scans_daily“When we first teamed for Daredevil, DC called us. This was years ago. They offered me and Alex to leave Marvel and come do Batman. We looked at each other and were like, ‘ahh they finally called and we can’t come!’ Anyone can relate to this, once in a while you get a call and later you think, ‘I wonder what would have happened if I had done this?’ There was no sliding door, we weren’t going to leave Marvel at the time. But we’ve always thought about it. So when I came to DC, I had to call Alex. He said, ‘I want Batman! I’ve waited so many god damn years!’ If you put a piece of paper in front of Alex, he’ll draw Batman. That’s his go-to. So there was a lot of context when DC offered us to do a story in Detective Comics #1000. I was like oh yeah, this will scratch that itch beautifully for me and Alex.” -- Brian Michael Bendis

Date: 2019-02-16 10:51 pm (UTC)He says "if I miss and destroy Bruce Wayne and not Batman" and then continues to ramble about Batman's tether to humanity. Like, what? You blow up Bruce successfully = you blow up Batman. Successfully. Done and done. What metaphorical nonsense is Penguin talking about?

Date: 2019-02-16 11:54 pm (UTC)If he misses, as he has done in the past but exposes Batman's ID, then he's got a pissed off Batman to deal with. A Batman without the distractions of a secret ID and a grudge, all pointed at him.
So yeah, I can see how the thought would scare Penguin.

Date: 2019-02-17 12:34 am (UTC)Penguin's plan was to blow up Wayne Manor with Bruce and everyone important from Gotham, everything that Bruce represents.
If he succeeds in blowing it up but Bruce survives (as he himself states)... all that's left is Batman without any tether to his life as Bruce Wayne with nothing to lose. And Penguin is fucked.

Date: 2019-02-17 12:57 am (UTC)If someone as unstable as Bruce loses Alfred and most if not all of his family he’s probably not going to recreate his life as a playboy. That’s what Penguin is worried about. When Aunt May was shot Peter went full-on Punisher mode. It would be even worse with Batman.
“If it sooo tires you to speak with me as a normal person would, and not in this condescending tone, you should better stop.”
You’ve been condescending and passive aggressive from the getgo to everyone here?

What? I never said anything about anyone, I said that I don't get the story. It's not I who's been "sighing" here.

And as a result no one will be able to post any more from the issue when it comes out, which seems a shame when the preview is posted elsewhere on line.
