So is this it?
Is the multiverse just gonna be used for 24/7 member berries to make you go "I REMEMBER OLD THING" and disguise that the story's shit?

Yes, you idiot.
That and that they're following a trend in which multiverses collide or are explored, the same way movie studios tried running on the trend of interconnected movie universes
Yes, that's been the case since the very beginning. Good job catching on, slowpoke.
This issue sold out so it's working.
>i am yet again siding with the shittiest thing possible and i am bragging and gloating about how it's working
Telltale signs that you were bullied in high school.
Why are you conflating cynicism with allegiance, you shitty little autistic gay
Someone please explain to me what the hell this page is supposed to mean.
That's Batman of Zur En Ahh. Batman's psycho backup personality who was originally an alien from another planet ti it got retconned by Morrison I think.
I KNOW that's Batman from ZEA, and I know about the retcon, what I don't understand is the context of this page, why the hell are all the Batmen also ZEA now? Even the ones where it makes absolutely no sense. And why there? Is this metaphorical? Why is Bruce seeing this? What did Batman of ZEA had to do with this part of the story?
Batman had just chased a Joker (Joker Prime actually, who is responsible for the creation of every Joker) across the multiverse and encountered all of these other Batman, and I suppose the encounter triggered the ZEA versions of all of them.
>Joker Prime actually, who is responsible for the creation of every Joker
I almost want to start reading new comics again just to see how trashy and uncreative they can get, seems like it might double back around and start being fun somehow.
It kind of is. I respected the audacity of it all.
I felt the same way about Batman Metal, but that seemed to go off a cliff and santered around too much to stick a clean landing.
>Batman had just chased a Joker
He specifically wasn't a Joker, he wasn't crazy, not Joker crazy at least.
>Joker Prime actually, who is responsible for the creation of every Joker
I thought he was just messing with time and space, creating anomalies by reviving, creating and powering up Jokers.
>I suppose the encounter triggered the ZEA versions of all of them.
But WHY? ZEA was only relevant for like 2 issues when he was still fighting Failsafe, what does he have to do with any of this?
>he infected his other selves with zur
Ah, sure, I forgot Batman of ZEA is some kind of Bat-virus now.
Batman was psychically linked to the Bruce's of the multiverse and when he bounced around trying to catch not!joker he infected his other selves with zur
I'm sorry, I felt like a mark, but I really loved that issue. I'm tired of multiverse stuff too, but I liked this a lot.
bat shark repellent was nice. i liked that.
That was a great moment.
What do you think Roy Thomas used it for?
Literally always has been. The story the concept was introduced in was memba golden age flash.
>always
No.
Yes. Have you read Flash of Two Worlds?
Have you read Luther Arkwright? Captain Britain?
Have you?
Yes. Have you?
Yes. Have you?
that's what multiverses have always been used for
>I like batman because he's realistic
I guess it's been a couple weeks since you complained about this. Carry on.
That's what comic multiverses always were, they were invented so that the 5 people still reading Flash when Flash of 2 Worlds came out could basedface over Jay. Absolutely cancerous and diametrically opposed to real storytelling from the beginning.
The 5 readers still left over from the Golden Age I mean.
Screw it, maybe I'll give this a look. What comic is that in and what do I need to read first in order for it not to be total gibberish?
Also same question for the whole Dark Nights phase of DC slop if someone itt doesn't mind giving me a reading order. Seeing people seriously discuss Flash going into the speedforce so he could power up to beat up Doctor Manhattan and prevent hot topic Darkseid-Batman from eating the multiverse was definitely one of the highlights of going on comics boards when snydershit was going on. But there are like a million books that came out of that and I never got around to it.
It's the most recent issue of Batman, but you should start from the beginning of Chip Zdarsky's run. #125
Also Batman survives falling from Space. They really don't give a fuck in this run.
>Flash is Two Worlds is for le memberberries basedfacing XDXD
I hate this kind of cretinous, smoothbrained thinking. JJ Abrams' Star Trek and Star Wars are memberberries because he relies on people's memories of old stuff, without understanding why those old things worked. That kind of thinking infected modern entertainment writing and now you have zombie complainers mindlessly thinking "Mulitverse is... le bad!" because of modern hackery.
Something like Flash of Two Worlds took the time to establish a reasonably logical framework for it.
>Origin establishes Barry became the Flash because got powers and he was inspired by Jay Garrick comics
>Ok, what happens if Barry encounters a world where his favorite superhero is real?
You didn't need to read 1940s Flash comics to understand that.
If JJ did Flash of Two Worlds he'd break something established about the Flash's powers to get to that point and try to redo an old Golden Age Flash comic beat by beat without understanding why it worked, and then blow up some other established DC landmark or city for the shock factor
establishes Barry became the Flash because got powers and he was inspired by Jay Garrick comics
>>Ok, what happens if Barry encounters a world where his favorite superhero is real?
The hilarious thing is that before that story there was a retcon
Wildcat was also from a world that Green lantern was a comic and became the Wildcat because a child told Alan Scott story and what a superhero is but later they both team up in the JSA
DAMN, I wish Abed was Batman.
>Is the multiverse just gonna be used for 24/7 member berries to make you go "I REMEMBER OLD THING" and disguise that the story's shit?
Anon. All capeshit does this with everything, and the multiverse as a concept has been made to allow writers to do this while having fun with it. Yes. The medium that is nothing but memberberries is doing memberberry shit. I'm honestly kind of shocked you're saying this.
Most people screaming about memba berries seem like they never read comics before and only watched JJ Abrams films
this issue was shit and I can't believe people think it's anything higher than a 7/10 at most.
I don't think the next arc will be multiverse related but it will almost certainly be shit. there is no way they can pit him and selina against each other without it coming off as retarded, and collabing with a writer who has only produced flops is absolutely crazy.
Roy thomas's Infinity inc and Earth 2 was basically that.
