Batman #12: "I Am Suicide, Part Four"

[superboyprime]

"When I was a kid, especially in junior high, when I was 10, 11 years old, which was the same age as when Batman’s parents died, I was really depressed. I had a real cloud over me. Suicide was a thing. It was on my mind. It seemed like an answer to things. And in all honesty, it wasn’t friends that brought me out of that. I was a fat nerd. I didn’t have a lot of friends. It was comic books. The fact that there were heroes in the world was very important to me..." - Tom King

I love the smart guys in the mass of Bane's men who're pointing their automatic weapons into a crowd that's all-but-one their fellows.

Good job, guys. Good job.

I really hope this ends with finding out what Selina actually did. also finding out Selina has actually been helping him this whole time.

Look, everyone! Becoming Batman was Bruce Wayne's self-inflicted punishment for the death of the Waynes. AGAIN!

All right, maybe that isn't what Tom King is going for here, but it certainly seems like it.

This gorgeous art is wasted on this storyline and writer.

Gettin' all Frank Miller in that monologue, there.

... well, okay, it's not quite at Miller levels yet.
But getting there.

That bit where he was saying "You're me. You're like me. You're dead" strayed dangerously close to Frankie's pointless repetition.
