of Bruce's back, with his father playing Azrael and being evil instantly rather than being torn down by his own demons slowly, he instantly believes beating his son will stop him...because Bruce always just lays down....then you have Gotham Girl being amped up and yet still not dying even though that has been the Damocles Sword over her head for HOW LONG?????

I'm done with Batman, or any non-mini-series, written by King. None of this is original and you must have such a suspension of disbelief to a point even further than we already go reading stories about aliens from space who look human and have super powers. King knows what he is asking, and issue 76 is obviously his bs attempt to prove that his story absolutely would happen just like Cataclysm...yet proving yet again HOW UNORIGINAL AND BORING THIS HAS ALL BEEN!!!! Bane HAS BARELY BEEN IN THE BOOK, and his team holds NOTHING to the Black Glove from Morrison's run that King is attempting to create in a larger sense because he used established villains and that makes it better...........King has ruined pretty much any hero he has touched (minus the incredible Miracle Man) in the past 2 years (He damaged Wally West so badly that honestly the entirety of Heroes in Crisis needs to just be erased it was so poorly handled and showed that King does NO RESEARCH about the characters past what he wants from it, or would you like to explain why the Speed Force lightning is suddenly a PHYSICAL IMPALING FORCE and no longer electricity, because King had the lightning skewer the heroes around Wally like the lighting was made out of Swords.........)

I, like SOOOOO many others who enjoyed Kings run at the start, are sooooooooo ready for him to be done with his stealing from Dixon and Morrison. E

He would need to bring him back fast though. He will appear in the Batman/Catwoman book right after this run ends. I guess King could use the Nain Pit.

>Batman/Catwoman
That is not Canon.

It's supposed to be a continuation of this run, I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be canon.

It’s actually quite sad how fucked DC has become since Dan let his friends have free reign

At this point, Damian's been shown in multiple books accepting that Bruce doesn't give a damn about him and has moved out to live on his own at the ripe old age of thirteen.

That's because it wasn't Pyg. It was Bruce tripping on some grade A acid and hallucinating that Damian was Professor Pyg. If you look at the body language, particularly during the fight scenes, and compare it to when Damian fought the fake Batman in Death of the family you'll realize it's the same choreography.

The butcher knife is the antidote Damian is trying to inject. The bow Pyg gives is the same one Damian has given Nightwing when he's appeared in the Seely run. The carving off a piece of the hog corpse and garishly eating it before stabbing it with the knife while talking was Damian taking the antidote to show it's safe and reloading another dose for Bruce.

His throwing the quote about the little pigs back at Bruce is actually pretty tame for a pissed off 13 year old, any 13 year old. Insanely tame for one whose father has just ranted about being still upset over being left at the alter, which in universe means Bruce was more traumatized by that than Damian's death. Hence his little huff as soon as Bruce starts sobering up, especially in light of how Bruce has never really let Damian in despite Damian's efforts, but let Selina in despite their history of her betraying him and choosing one more job, another scheme, one more break in over going straight.

Basically this issue is the explanation for what's happened/happening over in Teen Titans where Damian has started crossing lines, albeit nothing Bruce hasn't done himself in canon multiple times including Rebirth, and would rather die than speak to or see his father again. Just like the failed wedding is why Bruce went overboard on Jason, which if everyone is paying attention, what happened there and in Batman with the Penguin is also part of Bane's overarching plan that started with bombing the orphanage that Selina and Holly grew up in.

It's like they tried to be Police Squad, with Bane as the guest star who dies in the credits.

They just forgot to put the credits in at all, is all. Not even Spic Croc deserves the hell that is Tom King's Batman run.

You mean to tell meno one is watching Selina? Or Bruce doesnt have hundreds of overseas accounts for emergency cash?

Wrong. DC are preparing a massive change to Batman which King says will culminate in issue 12 of Batman/Catwoman, it's canon just the same as Doomsday Clock remains canon

Not canon.

Whatever. I'll laugh and spit in your general direction when Batman/Catwoman#12 drops

>my oc is the best ever
i wouldn't be surprised If king had superman job to Gotham girl

May as well reenact the who's-your-daddy scene from that Pistacio Disguisy movie.

You mean altar.

>King has ruined pretty much any hero he has touched (minus the incredible Miracle Man
You mean Mister Miracle. I swear if he touches Miracle Man I'm going to write him such a strongly-worded letter, it'll trigger his PTSD.

Tim is supposed to get a new identity, if he dies he couldn't stay dead for long. Alfred on the other hand is a real possibility. He has no own book. Has Alfred died in main continuity before?

I am actually angry at this, how worse can King get?

Not canon.

Even if they get together, who really believes that they will let Batman be happy for long? Some tragedy will strike (divorce, illness, death...) or a reboot happens and they're apart again. There is no happy ever after in comics. Especially for Batman.

I miss Tim. Sucks he's writing Damian like old Damian though. He may be the only character whose grown for the better since Flashpoint.

Tom King is Cancer.

So both Bruce and Thomas got out of the pit? Who won their fight?

So this shitty OC character is now strong enough for characters to think that she's a Superman level threat? Fuck off King, you're easily the worst thing to happen to Batman in the past decade.

You mad, user? Kinda sounds like you're a bit salty.

Another cliffhanger King has no intention to follow up on. He does that all the time in this run.

>You mad, user? Kinda sounds like you're a bit salty.
If your mom is lonely & want you to fuck her you can do it King.

I wonder if they are going have evil Thomas talk with evil Jor-El

He isn't though.

That's all you can say, that's all you can say, that's all you can say

Actualy, all indications are that King's Batman Annual#2 is the official canon for Rebirth, and that ends with Bruce dying and leaving Selina widowed. It's not a 'happy ending' but they both grew old together and had a daughter...and if you go by Neil Gaiman's "Whatever Happened To The Dark Knight", Bruce's reward is to always be reborn as the same person to do the same things for a new generation to follow, so it's more a happy ending for readers and writers that find ways to keep him alive.

Why does this entire thing seem so disjointed? Where did Selina even come from again? I don't if if her series is still supposed to be consistent with this one but last time I checked she was having the time of her life and the writer for that series even shoehorned in some random literal and tired to set him up has her new love interest. Why'd she decide to run back to Bruce and why is she acting all sappy with him after what she did?

Is he? When?

I guess it was too much to ask for King to respect Damian.

And you think this will be the last time someone writes the future of Batman? None of this is canon. Comics are designed to be never ending.

Let's read something that King probably should have read before

One more reason to dislike this version of Batman. Who loves his girlfriend more than his own children?

This has been a summary of King's Batman, but in two issues.
Have a great day

Jesus fucking Christ!!!

Isn't this also pretty similar to whatever Snyder is doing?

shit.

In failure maybe

Damian is pretending not to care, you mongoloids.

This is King we're talking about, I wouldn't bet on it. His characterizations are mostly shit.

Hey Tom King, I know you don’t like to read comics other people wrote, but Damian loves Alfred and wouldn’t act like this.

>, you mongoloids.
"Fuck You Mom King ",

this run is shit, but did magpie show up yet?

>Doing good is criminal now
>DC's Year of the Villain
If only we had such a twist

Wasn't she in issue 75?

Man, FUCK Tom King.
Captain Atom is usually the one to comply with gov orders, so denying the Prez is a big thing for him.

no

BENDIS WOULD BE PROUD
I've seen this face today in the Sinestro comic, where a Micron was dying with the same face.

No Man's Land also had a part of the plot where a clique of devil-worshipping influence-pushers have made it so the Congress would abandon Gotham, And That's A Good Thing. Bruce tried to argue in Congress and failed, and it took Lex Luthor throwing money at the city for it to be taken back to the US.

Captain Atom is an energy being in a vaguely human-shaped shell. The fuck are you doing, strapping "power dampeners" on him and putting him onto a hospital bed.

I'm not sure why he has to make such a big deal out of it, too. Wanting to fuck mom is subconscious for all not-gay male children.

I hate this OC so much. She needs to get blacked asap.

That's King self-insert

Damian has ground to brag. Tomasi had him defeat Anton motherfucking Arcane.

uuuuhhh, meow?

>YASSS QUEEN SLAY

>Why is Dad Batman alive
Never explained. At all. Last time we saw him in King/Williamson crossover, he was being erased with the remains of the Flashpoint universe.
Could have at least had Zoom bring him to Bane or something... Shit's dumb.

What the absolute fuck is this dialogue? Has bane suddenly become Voldemort?

How many covers of Bane breaking backs exist?

oh fuck off king

What shitty writting trying to ape Frank Miller. If Kings grow up reading this, i didn't surprise me why his Batman is so lackuster.

Whoever takes over for King, but I'm laying odds Tomasi does it first.

chear up you miserable sad pieces of shit

the story is great

don't worry you will get bendis batman soon after king leaves

Actually, Superman jobbed to her brother in King's earlier story. Well also the entire JL as well...

Given that their powers are based on for whatever they tackle it'll kill them. She is so going to die at the end of this arc isn't she?

I can't wait for King to be done.

> Bendis on the horizon.

Fucking monkey's paw.

So the finale is gonna be Thomas is pulling Bane's strings right? That he is pulling an even bigger plan behind Bane's plan right?

Not really, in the HiC crossover it's revealed she's helping Bane because he gives her access to his and Hugo's tech. She uses it to clone her brother again but adds Venom.

It... doesn't go well for her because of it.

Also, King is totally forgetting that story isn't he?

>lopsided front-facing portraits
>repeating panels
>digital blur to make it seem like characters are in motion
What is is with Daniel sucking so hard at his job? He's better than Janin, but that's not saying much.

Where's the soul v soulless edit for this and knightfall's cover?

He got kind of depowered in his mini-series, gaining a stable solid body again that can take human form. However, he's still able to draw essentially infinite energy from the quantum field, also instantly absorbed the power of a nuclear bomb detonated at point blank range and he can shift his molecules to go to other planets or essentially become intangible (while still able to attack).

So, yes, he still should be crazily powerful and losing to a flying brick doesn't make much sense.

Ok this makes it official.

I hate Tom King. Not just as a writer, I truly loathe him as a human being and I sincerely want him to die.

I would have rather seen Captain Jobber purposely throw the fight or leave outright after being told that fighting Gotham Girl would cause her to burn out, due to the power gap, than just see him lose again. That's all he ever seems to do. Also why would he show up before any other powerfaggotry characters?

>It's a nothing fucking happens issue

>Yeah bro my OC is the most OP because fuck you that's why

And this is how you can easily deduce King loves the taste of his own cum

I just hope my nigga Kite Man comes out as the MVP of this run

And when Bendis takes over, he'll have even more nothing.

Can't wait until a new oc comes in and kicks his oc's ass.

Which writers hate King?

That's an interesting question. Do any of the other writers even care about what King is doing? Do they even communicate? I know Williamson needed to for that one Button issue, but beyond that, what?
King seems like the kind of guy who isolates himself from everyone else because he's too awkward to function in a room full of people who are his equals or superiors and know it.

Gotham Girl is hot, thank you King for this OC

The only silver lining to this terrible, irredeemable Batman run is that Tom King is painfully aware of how bad it is. It shows both in his press and his writing, the guy is out of his depth.

Why would invoking the fear of falling make someone immediately loose their grip, King? You shit.

So when is King leaving?

Let’s get Tom King fired from comics, I’m sick of this bullshit. Together we can accomplish this task of making sure his egotistical ugly ass doesn’t ruin beloved characters ever again

Honestly, these threads have gone to cringing at King, to laughing at all the butthurt anti Kingfags who are still salty in the current year.

And as such, they're way more worth it.

It's Ace.

The fact that I can't easily distinguish between Tim, Dick, and Damien is a testament to this shit art.

The black guy, thats how Gotham Girls snaps put of it

when does he ever not job

you're gonna carry that weight?

This would be definition of "Mary Sue". Good grief! And why was Atom so malnourished, he looked like Patient 0 Superman lol.

King is out of control. I swear no one is actually reading his material anymore. Maybe he's holding the editor hostage and forcing them to print this? Oh! Maybe this is actually just all a really bad dream Bruce is having!

Yeah sure
Captain Atom bites the dust
Sure, whatever, trash can't become trashier after Harley Quinn beating Trinity in HiC.

Fire Tom King already, He clearly does give not a single fuck about any character outside of his own perverted version of batman.

It would be Villain Sue, if you really want to apply your interpretation.

This is was one the most infuriating issues King has written recently. Midway through the issue it got so bad I had to read something better to cleanse my pallet. Glad he's fucking off soon.

>Every day, we stray further from God's look light

Bendis taking over wouldn't make me see this story in a different light. It would still be a pile of garbage.

Detective Comics and Justice League completely ignore King's run and his characterization for Bruce. There is a reason I enjoy those two books so much more than this. Tomasi is maybe not the most the spectacular writer, but he does good work over in detective comics, I recommend reading it instead of this run.

Bruce "dies" as foretold and brought back to life quickly

>The solicitations for 81/82 tease the death of a bat-family member.
How so? I don't recall that

People are now crying about Captain Atom jobbing? Seriously?

Any excuse to hate on King.

It's so annoying.

Thank you

Please, just give Cap his hair back. That's all I ask. He looks like fucking Caillou.

It's funny. Gives some levity to his really dark and melancholy stuff.

"(...) Tread lightly, Batman, because not only do the lives of your son and trusted friends hang in the balance, but your entire home could collaps on top of you!"

"Batman and his allies wage war on City of Bane, but an unexpected turn will send everyone reeling. Will there be another death in the family, or can the Dark Knight break Bane's iron grip over Gotham City?"

It doesn't confirm that someone is going to die, but it teases that someone might die. That alone isn't unusual and doesn't mean anything, but it's also not unusual to kill off a bat-family member for the climax of a run to boost sales.

*turn of events

Sorry

I hope Catwoman dies.

King doesn't want the batfamily to help Bruce and save Gotham because in his head Selina is the only one who is allowed to do that, even if it's incedibly dumb.

Don't "correct" people when you're the one that's wrong.

I made both posts. I saw that I forgot a few words and made a second post. But now that you mention it, I see why that might have caused some confusion.

The fuck is a level four?
