I’ve been on a huge Batman/Superman kick lately.
I know Mark Waid’s World’s Finest is the obvious recommendation, so no need to mention that one. Same goes for Jeph Loeb’s Batman/Superman.
What are some other great runs? Is the New 52 Batman/Superman worth reading? Maybe the 2019 series? What do you guys suggest?
Eu e um amigo normalmente somos os mestres das mesas do nosso grupo, mas chegou num ponto em que a gente tá meio cansado e ninguém mais parece disposto a mestrar. No fim, a gente acaba sempre revezando entre nós dois.
A gente começou a considerar contratar um GM de aluguel de vez em quando, tanto pra dar uma descansada quanto pra poder jogar como jogadores.
Queria principalmente indicações. Se vocês conhecem algum GM que recomendam, manda aí. Também queria saber como foi a experiência de quem já contratou e se isso tem ficado mais comum hoje em dia.
Which first encounter between Poison Ivy and Batman do you like more? Poison Ivy #21 or Shadow of the Bat annual #3?
Is “The Case of the Chemical Syndicate” meant to be part of New 52 continuity, or is it more of a standalone homage to the original Detective Comics #27? If it is canon, how do you reconcile it with Zero Year?
To be clear, I’m not talking about the “Batman had four Robins in five years” timeline. I always thought that was a pretty stupid compression of the Batman timeline. Also not talking about the quality of the story.
I’m specifically talking about Dick’s starting age. Do you think Mark Waid made him too young in this interpretation? Which version do you prefer and why?
With Batman and Robin wrapping up, has there been any news about DC launching a third ongoing Batman title?
I thought we were gonna get something tied to Next Level, but nothing so far.
We have stories like Batman: The Man Who Laughs for the Joker and Batman: Four of a Kind for several early villain encounters, but has DC ever done a dedicated retelling of Batman’s first meeting with Solomon Grundy?
I reread Batman: The Long Halloween recently, and Grundy’s appearance didn’t feel like their first encounter. Is TLH supposed to be their first canonical meeting, or is there another story that covers it?
We all know the most iconic arcs from Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight; Shaman, Gothic, Venom, Prey, etc. Those are usually the stories people bring up when talking about the peak of the series in the 90s.
But the title kept going well into the 2000s, and I feel like a lot of those later arcs are really overlooked.
What are your favorite Legends of the Dark Knight arcs from the 2000s era? Any hidden gems, underrated arcs, or stories you think deserve way more attention?
I honestly think Alfred should stay dead for as long as DC can possibly commit to it.
One of the biggest criticisms of comics is that death never matters because characters always come back eventually. Alfred being gone for this long (around 7 years) is one of the few examples of the story actually sticking to a major consequence.
And Batman has so many titles set earlier in the continuity, like Batman: Dark Patterns and Batman and Robin: Year One, just to name recent examples. Those books are constantly coming out. So it’s not like we never see Alfred in comics. Keeping him dead in the main continuity just gives his death actual weight.
With all the continuity changes over the years, is the whole Harvey Dent / McKillen sisters storyline still canon in current Batman continuity?
