There's also the fact that the people of Gotham had learned to identify with the Batman as a symbol of hope, courage, and strength. Consistency in that symbol is important, and Blake understands...
Picked up two of them myself. One so I can have him in full garb with his normal angry face, the second so I can have him without the jackets, with his laughing face. This laughing version is...
I'm not sure, but I seem to remember it happened off-panel - don't we only learn about it when Tim comes across Harold? I also seem to remember Jean-Paul coming across Harold's workshop, but no...
Good luck finding it for a decent price.
If you want to do the New 52 Batman, I think the strongest is "Batman Vol 1: Court of Owls," and its sequel, "Batman Vol 2: City of Owls."
Second to that is the new Batman and Robin, collected in...
No you didn't, and no they aren't.
The pic in the link is blurry, there's no legible text, and the section being discussed isn't even visible because it's being blocked by someone standing in...
Prove it. Show us some pics.
How is this relevant to anything?
Surprise, surprise - a state trooper isn't a qualified medical technician capable of diagnosing something like internal...
TPBs and graphic novels are a much more economical way to read comic books than single issues - just think of them as books from a bookstore.
Also, you'd be surprised at how many libraries carry...
Just because books have been written about something, doesn't mean it's not ludicrous.
I think the "Sandy Hook" example, among others, can very easily be attributed to Apophenia, as described in...
lol, when an invitation to something ends with a threat...well, that's always a good sign of a healthy community.
It's too late for him to be a multi-millionaire now. Finger is long dead.
lolwut?
This is the most ridiculous thing I've seen written in a good while.
Yeah, but that 3-parter was almost sort of parodying the ridiculous complexity of conspiracy theories.
His run on "Batman," with Kelley Jones, on the other hand, referenced conspiracy theories...
I didn't know Rory was in the movie, I'll have to go back and watch those scenes again. That specific nugget doesn't seem to be very common knowledge.
But yes, it is common knowledge among fans...
This is all a waste of your time.
Also, the special forces guy wasn't black...
That's like saying "Explain Batman's popularity."
Because that's what it is - it's the fact that he's the most popular comic book character.
But it's not random or a fortunate coincidence...
Many reprints are collected in trade, you can order those online. The paperback "Batman Chronicles" are quite affordable, and a great resource for anyone interested in the history of Batman and his...
Yeah, I don't think Scarecrow is a distinct personality from Crane. It's just how he behaves differently - with more confidence - when he's wearing the outfit, is armed with the gas, and knows he...
Trades are cheaper.
I think "Road To" is important to set up the concept of the federal government abandoning Gotham.
Otherwise, you're just thrown into a ridiculous situation. Explaining it doesn't make it much...
It feels like it'd get old pretty fast.
Yes, but this is par for the course in comics and Batman. For instance, "Batman" is very heavily based on "The Shadow," in terms of both characterization and appearance. Or "The Joker," based on...
"Aftershock" was just a bunch of one-and-done stories, set in the post-quake "setting" between "Cataclysm" and "No Man's Land." So Gotham hadn't been abandoned yet, it was just a disaster area. ...
I love Brian Stelfreeze's cover work. He had lovely painted covers (most notably for a good chunk of the "Shadow of the Bat" book), and it was always such a disappointment to open it up to read and...
