The original "New 52" - 8 months in, which is the best?

**Reginleif** · 04-26-2012, 01:02 PM

I'll vote Supergirl, but Im withholding my vote just in case WW needs it. Supergirl may be the best, but we cannot have batman win this.

**The Animal Man** · 04-26-2012, 01:17 PM

Wait Wait...Why is swamp thing getting no love and what happened to The Animal Man Supporters? guess i shouldn't be surprised by batwoman's lack of votes

Thanks, I had some time to waste and I liked how it turned out.

Yeah, I guess

Let me clarify this: I don’t think Snyder’s Batman is a bad book... I do think that it’s an incredibly schizo book. For every single thing that is impressive, ingenious and interesting, there’s something equally stupid or corny that makes it an incredibly uneven book.
In the end, the only way I can fully enjoy this book it’s by not taking it seriously. I treat it like Chuck Austen’s X-Men (blasphemy). Yes, Austen’s X-Men sucked an impressive amount of ass, but only if you take them seriously. If you don’t, you realize that those are some of the most enjoyably idiotic and stupid stories ever written, a laugh-riot.

My main grip with Snyder’s Batman so far is the villains, these Damn Owls. I’m sure that once Snyder will start write more “conventional” villains (I’m curious about the one in the next big arc) he will do great things, but these freaking Owls man, really, I can’t take seriously a story with these guys as the main villains.
A supershadow illuminati group of rich idiots that act like the public of a Wrestling match and command an army of undead zombie ninjas dressed up as owls that they enlisted from dead circus acrobats. WHAT? How can these clowns be a credible threat? The talons too for god’s sake… rather than deadly assassins they all act and talk like schoolyard bullies.
What distubs me the most is that everybody on the entire internet placed these Damn Owls into lists about “Best new villains” and “Best new characters”. No they’re not! They’re silly and goofy and as threatening as the freaking Clock King!

That’s my rant for today, sorry, I never had the actual possibility of doing it for myself. Remember this is all my opinion and if you enjoy Court of Owls, great, more power to you.

Damn Owls.

Could be either Batman, Animal Man or Swamp Thing for me, they vary month to month. Went with Batman as i enjoyed it the most from the #8s.

Wonder Woman would be 4th.

**EmperorKell-El** · 04-26-2012, 02:27 PM

My top three lists consists of:
The Flash- beautiful art and intriguing story
Superman- with the latest creative team change, it really picked up
Action Comics- It's Grant Morrison, excellent story quality is to be expected

**abhilegend** · 04-26-2012, 02:37 PM

1. Action Comics
2. Batman
3. Wonder Woman.

EDIT: And why isn't The Flash an option on this poll?

As mentioned, he was an option on this poll (http://forums.comicbookresources.com...ch-is-the-best), but he couldn't keep up with Wonder Woman and Aquaman. If he was closer I might have included him on the poll, since some families had two out of their four books make it over to here. (Batwing was also in that same boat, but Batwoman seemed to have a sufficient lead over him in second place, 20 votes to 14.)

Right now, Animal Man is in second place, with 9 votes, to Batman's 11 votes.

Wonder Woman is third with 8 votes, but the voting still has a few days to go.

Forget holding my vote. Supergirl is the best book in my opinion!

The GIF was funny though.

**MajorHoy** · 04-28-2012, 07:33 PM

Currently, Batman is in first place still, with 13 votes now.

Animal Man is still in second place with 9 votes, but Wonder Woman is also tied with 9 votes now.

Fourth place is Action Comics with 7 votes.

(Yet Batman was losing to Animal Man in the Thunderdome battles.

)

**SJNeal** · 04-28-2012, 07:37 PM

Still gotta give it to Animal Man, though Swamp Thing is consistently neck-n-neck with it...

Which means Animal Man has second place all to itself at the moment with 10, and Wonder Woman is back in third place with 9 votes.

**Red_10** · 04-28-2012, 08:04 PM

Animal Man, Swamp Thing, Batman and Wonder Woman are my four top books of the relaunch. The exact order shifts month to month, but those four are quite a bit a head of all the other titles in terms of quality IMO.
