I guess Batman is over

[Cyrano200]

I dont follow the comics,. but I saw this on my Youtube feed. I guess it's over after like 90 years. Batman died along with Joker and Catwoman in the comics.'

Kind of a shitty way to end an icon.

I'm a nerd and I frequently re-read comics. I coincidentally read that story just yesterday. It was a good one but highlights one of the things I hate about the Batman stories in particular: the Joker. He's a completely insane murderous psychopath but he has no special abilities. If I'm in the Bat-verse and come in contact with Joker, I'm doing everything in my power to kill him. No warning, no mercy, as if my life and the lives of everyone I love depends on it. Because they do. If there was ever an excuse to shoot first and ask questions later, he's all of them. And that's before you consider other bad guys, if I was a super-baddie, or even a henchman with a gun, I'd take him out too. Cuz he's going to do it to you first chance he gets.

Anyway, Batman doesn't die.

No part of that video showed Batman definitively dying lol. The church came down due to an explosion, he could've done a variety of things to survive. It's comics.

They should. They deserve a dignified end, not to be dragged forever into zombiehood slave to whatever cultural mores exist at a certain point in time.

No, it makes no sense to end him. The character must make them a fortune, last 10 years or so feels like everyone is obsessed with batman.

Arnold

There are some names that will outlive all of our kids kids kids

If I were a writer and my job was to end Batman, I'd have the joker dying of cancer, and he's upset that he's going to die in such a pedestrian way. So he decides to go out in a spectacular fashion and take Batman with him.

Batman will not die until capitalism dies (or people stop buying his stuff)

I’d have a dying joker kill all the other villains so he’s the last one left!

Traditional superhero comics are so strange to me. I understand why my 8-12yr old self was into them but maaaaan, as an adult idk dude. I love lots of Shōnen manga, but even those seem more mature and nuanced oftentimes than any Batman, Superman, spider man, etc.

The best time to stop reading Batman was 25 ur ago, but the second best time is right now baby

The 12 year old me thought manga was dumb the 40 year old me still thinks that way but idk dude I don’t think liking it is strange.

There was a major cross-over event were this happens. He goes on a major rampage looking to go out in a blaze of glory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Laugh_(comics)

I’d have a dying joker kill all the other villains so he’s the last one left

He uses his gas to "jokerize" a bunch of other villains who then also go on rampages.
Spoiler

Spoiler: Climactic moment

My favorite bit is when Nightwing (Dick Grayson, the original Robin for you non-nerds) beats him to death in a church for all the heinous shit he's just done.

Spoiler: Anti-climatic moment

My least favorite moment is when the other Bat-people revive him.

Which is why i said he should be let go in dignity, not made into a whore for corporate cash.

I understand your point but you're objectively wrong. Ending batman stories/comics would be a terrible idea.

Objectively wrong only if it's entirely subjugated to the profit motive. I don't find that to be even a tiny bit meaningful.

You said they should end Batman. They absolutely shouldn't, that's a terrible idea.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

Actually it's a great idea.

I figured you'd conceid your point, and im not even much of a Batman fan. But when I'm right, I'm right

"conceid" is not a word.

"conceid" is not a word.

Thanks! I meant concede, which you did.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

Thanks! I meant concede, which you did.

You have a reading comprehension problem if you think i did.
So I will state it again - ending Batman would be a great idea.
