Date: 2011-10-27 07:48 am (UTC)I guess DC just wanted the full set in the Batman books, what with them already having the Mad Hatter, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, Alice over in Batwoman, the Carpenter, the Walrus, the Lion and the Unicorn, and the other members of the Wonderland Gang.

Date: 2011-10-27 08:00 am (UTC)An arc where all the villains get roided up, this is it, this is what I have been waiting my entire life to see without ever consciously realizing. Joker quoting Red Mist quoting Joker, everything coming full circle. Tears of disbelieving ecstasy are slowly sliding down my cheeks as I type this; I didn't think anything could possibly live up to "One-Face" and yet, here we are.

Date: 2011-10-27 08:26 am (UTC)I suspect that he's doing some kind of variation of Never Fear's no-fear formula with either Venom, Titan, or Hugo Strange's Monster Men serum, isn't he? Well, considering that Hugo used fear toxin first, it'd only be fitting for Squishy to rip Hugo off a second time! I doubt that's exactly what happened, but if it were, then that'd pretty darn interesting, actually.
As it is... yyyyyyyyyeah, I think I'll pass. I'm glad to see the classic rogues being active, I really am, but... yeah, no.

Date: 2011-10-27 08:47 am (UTC)It's fun to already see the whole Bat-gang in active duty, on the same plot this early in the reboot.
Though I still find it a bit weird to see the likes of Batwoman and Damian AND Barbara!Batgirl in-story at the same time...
The art's a bit too pin-up-ysh for my taste..specially on a Bat-book...
I wear my sunglasses at night. So I can, so I can...
No, seriously - that's not Two-Face. Two-Face is the guy who took Montoya hostage and then found himself guilty (seriously, Two-Face finding himself guilty has to be one the few crowning moments of awesome for the character).
Also, I'm pretty certain that the Ventriloquist is just using the corpse until he gets Scarface back. He's obsessed with that thing. But more importantly... yay! The real Ventriloquist is back (Harley now that he's back will you put on your old costume? I liked it better, the new one's not nearly as attractive/hawt).
Question: who is that says "Methinks a palpable and bloody hit?" I don't remember him.
Question: is Black Canary being hit when she says "You got a better one?" Or did the artist just decide to contort her into that ridiculous position to show off her boobs?
I'd complain about the whole cheesecake with White Rabbit, but that's pretty tame in comparison to some of the other DCnU stuff.
I might like DCnU Damien
Date: 2011-10-27 09:31 am (UTC)Eventually his crush on Supergirl and his budding friendship with Stephanie warmed me to him but I never really considered him a Robin. To me Stephanie Brown was more of a Robin than Damien and she only wore the costume for - I think it was - a month.
It's Damien's "this going to suck face" and his realization they need backup that makes me hopeful. Damien is a cocksure brat (or rather was) who considers himself better than everyone else. Batman may come off as this but Bruce really just doesn't want anyone getting hurt and so he tries to prevent people from helping so he doesn't have to worry about them.

Date: 2011-10-27 09:46 am (UTC)I must say this about Dick's red costume. Its growing on me.... everywhere that it appears BUT in the Nightwing book. The art for Dick in the cameo of this book I love, the bits that he has been in Snyder's Batman I've adored but I cannot make myself like the way Dick is drawn in his solo series. Its sad. Eddy Barrows does brilliant art for the rest of the book. His buildings, scenery and use of light and shadow are beautiful but his version of Dick Grayson is just too old for the reboot and it ruins the book for me.

Date: 2011-10-27 11:52 am (UTC)Squee! Sorry but I really loved all those black comic book character runs from DC's diversity push in the 90's and I can't tell you how joyful I feel that someone actual remembered this character and is using her!

Date: 2011-10-27 12:31 pm (UTC)Also Joker with a new henchgirl? Harley Quinn won't approve of this!
Look Batgirl, I cut myself! Hah heh eh heh, because you're dead
'Oh Brother' indeed. DC you're trying too hard to be 'edgy' (pun intended).
*facepalm*

Date: 2011-10-27 01:20 pm (UTC)I'm sorry. I feel like I should be reading some kind of sarcasm in your post; because honestly I cannot see anything positive in this new rendition.

Date: 2011-10-27 01:29 pm (UTC)Agreed. As much as I've always been a huge fan of the Bat, does he seriously need four books where he's the main character? A lot of these stories could easily be told as later story arcs in Batman or Detective Comics as you said. :/
Re: I might like DCnU Damien
Date: 2011-10-27 02:13 pm (UTC)I mean, whether you like him or not, at least try to write his name right. I have a name than can easily be written wrong. One of my primary school teacher insisted on writing it wrong even after I corrected her. I don't know if she thought her idea of my name was better than the original or else, but that leaves a foul taste in my mouth every time I see people writing someone's name wrong.
Re: I might like DCnU Damien
Date: 2011-10-27 02:23 pm (UTC)However, only a handful of the people I've ever met can pronounce the fucking thing without my help and/or asking how to say it. Those that try either a - astonishingly get it right (this is rare, like 30% rare) or b - pronounce it as 'Karen' or something along those lines, or, in one case, 'Sharon'. I found the last one kind of insulting when it happened.

Date: 2011-10-27 02:30 pm (UTC)I understand that their attitude might be 'let Finch do whatever the fuck he wants' in order to keep him about as an artist, but honestly, he's not THAT good an artist to warrant his own Batman book , especially not an ongoing when there are much better people who could be making one, and when it takes up a space that other characters - Spoiler and Blackbat? Red Robin? - could be using.

Date: 2011-10-27 02:59 pm (UTC)Would it be going too far to say *most* of the baddies in this book feel like complete jokes of their actual selves? Cause they're certainly coming off that way.

Date: 2011-10-28 02:24 am (UTC)I'm not reading any main Bat books besides Batman and not too impressed with these pages besides giggling over Damian's 'oh, shit face'. Any of them good? I gave B&R a try and didn't like it...

Date: 2011-10-28 08:18 am (UTC)It's unclear, yet, whether Crane is actually involved in it, but I'm guessing not - it'd be a strange change of MO (as the drug eliminates fear, rather than creating it) from an in-story standpoint, and they found the connection far too early from an out-of-story standpoint.

Date: 2011-10-28 08:33 am (UTC)This is the first one to settle in the Home of Wonderland References, Gotham City*, though.
I'd thought she'd appeared before, but checking that was the March Hare (who was in the Tweedles' Wonderland Gang, along with a mind-controlled Mad Hatter).
* We have in the order they happen to come to me, the Mad Hatter, the Tweedles, the March Hare, Alice, the Walrus and the Carpenter, the Lion and the Unicorn, and now the White Rabbit. (Walrus, Carpenter, Lion and Unicorn were created for the same story...only Carpenter stuck around.)
