Quote:If not, I think the Bat-editors need to be fired after a solid decade of not reigning in crap, because that goes against the very core of the Thompkins character to make a point that has been...

In light of this controversy, I thought it was only right to share with you the reactions of some folks to this turn of events: And one such Batman fan couldn't help but vocalize his anger over DC's...

I was gonna post something about this, but Catwoman beat me to it (and did a much better job than I would've.) I agree with the gist of everyone else's comments too. *sighs* It's been a long time...

I'd still consider it Miller-ization, because comics as a whole tried to copy Miller post-DKR. Marvel especially with Spider-Man. (Miller even admitted to this in 1996.) Add to this DC's reliance on...

I gotta say, I think Sentinel has it right on the money. It's all gone a bit Spidey in Bat comics at the moment, something that once upon a time would have been widely derided by the folks at DC but...

When he said he put in a bid to write Batman #666, that tore it for me. He actually proud of the fact that he's alienated readers, and he's rubbing it in their faces. Worse yet, he's got supporters...

Good to hear people share the level of disgust I have for DC and Willingham for this ridiculous "stunt". That's what Batman comics are reduced to now - cheap, poorly-conceived, poorly-written stunts....

Welcome, Electric. Yes, I think it's fair to say if we could all concentrate our disgust in a specific direction at the same time, we could traverse thousands of miles and singe BW's eyebrows off.

Kimberly's letter reminds me of an old South Park episode where a network decided to boost ratings by using the word "shit" on a TV show. And then again, and again, and again . . . It worked. For a...
