Batman Family / Line: 8 Months in, Which is the Best?

[MajorHoy]

Interesting . . . . Batgirl and Red Hood and the Outlaws are each one vote away from tying with Birds of Prey for fourth place.

Nightwing is only two votes away from a tie for fourth.

Still no votes for Detective or The Dark Knight.

Comic bloggers are a good example of both the far right and far left of political parties in that comic bloggers are often the more ardent and extreme in their opinions, etc. I mean that in the sense that most of the time any given online poll does NOT jive with the general attitudes/interests of the greater readership, so I don't pay any attention to online polls such as this.

Well, voting has closed, and as was probably expected, Batman was the run-away favorite. Batwoman came in second, Batwing was third, and Batgirl and Birds of Prey (which also features Batgirl) tied for fourth.

So the top two from this family now go on to face the top two winners from each of the other DC families in a new poll on the DC Comics general forum. (Go to http://forums.comicbookresources.com...ch-is-the-best if you want to have a say and suppport either Bruce or Kate.)

The Saiko arc was too long and pretty pedestrian. I was seriously considering dropping the book because of it, but I'll probably give it another chance after the Night of the Owls issues.

By the way, Batman is currently losing to Wonder Woman, 29 - to - 21.

Animal Man is third at 16 votes, and Action Comics is fourth with 14.

Voting continues for another five days.

[MajorHoy]

Batman an Wonder Woman are currently tied for first place, each with 35 votes.

Action Comics and Animal Man are tied for third with 19 votes a piece.

Aquaman is in fifth with 11 votes; all other books still have only single-digits for the number of votes they've received so far.

Batman and Robin got the shaft

All depends on how you look at it . . . to me, the first arc in the DCnU version was way too drawn out, and the parts where Bruce "tells" Damian about his past encounters with Nobody was a poorly handled blatant information dump.

I'm very leery about Tomasi's future arcs.
