Tynion confirmed to be the Batman 2020 writer

Is he gonna relaunch or start where King left off?

>reject Priests Nightwing pitch
>don't give him Batman
I just don't get how they let their good writers get away

Starts at #86. The next "permenant" writer probably starts at #100

Why do you all even read Batman?

You guys could hate, but’s he writing a major DC event and writing the main Batman book, he’s literally at the top right now.

it's the only thing DC ever pulls, they should be called batman comics instead of detective comics

And no one was hating his comics, 7 years in the industry and no one ever complained, now watch as some autist slowly try to push him as the cancer killing comics just like he did to Snyder, Tomasi, Bendis and King.

Batman is the "Detective".

I thought he was a scientist

>Penciler and cover artist Tony S. Daniel and inker Danny Miki will serve as the artistic team alongside colorist Tomeu Morey.

lmfao Daniels and Tynion. DC making the main Batman book literal filler for the foreseeable future. This is starting to feel more like what happened with Morrison's Batman run, only both the main book and the "spin-off" are bad this time

>Tynion
Fucking based, he better not disappoint.

it's a solo batman story for people who were concerned about it not focusing on bruce

Didn't he do the No Justice mini that led into all the Justice League teams that exist now? I don't read DC on the regular beyond Green Lantern, but I was told to read that mini first if I wanted to read Justice League Odyssey next (with Abnett).

They don't, they just hate DC.

>any time King writes Damian or Dick its great
>"nah I want to focus on Bruce and Selina"
>this shit again
God damn it, literally Tomasi is the only person who still writes Batman and Robin story

I wonder if Daniels will actually stick on it since it's supposed to be going monthly in january
>filler for 15 months

Not really. The only reason they picked Tynion is because he's a good company boy and he's high profile enough for the gig but not too high profile to be filler.

There's some light on this darkness

>Including DC Comics intends to bring Nightwing back in 2020. Currently Dick Grayson is suffering from from amnesia after being shot in the head by the KGBeast, acting on orders from Bane. Creating a new identity for himself as Ric Grayson, the role of Nightwing has been taken on by several police officers, who he has recently been getting mixed up with. Ric Grayson no more?

dollars to donuts Tynion/Daniels run will only be long enough for a trade or two and to give DC time to find a headlining creative team for their reboot.

>>reject Priests Nightwing pitch
Priest pitched Nightwing??
What was it?

I’m pissed about this new. Tynion is a third class writer at best and has already written around 100 Batman comics. This is the definition of phoning it in on DC’s part

This. Tynion will only do 86 thru 100, then they will relaunch at #1 with a proper creative team

People have been bitching about Tynion and his nepotistic hackery since the new 52. Lurk moar

Really?
I've been saying his Detective Comics was shit from the start, because it was shit from the start.Not the only one who's been open about stuff like that, I think.

>Such as DC Comics publisher Dan DiDio saying that longstanding character Lucius Fox, the man who makes all of Batman’s wonderful toys, will be playing a major role in Tynion’s run – but then stopping himself from speaking any further.

>James Tynion is a "I do what the editors tell me to do" type of writer
So he's another Jurgens? Fuck.

isn't that exactly what the bc leak said? Sounds like a decent guess.

this is going to end up being just as forgettable as Daniel's run when Morrison had Batman & Robin going. Truly poetic that Daniels is back again for more of the same thing

I like how he handled Clayface.

Can anyone give me the tl;dr version of whatever Didio said today?

Are you seriously telling me that you like the disposable trash Tomasi's been pumping out for the last 6 months?

Not once did I say I liked it you retard, I just said he's the only one doing them. You and Tomasifag need to get a room, jesus christ

I dunno, it just seems obvious to me. I assumed it would happen as soon as King got booted. They will relaunch at #1 (since that's the same thing as #101), and there will be a placeholder team between 86 and 101. Looks like Tynion is that placeholder.

Honestly it's probably going to be Bendis that gets the #1.

>it's probably going to be Bendis that gets the #1.
Why the fuck do people keep saying this? He already has like 4 books, why would they give him another one?

Because by the time Batman #1 rolls around it will be 2021, which will likely coincide with Bendis finishing his Superman run.

Because its Bendis and literally who else will DC want to write it?

Ny that time one of these 4 will have ended
>Superman
>Action Comics
>Young Justice
>Naomi

And LoSH

What about Tom Taylor who currently has an out of continuity book selling above Bendis' "event"?

The question is, will it be Dick Grayson Nightwing, or someone else taking up the name "Nightwing"?

I haven't seen anything outright stating it will be Dick, only speculation.

I always thought Tom Taylor would be the placeholder team. It's possible that it's Tom Taylor who will get the #1. He's a rising star for DC and has written some good Batman. Offering him Batman is also the simplest way to lock him up to an exclusive contract (say bye bye Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man).

Taylor is also slated to write a December issue of Detective Comics. If Taylor doesn't get Batman #1 he's going to get Detective Comics after Tomasi is finished.

Y'know, fuck it. His Detective Comics was alright. He's clearly a fan of the best Batman era. I've got some faith.

>endless deluge of bat-crossover events
man, 90s mainline Batman is so tiresome

Tynion wrote Batmanadn Robin Eternal. He is one of the absolute worst writers in the entire company, and only ever got a job because he's Snyder's pet fuckboy.

Nepotism strikes again.

Tynion the Minion

I do, yes.

>He is one of the absolute worst writers in the entire company

52 takes a year in-Universe time. There's a sliding timeline for the rest, but this kinda fucks the whole thing up.

The 5-year timeline is dead

How so?

Oh wait I looked it up myself.

bleedingcool.com/2017/05/13/the-dc-new-52-five-year-timeline-unravels-across-rebirth-comics-this-week/

So, it's dead and not dead? Kinda confused how it all fits together now

As pointed out he did at the start of Rebirth. It's decent and you can expect some standard Batman stories.

Look up the Arkham Knight (Detective Comics)

I liked his tec. Especially the Cass and Clayface parts.

At least now Bruce won’t violently beat Tom Drake and Jim Gordon. And he won’t purposely kill his family like he did with Alfred. And less BATCATBATCATBATCAT.

Holy shit, I'm not at the Origin yet, but this is the Batman I've wanted since Batman & Robin ended.

I can understand liking Johns and Snyder but King intentionally fucked the comic just like Aaron intentionally fucked Thor. He made everything possible to make Bruce look bad, and we are not talking about "bad but will recover in the last second" he simply wanted to make be the writer that made Batman fall.

Inst that because Dr Manhattan is fucking the timeline or something?

Also im pretty sure Hush is also canon to Kings run

Fucking typical, Joker.

Tomasi's Batman is pretty enjoyable

So, what's the giveaway that it's no longer a 5 year gap? I'm really tied, so it's probably not clicking. The way I'm perceiving it is...
>Joker meets Batman 6 years before New 52 begins, so he must meet Harley in between those two times.
>Joker & Harley are both there at Astrids birth,
>Robin said Astrid was between late teens and early twenties.
So there has to be a 20ish year gap at the bare minimum?

So yeah, 5 year timeline cannot possibly exist now

I really like the set-up surrounding the Arkham Knight. I love that everyone was there for her birth, love her, etc. and the people of Arkham are so devoted to her. Especially Phosphorus & Arcane. Cool use of them.

The medieval theme is cool too.

I'm relatively new to comics so I never really thought this was a thing, no one seemed to like the New 52 and from what I heard most of that just got retconned anyway.

Nah he wrote Tec for a while. I think it was centered on Batwoman and other supporting characters tho. Tynion is a super safe writer. JLDark is pretty cool and he's stretched his abilities in that book a few times, but generally he's a writer that just carries water for editorial's agenda.

Good fucking first arc. Very excited for her return.

Tomasi is writing Tec right now, Tynion wrote early Rebirth Tec.

But that was before DC got all woke and feminist so I have little optimism for any modern comic right now

It doesn’t glorify her in any way. At best it paints her as a tragic character.

>Bolland park

They didn’t sit there and watch the movie with him
:(

Funny enough, he was the last person to write the new52 Batman book after Snyder and Cupullo left on issue 51. I remember really liking the story he wrote for that one issue, or it could be that Reily Rossmo's art carried it, but it was a fun one off issue and a nice way to close off the series before rebirth. Either way, it's not his first time on the main Batman book. I think he will do fine. Can't be anyworse than post issue 52 Tom King.

There are already other non-Dick Nightwings running around though.

So it'll be boring generic play it safe by the numbers cause king totally fucked up batman as a character. I'm not surprised. This is usually what happens after a controversial run from a departing writer. Let things settle down for a bit and wash the bad taste away with a nice plain water with a boring writer. Plus no one really wanted to follow king's shit show.

>You're gonna regret what you said about King
That is simply impossible, especially after the last two issues. As if seeing batman being mopey at a beach resort isn't bad enough, he spiced it with the worst fucking couple dialogue ever.

I just want this nightmare to end.

Fuck Zero Year. Simple as that.

Meh. Guessing it will be Year of the Villain tie-ins for the most part.

Tynion had less writing experience than Gabby Rivera did for America before he got the New 52 Talon book
how good of a dick does this fat fuck suck

they say fatties suck a good dick because they have an oral fixation hence why they are fat

Welp. I guess I'm just going to continue not reading Batman.

Except that unlike Rivera, he didn't use Talon as his political preaching platform from issue freaking one.

at least america is so-bad-it's-good. talon is forgettable in every sense of the word

It's not the best thing ever, but it at least tried to be a fun adventure, instead of just Edge.

All we know is that Priest wanted to develop into a character worthy of his popularity. Didio declined.

>but it at least tried to be a fun adventure
right so it's unambitious paint by numbers shlock that isn't worth the paper it's printed on, which typifies tynion's bibliography

Man, what do you even like? What is so good about your taste that makes someone who loves Tynion's stuff bend the knee to you?

All this tells us is that the status quo won't change. Tynion's BATMAN will be a slave to King's BATCAT, who will be setting the status quo for all the other books to follow. More 12 months of King setting up the rules.

>Man, what do you even like?

>What is so good about your taste that makes someone who loves Tynion's stuff bend the knee to you?
what the hell? I just don't like tynion, I never claimed to be superior nor did I cast aspersions at his fans. if you like tynion, continue to read his stuff. you like what you like

Well at least I know I have no need to put Batman on my pull list still

damn, I would have been fucking hyped for Priest on Batman

Jurgans is DC's Claremont faggot. Stop speaking ill on him.

>I liked his tec.
Meh. Court of Owls was stupid enough the first time.

>Especially the Cass and Clayface parts.
Those were the only redeeming bits, imho.

Sorta like Taylor's All New Wolverine where the only reason anyone stuck around was the Gabby/Laura bits.

It's been rumored that Bendis has been told he can't write Batman and Superman both. Him writing Batman means giving up the Superman titles. And that given the huge fucking mess King has made, that whoever takes over will have editorial up their asses and stuck with whatever status quo King leaves due to King not going quietly off the book unless he had assurances that whoever inherits the book has no fucking choice but to continue his mandates to the status quo once he's gone, instead of erasing his run outright.

So no Bendis on Batman, because he doesn't like being told what to do and being forced to not rape another writer's work in order to replace it with his own bullshit.

>Bendis has been told he can't write Batman and Superman both
You know that there's a literal Batman/Superman book that just launched, right?

I could see him weaselling that title away from Williamson ...

>Him writing Batman means giving up the Superman titles.
This is almost 2 years away. He'll be finished Superman by then
Stop being obtuse. He means writing both titles simultaneously

>being forced to not rape another writer's work in order to replace it with his own bullshit
You've literally never read a comic by Tom King, have you?

>He means writing both titles simultaneously
Oh, I'm aware. But I'm thinking of that as a stepping stone: slip in because you're already the guy doing Big Blue then use the fact you're technically ALREADY doing a Bat book to get your foot in the door.

>I'm thinking of that as a stepping stone
Also: he didn't do Avengers, GotG, and X-Men concurrently either ... but that doesn't mean he didn't wipe his ass with all three before he headed for greener pastures.

Bendis doesn't have to "slip in" anywhere. He's Bendis. If he hasn't "made it" then I don't know who has.
That being said, the only person that I know wrote both the Batman and Superman titles simultaneously was Denny O'Neil, and that was a long time ago. I just don't see it happening. His Superman run will conveniently end and then DC will segway him onto Batman and then he will have played with all the big toys and he can fuck off to less prestigious titles where he will languish until retirement.

Rucka wrote Batman: Death and the Maidens, Wonder Woman: Hiketeia, and one of the Superman titles at the same time in the early 2000s.

>Rucka wrote Batman: Death and the Maidens, Wonder Woman: Hiketeia, and one of the Superman titles at the same time
Well, the Batbooks are mostly dire and I've given up on this Wonder Woman run, but I suppose it COULD be worse ...

That's fine and dandy. I'm talking about writing ongoing "Batman" and ongoing "Superman" at the same time.

Ah, I see.

I mean, King and Snyder both wrote lengthy Superman minis while writing Batman. But ongoing...JMS wrote Wondy and Superman for like 4 issues before bailing.

Wonder Woman isn't really in the discussion. Writing Wonder Woman has never been a "top job" in comics and she doesn't come anywhere close to the list of best selling comics.
Writing "Batman" and "Superman" at the same time would be like writing Uncanny X-Men and Amazing Spider-Man at the same time. I have no idea if that last one has been done before so if someone knows that would be some good trivia.

Rucka was writing Action and Detective Comics at the same time during like 2011? I think that's the closest

JLD is kino so I’m in

>How bad is it?
Bad

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Tynion is shit.
DC is dead.

Batcat kills Batman.

Jurgens but a bit more gayer but not Orlando level. I honestly don't have much qualms about him. I thought his Det run had some cool stuff in it.

really? I'd argue Williamson is worse. Bendis too.

it is official. Tynion and Tony Daniel will take over Batman from 86. Its like they they thought " Lets get the blandest and most predictable team". This also explains Daniel's miniscule contribution to City of Bane despite him having an 8 month headstart and it being hyped up as his big arc. More than anything it also confirms that King was indeed fired as BC claims. They must've pulled Daniel away from the arc when they made up their minds to dump King. They probably wanted to give Daniel time to draw Tynion's run and to not associate his art too strongly with King's writing.

King says Alfred is Dead.

I'm waiting to see what will be the stupid reason why all the bat family got passed as the successor for Luke to take the mantle....face palm.

>for Luke
He is black.

I'm dropping Batman ..

does anyone really care about Batman, anymore?
Batcat kills it.

reminds me of bruce making a schizophrenic french cultist his successor instead of nightwing

I believe he plans to have Batman join Wally West in killing friends and then framing others while going to the future to kill himself. It's going to be called KING CRISIS

>JLD is kino

Dick and Tim just went thru tramatic stuff. Tim will say he can't cause now he's the Terror that flaps in the night. Dick because he's trying to adjust just being himself again.

Jason just doesn't give a fuck and Damian's too young.

Cass isn't a good Detective yet.
