      These characters were a big part of my life. My uncle and grandfather loved them and passed that to me. I loved them. My friends loved them. We talked about them, played with their toys, played their games, watched their shows and their movies, got older and even passed them on to our own kids. Seeing them destroyed is more than just some corporate thing.

            Most stories in history have a beginning and end. These comics by design do not and are meant to be cash farms that raise the stakes and repeat what works.

            Your an idiot to get invested as if it will maintain a level of quality or continuity beyond this. Best bet is find a run you like, complete it, and stick with lighter one offs than the zombie of the main universe.

    In Batman Fugitive back in the early 00s the batfamily and especially Dick were pissed when he dumped his Bruce Wayne name and he pushed them all away
    In the mid 00s War Games did shit like this
    He was dead in the late 00s so it didn't happen then
    Death of the Family had him pushing the batfamily away AND them being uber pissed at Batman having told Joker his idenity years ago and not telling them this

                The goal is to stop crime, and Selina wants the criminals to only rob the rich and leave the poor and middle class alone. This is fricking dumb.By making them more competent, all she's doing is seeding the next crop of rogues who will then enlist thugs like THESE guys used to be. She's under the assumption that these guys are on some "I just need enough money to be comfortable, then I'll stop". They will never stop, and eventually they'll just go bigger and bigger, until there's a city-wide war in the underworld between established crime bosses and these new kids looking to shut them down and take over. You can see this coming a mile away. And when it does, all Selina can say is "...you knew this would happen.". Bruce needs to cut her out of his life and treat her like a straight-up enemy at that point. End that shit, take her down, and delete her number. No more "friend of the Bat-Family" status. Anybody that wants to work with her afterwards will also be regarded as a criminal and treated accordingly. Frick this divisive shit and that tiring Bat and Cat, will they, won't they crap.

        War Games is still worse. It's pretty much "Bruce is a violent psychpath whose crusade is about getting his jollies to the point he actively avoids taking measures that would bring crime to heel." You're overthinking this, OP, these kinds of stories are nothing new.

You keep digging yourself in a hole because you insist to act as fanatic who has to defend his muh at all cost no matter how illogical and stupid it's sound. You keep crying about muh meanie batfamily while also defending Batman acting unhinged towards them.

                Unlike you, I do genuinely like Batman and dislike when writers write him as maniac. I'm also capable of liking other characters like Jason whose presence actually enriched Batman and made him more interesting. I think they both are hypocrite and flawed individuals who also did a lot of right (they both saved Gotham, the world and each others many times).

                No. Crime must be tied to a super villain to matter nowaday, while gangs, prostitution, rape, domestic abuse don't exist outside of maybe black label book. Gotham is both edgy and sanitized, just like the last Batman movie.

So they bend the entire universe to say that Catwoman has lowered crime by training criminals to steal from people, even though logic would imply otherwise. It is like when Future State implied that “Tim Fox truly saved Gotham, something Bruce could never do” even though he didn’t nothing different than what Bruce does.

    Or Jon Kent wants to fight the evil Lex Corps funded Police because they killed an alien (ALM) and Clark tells Jon he has to go through the proper channels or something.

          I'm fine with temporary changes, but fundamentally changing a character forever just so you can be known as the guy who "mixed things up" to "keep things fresh" is a moronic cycle that keeps happening.

              The most obvious problem for this storyline is that Selina's scheme is breathtakingly stupid. The story would just be Batman rolling Catwoman's gang of losers in half an issue if the bulk of the Batfamily wasn't swayed by Selina, so they all come across as really really stupid.

      No. Because DC Comics isn’t smart enough for that.

        The consequences of King's abortion of a run was that DC now bans any writer from making any major change to ANY of the major Batman characters or villains that aren't explicitly approved by editorial from up high and a Spider-Man level editorial micro-management of any storylines. And the trade-off to this level of hell, is that editorial has lifted the embargo on OC new characters so writers on the Batman books can create new Batman family characters/villains who they can do whatever he frick they want with since they are limited in what they can do with the main cast.

                Bruce slashing Jason's throat and only saving Joker is the most published/read version. To the point the recent BTAS comics did the same thing albeit Jason was Robin there.

                At the end of Under The Red Hood, Batman goes on a tirade about how his sense of moral superiority was more important than the carnage/deaths (including Jason's) that the Joker commits by being alive and slice's Jason's throat with a batarang as Joker escapes and blows up the building he's in.

                Batman can't find Jason in the rubble, but it's clearly shown that Jason survived getting his throat cut by Batman when the bombs went off.

                Also

                Loeb NEVER intended for Jason to be alive or a bitter as hell type over Bruce not avenging him in Hush. He was ALWAYS supposed to be Clayface fricking with Bruce's head for Hush. But NO ONE cared about ANYTHING in Hush save for the "Jason Todd" issue, so DiDio (to salvage shit) ordered Winnick to bring Jason back and Winnick came up with the idea of Jason as the new Red Hood.

                DC had no idea for a while as to how to explain Jason's return. Geoff Johns had a super convoluted idea where Jason would be the Pre-Crisis Earth 2 Jason Todd, who would be a time traveling super villain vigilante/crime boss who hailed from the 90s and would have fought Infinity Inc in that decade had COIE never happened and Infinity Inc never broke up. At the start of Crisis, Jason would have traveled back in time to fight Infinity Inc early in their careers but end up via the Crisis stuck on Earth 1 and somehow survive as a time anomaly who kept his memories when everything merged post-Crisis and after Zero Hour. And that UTRD would be explicitly tied to the lead up to Infinite Crisis with Alex Luthor hooking up with Jason and having him go after Bruce to keep him busy so he wouldn't see the moves Alex was making to cause IC to happen.

                Winnick thought that was too convoluted and counterpitched Jason being retcon punched back to life and retconning Jason's appearance in Hush being really being him after finding a page in the issue where Jason could have switched places with Clayface.

                The retcon punch reverberated throughout the entire DCU timeline. First one hit Jason years ago and revived him. The second one brought him back again after his throat was slashed.

                The bomb goes off, Jason escapes off-panel with a bleeding throat, and seconds after the bomb goes off and Joker/Jason escape, , Alexander Luthor divides the fricking Earth to recreate the motherfricking multiverse at the end of Infinite Crisis #4.

                They cut the two page spread of Batman dividing into various alternate Earth versions of himself that repopulate the multiverse Alex is creating from the TPB of Under the Red Hood V2/the Complete UTRH. but Jason was unaffected as he scurried away..

                Jason never died a second time. You are just making shit up to fit your head canon that Jason should have stayed dead/that the only reason Jason is alive is due to fans likng Red Hood Jason.

                There's no way and yet. Maybe DC thought that the building delivering the killing blow meant Batman was in the clear here but that's incredibly moronic and short-sighted af. No wonder they changed it in the movie.

                What

                Poster is talking about the throat slash in UTH, where he survived. He clearly survives it. He did die in Death In the Family but got retconned punched alive after dying and is left brain damaged from oxygen deprivation while he struggled to escape being buried alive.

                said plus the fact that it's well documented that DC had explicit plans for Jason after Under the Hood/Infinite Crisis. Dick Grayson, not Superboy, was supposed to be killed by Superboy Prime in IC #6 and that after surviving getting his throat slashed by a Batarang, Jason was going to further his crusade against Bruce by assuming Dick's identity as far as becoming the new Nightwing to further torment him and even taking over the Outsiders (Batman's old team).

                Bruce Jones (who wrote Nightwing post-IC) and Judd Winnick have both stated point blank this was the plan until Geoff begged to save Dick Grayson from dying. Both the first post-IC Outsiders arc and the bulk of Jones' short Nightwing runs were written explicitly with Jason as the main lead and had to be rewritten to basically have the main character be Dick. While Dick's solo book managed to make it work, Jones opted out quickly because of the nightmare of the last minute rewrites while the Outsiders arc that had to be rewritten to make it Dick running the team not Jason, had Dick act 100% out of character and made a lot of people pissed off.

    YOU KNOW WHAT DC SHOULD DO

    an event we'll call FAMILY FUED

    and as part of that fued every super-family gets together and jockeys for position and influence, even the ones who think it's stupid

    tear apart teams with members from multiple families like it's FAIR FRICKIN' VERONA

    have them all compete across every title for a full 12 months and WHEN the event concludes, the bottom families get ELIMINATED

    no more books for them!

    and also some of them "die" and most of them don't get featured

    but the best part? the endings are determined by how total sales for the title are going on FAMILY TITLES at the 6-month stage from the launch issue, so if Green Lantern is selling the worst, it gets rested for FIVE GODDAMNED YEARS and DC concentrates on selling something else

    cameos in other titles don't count but full-on family-vs-family conflict issues - the "fight" issues - do count for both families

    and DC doesn't even replace the titles that come to an end: it just shrinks its line

    so at the end of FAMILY FUED everything's actually different and the incentive for writers is that if they don't write something that's compelling enough to actually attract readers, they don't get to use that ENTIRE FAMILY again for five years

    and yeah some of you may say "they'd never rest Batman or Superman" but that's the beauty of it: this tells DC in certain terms that there are characters they can rest, because writers, artists, editors and the readers all know the stakes

    will it hurt smaller titles? will it unfairly favor bigger names? sure

    but it's DC, the company with NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE

If everyone is being honest, considering the trajectory of the industry and considering that both of the big two are now wholly owned by a mega-conglomerate, I'd legitimately be surprised if either one is actually publishing comics in 2030. Everything was mismanaged for a long time. Honestly I think the first nail in the coffin was agreeing to the CCA all those years ago, it crippled everything.

            This is one reason manga is slaughtering American comics. They can just have a goofy/silly/sexy premise and just run with it, American comics always feel like they have to Say Something About Society one way or the other. You can just pick up a manga because the premise sounds fun and not really worry about being screeched at.

        >Why can't comic book writers just make comics that have new gay characters instead of making established characters gay?
        Sometimes people live a lot of their life being straight and then realize they are gay.
        It actually does happen in real life.

        Just drop the pretense that you're making a superhero book and just make a gay romance comic. Hell, make a gay romance book book with superheroes in it. Just be honest about it.

        What's wrong with telling a story where the amount of weight that sexuality or gender has in the story is just as relevant as any adjectives?
        A story about a tall hero, and a story about a gay hero don't threaten anything. Shouldn't we see such things that don't have much bearing on the overall character?

      Fighting criminals is a hard sell when all the writers want to basically excuse crime. Think back to that Batman "they have insurance" riot scene.

Other sectors of the market like manga are booming, it's just capeshit that's dying, but no one cares because no one reads it anyway except a shrinking group of aging autists.

    So the December solicitation pretty much confirms Batman kills Joker (well, zurr en arrh kills joker), because he "does the unthinkable" and "spectre of joker" oversees the fight between zurr en arrh and batman. What do we think of the clown finally getting his due? And how quickly will it be undone?

      I give it maybe a few issues later, hopefully we'll see Batman go nuts after killing someone. But dionesium is probably still around and Lazarus Pits have always been a staple, and who knows what DC is going to come up with to revive the Joker this time. Better be a good fight though, I know Endgame was divisive, but damn was the fight between the Joker and Batman really visceral and brutal.

        In case you haven't noticed, there are two jokers going around right now.

Jason wants to throw everything away to be with Babs, but writes it in a letter that he tapes to her door with the flimsiest bit of scotch.

      Dick, Cass, Steph, and Duke tried to stop Bruce from beating the shit out of Jason because Jason tried to stop Bruce from raiding Selina's base where she was training criminals. Bruce kicked all their asses until he didn't, so Damian saved him and retreated. The BatBrats all realized afterwords that Selina's crew kidnapped and beat the shit out of someone in the back room right afterwords.

    The thing that really annoys me is that they're doing the Civil War thing of making the side with actual reasonable issues be "wrong" by making them over the top in their actions. Selina is obviously wrong, but because Bruce is going schizo with Zur, he's automatically in the wrong.
