No, you can fuck right off, Cates. We don't need Knull, or Vox, or CGR, none of that try-hard bullshit. I'm glad he's gonna be off GOTG this December so he stops tainting Cosmic with this nonsense.

So it's Tim alright?

Because he's ending his GOTG run in December according to the solicit that came out a couple days ago. He's likely going to take over Thor and stay on Venom.

Everyone in that universe was killed by Batman. EVERYONE.

And how will that stop him from making more dumb shit up and fucking with cosmic Marvel?
If anything that still gives him room to continue his bullshit.

Everyone and Tim too?

Well I mean, he has no other cosmic books... They're all ending before December.
Please do not ruin this for me! I'm getting ready to celebrate.

user, Knull will continue to be a thing as long as Cates and Aaron are in Marvel and who knows what stupid shit he'll come up with if he's the next Thor writer.

Why would you put EVS on that list? He's off making his own comics now.

More like he says* he's making his own comics, it's been a long time since he actually published anything just because he's too busy leading his personality cult on Twitter.

King's Batman run
Bendis' superman run

BWL, independently of your opinion on the character, doesn't fundamentally change core traits of a long existing character for the sake of controversy. Hell, so far he's been confined to a single story so he isn't even being pushed as hard as you're pretending.

Well I mean, DC published their solicitations got December and it's all Dark Multiverse shit, so that's no longer true.

The Laughing Bat?

Attached: TheLaughingBat.jpg (480x355, 21K)

Why is he more dangerous than all the other super powered dark knights? Name one fucking reason. Why do comic books, especially Batman comic books, keep trying to insist that being insane is a superpower on the same level as running fast enough to travel through time?

The point is he isn't affecting the comics you or I buy, so he isn't a cancer to comics. He's just a social media cancer.

God damn, Jason did not even fucking hesitate.

Because "insanity" actually means being able to see the world as it really is, without a filter. No bias, just raw data.

Batman Who Laughs rules, Yea Forums takes him too seriously. He's so over the top

More like the Batman Who Sharts

The dark multiverse is a concept, there are dark multiverse stories without the batman who laughs in them. So far he's only been in metal, the justice league run that spun out of that, the batman who laughs mini, who came out of that, the batman/superman book in which it is being continued and that's it. It's literally one overaching arc.

Zoe Quinn
Teen Lantern

Not even close to Batman who keks retardness, who is at his second event in the span of two years.

this

It's not just the insanity. It's the power of Batman's batgod prep time and tactical prowess, COMBINED with insanity and a complete lack of empathy or inhibitions.

At what tier is Perpetua?

Same as Knull right now

Plus he's augmented. In his first appearance he was breathing in space unaided and wielding reality warping cards and cosmic nth metal weaponry. And apparently a fuckton of doomsday weapons confiscated by the justice league of his world.

BWL literally infected 6 mainline DC heroes with Joker Venom turning them into X who Laughs and other terrible names. Which makes this really dumb because Shazam Who Laughs is the only one that made sense. How is making Hawkman, Donna Troy, Supergirl, Blue Beetle, and Gordon into Joker Versions of themselves making them into just generic evil versions of them? Where the fuck is the Joker in the designs for Sky Tyrant, Death Bringer, and those other chucklefucks I'm not gonna look the name of for.

Jason once again proving that he's the hero that we really need.

Actually the one being shot is Tim, the Batman who lmaos turns Damian into his own joker robin

Shut up, you'll buy his THIRD miniseries in two years and its hundred cover variants, and you're going to love it!
But yes I'm pretty sure the whole reason this character exists is to sell covers because there's absolutely nothing of substance to him, and he acts nothing like the individual parts so it doesn't even work as an amalgam. Just Marvel's own Coldsteel, overpowered asshole version.

What happened to Dawnbreaker? He was way better than the Chuckling Batman

Continuity. Fuck it. No, seriously, fuck it. Both versions of the big two, either constant reboots, or tumorous pilings of contradictory and stupid shit upon contradictory stupid shit are bad. They limit story telling.
If John Smith gets to write Superman it shouldn't be Superman 786-821, it should be "John Smith presents Superman" and let Johnny go wild. Marry Clark. Divorce him. Age him. Kill him. Whatever. And then the next writer does his own thing. What we currently have is a dumb situation, where half the writers focus too much on trying to follow the previous ones, instead of doing their own stories,the other half tries just to undo the "bad" stuff they don't like that's left from the previous writer and no one writes something focused with beginning, middle and end.

based

All other Dark Multiverse Batmen from BwLs team got seemingly killed off in the last issue of Metal.

I actually don't precisely for that reason

Why should people care about this Superman character if he isn't a character at all though, just a brand? That's the problem with dumping continuity, you reduce the characters to empty brands. I mostly see that used as an excuse by people who actually don't care about the characters in order to write whatever they want using the brand.

He actually is acting intelligently after losing his cosmic powers at the end of Metal and has never just appeared to face Superman directly. He mostly set up traps or sent Jokerized heroes after Superman.

This. Continuity ends up with a Batman that manages to raise countless Robins, join the Justice League, go on missions on space and at the same time has time to manage Wayne Enterprises, make public appearances as Bruce Wayne and go after Gotham's villains and still being 33 years old.

Elseworlds is a good idea waiting to be fully explored and Earth One was a step in the right direction, I suppose.

Attached: 980x.jpg (257x196, 5K)

To add more; I'd like to say that Batman Arkham Asylum in its own (excluding the rest of the saga) can be considered an example of my idea.

It's presented as an another night for Batman without origin story or previous background aside from the game's synopsis, it's basically a self-contained story that could be just as user said; "Rocksteady's Batman: A Night in the Asylum".

I think in general that the Batman Graphic Novels hit a certain criteria that I like surrounding this idea.

Is this some next level zoomposting?

Harley became a problem when DC decide to emancipate her from the Joker. It also doesn't help that they can't decide if she's a psychopathic killer who should be seen as a threat, or a goofy deadpool like joke character.

No comic sells out, especially from marvel. Their numbers are lies and just overprinted unsellable trash. Ho to dollar stores - they unload mountains of shit there at huge discounts. Trades for couple dollars, grab bags of dozen new comics for couple dollars. Rest get shipped to retailers despite them not ordering any or just mulched. You dont honestly think black cat #1 was the number 1 selling comic when it came out do you and was one of highest selling comics of the year, do you? Go to a comic shop and look at the 20+ copies of ms marvel or other trash they dont order or sell just sitting in boxes. They literally send comics for free and charge shipping to shops that didnt want them.

Honestly it's more about forced edginess and grit, that it seems fun, actually FUN stories aren't allowed. BLOOD, GUTS AND VIOLENCE only, and everything has to be dark and moody. Good guys can't win by the way, because that's the Dark Multiverse.

Yea Forums isn't one person, stupid.

>Yeah people went crazy to emulate Bendis after he left the book and not tried to separate themselves as far as possible from him
Cates is the ONLY cosmic writer who referenced the bullshit from Black Vortex in Death of the Inhumans. But sure, keep ignoring that.

Gamora hasn't been from the future for years. And no, the run has nothing to do with Bendis, which only tried to make the movie in comic form.
Also, referencing stuff =/= being the same as the guy who made the think that is getting referenced.

HOWEVER, Cates did make it so Cosmic Ghost Rider taught baby Thanos how to fight, in 616.

Bendis, not even joking. Cates suddenly was writing every single book at some point during 2018 and he was pushed heavily (still sort of is), but he never commits to long term plans, all his setups take place within months. Meanwhile Bendis commits to long term bullshit and he overstuffs his runs so you know he won't be off the book for at least a year and a half.

I think this is why I generally prefer reading limited series or Elseworlds stories. Wraps the story up in one go and you don't have to worry about reading a bunch of other shit

This is literally "when an ancient evil awakens" done correctly so far. None of the heroes have actually faced him, yet his cult (and obviously Carnage) have done more overall than him. There's a reason why he got sealed away by the symbiote planet (which makes them more useful than whatever shit Bendis tried) and yet it's obvious his corruption can affect these symbiotes as well. Hell, the fact that only Carnage is doing the slaughter speaks more about how this is meant to be his final hurrah before either the big nerf hammer or Carnage/Cletus is killed off for good.
However, still, the fact we're meant to see Knull as a big baddie now is still stupid as hell.

Plus he makes shitty characters simply to get the royalties from them

>Snyder made the stupid bad movies though

I'm saying he had a clear vision, it was bad? yes, but he had one.

As opposed to Rutherfordium, Bohrium and other real life elements?

But this isnt true. Galactus, oblivion, the beyonders and 7 other versions of eternity are older than Knull. He isnt as powerful as an actual cosmic abstract

>As opposed to Rutherfordium, Bohrium and other real life elements?
No, calling it Batmanium is stupid instead of Brucenium

Older as in created before or in chronology? Because Cates wanted to imply he existed before all of those, since he was there "before the Celestials".

Yeah, today everything cruel or violent is "edgy" or "cringe" and those are somehow treated as valid indicators of quality. The internet is full of cynical, insecure stunted teenagers that hide behind an "Im too good for this" aura while treating their subjective embarassment as some gold standard of media criticism

No indication whatsoever that he preceded the other multiverses, only current Eternity. The celestials die and are reborn with each new iteration of reality

No indication whatsoever that he preceded the other multiverses, only current Eternity
Which would've been the last nail in the coffin for me, thank fuck.

If you want to take the high view Knull is younger than any character created before 2015, since they all lived in the 7th multiverse and were recreated in the 8th while knull was retconned into existence as being "older than time" in the current one

Vox was trying so hard to be cool and edgy that it come off as cringe and trying too hard.

The superman character of each continuity by each writer can still be a character

Not really, it's simply Batman with Ares's helmet warping him. As shit as Jatman is, at least the concept of Joker/Batman is interesting.

And this a concern why....?

he likes shotas

Ok what the actual hell is this? Why is Thor fused with the brood? And why is She-Hulk looking normal again when everyone else is fucked up?

We don't know yet. It's some upcoming arc where they go to a galaxy sized prison (I shit you not) in search of the new Star Brand. Reminder that Aaron killed Kenneth Connell in a ridiculous way at the beginning of his Avengers run (think it was Legacy) involving the penance stare, then introduced the ridiculous Avengers from 1.000.000BC where some Hulk-like Savage was already sporting the Star Brand, because THAT'S how it works obviously. Now he wants to reintroduce another and it's gonna be a shitshow. Fuck, Aaron has been running the concept into the ground.

This would be good lol

what the fuck? humans didn't even exist a million years ago

So the 00s were plagued with evil Emo Superboy
And now the 2010s have evil laffy Batman

What's next for 2020s?

But he's still a plain old ordinary nonpowered human...that somehow threatens the JLA?

Ah man what the fuck is that shit? What the fuck man.

When he faced the JLA in Metal he had cosmic powers given to him by Barbatos. Afterwards he has only faced Batman, set up traps for Superman and secretly poisoned some heroes with Joker toxin. He hasn't actually had any direct confrontation with anyone aside from Batman after Metal.

An even bitchier Wonder Woman.

Sneed Lantern

EVIL Harley Quinn. She has all the wackiness and zaniness of Harley, but she is actually evil and commits crimes!! The Trinity cannot handle current good Harley, evil Harley would kill them all.

By not rewarding murderers

Gamergaters were a mistake.

She set off some bombs that killed some kids and had some monologues about it. I'd say that's generically evil.

Yeah maybe, but at least they haven't killed anyone.

If Knull can call out to the dead from across the universe and bring them under his total control why can't he just control the symbiotes that make up klyntar

also fun fact, literally nothing in the entire run has actually confirmed that gathering the codices will actually wake knull up, that's just what that cult thought would happen

Sucks enough dick she has leverage on everyone.
Metoo means she can just ruin multiple mens lives if she doesn't get her way.
Is a pathological liar including lying about having murdered a man at one point.
Accuses a man ruining his life so he kills himself.

She should be blacklisted from every entertainment company.

Terrible human being, I sincerely hope karma fucks her one day

Since the thread is dead no one will read me saying this:

This looks like 90s era edgecore fun, like tongue in cheek stuff

I don't even care about all the drama surrounding her but consider this; Hasn't Donna Troy suffered enough? It's already sucks that she's plagued by fucked continuity, second fiddle to Wonder Woman, and doomed to rot on a team book left to be forgotten. Now Donna has to face edgy Scott Snyder bullshit compounded by a shitty human being writing her

Attached: Deathbringer Donna Troy.jpg (2063x1884, 531K)

>tl;dr Twitter drama crap
Nobody cares, she's a blip compared to any other example in this thread. Begone.
Cates has zero nuance about these things, if he has a cult saying they'll wake him up, that's what's going to happen. So far he hasn't introduced a twist in which a character says one thing and something entirely different happens.

>Perpetua
so like
i remember reading about her, and shit like the Strength Force and the Ultra Violet Lanterns and thought it sounded super fucking dumb
is that all better in practice.

Didn't Titans already do an evil Donna storyline a few years ago as well?

I know "a rando said it so its true" would be the case based on the writing, but it's a fun fact nonetheless

Yeah I think it was a future evil Donna Troy if I recall.

Neither has Quinn
you honestly wouldn't have cared about one shitty dude offing himself until her name was attached

Does it seriously not concern you how this chick just keeps getting gigs even though she's shown to be a total cunt?

I swear, people just overlook things these days. She may not be a full on terminal cancer, but that doesn't mean that she should be left alone to keep on wrecking things.

>he keeps going
Pity (You)
I'm not actually following it much to be honest, but I assumed the endgame of the event is to actually bring the guy in and have them fight him, right? There has to be a pintt to this and the whole Silver Surfer Black thing, otherwise they're just stringing him along to make people care about a threat that might not even happen.

Strength force and sage force are pretty dumb and derivative. I'd say the concepts behind the Still Force and the Ultraviolet Spectrum are better thought out, and so is Perpetua, although many would disagree

shitty writers get gigs all the time, dont pretend its an apocolitic problem now just cause its a woman whos social media you dont like.

Not him, and I think it's silly to say she'll "ruin the entire industry", but I am concerned about her working over at DC. But then again, she may be what we need over there right now in the sense that whatever drama she may drum up it COULD cause a shift in editorial power. Well that's just bullshit theory I'm just talking out loud about. I'm more concerned about what happens to Donna Troy in the fallout

Carnage is already the threat
Knull doesn't need to do anything, and if Cates has a single writer's bone in his body, he won't

I didn't give a shit about her until her false allegations cost a man his life

>social media you dont like
A man is dead

the false accusations that were repeatedly corroborated even by former co-workers, colleges and even his family?

I just want the guy to be done with, but what you're saying is also true, if he's not a full blown back, he shouldn't go all the way in I guess. Still hoping he doesn't get involved in a huge galactic threat or some shit anytime soon.

Also let's fucking stop giving (You)'s to the gamergater faggots shitting our fucking grievances thread, please? It's not difficult.

I fucking love this, not gonna lie.

>the false accusations that were repeatedly corroborated even by former co-workers, colleges and even his family?
Being an asshole to coworkers =/= sexual assault. Do some actual research into this instead of just parroting what her defenders are posting on twitter.

Que?

The Batman who Laughs is the most hilarious representation of modern DC. How do we make a new popular character? Just combine our other two most popular characters, Batman and the Joker lmao

So let me get this straight; this guy is butthurt because he's being compared to every other play pretend faggot and argues HE does it better because he went to a shit performing arts class and understands proper lighting? Joker fandom really is fucking nuts. Oh, and he probably shouldn't have worn glasses because that instantly makes it a shit cosplay

I'm willing to bet money that Yea Forums could come up with a better amalgam villain than Batman Who Laughs.

The glasses are so he can see through society's lies. They're part of the outfit.

The Wonder Who Lies, an amalgam between The Question and Wonder Woman, with an inverted Lasso of Truth.

Marvel Comics.

you know the Batman who laughs is one thing, but the face that hes the leader of an Evil Bat-JLA who serve the Evil Bat God who wants to destroy the universe(s) is really the tipping point.
its not just combining the popular character its Bat Wank to the extreme and not even in a fun way. everything is dark gritty and "Batman is one bad day from being the worst villain ever" bullsht

>repeatedly corroborated even by former co-workers, colleges and even his family?
They weren't.

Nah it's got to be a mix of hero and villain. How about "The Flash Who Walks" being a mix between Turtle and Flash who makes the entire planet run slow kind of like a twist on Zoom. Or how about "The Wonder Woman Who Sheds" being of course part Cheetah

It's just too much, user. I'm a full casual about DC but the only thing I liked about this Dark Multiverse thing was when the Seven Soldiers got involved and Sideways was a thing, because I was really drawn to that character. Too bad he's in limbo now.

Attached: batmen_who_laugh.jpg (800x450, 109K)

the whole Dark Multiverse concept isnt bad either, splinter timelines and bad universes that essentially self destruct under their own flawed concept is cool in theory but the fact that its only used to spawn evil bat people

Because Batman doesn't belong in the Justice League Universe. Batman is best when he is a detective beating the shit out of criminals with the occasional super villain to call his sanity into question. Batman beating up Darkseid is retarded.

It's fine as a never ending list of doomed Earths but it being a evil hero factory is shit. It's not just evil Batmen.

>joker wears glasses

The timing is just too drum up phony controversy for marketing. Ignore it.

i DONT agree with that, him being the JLA's detective and resident srs business man works in a lot of stories and in stuff like DCAU
but too amyn writers make him a super genious one step a head of everyone ever

Have you guys heard about the Dark Multiverse comics that are coming out? From what I've heard, it seems like we're gonna see more of the Dark Multiverse and we'll get to see that it's less of an evil hero factory but more of it just being a bunch of universes with bad ends. Some of which that results in evil or corrupted heroes of course.

In the Batman Who laughs comics, it really seems like it's the case, as there are some Batmen who appear, pulled out from the Dark Multiverse who aren't really near as evil as even Deathstroke, such as one Batman who runs Arkham Asylum.

Well that can of worms was opened decades ago. He's a founder member anyways, like he's been a member of the league since the 60s.

On a meta sense batman has more iconic/symbolic power than any hero barring superman, and symbols are really important in the cosmology of the DC Universe. That's kind of the idea behind Barbatos. Batman takes a symbol of ultimate darkness and repurposes it for good, and so ultimate darkness strikes back with his doubts and nightmares

I'm sorry, I fucked up, I posted something from a previous thread instead of reporting one of these shitty memes. I'm just tired. Ignore it!

>Dick gets shot and is now Ric
>Wally kills a ton of heroes
>Roy fucking dies
>Donna is now infected
Man, the Titans sure are very unlucky

can you explain these points better?
cause some of these are wacky sounding
also Black Wally or White Wally?

they should kill batman

Knull, kassy quincaid, not having Singularity on the Champion or the runaways.

Dick/Ric is becoming a Talon and might possibly be the Other that's been messing with Damian's TT.
Original Wally went insane at a psychiatric facility for heroes and killed a bunch of people including Roy, Kid/Red Devil and some other Titans characters.

Starfire and Cyborg are brainwashed and working for Darkseid.

Donna is infected by a virus that makes her a pawn of Batman Who Laughs.

The only TT characters who aren't derailed(yet) are Beast Boy, Raven and Terra.

Dick got shot in the head, got amnesia and is now Ric, doesn't care about getting his old memories back.

are these all from the same writer? or do people just love fucking with the side kicks?

>The only TT characters who aren't derailed(yet) are Beast Boy, Raven and Terra.
Also Garth.

You can thank Tom King for Dick getting shot and Wally accidentally killing Roy and many others in the Sanctuary.
Starfire and Cyborg becoming Darkseid's bitches (along with Azrael btw) happened in Justice League Odyssey, so that's on Joshua Williamson.
And I guess you could blame Scott Snyder for what happened to Donna, since the Batman who lmaos was apparently his idea in the first place.

didio does actually yeah

williamson hasn't written odyssey since like issue 4

Diamond Comic Distribution

King is responsible for Wally's current condition.

Abnett is the one who came up with Cyborg and Starfire becoming pawns of Darkseid in JLO.

I assume that Snyder is responsible for Donna's fate since he came up with the concept of 'Batman Who Laughs infects characters turning them into evil versions of themselves.'

Allegedly, Didio has an agenda against the Titans because having them around 'ages' their mentors.
I always forget about Garth and luckily, the people running DC seem to have forgotten him too. Who knows what they'd do to him if they remembered he existed.

>williamson hasn't written odyssey since like issue 4
My bad, I just googled "Justice League Odyssey" and saw his name right away.

>that guy's fw hey kid wanna

Imagine writing something this tryhard and still censoring the swear words.

Remember, Linkin Park had no swear words in their musi either.

I think the only "wrongthink" going on in this thread is pretending that any of this nonsense with Knull, Carnage and Batman Who Laughs is any good.

Fuck this distribution bullshit. I would've been buying comics if the nearest comic book store with any reasonable catalogue isn't a 45 minute drive away. The only comics the nearby bookstores stock up on are the few measly picks out of literally any run, so fuck that too. There's no way I'm going to buy a single issue out of a 50 issue run because that's the only one they bother to stock up on.

Batman resists the same toxin shit that turned "The Batman Who Laughs" (which is how Batman and everyone else unironically refers to this character to anyone else they're talking to. I mean, fuck that's a long name to be throwing out there during action scenes.) into The Batman Who Keks. And the guy sort of kills himself? Or Joker helps kill him? I've already forgotten.

Underneath the DC Multiverse there is the Dark Multiverse.
The Dark Multiverse is not stable; it is made up of all the universes that are 'bad', and those universes are generated, from the 'Forge', a central creative node which churns out new universes, by the aspirations, dreams and nightmares of the beings in the 'Light' Multiverse. It used to be that the 'World Forger', basically a creator god (He's the brother of the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor... oh god it's so dumb) hammered the universes from the Forge into real existence his studio, then sent them up into the Light Multiverse, while the 'failed' universes - which are, as I said, unstable - were destroyed by Barbathos, a dragon created by the Forger.
But Barbathos grew bored or something, killed the Forger and decided the Light Universe had to be destroyed. So now the Dark Multiverse is choking with short-lived 'bad' universes filled with the worst nightmares of mostly superheroes.
Barbathos gathered seven of the scariest Batman versions he could find as his soldiers - and their leader was the Batman who Laughs, who is what happens if Batman is infected with a toxin inside the Joker's heart, which is released when he dies and turns the nearest person into the new Joker.
The spiky thing on his head is a Batmanium visor which allows him to see all possibilities at once.

Oh god it is so dumb.

You're a piece of shit.

I can't agree, god. It's not that bad a concept.

But yeah, he is definitely being shoved up Marvel's distended asshole.

It was retconned in Marvel Knights when he told Heaven to fuck off.

That's not a retcon but a confirmation. He rejected Heaven's help and remains indentured to Hell and Olivier, presumably so long as he wears the skull.
