>>92663417Seems to me I've said that it's a common piece of his run. And I'm sure it's deliberate.
But it's done nothing but take away from otherwise quite fun and yet still interesting stories. Batman shooting out of his car and landing on a plane to steer it is fun.
Batman healing his back in an issue is absurd and just ruins any stakes. As with hanging the robins to just put them in chambers. (and telling superman to sit tight. wasting his time as if he doesn't have shit to do and a family and couldn't deal with Bane in literally a few minutes total). Or him getting his throat slit and, meh, whatever, Batman.
There's fun dumb and then there's full retard. Like headbutting bane to end an arc. I like kings more than Snyder's run but in all honesty it's sliding closer. I liked the Button. 23 was pretty good. And the Tim Sale covers have kept me pulling two every issue so... there's that.
I just can't imagine going to buy the trade when I know the immensely stupid shit that ends up happening to end both bane arcs so far. IAG had a bunch of fun dumb but by the time they got to santa prisca it was ready to go autist. In a way that effected the plots and payoffs where as IAG had a relatively strong ending. compared to the other two, at least.
