I agree completely. I like YO quite well as a story, but I can't picture it as the definitive Batman Origin story when I primarily think of it as Jim Gordon's origin story. It does a marvelous job...

They didn't give it a month before putting Carrie Kelley and Harper Row out there as potential new side-kicks, I have little faith that DC will give Damian a decent mourning period.



But DC's...

Jason's injuries probably became less serious because of Damian. It could seem like a little much to kill Damian and seriously injure Jason in the same month in unrelated stories.

The first...

I guess you see things differently when there are adopted children in your extended family. Biological children aren't the only 'real' children.

Odd, it was my understanding that police are allowed to use deadly force when the other person is a threat to the officer's life or the lives of bystandards. Police do carry guns and in reality...

Yes, Bruce took Damian in because Damian is his genetic child. He also took in Dick, Jason and Tim who are NOT his genetic children. But the topic of discussion wasn't why did Bruce take Damian in....

Pay attention to the context. I'm saying that I don't see that much difference between the depth of Bruce's feelings for a biological child verses an adopted child. No difference between them in...

I don't equate murder with not making an effort to save the guy pointing a gun at you from the consequences his own stupidity.

Batman didn't kill that guy and he was under no moral obligation to...

I guess I just don't see that much difference between Damian and the other Robins. It's not as if Bruce raised Damian since infancy, he's only know him for a year or so. Given the time Bruce spent...

It all depends on how much weight the reader gives a psychic affair. Given that Jean and Emma are both telepaths and their thoughts have very concrete impacts on the world around them, I don't think...

Look at what happened when Morrison left the X-Men. After all his work to beat readers over the head with the notion that Magneto was obsolete once he was gone Marvel didn't waste any time...

I think the problem is less that the stories are bad and more that the timing is bad.

"Batman Inc." IMO felt like it was paying barest lip-service to the reboot. It's Morrison finishing up the...

Then kissed yet another teammate and finished out the issue with a demented Joker-grin. It's sort of unfortunate that this story over-laps with Damian's death. Makes it hard to know what is really...

How is that different from the situation with Dick? In the old DC he was introduced as a kid who followed Batman around (8-12 in most of his origin stories), he became a teenager who wanted more...

Joker killed Jason and Bruce didn't resort to murder. Killing for vengeance wasn't a path Bruce wanted to start down then, I don't see any reason he'd do it now. Talia is still much saner and more...

With the NuDC condensed time-line and the flashback to Toddler-Damian wearing the cowl DC already needs some sort of speed aging to keep the time-line intact. So if they want to age him they can...

To me Damian's death seemed a bit poorly timed with regards to the rest of the Bat-Titles. Since the relaunch Inc. has felt like it's a bit out of step with the rest of the universe and I think DC...

I wasn't reading comics at the time, but I read the novelization "The Death and Life of Superman". 'Death' might just be a punch-fest but to a non-comic reader the idea of having Superman die, even...

Harvest being so closely linked to SB's origin is what kills it for me. "The Culling" was a terrible cross-over and Harvest was a lot of the reason for that. He's completely over-powered with no...

That was the theory put forth by external observers who had no clue what SB was actually thinking. SB's monologue showed the real reason he had no empathy for the people in the simulation: "As...

My primary criteria for a good comic is good character interaction and a sense of humor.

Fables - Fairy tale characters living in modern day NYC. I like fairy tales, I really enjoy the twists...

But look at which kids are having this reaction. Jason, Roy and Kori are in the middle of rejecting traditional superheroics, the very thing Superman represents. Jason in particular had been in the...

The manga is much more plot-driven, Tsukune is still everyone's love interest but I never felt that it was fan-service over content the way the anime was. From what I remember about the anime it was...

They're all still riding on Peter's coat-tails. Have any of those other Spidermen become a cultural icon? Are any of them even known outside of comicbook fans?

But there's one more detail with Aunt May being so old and frail: Some day she is going to die irregardless of what Peter does or doesn't do. At some point Peter isn't going to be able to save her...
