the Snyder/Capullo stuff is WAY overrated!!!
the first 11 issues are good, but far from something i want to continue to read over and over.
and the art was the only real selling point as far as i'm concerned.
the writing got quite painful at times! and it only got worse during the 'Zero Year' 'Endgame' and 'Super Heavy' arcs!!!
quite painful!!!
pages upon pages of Turd-loads of exposition, and rambling run-on dialog.


now the way things have been going, i just can't get excited for anything new from Riddler, Batgirl OR Nightwing for that matter.

their characteristics have been swapped out for 'hipper' 'edgier' versions of themselves.

well except Nightwing though.
i'm not sure how this new writer is, but Tim Seeley was just writing one of the dullest Nightwing series i've ever read.

any writer that had anything to do with the 'Batman Eternal' and/or 'Batman & Robin Eternal' series needs to vacate Gotham immediately!!!
Batgirl vs Riddler from the animated run, Batman & Robin Adventures 21 (of 25).


That is the only time the two characters interacted. I recommend it!

Being two of my four favorite Gothamites it is worth the anticipation.

I bought the current Nightwing volume #15-20. I have yet to get to it,but have it on my waiting to read list. It looked like echoes of the Morrison run.

I have read through issue 8 of Secret War at the moment. Its an interesting read and a good look at the wider Marvel line at that time. I stick almost exclusive to Spider-Man in that company so its a bit of a different read.

i tried reading Nightwing 15-20 and found it pretty horrid.
a bastardization of a brilliant run.

i might have that Batman Adventures in my Comixology?
been trying to get all the digital trades as they come out.
if i do i'll eventually give it a looksee.

the last Marvel i ever bought was ther renumbered Amazing Spiderman, Avenging Spiderman and Savage Wolverine. think i lasted about 6 or 7 issues of each before dropping them.

It will not release until late July. You can use the website I showed you.
https://www.amazon.com/Batman-Robin-.../dp/1401281389

I bought the Superior run and then I kept the subscription going, but quickly got bored with it. I got it through issue 10 and dropped it. I think the volume went for 20 issues before restarting again. I did enjoy Superior and if you are a Dr. Octopus fan like myself I recommend it.
