Red Hood and the Outlaws #7

[superfangirl1]

Jason visits the batcave while Bruce is gone and has a heart to heart with Alfred.

Alfred conversation with Jason is heartwarming. Jason retrieves a shard of Kryptonite and takes Bizarro out to a secluded spot by a lake.

At first i thought the idea of a dark trinity was pretty stupid and didnt fit Jason at all. Still kinda do think the idea is stupid.

But this is good.

[lamashtar]

Maybe because the 'trinity' of superfriends doesn't really work to begin with. And certainly none of these characters are particularly iconic, at any rate.

[thehood]

If it's good, then it's not stupid.

It's certainly working.

[beyondthefringe]

I have never liked Bizarro.
This is still very nice.

[reveen]

Okay, okay. I'm completely confused.

Is Bizarro still doing the opposite thing that's always been a part of his character? Because if he is he's really saying that he was perfect and Jason's been fucking up his Bizarro-ness? And that he hates this world?

[speedingtortoise]

I don't think he is . . . but I could be wrong

[captainbellman]

I was about to say, that would be one hell of a twist. Had my suspicions from that first line about him knowing Croc was a robot.

[stacyhd]

I don't think that's the case with this iteration of Bizarro. He doesn't seem to be doing the Opposite shtick, it seems more like he's simple-minded.

[janegray]

I was wondering the same thing. Shouldn't "Bizarro not hate world" mean "I do hate the world"?

[thehood]

If this was the Pre -52 Bizarro, maybe.

[thehood]

You're thinking of a completely different Bizarro.

During Forever Evil, Lex Luthor was forced to rush his secret Supernan cloning project to combat the Crime Synndicate, known as B-0. The clone sacrificed himself to stop them, and Lex Luthor grew so attached to him that he ordered another one be made with the original's imperfections.

The other Bizarro comes from an alternate universe, and I think he went through his own 'Doomed' story arc and would later star in a comedy mini-series with Jimmy Olson.

Of Mice and Bizarros

[lamashtar]

Excellent reference!

[janegray]

I'm not sure I buy Artemis (even reboot!Artemis) saying "I'm not arrogant enough to believe my life is more important than any creature's." And Bizarro's dialogue is confusing (the "Bizarro knew" panel seems to imply that he didn't know, since he looks ashamed and Jason looks troubled. But then he goes "me not hate world" and "Bizarro am not perfect").

Nevertheless, I overall like this, and I'm interested in seeing more.

[thehood]

Why not?

Also, the sure was sarcastic. In spite of how this Bizarro speaks, he's not dumb. At least compared to previous Bizarros.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Who are "Red Him" and "Red Her"?

[caivu]

Jason and Artemis.

[capnduckman]

Tell bizarro about the bunnies, red him.

The original 'Red Hood and the Outlaws' (before James Tynion IV took over writing duties, at least) was a guilty pleasure of mine, and, while I acknowledge that wasn't perfect, I still had a lot of fun reading the book, mostly in the same way I liked the first and third Transformers movies.

However, if New 52 Red Hood and the Outlaws was Transformers (2007), then this is more akin to Transformers: Prime - well-written and genuinely enjoyable, for the most part.
