Batman New 52

[buddymagoo]

Hold on a sec let me just go and ask Scott.

I believe it might be Riddler

 

Yes, Snyder mentioned this in a recent tweet actually - sounds like Riddler is the next big villian he wants to use in 2013.

 

Also as to Capullo's art being poor - I can see how someone would say that. I don't think it's true necessarily, but on a simple glance, his style is not nearly as detailed as some other top tier artists (think Lee or Finch). He leans on his colorist to bring out a fair amount of the nuance in his art instead of actually drawing every detail. I think the result from him tends to look "chunkier" than an artist who line draws everything. I don't think it's less skillful, but it maybe isn't as immediately impressive

Yeah I remember Snyder mentioning in a podcast that Riddler would be the next big story he wanted to do. Dont think it will be right after DOTF though

I remember reading somewhere that the Riddler arc starts with issue #21.

Splash Page Art has added select pages for sale from Jock from his backup stories in 'Death of the Family'.

I picked up a couple of these also at c2e2, I love the cover.

Anyone else read Batman 20 and see the easter egg and nod within the pages?

 

Pretty cool.

Bruce used the Batman Beyond suit to escape. He found it in a trash compactor of discarded prototypes that he was trapped in with Lucious Fox. When he asked why Fox was destroying this prototype since it was so effective. Fox replied that the technology was too advanced to be economical and twenty years ahead of its time. I thought it was a brilliant nod of what is possible to come in the series or legacy of Batman

+1 Nice one. Thank you!

[Rmfn33]

Thought it was an awesome little egg!

[Garf]

Kinda off topic but had to put the new Arkham game trailer somewhere in the Modern forum

The recent sells for raw #1s has gone up a bit since the last time i checked, two in the last few days have gone for 60+ dollars. Yet the #2 can be found for cover price, i wonder why?

The Fatman on Batman (Kevin Smith's Podcast)

 

This week he has Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo if anyone is interested. Pretty cool interview

 

http://smodcast.com/episodes/fatman-48/

[Hodor]

One quote thats interesting is:

 

Scott Snyder: "i do a lot of work between the floppys and the trade"

 

Kevin Smith: "you redialogue?"

 

Scott Snyder: "Oh yea, oh yea"

 

 

This was specifically in context with Death of the Family. Snyder said he re-dialogued and made things more clear in the trade version of Death of the Family.

 

 

Also Snyder said:

Scott Snyder: We totally intend to bring him (the Joker) back worse, to have him say 'I gave you the chance', that whole story line was about love, his next one will be about hatred. So yeah, 100% will he be more vicious.

So does anything think Zero Year will end up being as epic as "Year One" by Miller? I'd love to see a registry set for this. I've enjoyed every issue so far.

[sd2416]

doubtful.

 

[CJ]

Nope. Year one is amazing

Zero year, not so much!

Although it's good, it's not groundbreaking like Miller & Mazzuchelli's work. You have to remember that 'Year One' turned a stale workhorse of a book into a superstar again, the new 52 relaunch is only a baby in terms of back history.

Awesome interview with Capullo, Snyder and Smith. Really cool to hear how they work together. I only read Batman 1 to about 8 or 9 and like it a lot. I will catch up eventually. Waiting on the Zero Year trades.
