Batman by Scott Snyder / What is your verdict?

**sabongero** · 02-10-2012, 09:58 PM

His work on Detective Comics the previous year added to the Batman mythos, when Dick Grayson assumed the mantle of the Caped Crusader. He is adding more to the Batman mythos and so far so good. What do you think so far on the Batman relaunch with Scott Snyder helming the writing duties?

Hey I was the first vote =)
nice

Batman by Scott Snyder is definitely the most Fresh take that Batman has received in years
even though Morrison's batman was great and it took the caped crusader through new places and completely unexplored by him, he always stayed inside the same notion that Batman was the ultimate human, the pinnacle of superheroes, it was great journey but Batman was Always Batman, you knew that he will come back and kick ass and still enjoy it, It was marvelously done

Snyder's run is the first time that i have seen this idea of Batman in peril made so brilliantly, he is no longer the smartest guy in the room, he is in a place were you can honestly doubt that he might survive alone, but its still faithful to

Its writing is dark and alluring, it crawls under the skin, all his characters have a unique take and voice and the villains are entertaining and fearsome, there is strong symbolism on it too but not a big as Morrison still its simple enough to stimulate the reader

In Short, its one of(if not THE) the Best comic in the market so far and one of the best batman runs ever made

You know how, when people ask "Where can I start reading Batman?" and comic fans recommend Year One or Long Halloween or Hush?

Well now there's an even better option.

Excellent.

Absolutely amazing

The first four issues were solid and well written, but not amazing. Well above average, but not more than a solid 4 star-run. But the 5th issue is one of the best single issues I've ever read with the character, so I'm giving it 5 stars.

I disagree in that Morrison didnt show him in peril. He basically killed the guy and ruined his family name. It took batman like 4-5 years to beat Hurt.
And of course his Batman went through every kind of story, from a noir mystery (black glove story) to the over the top time travel story of RoBW. Now that's fresh.

Not taking a stab at Snyder, just saying...

And yet Hush will still remain iconic somehow.

I'd give it four stars. It's good, very good even, but it's not quite hit that sweet spot for me yet. I can't really give a real verdict until after the whole arc has been published because many of the complaints I have about the run may be rendered null and void by the time it's all over. One thing that can't be disputed IMO is that this story is more than a little derivative.

In comparison by it's fifth issue his Detective run had already cemented itself as a five star work for me.

This is about how I see it thus far. I like it a lot, but I don't think it's flawless and I definitely don't think it's the best run in years, at least so far. Whether it starts to drop in my eyes or elevates itself to five stars remains to be seen.

**zur en arrh** · 02-11-2012, 10:15 AM

Four stars. I'm excited to read it every month and I find it to be the only good Batman title out at the moment.

**FoxMulder2012** · 02-11-2012, 08:44 AM

If I were to drop all of my comics, I'd still be getting Batman. I think that says something.

yeah but his death wasnt very clear on RIP and then Final Crisis neer really killed him
and the bad press on his family really went nowhere

my point is Morrison's run was more about the journey than the destination

Snyder's run, i just have no idea where is going with this, tand thats what makes it so great

Hush is awesome cause he is the antibatman
he wanted his parents death and his life was ruined cause her mom was alive and he became a doctor cause of her

I meant the book by Loeb. Its one of the books that new fans always read when getting into batman.
- Dude what should i read.
- Dude you should totally read TKJ, YO and Hush.

I guess with its plot that facilitates meeting most of Batman's rogues gallery and Superman, it's a good book to get into bat comics.

For me Hush became cool with Heart of Hush.

oh i see

if anything, Hush was only important cause really it does a good job presenting every single important character in the Batman Universe at the time, one way or another

the mystery fails from the moment that we get the evil close up of dr elliot

but Hush wasnt a bad character

and it changed the relationship between Batman and Catwoman for a long time and made Riddler and great intellectual challenge
it also healed 2-face for 2 minutes until Face the Face ruin that

For me Hush became cool with Heart of Hush.

yeah that was a brilliant book by Dini
