The Commissioner Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 What do you think of the upcoming story arc, Batman/Catwoman: Gotham War? I feel like there have been plenty of "Wars" in Gotham recently (War of Jokes in Riddles, City of Bane, Joker War, etc.). Personally I would enjoy a story arc where Batman solves a crime that occurred. D2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floppies have to follow at least a four issue story arc for trades. Longer arcs are better as it means people will buy two or three trades to read it. The trade/omnibus/collected edition market drives editorial decisions for single issues now. Develop it once, sell it twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read new Batman books regularly starting in 2002 but I stopped getting new Bat books from my LCS early in the Grant Morrison run, Batman #669 was the last issue I scooped up. I don’t recall why I stopped, I missed the Resurrection of Ra’s Al Ghul, RIP, Batman Inc and the New 52 stuff. I did eventually read the Court of Owls and Death of the Family saga in TPB. I did happen to get in on Rebirth when they all came out, thank to being at my LCS at the right time. I then stopped getting new comics in 2019, looks I’ve missed some good stuff! I am a huge huge huge black mirror fan and advocate. I think it’s a dark gritty crime noir, uncommon in modern Batman. I even have the poster!

The Commissioner Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) Picked up a copy today. I really enjoyed the issue. I thought the action was exciting, and it was a good issue to come back to after the creative team taking a few months off... Nice to have Jimenez back doing the artwork Edited September 8, 2023 by The Commissioner ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still thinking about it, I have mixed emotions because I would love the know what became of the other villains in the story and of Greyson, but I can also appreciate just leaving it alone. What a great way to end the original Detective Comics run before the New 52. D2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great way to end the original Detective Comics run before the New 52. Yes! Well said. It was a surprise hit for me which also really stuck to my guts. It felt very real and human for a Batman story which is nice. Snyder tried to connect an unofficial sequel to it with Batman Who Laughs and Jim Gordon JR but it really fell flat for me. Just goes to show how truly rare it is to get a story that is so compelling. Brandon Shepherd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Commissioner Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share Posted November 6, 2023 Did anyone else here read Batman/Catwoman: Gotham War? Spoiler Personally, I thought that the plot with the meteor about to hit Gotham really came out of nowhere in the final issue. It felt rushed to me.
