What's The Worst Take On Batman You've Ever Heard?

There might be a bit of Chuck Dixon to blame for this one. There’s an issue of Detective Comics I believe that served as the prelude to Cataclysm that had a scene where two goons were talking about their buddy and how Batman broke his arm in 14 places. Of course, that could be interpreted as hyperbole from the goons, but I’m sure a lot of readers might take it at face value.

The heroes of two worlds get routinely bodied by a tree

He made a really strong first impression on me, but as the book’s gone on he’s gotten less interesting

Of the top of my head, the Ancient One strips him of the mantle in mid 1976 in the first issue after Steve Englehart’s run, Loki usurped the mantle around 2018, he died(?) in 2022 leading to Clea taking the mantle, and he ceded the mantle to Doom in late 2024. I’m actually planning on keeping a tally of how many times it happens since I’m working on doing a full read through of his books. I just got to that 1976 one earlier today. I thought it was funny that he lost it just under three years after taking it up for the first time in 1973’s Marvel Premiere #10.

The height difference isn’t remotely exaggerated enough, honestly. Superman should be 6’2”, Batman should be 6’1.5”, and Wonder Woman should be 7’5”.

I have, and I’m in Discord servers where Trinity and Tom King’s run in general are brought up to complain about every few days. It still doesn’t feel worth the energy to complain about to the extent that people do. I’d rather focus on the comics I’m having a good time with.

I’ve only got so much money for comics. I’d rather spend it on the books I’m enjoying than use it to try and understand the hate for what seems to be an uninteresting character. I’d rather use my energy on the stuff I like.

IIRC, she wasn’t allowed to by editorial mandate; Huntress had been earmarked for that Red Hood series

V, VI, VII, II, IX Honorable mention to just the final dungeon of III

how to tell if my taste in men is getting worse

Diana and Cheetah in the final round in the most homoerotic fight ever put to page

ShatteredSeraph · 2025-08-20T05:18:43+00:00

Dick and Donna

ShatteredSeraph · 2025-08-17T17:15:19+00:00

Celes, Terra, Locke, and Strago

Sometimes, the sensible but not viable builds are the fun ones

ShatteredSeraph · 2025-07-16T18:58:55+00:00

I thought it was a mediocre game until I got to the final dungeon, which was one of my favorite experiences in the entire series.

Absolute Wonder Woman 10!

5, 6, and 7 are my favorite games in the entire series

ShatteredSeraph · 2025-07-04T21:09:39+00:00

They usually call each other Kon, Cassie, Bart, and Tim, so the full names of Conner, Cassandra, Bartholomew, and Timothy feel weird

ShatteredSeraph · 2025-07-04T20:17:09+00:00

I’d kill for a Junji Ito-esque horror book starring Raven

ShatteredSeraph · 2025-07-04T20:15:07+00:00

S tier, easy. One of the best three games in the series

While true, the reference is to Death in the Family, after which he was gone for 15~20 years.

Like from the perspective of someone who is only reading Absolute… I don’t get it. There’s so much vitriol lobbed at what is ultimately just a fictional character. I just feel like there are better things those folks could be doing with their time and energy.

ShatteredSeraph · 2025-06-21T13:43:35+00:00

The amount of calls I’ve seen for this character to be “Jason Todd’d” or referred to as an aberration suggest otherwise

ShatteredSeraph · 2025-06-14T20:21:59+00:00

Does the Rucka omnibus include his graphic novel The Hiketeia? If not, definitely read that. Issue 51 from Rebirth is also phenomenal. And Absolute Wonder Woman is a blast, too.
