Tom King’s run on Batman will go down in history as one of the worst runs of the character...

>dick got shot and became rick

huh

"people" on twitter tell him its "good" though.

I thought it was good

As opposed to "people" on Yea Forums who tell each other it's "bad".

>He’s a fine writer
He really isn't.

He has the technical chops, but as a writer, he's dogshit.

They're on Twitter. That should be enough to tell you how much validity they have. His batman run has been nothing but filler since the wedding. This filler has lasted longer than a entire season's worth of filler in a anime.

Of course, it’s still very beloved.

Tom King here, you're really hurting my feelings and I don't think it's necessary.

Sorry, guy. Thanks for your service.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to make you sad! I don’t want you to be sad! Whenever you’re sad you make shitty superhero comics and try to be Alan Moore!

You poor bastard. Bendis is coming.

The possibilities, I think, are
>Taylor
>Priest
>Williamson
>Bendis

In roughly that order of probability (Bendis is at the bottom because he's writing Superman, and I don't think they'd want both of them to be by the same author)

I guess one of Bendis's friends could do it (Fraction Batman!)

Our generations rob liefeld of writing

Sorry Tom, why not take about 20-30 of sleeping pills and wash them down with some ice cold vodka? That'll make you...and US feel better...

>filler

Stop using words you clearly don't know the meaning of.

>anyone who doesn't follow the character to my autistic personal interpretations is a hack
Yawn

you neglected to mention that there's a very good chance that Yea Forums will be right

>mfw there hasnt been a good Batman comic in almost 10 years

Lol I actually remember everyone whining about how Morrison ruined Batman while RIP was still ongoing.

I remember a lot of people hating Morrison's run when it was going on. I guess it got vindicated in the end because of Snyder and King.

>it turned out Catwoman was with Bane?
I mean I don't like the run but that's not what happened at all. Y'all have cuck in the brain.

tter bullshit, sorry but there's no fucking way Gotham Girl can take out someone like Atom or any Superman level being. King has made his two pets in the Gotham's way to OP, their mid tier power wise yet he treats like their some of the most powerful things out there, Barry written by someone who can actually write a Speedster could take her out before she knew what hit her (because speed=power and Barry hits harder then Superman) and Wonder Woman is a far better fighter and Superman has way more powers at his disposal.

welcome to Tom King where no one acts like themselves (even his own bloody characters) and he writes them to serve whatever bullshit he is writing.

How much garbage could a Tom King garbage if a Tom King could garbage garbage?

Maybe his run will be retconned in the same way that Morrison handled a lot of the more out there 50s stories. Y'know, he was all hopped up on LSD and just imagined the shit.

Tom King is the most horrible writer in comics. He looks like someone who never was into comics who somehow was given an opportunity to destroy the lore.

wait that's not a hypothetical though

Tom King's writing defines what hip deppression is: shallow, lots of fancy words to sound "deep" and complete lack of care for the characters he works with. All he does is project his crappy marriage and life into his work (his words, not mine). A postmodernist jackass.

Tom King made Batman a whiny bitch.

Big boss man hated Dick’s name so much he had it changed.

like these going to be a DC long anyway

Based. As someone who went through an actual depressive episode, it's a lot less poetic.

Depression isn't poetic. In fact most people who have it, dont show it at all. King is an attention whore

>tter [sic] bullshit, sorry but there's no fucking way Gotham Girl can take out someone like Atom or any Superman level being

Her brother was able to hold off against the entire JLA. And Gotham Girl beat Captain Atom because he was cocky and she caught him by surprise. But go ahead, cry some more.

why and how the fuck is flashpoint batman even here, that should be like one of the first things explained

bendis isn't at the bottom, he'll probably finish superman after this stupid leviathan shit and take over tec/batman

they're clearing the decks from 85-100 after king leaves. hope you fags are ready for bendis/gaydos remixing their DD run again for the 4890th time. right down to some lowly gotham mobsters trying to overthrow cobblepot or some shit

Really putting the work defending this shitty run.

Honest to God, at this point i believe Bendis can do a better work on Batman than King. Stupid OCs and all.
The Anniversary issue proved this to me. Bendis stupid small story about the Penguin was a lot better than King shit-fest involving the Bat-Family joking about how many times they died.

Tom King is still in this thread huh

Remember when you were bitching about Jurgens and said even Bendis would do a better job?

No?

Maybe find a better point of criticism than crying about power levels that King had properly established and in his very first arc for Batman.

>batman the suicidal and catwoman the grrrl powa!
He is legit have one of the worst batman runs ever

He isn't a fine writer, he doesn't know how to give a different tone in the actors in his stories and he isn't a good storyteller.
It is hard to believe someone would do worse than Snyder, but he did.

Isn't Bendis up to bat? Cause the statement will be correct as well

>Doesn't read cape comics
Why is this seen as a bad thing? The state of capeshit is so bad.

>Observe, an endangered species, born to an evolutionary dead-end, that continues to cling to relevancy despite teetering on the edge of extinction as mother nature laughs at another one of her purposefully failed abortions
Tom King apologists need to be gassed

This run has tons of filler issues and plotholes, the story moves at a snail's pace, the characterization of most characters are off, explanations for motivations are either missing or weak, he tries to make his writing seem deep by throwing in poem after poem instead of using them sparingly for a better effect, uses way too many ellipses, he thinks having Selina meow every second sentence is still funny and probably worst of all: His Batman is so unlikeable that I don't care if Bruce suffers.

Have other writers done a worse job? Sure.
Is this run good? God no. This story should have never gone on for so long. King should have condensed his story to 50-60 issues instead of 85, it would have been much better.

I didn't, I was enjoying action comics for once
