I almost always disagree with your reviews but Bendis is really bad enough for me to agree on this one

Pigs must be flying today! 🐷

Yeah this one sounded like fun so I'll the book a shot. It's kind of a riff on Mile 22 or The Gauntlet. I don't need a Tom King-esque exploration of Batmans psyche. Funnily enough DC has given him another mini that hes calling a heist story. The only ones that will be robbed are the ones that but a Tom King Batman book.

I know. I thought he had enough of Batman, but I guess not. I don't know, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to you. I felt it was pretty weird, you could tell this was an inexperienced writer (who actually isn't a writer). All I can tell is there's a big difference between The Imposter and this one. Maybe bigger than my ratings would suggest, I was pretty generous with this one.

It's a bit like when Daniels took on a Bat title where he wrote and illustrated it. If it's fun I'm willing to accept it as long as the art is good the story is entertaining and it's written decently. Its like McDonalds sometimes you just want to have it even though you know theres better out there. Imposter was the cerebral exercise Tom King wanted to write but didnt have the chops.

I haven't read this one yet, but I completely agree the imposter did a better job exploring the " mentality of Batman " better then Tom king did in 87 issues lol.

I actually enjoyed this one Merlyn. A new villian that actually works in the rogues gallery-unlike the budget priced creations Tynion threw at us in the main book. It's not a bloated pretentious vat of mucus like King offers. It's just a "get EMP to his cell" romp and after Tynion and King for years I'm cool with that. It has its shortfalls but the fun factor is working for me so far.

Yeah, it's not bad, but I couldn't get over the "logic" of Vasquez actually having a point about crime on the streets only to somehow being made the villain and guilty of the fact that Gordon sucks at his job.

Where in the comic it applies that Damian knew he was into boys??? all the issue says that Damian sees the interaction between this new couple and instantly figures out they are romantically involved. no where in the issue does it say Damian or anyone knew he was into boys for a long time. And yes Damian would figure out that fast, firstly Jon is his best friend and he is trained by the best (LOA, Batman, Nightwing). it would have been surprising if Damian didn't figure it out.

When he says that he's on his way to being the best detective, that he's quite perceptive and after that he congratulates him on coming out. Damian basically told him he knew all along he was into boys. I do find it annoying when I have to explain comics. And there was nothing to "figure out" in the first place because up until Taylor threw the "Jon is into boys now" out of fucking nowhere, Jon never swinged that way. So yeah, it's annoying to pretend now that Damian "knew" this all along.

I'm trying to understand something. If I remember Damian and Jon did a kind of worlds finest thing for a short run right? The age accelerated Jon didnt get a childhood and was flash aged into adolescence. As good as a detective Damaian may be I dont recall any hint of Jon's sexuality pre or post rapid aging. Maybe it's a kryptonian thing?

Because obviously It wasn't planned then, this came out after they grew him up and made him "superman". It seems DC wanted to change superman but since characters like superman, batman, Spiderman became so Iconic that they feared people won't accept change. which I don't blame, people don't particularly like things to change about beloved heroes.

with that being said, they approached the next best thing which is to replace him with a protege. so they can make changes about superman and it will have the plot armour of its a different superman.

Ageing Jon was a bad idea by a hack writer, that DC refused to undo due to ego

So it wasn't planned then but you ask me to buy that even though it wasn't planned back then, Damian already knew. Are you trying to make any sense or not?

I dont think it's "climate alarmism", its just that the water levels rose... is the movie "Waterworld" climate alarmism? Don't kneejerk give this a 1.0 because of your shoehorned political bias, this book deserves better than that.

And yes I've been reading your reviews for weeks, many i agree with, some i do not, but people on this site seem completely unable to engage in actual conversation with you.

It is climate alarmism. And I've given it a 1.0, not just for that, I really, really didn't enjoy anything here. And I don't understand the second comment, are you suggesting is my fault that some people are unable to engage in conversations with me? Or are you saying it's theirs. Because I have to tell you, I tried and I'm tired of blocking all the fake accounts made here.

I have six fake accounts blocked deliberately made to attack me, never mind the crazies that make their reviews about my reviews. It's not my fault they can't handle people not liking what they like. It happens, that's how real world works. The sooner they deal with it, the sooner they'll grow up.

No lmfao its 100% their fault.

I don't have a problem with people disagreeing with me. I do have a problem with people who can't take others not agreeing with them.

same

Whenever you disagree with me you're welcome to express your thoughts in my comments section, I have no problem with that as long as it's not trolling. And welcome here, hope you enjoy it!

Lol...damn Merlyn whatever you did to the Meamor troll you know you did it right. The bitch wont let you go. Keep doing whatever you're doing hes seething with you.

Climates change and theres plenty of historical record for that Merlyn. However man cant change climates nor can he stop them from changing. What was global cooling in the 70s morphed into global warming decades later then morphed again into the focus group tested climate change. No one's denying climates change because yes they do change. But we cant stop that.

I actually kind of disagree with you here, Ming, sorry. Man can change climate and the industrialization certainly has done that and affected the climate and not in a good way. You are right, however, that the approach regarding this is political, not scientific, hence my problem with the whole climate change movement. And yes, it has morphed over the years always with the purpose of scaring people to give up their autonomy. It's why I hate it.

If the approach was scientific, not political, I would be on their side, but it's not. And I don't know if we can "stop it" but we can certainly change some habits here and there in order to help the climate. Again, the approach is the key. Recycling is cool, looking for green alternatives is cool, asking people to stop buying cars, stop eating meat, climate lockdowns and the general doom and gloom of it all is disgusting. Btw, Happy New Year!

The polluution thing is one thing Merlyn we can certainly be better stewards of the environment. But the CO2 thing is quite another. Stopping eating meat or driving a car doesn't stop any climate from changing. Take the minute ice age of the 1300s through the mid 1800s. Its attributed to lower solar activity and less volcanic activity that period. Should we have encouraged more bovine flatulence to warm up those 509 years?

Anyway have a great new years and keep doing what you're doing to the trolls. It's great seeing them triggered every week.

They're different things, yes, but they're both not helping the environment. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those "get rid of coal altogether" either, not at any cost for the people. Like I said, I don't agree with idiotic lefties and their "solutions" to help the climate.

The progs dont have solutions they have demands for more power and control. Theyve always been that way.

Im a leftist and my issue has always been neolibs passing the climate buck to the individual and lowering our individual quality of life instead of holding the 30 or so global companies fiscally responsible for cleaning up their act. But alas, democrats serve the rich and republicans serve the fearful...

That's also true, individuals are not the ones who have contributed in a major way to climate problems. However, companies have found ways to pretend they care about the environment, to "play green" so to speak, while politicians are yelling at people that eat too much, use too much cars, want autonomous heating system instead of central heating etc.

I don't care you're a lefty, I don't care if you like Democrats either, in all honesty, even though I sympathize with Republicans a lot more, there are several Democratic historical figures that I find fascinating. All the same, between Democrats and Republicans, it's the Democrats who have chosen to ride the climate change train. If anything, you can accuse the Republicans that they don't give a fuck about the climate at all, but they certainly don't blame the individuals like Dems do.

this is true, both are trash

Oh don't worry the right has issues with the globalist corporations too.

Repubs and dems are two sides of the same coin. Both stink and both have similar interests at their core.

Bingo Merlyn the corporations feign being woke to avoid the damage from activists. Its just cheaper in their eye.

That's Tynion for you, man, he doesn't care about the story as long as he scores one for the twitter crowd. :))

Well, if you weren't a total idiot, you'd know the train derailed because of a bomb explosion that destroyed the bridge the train was on. But I guess it's too much to ask homophobes to read properly.

What bomb? It is not mentioned in this story. You’re just imagining things and using it as a weapon to attack people.

First, they weren't having sex in the book, they just had their shirts off. Second, the bomb is a part of Scott's history. It's literally his origin. There was a bomb used to sabotage the bridge by Albert Dekker. As a Green Lantern fan you would think that you'd know that. Alan has trauma. His love died in an accident that was NOT caused by their love or even remotely his fault. But clearly you are just homophobic and don't care.

First, they were clearly having sex in the book. You must be blind if you didn't see it. Second, Alan's origin story was clearly changed in this story, otherwise he won't be gay. So why should I consider the unmentioned bomb should exist here? Third, oh you think I'm homophobic because I don't like a badly written story? Whatever, call the police to arrest me.

Just going to put this out there. It's kind of hard for two men to have sex with their pants still on. Which they had. They were just making out. So you're wrong there. Just brushing off the fact that him being gay has nothing to do with the bombing? Because you blamed their having sex, which didn't happen on the bomb that you neglected to remember about his origin. And finally. Yes you are a homophobe. You wouldn't even deny it.

Don’t question it BIGOT!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

When do publishers and Hollywood understand that we want quality? I'm glad to be included, but not at the cost of rejecting a good project. It is more offensive to me to see a character they call a minority have a bad story and the way in which people accept this idiocy is more offensive. I'm sorry for my words, but consumers deserve better.

I totally agree, same thing with DC Asian celebration and from the previews, same thing with the Milestone line. They think they just give minorities "their" book and that's enough, quality be damned. I'm glad people like you don't fall for it. Sadly, there are enough who do.

Dude, google the "extra colors." Or is your question really just a confirmation of your homophobia? You are so mysterious.

its come from Finlandia's activist. That flag has more settings at the end it will be impossible to place it somewhere or maybe in a color combination palette used by art beginners.

Excuse @Synthozoid me maybe you are heterophonic, it is not within the school culture to learn the flags of the latest trend that they take out on fb or any other site.

Yes, I am 100% heterophonic.

Why would you out yourself for being completely ignorant on these topics and then criticize them like you know them? I don't understand the logic of that. These stories could be amazing or they could be trash, I have a feeling the response wouldn't change. Sadly, I can't trust any good faith criticisms of this comic with all the blatant homophobia present here. If you don't want to be labeled as such, call out the homophobes instead of staying silent/defending them.

See, I unblocked you because I tried to give you a chance but you seem to be the same moron and liar as always. Block again.

And the stories are trash, so is the art, I gave better books worse ratings. Don't worry, I'll still block you for being a lying pos, just wanted to be sure people get that.

Lmao, PDS

Lmao, bye!

Spot on Merlyn
