>>95785315>Joker actually being funny for once in his goddamn lifeHis Joker was entertaining enough, sure, but I don't know why you need to act like King is the first person to ever write Joker well. Try not to be such a retard.
>Riddler being competent and not a joke villain like he is 90% of the time (even in Zero year he was terrible)A competent Riddler? No, he was something else entirely. More akin to an extremely charismatic bare-knuckle-brawling ganglord...he's such a farcry from "Riddler" it's almost unbelievable.
>Fun use of villains King hasn't been utilizing in his run so farDid we read the same story? Having villains like Two-Face, Freeze, Poison Ivy, etc. mindlessly towing in line like literal lackeys for Riddler and Joker isn't exactly what I'd call a good use of the characters. Not to mention most of them didn't even get so much as a panel to themselves and their presence amounted to nothing.
>Kite Man's story was awesome and fuck anyone who didn't like itIt was overwrought heartstring manipulation that shot down any idea that King tried to put forth about Bruce being a hero of any kind. It wasted two issues on a one-off meme character meanwhile the entire big event of the "War" was relegated to background noise.
>Joker stopping Batman from murdering Riddler and laughing at the absurdity of the entire situation is a 10/10 Joker momentIt's pretty good Joker stuff. It makes sense and I won't deride King for it.
But nothing you listed makes up for all the garbage that's so omnipresent throughout this entire waste of a Poser-traced arc.
