I feel the same way Batman is in it because of Barry's assumptions and feelings toward his fellow heroes. Same goes for Barry's reasoning for busting Superman out of the project. Batman's involvement is as companion character for Barry to guide him through the world of Flashpoint. That and to sell more comics because Batman sells comics, it is a universal fact!

I totally agree. That's why the Batman ending felt off. Barry had a whole set up with his mother being alive in Flashpoint and I don't feel like that was used. Instead they try and wring an emotional moment out of Batman.

It wasn't? Didn't Barry have a whole conversation with his mom just before he went to try to fix things?

Yeah, but it didn't really seem all that emotionally hard hitting to me. There was some good stuff, but I think if they had extended Barry's talk and cut Batman's note it would have made a lot more sense.

Not to break the topic, but I must say Ulises Farinas is totally awesome, and I would most certainly read this Batman comic over, and over, and over, and knitting, and knitting, and knitting...



Blurbs re: the image from Ulises' website,

"TRAGEDY! What happens when everything that can go wrong, does go wrong? The Justice League is eradicated, but one hero is left standing. And it only takes one hero to do the right thing, to fight to the last moment, that hero is BATMAN.

"Salvaging what he can from the destruction, Batman only has a few more hours before the Universe is destroyed. He only has one last night, to be a knight in shining armor."

Man, I saw that cover on tumblr today and lost my shit. Sooooo good.

I saw it on tumblr too. Without context, though. With context... that would be the saddest, awesome-est comic ever. D:

So, Detective #1. Good, Bad, Ugly, or 90s?

EDIT: For some reason I posted this with no opinion from me. So, I thought it was pretty meh. I don't think it's as terrible as Matt Wilson, but I do feel that all his points are valid. The most I got from it was that it's trying way to hard.

As I said in the DCnU thread, I really enjoyed it! But I think I am the only one.

Is that a good or a bad thing?

So yeah, this just happened...



Not that I am not totally, extremely, 100% out-of-this-world excited for this and behind this, but $6.99 for 80 pages is a bit steep...

But still, this is going to happen

only with the Spoiler.
