I don't read comic books about superheroes or minorities. Static Shock was the 90's dude, grow up.
It doesn't piss people off since it is an AU. People don't get horny over any of the characters since the designs are pretty much the same as older ones from the main continuity. Some older fans are turned off by the use of current continuity characters and characterizations while the opposite is true for the few younger readers who dislike some of the older callbacks. The stories are short and self contained so most are resolved before people could comment on how they think it will go. In a lot of ways, it is like talking about a newspaper strip. People enjoy it but the conversation ain't deep.
>a newspaper strip
This is what comics were always supposed to be, at least when it comes to the superhero genre.
Not at all true. The OG cape comics were 8-12 pages in an anthology of 6-8 stories.
There is no conflict, no drama, no stakes. I like my batfam toxic and dysfunctional. Also, Duke is boring a brings nothing to the story.

What's it like to be born with a vegana?
Pretty great, thanks for asking.
Batman get enough talk as is.
How much money does it make for DC?
Enjoy the periods.
?
I'm so sick of the Batfamily. Same with all the Spider-people that have been cropping up around Peter over the decades.
I just can't stand Damian being THAT dark.
I'm fine with him being tanned and even slightly dark, but frick the way he's colored in this comic triggers the hell out of my autism, it's straight out of Tumblr.
>it's straight out of Tumblr.
The whole webtoon is.
> ex-editorial is a dickbabs shipper
> webtoon writers are dickbabs shippers
> Jaytemis is just dickbabs 2.0 in it
Idk.
>Jason's comics
It was a Jason comics in the sense the webtoon needed some brand recognition. Most Jason fans didn't bother with it, even outside of Cinemaphile. This comics was a basic b***h shipping fest from the start.
Because I hate the batfamily and Batman and wish they and all their fans would die
The only time I saw Cinemaphile talk about this was in a bait thread where an anon suggested DC imvest more in the format and a bunch of people said it was a massive flop. Nearly 100 million readers is certainly not a flop.
Zatanna, Vixen, and Red Hood’s all ended and they haven’t announced anymore of them, making WFA the only one left. Though with how much batfamilygays from tumblr and TikTok love this garbage this one is gonna go on for forever.
I got to buy those Zatanna and Vixen trades.
I think Zatanna, Vixen, and RH were all planned to be limited runs; they were plot based and ran for about a year. No new series is concerning but they did seem to soft-pilot Kent family adventures in WFA.
I think the point of these is more to put free content with these characters out there to test the waters
>tfw we'll get kid Jon back again but it's in KFA
Frick this monkey paw shit.
I don't think people cares enough about Superman and his family for KFA to be made. So, you have nothing to worry about.
People only care about BATCHADS what else is new?
See
If they added an ongoing story with some action and drama it would be perfect.
You do realize they can inflate these stats right? Just like they flood social media with shill and bot accounts.
Anon each of the 80 episodes only gets 50-150k views. That’s on par with most floppies and yet it’s free and easily accessible. Views doesn’t matter because it isn’t reads, it’s views of the landing page.
I’m not saying it’s a failure but you’re tabulating the total of the views, not even click-through reads, of every issue of a free comic online - metrics that can be bolstered by company and mechanized traffic.
Should they make more of these? Sure. But Wayne family adventures probably doesn’t even generate enough revenue to hit a profit margin and sustain itself.
They profit by making the reader pay to read an episode early.
Because there isn’t anything to b***h about.
>there isn’t anything to b***h about.
What, women and black are no longer counts?
They already exist in continuity books, so you have more incentive to whine about it there.
Since this seems to be the dc webtoon thread, why the frick did JASON’S comic end on DICK getting married??
>not Kory
Thank god it did
Not even Jason's writers care about Jason lol
>Jason's writers
its a glorified tumblr comic (in a good way)
If Cinemaphile hated this then there'd be a dozen threads about it everyday.
I bought the trade and it's interesting how they converted the webtoon linear format into comic book page format. The recs for other batfam comics they put at the end were atrocious though but I guess it makes sense for the target audience.
>I bought the trade and it's interesting how they converted the webtoon linear format into comic book page format. The recs for other batfam comics they put at the end were atrocious though but I guess it makes sense for the target audience.
How did they convert it?
Just resizing panels to fit a page. Maybe a more important panel gets upscaled larger and is front and center.
>The recs for other batfam comics they put at the end were atrocious
Post em.
Not that guy and not what you're asking but DC is advertising these as their essential Batfamily graphic novels in their essential readings catalog of 2023 lol.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's similar or exactly the same as what the other anon is talking about.
RHATO was good until the stupid fight with Batman (I was actually interested in the storyline about Jason's father).
What exactly happened? It had a sudden and weird shift in tone.
5G happened. The break up was decision that came up from above, but Lobdell could have handled it better
Of course they're going to recommend their new stuff and not stuff from the 90's.
I just find it kind of ironic because the tumblr-inspired headcanons from which WFA is based on is usually older stuff.
The people who read WFA don't know that and neither is DC at this point. Most of the Batman titles recommanded on this were not exactly made in this or le last decade too.
Some people in Tumblr are more knowledgeable about comics than some people here.
This is the elephant in the room that Cinemaphile will never acknowledge.
Don't underestimate how obsessive fujos can get over characters they like.
I'd wager most of Cinemaphile's familiarity with these characters comes from the adaptations. and a handful of the usual recommended books like DKR and Hush.
Which isn't to say there aren't a bunch of fangirls who are just going off tumblr posts and Ao3 fanfics and some select panels, but the root of these fanons comes from something in the comics.
The long-form format of Tumblr, the tagging system, and archive system makes for a decent platform for tracking comics lore.
Tumblr users still get unreasonably aggressive and butthurt about very narrow and contrived interpretations of long-running multi-creator characters. In that sense, they're not better than Cinemaphile and Reddit.
Also Millennials and late Gen X have a major hard-on for Post Crisis comics, even the weaker eras of Post Crisis. Gen Z-ers tend to be more willing to absorb Pre Crisis kino and some post-Flashpoint ideas, due to the digital availability of comics archives.
>Deadweight Duckboy ain't here.
Promising.
>Also Millennials and late Gen X have a major hard-on for Post Crisis comics
Which I don't get. This ear has its fair share of bad comics too like every other era. It wasn't really anything special.
Because there’s enough consistency and built up lore that forms mostly cohesive universe. We’re a generation raised on more serial storytelling so having a chunk in comics that you can follow along for hundreds of issues had an appeal. Meanwhile since 2011 there’s been a lot of reworking and flexible continuity
What's the point of consistency if stories end up running for too long aimlessly?
I wouldn’t call the post crisis bat books aimless
All capeshit is fundamentally aimless, but the 15 or so years around the turn of the century was a different experience from today. It felt significantly more cohesive, and you weren't confused about what characters were doing or what their backstory was.
Yes, but let's not pretend 90% of Tumblr just ride on the knowledge of the 10%, and use or abuse it to valid their headcanons. Or that this knowledge prevented the characters from going through massive flanderization.
>This is the elephant in the room that Cinemaphile will never acknowledge.
"Cinemaphile don't read comics" is not an unpopular opinion here, though.
Some of this is Storytime of Pain tier.
W-well at least's Seeley's Nightwing is there...
>Are you boomers, as usual, just hate on everything new?
Yeah.
Yes
Frick you
PTA Bruce reminds of PTA Joker from the Harley show.
Wait a minute.
BRUCE FRICKING WAYNE is on a PTA board in this comic? That sounds like it has the potential to be comedy gold.
I hate the webtoon format and will never support it.
