Hopefully the Joker is actually funny. That part gets missed too often.

Man, I'm still annoyed that Batwoman isn't involved in this.....What is she the true black sheep of the bat family.

I'm not. It's the reason I'll still read Batwoman.

"...He told a... joke. Oh God, Batman."

No he didn't. He kind of sort of started telling a few jokes, but he never actually told a joke.

Good to see Snyder's still doing the nonsense Snyder stuff everyone seems to love so much.

It's up the each book's regular writer whether to participate or not. Williams evidently isn't interested in this sort of thing.

If this is the hardest that you can complain about the book then im very unimpressed with your trolling

I mean, really!
are you seriously saying that the book is bad for something like that

It wouldn't've mattered either way with me, personally. Books like hers, Batman, Inc., and Batwing are pretty easy to ignore with little to no effort, really.

Then why be a part of the Batman family if you're only connected by name ?

They're connected by theme, character history, story setting, etc. I'm personally glad writers aren't forced to be part of story lines they're prefer to opt out of.

Also with Batwoman I'm sure the issue of Williams lead time plays a factor. It takes him eons to produce that art so it's going to be hard to match work flow with the other Batman creators.

Okay that is understandable, I mean I can understand why Williams didn't want be involved in the Batman themed events, but would it be that hard to acknowledge Batman pressence once and a while.
