And then they belong to the terrifying Red Mask! But Gotham City has a new savior. He strikes from the shadows, exhumes the dead, and is known only as...the Batman.

steveinthecity Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) So far I’ve only read #’s 125-127. Lest my “crying” emoji confuse anyone, it was because after seeing the cover image for #133 I realized interior art is no longer Jorge Jimenez. I liked the look of the book and disappointed to see a change in creative team so soon. Edited March 7, 2023 by steveinthecity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I liked the Tynion run as he expanded the Bat-verse further with a number of new characters. I have not had a chance to read the post-Tynion arcs yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took a temporary break to work on another project I believe. steveinthecity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad he is still around those design variants kind of hit their peek at the runs for a while, I hope he can make something of the Punchline. I'm not too sure how it all keeps going around and what it will come back too, but I know of him at least. The Commissioner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Commissioner Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 My thoughts on #133 Spoiler I'm thinking that Batman will ask to bring this Alfred back to his universe since both are dead in each other's worlds. The multiverse is a crazy thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maraxusofkeld Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 While I am not a huge DC universe guy, the book has been consistently good since the Jim Lee run in the early 2000's or at least IMO it has been. The Commissioner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tynion was a nice change of pace that added a number of new characters to the fold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittsburgh Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo KILLED it (in the good way) New 52 Batman! Story and covers were great and the Court of Owls and Endgame series within the run were fantastic IMO. The only disappointment I had was the cover to issue #40 as it was a big issue. It's not bad but it was definitely NOT what I was expecting, however, I still bought the 1:25 variant, newsstand and Combo pack for it - LOL The Commissioner, Point Five and Raze 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
