God Bat-Joker is just awful. He looks like he should be some self-aware hyper edgelord parody of batwank/jokerwank but he's played completely serious

The metal, dark multiverse, villain stuff is creatively bankrupt and backwards looking. A lot of good artists are being wasted on it.

somebody has to have drawn a picture of judge death beating him with a crowbar.

is it Batman Who Keks or Batman Who Lmaos?

Why is Hawkman doing that face?

He is on the phone with his doctor. He just found out that the tumor was malignant.

Didn't they call when Earth 3 was invading DC, "Year of the Villain" too?

Why does DC trot out these "Villain year:, the Villains team up and win" events every few years?

he's eeeeevviilll now

That was Villain's Month and it was way better

>Mr Terrific's immaculate ass

Forever Evil was the event name and tie-in banner you're thinking of with Earth 3 shit. Villains Month is what they did right before Final Crisis

You're thinking of Salvation Run, which had a bunch of villains marooned on a random planet, acting as a prison.
Final Crisis was in 2008.
"Villains Month" came in with Forever Evil in September 2013

Not Salvation run. I had to go pull out box of comics from when I actually bought them during highschool to figure out what it was, but I was thinking of "Faces of Evil" the non-event where every book had a villain on the cover, but the story in most of them was only loosely related to the villain

>Villains Month
Oh, thanks for that. No wonder this Year of the Villain title sounded familiar

I will never understand the cultural obsession with villains. I get liking an antagonist for being fun to root against, but people who like villains more than heroes will forever baffle me.

Batman Who Laughs is a rip off of Judge Death...

In most cases the villain is the plot itself. The villain gets the conflict going and leads the hero through the story. A good villain can mean the difference between a story being compelling or being nonsensical and boring. This was one of the main problems of early MCU movies. Where they had simplistic villains that were killed off at the end. So when you had villains like Vulture and Thanos and Zemo, people started to enjoy the movies even more. Same thing for comics. Part of Batman's appeal is his rogues gallery and Joker is the most popular villain as well.

Eh. If the plot is dependant on the villain, then you've failed to write a good story. The protagonist, the character the audience is basically stuck with for the runtime, should always be the most interesting character, or else why the hell are we following them. Villains are little more than glorified obstacles for the hero to overcome.

I just want every single person at and affiliated with DC to lose their jobs. If that means i never get Morrisons GL "season two" fuck it. It's worth the sacrifice if I CN have a whole new group of people who love capeshit instead of hating it.
