Yeah I dropped Batman & Robin and Batman: TDK after the first two issues. TDK wasn't bad, it just felt unnecessary and crazy.
Detective Comics and Snyder's Batman are the best of the bunch, I need to catch up on Batgirl.

@TheGODDAMNSUPERGUY Thats not too many batman books. All of the others are not even books in which Bats is the main character, he just camoes in them from time to time. Its not like they are making him like wolverine and Spider-man where he is in every single team. Like how can Spider-man(another one of my favorite characters) be in ff, avengers, avenging spider-man and other teams. Bats is only in Justice League and Justice League International (in which you can say is an extension of the main Justice League that Batman sort of uses to check out the rest of the world and I dont think he will be in all the issues of that book). The only book that stars Bats as the lead that needs to be dropped even though Im loving the art is David Finches book. You need Detective, Batman,(does are must have since they been around since the characters beginning) and Batman and Robin(so you can see the dynamic duo interaction)

what about snyder's batman?

far too many bat-books,i suppose batman is dc cash cow & they'll milk it dry.

dadarkknight - 12/12/2011, 11:01 AM
@TheGODDAMNSUPERGUY Right now they are just trying to make superman the only known superpower around (Stormwatch characters are secretive and work behind the scenes) thats why you dont have Billy Batson and Jonn Jones(Martian manhunter) around.

They didn't have Snyder's Batman for some reason. Strange.

Gotta say Batman by Scott Snyder is the best Batman comic. Maybe the best out of the new 52!!!

catwoman is great, [frick] you if you dont want one lmao.

@GDSuperguy Yeah, I only read the first issue but I almost killed myself. It was that bad.
Captain Marvel or Shazam should've been there instead of freaking Catwoman.

BATMAN, DETECTIVE COMICS, BATWOMAN and CATWOMAN are my favorites.

Gusto

Wildaniel - 12/12/2011, 12:29 PM
You know I would say that Catwoman is one of my favorites from the new 52. Its not bad at all.

Batwing has been the surprise comic for me, man is it good.
Fastestmanalive
Fastestmanalive - 12/12/2011, 12:43 PM
Detective is my favorite but I've already said that numerous times, lol.

Nightwing is also good, the art for is fantastic, Batgirl is also enjoyable.

Batman and Robin while I hate Damian the story is interesting, how Bruce will deal with his psychopath of a son, while I hate the character the storytelling has been great.

As for Catwoman , I enjoy it, granted she's not my favotite charcter so I dont take the comic that seriously, but it has good action and is great fun.


Dark knight is a waste of time although the art is great and of course Batman is awesome but its still lower then Detective for me cuz I cant stand the art.

Nice to see Redhood is still wearing his Deadpool cosplay costume. And Batwing...Why isnt that canceled yet. A very uneccassary character with a sucky outfit.It'd make better sense for him to be a urban reformed youth or something stateside

the art in all of these look spectacular.

@marvel72: If it aint broke dont fix it:p
Batman always seems to be the big moneymaker at DC and comics in general. Supes comes pretty close but hasn't done well in the live-action films

I'm just worried that DC will get fans sick and tired of reading Batman comics. Now I'm not quite there yet, but I dont want to end up ditchin' Batman. It's one of the few DC comics I still read

I don't like Red Hood with a Bat symbol on his chest...Batman would never allow someone with guns to represent the Bat-Family.
