Well then, someone upstairs didn't like King's story ideas huh.

I believe Tom works best in a corner walled off from everything else. Big books like Batman and miniseries like HIC aren't his thing.
Mister Miracle, Omega Men? They're isolated and their own thing.
Yeah, but I think it would be really messed up to kick him off Batman and stick him in a corner.

Probably not.
I guess that answers my question about who's pushing the mainline story in DC. King or Snyder lol
If only DC had given him a decent number of issues to tell a coherent complete story.
It was always Snyder and Bendis with their books. We'll see if Batman gets folded in now.
If there really was some enormous change in the works, I bet they would have chickened out in any case.
Batman puts bread on the table
I blame Geoff Johns holding all his toys in his pram, making everyone else just run in place.

I actually liked this run but I'm annoyed by him getting cut so close to an end he's clearly been working to. I feel ripped off for buying the hardcovers which will most likely have a scuffed ending.

Solicit for Gwen (best Spidey girl)
GWENPOOL STRIKES BACK #1 (OF 5)
written by Leah Williams
illustrated by David Baldeon
cover by Terry Dodson
POOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!That's right — everyone's favorite comics-fan-turned-comics character is back, and this time, she's playing for keeps! Gwen Poole is desperate not to disappear into comic book limbo, so she's going to make an impact on the Marvel Universe! First up: Unmask Spider-Man! And heck, maybe see if she can get some real super-powers while she's at it!
This looks really good. I'm excited for it.
I will always buy more Gwenpool

This makes some sense with Mitch teasing. Although that might be about his next book with King

I'm shocked you didn't feel ripped-off at #50. I did and I stopped reading.

I never believed the wedding was happening and I'm stunned anyone here thought it was. You really think they would let him be happy. I like to let a writer tell his story as long as I'm not actively repulsed.
look my definitive take on it is that someone at DC read the issue where Batman tears through Arkham to beat the shit out of a defenseless Bane, thought to themselves "wait is he saying that it is kinda fucked up for Batman to be all about that violence shit, we can't have that, that's bad for the Brand" and made some calls to pull the plug early
Now that Gerards "jumping to conclusions" tweet looks really bad lol.
What a dick move though by DC. This has to upset a pretty large part of their fan base. I might not have liked King's Batman all that much, but I respected that a lot of people did. This just looks really bad, especially after that interview.

Same. Even if hes not to blame, I still do lol.
I was disappointed with #50. But I didn't get bent-out-of-shape over a comic plot. What bothered me was that DC marketed it so heavily as a done deal knowing all the while what was planned. And they still had the gall to release a "Wedding Album" hardcover after the fact. And then that fucking cunt DiDio tells people to "get over it."

It's the right move to tell people to get over the story in their funny book when people are out there sending rape and death threats to Joelle because she drew some of it. Tom King has a bodyguard since... So yeah people needed to get over it.
Man, that Hickman interview at CBR. It really makes it sound like whoever did the interview is a dumbass or just really new at their job lol. The first like 5 questions Hickman had to either give 1 line answers or outright refuse to answer.
I was disappointed by the marriage, and for what it's worth King should be allowed to finish his run. However I didn't enjoy it and dropped it. I do think it's weird to end it with twenty odd issues left, but hopefully King's next project is more in line with his other work.
He told people to get over it because the book made them a lot of money lol.
It's too bad that bodyguard turned out to be homophobic, sexist, harasser.
With the timing I wonder if he'll get one of the post Doomsday Clock relaunch books. Assuming it actually finishes this year lol

Thats kinda what im thinking here.
Im also thinking that There must be something happening with the lineup at DC around the time Batman #85 would come out. Rather than have Batman continue on while all the other books go through some sort of change, they just decided to end it instead. I dont see them just outright firing him off the book rather than let him change the story to fit their needs. Unless he just refused to do so.
I'm absolutely not excusing that. I mean, she had nothing to do with it outside of drawing it. Even King is relatively blameless here. My issues are with the way that DC went about marketing it.
Really? Is this the guy that King kept posting pics of on his Twitter while they were at cons?
Last time DC did a big reboot in the middle of a long Batman run, they still let Morrison finish his story in a separate book Batman Inc. Scott Snyder was on the main book, but Morrison basically ignored it and just finished his story with Chris Burnham for 12 issues.
Maybe Tom king is getting a separate book that's not really canon but who cares about canon
