No idea WHO This is
No problem. And yeah, it was full of edgyness and campiness mashed together. The Batman Who Keks still baffles me, yet DC pushes him and the normies eat him up, so... Eh, who gives a **** anymore. I've practically dropped comics altogether. I'm waiting for a few series to conclude, like Morrison's GL, and I'm done. It's gotten too much for me.Yikes. Thanks for the summary, darthkostis. I only read the main arc, not any of the side stuff. I didn't care for it overall and agree it was silly and complicated. It felt like it was written by a teenage edgelord. I do like some of the art and character designs but don't feel compelled to own any of them in statue form. The story left Bruce Wayne re-evaluating his life and deciding to focus on his own happiness.
Tom King took over, and... Well:I'm intrigued to see where future writers go from there.
Spoiler:I'm still buying the figures though. Some designs are too good. I'm an addict, shoot me...
I saw Iron Man go from "Don't Tread On Me" and "****ing hippies", to "Space Gulags sound fine" and finally to "hey, random black kid who looks suspiously like the writer's adopted daughter; here, have all of my **** ALSO I'M ADOPTED AND MY REAL PARENTS ARE A POP STAR AND A HYDRA AGENT WHILE MY HALF BROTHER IS A GENETICALLY ENGINEERED SPACE ANTICHRIST". I saw Doom go from "Vicious Despot" to "Ayyyy he just trynna doo GOOOOD" to "**** like, cultures and borders and ****, they like, are bad and we need Globalism cause, uh, it'll be good". A few years back there's legitimately an issue where Nick Fury's long-lost half-black son goes back in time to protect Obama from a time-travelling Neo-Nazi... There is NOTHING worth reading in modern Big-2 comics. And honestly, the more I grow up the more I realize that they were never worth anything.Wow. That all sounds ****ing terrible. Nothing like the Batman I've grown up with.
At this point, I can count on my fingers the amount of characters I genuinely like. There was a period that I didn't even know how many capes I consumed. Now I can safely say that I genuinely like very few characters. And due to the nature of Capes, it's only certain versions of those characters that are worth anything, since the very next run could give them an entirely different personality, ethics and whatever else.I got out of comic books quite a while back. I'll continue to buy statues as well. They at least remind me of the characters I love without the new, trash storylines catering to the current social and political climates.
Yeah, I gave up reading Batman, the story the last several months has been horrible... tons of dribble that doesn't even apply to the main story arc, all this crap about Cat and Batman sitting on a beach saying how much they love each other, it's just pure crap... They basically castrated Batman...
Spoiler:
Well, they pulled the Dallas escape pod and it was all a VR training program Batman was using to test himself so the last several issues were all make-believe... I'm guessing the story was so unpopular with fans sales of the comic book nosedived and the only way to fix it was by saying it never happened.

Honestly, I don't even remember that. All I know is that it literally ended with "well, that's all folks", and now Luscius Fox is Batman's new Alfred. I'm tired. I don't even care about keeping up anymore.
