Should've started with a new number 1. Why tf was it not a new number 1. It just makes me think it's gonna be like Tynion where he's really just a placeholder for the next guy. The issue was good though, nothing amazing but good.
DC are so bad at numberings. They don't have the legacy numbering like Marvel has, and when they renumber it's only if there is a relaunch or something. If yo more

I'm really liking this. It's good. I've reread previous issues and they are better than I reviewed them at first.
And hey, no missleading cover, eh? That wasn't so hard, was it Lowe?
But JRJR's art thou. I started rereading his and JMS' run and my grodd was his art so much better back then...

• I know that this is just #3, but did you notice that it's LGY #897? That means something big is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!
• There are things you don't know about Tombstone.
• Neither you, nor Spider-Man, will ever forget them.

"An enraged fan is an engaged fan" seems to be the stupid hook they are going with for this new run. Peter acts as if Ock is back in his body, he's an unlikeable little shithead in the book. I don't know what Marvel's obsession with ruining Spider-Man since 2008 has been but the only thing that can salvage the character is to undo One More Day and rewrite the timeline.

Peter's on the outs with the FF. He's on the outs with the Avengers. He's on the outs with Aunt May! No one wants to see Spider-Man - except for Doctor Octopus. Ock's on Spider-Man's tail and the Master Planner has something truly terrible planned for when he gets his tentacles on Spidey. All that, and what does Tombstone have planned? Just in time...
That would be a lot of work, since OMD happened 15 years ago and many of his stories just don't work if May's dead, Kindred didn't happen (meaning neither did clone Harry) and Peter and MJ stayed as married. And it's been so long, it just best to move on from it.
They don't need to rewrite anything. Simply cancel the deal and give Peter and Mary their child. That's it. May will live, they will raise their kid and all fans will be happy...

Asger reviewed Robin & Batman #2 Mar 10, 2022
How anyone likes this is beyond me. Batman is a fucking psychopath in this terrible book. Batman uses Dick as a way to find ways to take down children, and uses the excuse of not letting Dick have a childhood by saying he never had one therefore Dick shouldn't.

The only critique I have is that the super stylised panel layout can be a little difficult to follow occasionally, especially when the panels are small.
Other than that everything good about the last issue is once again present here and much more this time, absolutely brilliant. The last issue was amazing but this one just goes above and beyond, the few issues I had with the last issue more

I've heard that Sam Hamm had a different vision for the Batman '89 movie and that he couldn't get through with it because of all the people that were working on the movie then. Well I say to those people "congrats, you've done a great job". If this guy were to go all the way with it those movies wouldn't have got the cult following they did. I feel like he suffers from a severe case of white guilt more

A showdown in Burnside leaves both Batman and the Gotham borough reeling. As the community rallies together behind Harvey Dent, can Bruce find a way forward for both Batman and the city?
I haven't read the original 89 script, I just said that based by this, I'm glad Sam Hamm was kept in check by Burton and everyone else. If this is any indication of that, it must have been awful. Don't know what bandwagon you're ranting about.
But I can see you're obsessed with this since you're commenting on every issue here how this is superior to Burton's version. No, it's not.

Pattinson definitely isn't very masculine, there's a reason he was so popular in those vampires movie, men are not the target audience for those types of movies. But I've learned to look beyond that, for example Curran Walters seemed very feminine to me and he's been very good as Red Hood in the shitty Titans show. And Pattinson is talented so I'm rooting for him to make a great job.
