Like this is what it was leading up to? Really? I am gonna get mad, so spoilers behind the break. Batwoman can't marry her gf, but King writes this so-called epic so that in Rebirth, Batman can marry Catwoman? Even though we all knew the 'well, we don't want Batwoman to have a lesbian...
I've read Vision. Multiple times. I know King is better than this, and I'm holding him to that high standard. Way, way too drawn out.
Riddler and Joker are murdering the citizens of Gotham, destroying the city, in an all out war to see who gets the right to kill the Bat. To choose how to tip the fight, Bruce Wayne invites them over, and offers them financial aid to the one who can convince him why they're the one who should ki...
Like this is supposed to be a huge event, but there are small storylines that can feel tangental told in a row. It's getting frustrating, especially since the Kite-Man story was so brilliant that if I don't care about stories after that, well, I just want the larger story to get on with it and wra...
I feel like so much more could be done with this war, and I haven't seen it yet. I'm liking this series enough to continue, but it's definitely has it's ups and downs. Still, a three star down isn't bad. I do hope this storyline pulls together into something cohesive, something that I car...
The revelation behind I am Suicide, the storyline title, is revealed. Bruce Wayne had to kill himself to bring Batman in the world so Batman is a form of committing suicide. I side-eyed it when I read it, and I side-eye it now. Bullshit. Fucking bullshit. Bruce Wayne still walks around...
Talk about a twist ending. Maybe it's because I didn't read much New 52, but I didn't suspect a certain character to act the way they did at the end of this, although it makes sense. They keep talking about getting the death penalty and being put down and they clearly want to live: betraying eve...
Let's just say I was like, 'wait, who's kissing Batman? Is that a euphemism for the violent heights of their battles?' Oh, wait, no, she's kissing Batman and that makes sense. Oops. I don't even care if King is laughing at me about this. Anyone who brings me Virginia Vision is allowed...
And again, I bemoan the constraints of crossovers: King was constrained, and wasn't allowed to tell his own stories. He does better when he's on his own, and both Vision and Batman make me think so: he's better off left alone to his own devices, able to manipulate the corner of the sandbox he's be...
