Popular Post Zonker Posted June 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2020 If I recall correctly he survived a heart attack about 10 years ago. Glad he got this last decade to enjoy his semi-retirement. He was perhaps the leader of a group of writers that emerged in Stan Lee's wake, and that made comics better than they necessarily needed to be at the time (GL/GA, Batman, Shadow are the examples that come to mind, then much later the Question).

littledoom Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 20 minutes ago, Readcomix said: I took it to mean the action was so out of character for Batman that O'Neil walked out in disgust. Kind of like the wincing moment in the Justice League film when Flash asks Batman "What are your powers?" and Batman answers, "I'm rich." I can't imagine there's a Batman writer since Denny O'Neil who, given that --script draft, wouldn't have scratched that answer and replaced it with "I don't need any." I doubt I've ever read anything more badass than that... What comic is that "I don't need any" dialogue in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not -- sorry for any confusion! I'm just suggesting that O'Neil (or anyone who has since followed him as a writer for Batman) would have written that line in response to the Flash's question in the Justice League movie, where instead Batman gave the very un-Batman answer "I'm rich."

Been getting messages today about GL 76 Yeah, O’Neil emphasizing on an evolution in how evil menaces don’t just manifest in bug-eyes monsters or mad scientists, but even in the less fantastical and the more earthly matters that can just as much impact the world around us, in tune like with other comics of the time like the Avengers and Black Panther helping out each other.

Mr bla bla Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 It was Denny’s writing on Batman that originally awakened the Dark Knight for me. Godspeed Denny. Eternal respect. Larryw7, bane and jimjum12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black_Adam Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 A giant of the industry who strode through the Bronze Age of comics like a colossus. Condolences to his family and all who knew and loved him. RIP. Sandflea and jimjum12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbsturgeon Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 So now I know for sure I was doing it wrong. I’ve had some of his batman books before, but never opened them as I only bought them for the Adams covers. When I got them I couldn’t have told you who wrote them as I didn’t care then. I messed up on that one jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And o'Neil while watching the movie and upon seeing Batman pulled out a credit card o'Neil sighed loudly edit meaning he was exasperated about batman using or the thought that he'd pull out a credit card, not a reflection of himself I found this link and finally understood why he was fed up with their terrible writing. https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/what-made-legendary-batman-writer-scream-out-loud-during-batman-robin Chaz G. and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, Denis was braced for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
