They probably should have just kept on doing that.

Doom Patrol was another failure they refused to let die. Though, to be fair, they finally figured out what they were doing wrong. A team of weirdos doesn't work in the larger DC Universe unless they're really freaking weird. Grant Morrison got that. What I've heard of Gerard Ways Doom Patrol sounds like it gets it too, so I'm looking forward to reading it. Though I'd honestly rather get more Umbrella Academy first, but I guess that ship has probably sailed. Quote:

"War of Jokes and Riddles" is turning out to be as much of a disappointment as anything else Tom King has done with the Batman series.
Great idea, just like "I Am Bane" or "I Am Suicide", and then... completely awful execution. No idea why he is telling, not showing, this incredible idea. Snoozefest. Save your $$$.

Probably greatly diminished by now. Legion hasn't had a successful run since what... a few years before Zero Hour? So like 1990, maybe?

I can't think of a single good thing to recommend from Tom King's Batman run. It sounds like other people have been enjoying it, but it is not for me. At all.

I have to admit I've been burnt out on that whole relationship for a while, classic though it may be, and I'm hoping the engagement doesn't go through and she breaks off again to do her own thing.

It plays such havoc with continuity and plays The Riddler out of character.

Volumes 3 and 4 will probably be released relatively close-together, whenever that happens to be. It's going on, what, almost ten years now? I just saw a memory on facebook where I was wondering when Hotel Oblivion was coming out and that was 8 years ago

Who knows, though. Maybe the supposed TV series might light a fire and get the next parts moving along.

I think she'll turn him down, but in a ''delayed answer'' kind of way, which will prompt Bruce to go on that quest to become a better hero for her in the next arc, given what King said about the two marrying at comicon [they would heal the broken sides of themselves], I don't see the relationship playing a backseat anytime soon.

We got all of Rogues War which was two major battles. The first The Top interfered then the second battle was interrupted by the two Reverse Flashes. Still epic and great characterization and would have served as a model for how to plot this. While it became about the two Revse Flashes, Barry Allen, and Linda's miscarriage it still resolved the war with Heatwave flipping back, burying the Top, and everyone joining The Society. What if it wanted to resolve the war itself and have an uneasy alliance of Joker and Riddler luring Batman somewhere remote and they compete in a final contest to kill Batman? I know people do not like Geoff Johns, but it looks like a good example to go by for this story. What I do not understand is what is this hypocritical action Batman takes to stop the two villains?

Anyone else read the first issue of the new Mister Miracle series? I'm not too familiar with Tom King's previous work but I thought it was pretty good overall and look forward to the next issue.
