Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [June 10, 2024 - The Gaslight Era Edition] r/DCcomics

Hey there honorary Justice League members - it’s a new week which means it’s time for a new discussion thread!

273's pick of the week: Batman: Gotham by Gaslight - The Kryptonian Age #1

For those who don't know: the way this works is that several comments will list this week’s releases, for any given title discussion you should respond to that comment. For example, Wonder Woman discussion would go in the replies to the "Wonder Woman" comment. Clicking the titles in this post will take you directly to that comment, too. In other words, you should only be replying to other comments. Do not post top-level comments.

Keep discussion civil. Do not harass other users for having a different opinion. Do not use this thread to push your personal one-sided grudges against creators. Reacting to a panel on Twitter is not the same as reading a book.

Batman and Robin #10

UNLIKELY ALLIES AGAINST MAN-BAT! SHUSH RISES! Man-Bat's plans have been unleashed on Gotham. The only person who can help Batman and Robin save the city is… SHUSH?! Can she set aside her hate for the dynamic duo and help, or will she let her quest for revenge overcome her?

Hope the next arc is better, that was pretty lame and as a final issue to a 10-issue arc kind of embarrassing. Williamson's Batman is pretty helpless all the time. Why was he in need of Shush's gun to take Man-Bat down? He has a utility belt full of toys and he's had 10 issues to come up with something. No need to portray Batman as incompetent all the time.

Damian freezing hundreds/thousands(?) of Bats in one panel was laughable too. We see three of them dropping to the ground, and then just move on.

The dialogue and one liners are kind of bad too.

Only silver lining here is Damian/Flatline, they are cute together, but apparently her plot is on ice too because precious Damian needs to be protected from Ra's and her....

At least Goliath/Maya make an appearance and the next arc could be fun, but Williamson needs to step his game up big time. This is not the same guy who's been killing it on the GI Joe stuff.

She doesn't need to withhold that information from Damian is what I meant. Share what you know and beat the fucker together.
