Well here's the thing about that. It's not that he's bad per say, it's just I really don't like his style or art for the people he draws. It really looks ugly to me with the silly muscules and inflated heads with small faces. A bit too goofy for my tastes. As such, I gave the vote to him because of that.

Worst Arc:

Batgirl and that stupid mirror dude.

Worst Moment:

When Damian killed a bat just because Bruce wasn't giving him enough hugs (when he officially became dead to me)

Most Unintentionally Funny Moment:

It has to be the infamous bloodbath line.

Worst Fight:

Jason fighting cops in his bath towel ( and we didn't even get to see his a$$)

Worst Villain:

Mirror dude

Worst Portrayal of Batman:

B&R (see Best portrayl of Batman)

Worst Cover:

Every single Nightwing cover.

Worst Issue:

Catwoman#0

Worst Artist:

Pascal Alixe

Worst Writer:

Gail Simone

Worst Comic:

Batgirl

(Considering all the buzz and story potential this book had. . .what a waste).

That just leapt out at me. I'm all for personal preference, sticking up for your own tastes, but whoa!

**Billy Batson** · 12-20-2012, 01:35 PM

Well he's not really good either.

Agree. Who would have thought we could get an even worse story than Dark Knight vol. 1? And so MUCH worse. Amazing.

I didn't read more than an issue of most of these books (Tec, Dark Knight, Catwoman), not enough to determine how bad they really are. I have to just go by what I read, and how disappointing it was to me personally.

And Batman & Robin takes the title of worst, easily.

If you read Dark Knight, B&R will suddenly seem a whole lot better. Like Eisner-worthy or something.

I'm sure it would :)

But i'm not up to subjecting myself to that.

Catwoman isn't just the worst Bat-family comic, it might be the worst, most irredeemable thing DC is putting out right now. Frankly, they should just cancel the book and let her only appearances, for a while, be in JLA or as a sporadic guest-star in other Bat-books.

Or you know, just get a good writer.

Chris Burnham as worst artist? Are you out of your mind?!?!?!?!?!
No seriously, SERIOUSLY!?!?!?! He's second, behind Capullo. I mean, come on dude.

As I explained, he's not a bad artist, it's just his work is so unappealing to me with the way he draws people. Originally, I was going to pick Frazer Irving, but he only drew like one issue this time around so Burnham was ulimately picked.

Also, I'm aware that the artist I picked for Worst Bat-Family Artist only drew one issue as well (Batgirl annual), it just that his work so incredibly awful that I couldn't stand it and I had to pay like 5 bucks to read it on top of everything.
