EDIT: Ah, you went back and added the "Joker cutting off his own face" as an example. That's legit, but I look at it this way. Joker is demonstrating that he HAS no mask. Cut off his face, it's just more Joker. No Bruce Wayne or Dick Grayson or Barry Allen under the crazy, just. more. Joker.

I liked the point of that story.

Any other examples, though? 'Cause we BOTH agree the RoboBatGordon story was the worst. (But Bloom was awesome.)

Nah, I get the dislike for it. It works for me, but it definitely clashes with a lot of the different Joker interpretations.

Oh, and Zero Year was kinda... eh. I liked it for what it was, but as the "new Year One", it sucked. More overcomplicated and technological than it needed to be, ESPECIALLY for the first Batman story.

*myconius* · 11-02-2016, 07:23 PM

Snyder also threw in WAY too many unnecessary scenes of Batman betting tosses out windows, blown up, stabbed through his guts, beaten to a pulp, drown, crudely electrocuted back to life from hypothermia, etc... ALL in his very first story arc!!
as i was reading it as it was coming out in monthly issues it was VERY exhausting!!!!
it got me WELL past the point of "well i just don't give a damn anymore!"
it was depressing!!!

i definitely agree with your assessment of zero year/year one.

zero year just felt like a year one/no man's land 'mash-up' but not as good.

but one thing i was say about ALL of the issues that Capullo drew, i can look at that Gorgeous art ALL DAY!!!!

Well, going up against the Court of Owls was pretty awesome; for that storyline to carry as much "punch", Bruce NEEDED to have his ass handed to him in ten different pieces.

But yeah, it was brutal, wasn't it?

Oh man, I completely forgot how much "No Man's Land" was in it, too.

The funny thing is, I really liked the Red Hood Gang stuff and Doctor Death. But definitely not my favorite Riddler origin or favorite "Year One" story.

i think i was also comparing many similarities of the 'Owls' story to the 'Black Glove/R.I.P.' story that had came out a year or so earlier. MANY similarities!

yeah, No Man's Land is GOLD!!!

i did really LOVE the whole Red Hood Gang story! it got a bit too wordy for me in parts, but overall i enjoyed the HECK out of that part!!!
the Riddler stuff , not so much!

The great thing about Batman is that if one version isn't your cup of tea, just watch a different Batman. Me? Tim Burton movies.

Eh, I prefer Snyder to Morrison any day.

I read a Batman comic once. It had Bane in it, thankfully not the movie version. I don't know which one is worse, 1997 or 2012 movie Bane.

hahahaha!!! that's cool!

me i just preferred a competent cool Batman who was always outthinking his opponents 1000 different ways from next Tuesday!!

Batman even have a 'back-up' personality that would take over if his mind was ever compromised!!!

But hey, glad somebody out there liked it!

one of my favorite parts was when the agent of The Black Glove poison's Bruce's tea and is gloating his final farewells to him,
Batman turns around with his- "you blinked. i switched cups. force of habit."
