you know i'm not sure i ever read any stuff with dick as batman interacting with the justice league
i only read the batman & robin books and detective comics during that run
did dick do any justice league things
He was a member of the League, actually.
The basic idea of that generation of the League was rad, it was the younger heroes finally taking over. The League was led by Dick, Donna Troy and Mon-El. Cyborg and Starfire were members too.
DC Comics is basically the Grant Morrison Show for me at the moment
i mean i get there's other stuff and some of it's good but shit like that Question spoiler sours the whole lollipop
why in god's name can't you just do a good Question book? Vic Sage and Renee Montoya share the one identity, s/he's an androgynous metaphysical detective who solves crimes too abstract for the police, i will write it for fucking free
DC has a few bright spots but is currently pretty shitty overall, yeah
Here is the book that is about a post-apocalyptic alternate DCU that is launching less than a year after the brand new DCU that they insist isn't overtly grim or dark

let us invoke george costanza's greatest rule and do the opposite
instead of a world where everything is horrible and everyone is dead and superheroes are mopey and serious
a world where everything is great and everyone is happy and superheroes don't even really have to be superheroes, just run around having fun and being best friends

he never has an internal monologue if he is capable of actually speaking
the only time I remember him having one is the coffin scene of RIP
one big problem with a lot of comics writers today is that they don't really understand the form
like, i was going through brightest day recently for whatever fucking reason and thinking, you know, some of these ideas aren't bad but the execution is terrible
whereas Morrison is a master of the form and that's why he knows voiceover is to be avoided at all costs

Well see, I don't necessarily agree that it should be
narration can work great
the writer just has to know how to properly use it
having it constantly be an outlet to have the character go I DON'T BELIEVE THIS PERSON or I AM SO ANGRY
nah
but people like Scott Snyder use it to add depth to their stories in ways that dialogue can't really do

but the writing was
not very good
i mean, he did, he killed one dude in Batman and Son and then he learnt not to
he gets character development! in superhero comics! it's awesome!
and he killed one in Batman Inc as well, but that was because it was either that or let Bruce die
it's... not that simple

that moment was sort of a big deal in the latest batman and robin story
Here is the book that is about a post-apocalyptic alternate DCU that is launching less than a year after the brand new DCU that they insist isn't overtly grim or dark
also in this world? Batman kills people.
yes i know it's not as simple as my simplification
i don't know who the third dude he kills is i bow to Blank's superior Batmanology
regardless, character development
and there is still the dude in Batman Inc
also their new logo is bad
is fucking hilarious
why is that title all pixellated
Dick Penciler sucks though
oh yeah he has definitely had some great character development
similar to what you said
and yeah he was pretty traumatized by doing it this time, so he's definitely progressed a lot as a character
was a super shitty decision
isn't this exactly the same thing
it is by James Robinson, Nicola Scott and some inker I don't remember
this is a world where they happened but totally fucked up
completely different
oh wait oh noooooooo
he never has an internal monologue if he is capable of actually speaking
the only time I remember him having one is the coffin scene of RIP
and
DISMEMBERMENT
also yes, Robinson hasn't written anything great since Starman
the Shade mini isn't bad, but everything else has been meh-to-terrible
the eternal conundrum
instead of a world where everything is horrible and everyone is dead and superheroes are mopey and serious
a world where everything is great and everyone is happy and superheroes don't even really have to be superheroes, just run around having fun and being best friends
Because their companies didn't buy them for the comics. They bought them for the licensing.

Aquaman, Action Comics, Wonder Woman, Batman, Batman and Robin, Animal Man and Swamp Thing are all rad
