>>99873433>His original stories were fun too, even if some elements are kinda silly now (the fucking raccoon).Yeah I'm definitely not implying Black Mask was a greatly written character, he was 100% a Doug Moench creation through and through.
But even amidst all the corny shit there was some very entertaining aspects to be found.
I mean, as silly as the raccoon is (and it is really fucking silly), there is an interesting idea there that is Roman's loss of innocence, his first contact with violence and how it defined his mistrust and refusal to interact with the world outside of the layers of protection he tries to set himself, and even how it predated the "Bruce falls in the Batcave" scene by a couple of years.
The character had potential and unfortunately his biggest rise to popularity was only achieved when he was stripped of all personality.
>>99873471Look up the Doug Moench Black Mask stories
>>99873566He was in some of the comics if I recall.
