    Yes, Conway doesn't count because no way he knew what Englehart was up to. Well, Englehart didn't even seem to bother to explain what's up with that. Conway's run is much better.

    Englehart is also...
  2. Is Steve Englehart's Batman run overrated?

    I've read it for the first time when I was 6 years old and I loved it. But now, after a recent re-read, I came to the conclusion that for a "definitive" run this one has a LOT of problems!

    Funnily enough there is a discussion at Byrne's forum right now.

    He honestly wrote this as a response to someone who...

    The Big Barda = Jack Kirby's wife connection is actually more obvious when you look about the fact that Steve Gerber and Jack Kirby parodied John Byrne in "Destroyer Duck", as a character called...

    I guess this has to do with the fact that modern readers are old and the audience doesn't really change so every "small" story is seen as insignificant, meaningless. But those small stories are more...

    Does that mean that the rights are now settled and the Blu-Ray release of the series is not far away?

    That's because Frank Miller didn't know next to nothing about Batman except the stuff he'd made up in his own head. As you can see in "Year One" Gordon is just about 10 years older than Bruce while...

    The only thing that has ruined Superman were those assholes who frequently try to "fix" Superman and tell everyone how stupid he is. He's pretty much the only character were you hear that stuff all...

    I'm pretty much against any kind of rape in superhero comics. I hate rape scenes in general. I also hate graphic torture. I read comics for fun and this kind of stuff is just the opposite.

    Of...

    The Golden Age Superman is a very rough sketch of a character. He is more of a menace to society than a benefit. Although we are talking the early GA Superman. Later he wasn't that far away from the...

    Jimmy Olsen dressing up as a girl is supposed to be funny. Modern day comic book fans read way too much into this kind of shit.

    Ah, the "Pocket Universe". This has always annoyed me. Essentially, it IS a parallel universe. Earth-P(ocket). So much for the CRISIS.

    Intelligence is inherited. Hence it is a part of selection. Education is, in general, rather overrated. Twin studies have shown that intelligence is not that influenced by education and culture.

    Nothing better than a well-planned reboot to make things less confusing, I guess :biggrin:

    Point taken. I'm more of a negative guy by nature that's why I'd probably give most issues of this run a C or a D.

    In general I think good art can defintely elevate a good story, but a bad story...

    Byrne's Superman work is really creepy and silly at times.

    I don't think so. Remember that Byrne's Superman is basically an ordinary guy. And if you look like him the girls will come without any effort from his side. :wink:

    Nice to see that you've started again, shaxper.

    Classic Joker was pretty much of a coward as soon as his plan failed and Batman was about to get it.

    Modern Joker is too kewl for fear.
