One year after defeating The Joker, Harley is still hunting serial killers—just not in the city she used to protect. She burned her association with the GCPD and Lt. Jim Gordon and now works with vigilantes to seek a very different kind of justice.
But when Gotham headlines about a new series of grisly crime scenes lead to speculation that her nemesis is somehow escaping Arkham to continue his murder spree, she feels compelled to return. Jonathan Crane, former classmate and current head of Arkham Asylum, assures her that The Joker is securely locked in his cell…yet the women of Gotham are still being stalked by a killer who is using their corpses to make art.
Unwilling to return to the police precinct and its regulations, Harley forms an alliance with some unlikely conspirators, and these women work to save the people of Gotham City. New York Times #1 bestseller Kami Garcia (writer of the Teen Titans series), Mico Suayan (Knight Terrors: Action Comics), and Jason Badower (Wonder Woman ’77) return to the gritty, terrifying version of Gotham they explored in the Bram Stoker Award-nominated Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity to delve into the twisted mind of a killer, his disciple, and the women who will take them down!

>>149446347Are we finally out of Shiva-mek?
>>1494462771. Nostalgia. They grew up with him in the 90s.
2. He’s gay. That gives them more brownie points on social media. And he lets people believe Batman and Robin are gay together.
>>149446248More reason I wan James Gunn’s Damian Wayne movie to happen. Then maybe Tim will finally fuck off.
>>149446765That’s because brombal wasn’t a comic writer until a year ago yet somehow gets big gigs
>>149446621Because he can I guess
That said he's really been stretching himself thin and it shows. He's clearly relying more on poser and other tools to work up a pose to draw over.
His linework gets looser and looser, he relies on a lot of images of characters standing or stiff action.
He draws well, don't get me wrong. As far as drawing pretty people he's solid It's just not really exciting, dynamic comic art anymore.
>>149446357I liked Damian’s old costume better
>>149446813A random Elseworld using a tangent character isn't that big of a gig.

>>149446099 (OP)At this point, the only thing worth reading at DC is the Absolute books.
>>149447016Sorry bro, but this event will also impact the Absolute books since it's only the stepping stone for Absolute Crisis
>>149447039It is like DC wants to kill their golden goose.
>>149446928Because the Tim ongoing DC tried to pawn off people was a terrible homunculus of the Tim they liked. People always try to pull this as a gotcha with comics, and the case is always them making a comic that didn't appeal to the fans at all.
>>149446317Those faces jesus christ
>>149447049Oh please, Gay Tim was everything you wanted. You’ve been posting about it on tumblr for years.The only thing you didn’t get was him banging Conner. And that was only because Tim Taylor already made Jon gay.
>>149446248>Tim Drake pass

>>149446273This run is slower than Taylor. Just bring in a new creative team.

>>149446560>the greatest Green LanternHal finally got his title back. It's been a while.
>>149447234DC Comics needs anyone (that isn’t Jim Lee) to take control of DC and lead them to a specific path. DC has felt aimless for a decade.
>>149447016Yeah, no. The absolute line is pretty overrated and you people will get tired of it eventually.

>>149447234Agreed. He already saved Superman and made Mr Terrific popular. He can help the DC comic line.
>>149446582Wasn't the original notorious for having massive delays despite being originally one of the main launch titles for Black Label
>>149447049this same shit happens with Marvel when it comes to Spider-heroes too. "if Ben or Kaine are so good and popular why don't they have ongoings" because the the editorial are a bunch of faggots, that's why
>>149447356>saved SupermanHold your horses. The movie wasn't a flop, but it's not like it was a major success yet. Don't be quick to give him credits.
>>149446248Why you people act like there's some conspiracy going on here? There is already a Batman & Robin Book with Damian so why not give Tim a chance here?
>>149446099 (OP)I am tired of Scott Snyder and his edgy events
>>149447463Tim shouldn't be Robin anymore, at least make him Red Robin.
>>149447463Because he was already the main focus of the last Batman run.
Tim should be moved to his own ongoing and away from Batman.
>>149447016Absolute Slop is overrated af. Literally post-Ultimatum Ultimate Marvel, but with DC characters.
>>149447505Tim can't handle an ongoing by himself.
Here's my pitch, put him as the mentor/leader of a new Teen Titans team.
>>149446656I'm literally the only one excited for this.
>>149446368We need more Dick and Kara stories.
>>149446373She’s not really in it that much. Janet’s more prominent but even she’s not as much of a love interest as you’d think.
>>149446911Where have you been? Most people love that costume.
>>149447571No. Most people do not.
>>149446621He is the only good artist left in DC.
>>149447583I sure saw a lot of people complaining when it got replaced.
>>149446834Here's hoping we can bully DC into bringing it back somehow.
>>149447552I love their dynamic, I wish they'd get stories in the present too.
>>149447661Pouting Kara is so cute...
>>149447146>Gay Tim was everything you wanted. You’ve been posting about it on tumblr for years.TAnon the people reading Tim in the 90's were not posting on Tumble. You retard. You're a zoomer who can only comprehend reality through the ruins of tumblr and whatever other existing sites.
It's all so meat and potatoes.
>>149447811I would argue that it isn’t and neither is maevel and that’s precisely the problem. But you’re like some faggot ass creator who had their pitch denied and wants to start some fake narrative about things not being subversive enough
>>149447661Unexpectedly great pairing. Kara really shines with the younger gen of heroes, in the Titans range

>>149446248NOBODY CARES ABOUT TIM DRAKE
>>149447661This is fucking hideous
>>149447640>fan art>Damian drawn as brownI’m so sick of seeing this. He’s like 25 percent Arab and Arabs aren’t even notably dark.
>>149447954I don't think that's that brown but whatever.
I just think the costume is cool.
>>149446813Brombal is Lemire's student AFAIK and he built his name by writing half of the SIKTC spin-off comic and co-writing Barbalien which got nominated for an Eisner
Batgirl is a far bigger gig than an Elseworld mini on a bi-monthly schedule
>>149446269After what the writer has said, I REALLY hope this shit bombs and gets canceled in like 4 issues.
Is is really that hard to get a writer that actually cares for the characters they're writing?
>>149448009If it's a bomb, I don't think DC would give Jason another chance.
>>149447986You don’t understand the industry if you think a creator driven elseworld - resurrecting a dead imprint - isn’t a massive gig. But also yeah he’s a nobody that doesn’t deserve those gigs.
>>149448063Jason fans are funny like that. They don't simply wait and wish for it to be good, they want it to fail before it even comes out and then they start complaining about why DC doesn't care about Red Hood.
>>149447977He shouldn’t be brown at all. He’s half white, a quarter Chinese and a quarter Arab. None of those ethnicities are dark skinned. Actual Arabs would be offended if they saw Americans drawing them brown skinned.
>>149447954you'd have a heart attack if you read Talia in the 90's then.
>>149448095See, I mostly agree, but I'm also not completely opposed to the idea of Damian drawn with a slight tan, at the very least to differentiate him a bit from the other Bruce clones.
Emphasis on small tho, Damian is still half white like you said, WFA Damian is way too much imo.
>>149448063Maybe that's not such a bad thing.
>>149446128Terry's suit rarely look good on comics because they want to make it more realistic and it really ruins the overall shape which is why it works in the first place, but Dan Mora keeps it simple and always pulls it off so I'm very glad he's the one drawing this book.
>>149448168>>149448211Does DC just not have any quality control?
>>149446248I thought this book was gonna be different, but it's probably the same Zdarsky shit, it even has the same artist. Will we ever have good Batman stories happening in the main book again?
>>149448168So, you want Jason to fridged and forgotten? And what's exactly bad about that? DC barely has a continuity and Jason's last decade was just him fighting and getting along with Batman all over again.
>>149446359Best book happening right now by a good mile and it's ending, life sucks.
>>149448211This will be so bad it will be funny to see it get canceled in 6.
So any news about Mia “Maps” Mizoguchi?
>>149446347That looks promising
>>149446359Any chance we’ll see any of Clayface’s daughters?
>>149446372>The Child of FireHaven’t read the previous issues, but any chance that Olive Silverlock would make an appearance?
>>149446656Holy fucking shit, I’m so happy right now… and perhaps they’ll perform the absolutely impossible task of making Olive likeable
>>149446497Didn't Trinity already team up with Jason?
>>149446758Jeez, DC needs to stop with all the Snyder wanking, goddammit...
>>149448237I'm being hyperbolic, ideally I would like a good book with a writer that knows about Jason beyond second hand experience.
But if they're just gonna give the character to any rando that doesn't even care about his history, maybe it'd be better if they retired him for a bit.
>>149448077>You don’t understand the industry if you think a creator driven elseworld - resurrecting a dead imprint - isn’t a massive gigSorry but it isn't, no one really cares about Elseworlds these days especially when Black Label is there
The Gotham By Gaslight sequel which was their big launch title got canceled halfway and they had to resolicit the second half as a seperate miniseries, Batman the Barbarian is not out because it's getting completely redone from scratch and Batman: Nightfire is dumping Elseworlds and going straight to Black Label
It's only going to be used for Jobbers vs Vampires and Dark Knights of Steel, that's it
>But also yeah he’s a nobody that doesn’t deserve those gigsAnon, I...
>>149448237No one is fridged in DC anymore, next up is DC Pride.
>>149448227DC specifically doesn't allow someone to work on a book if they like the characters too much.
Not even joking. Gail Simone said it, and I've heard similar from others creators who were at DC. If they know you're a big ___ fan, you won't get ___unless you're a big enough name to sell it.
I guess the idea is they want to make something fresh and new and if they get a fan they'll just reiterate what was done before
>>149448168>advertise your comic as the story that fans of Jason have been waiting for>have not actually read a single Jason comicoh no no no no
>>149446150> Cantwell> ImpulsepointI do not think Waid can save any of this
>>149448320That was specifically DiDio's policy, we know that has changed.
However, that also means they'll probably let you write a character even if you know nothing about them.
>>149447834You okay, little guy?
>>149448320All these years and it hasn't worked out yet.
>>149448063They will, Jason sells a lot of merch. But it will kill the idea of "canon" mature comic books and hopefully, the idea of an edgy, murderous Red Hood
>>149448320Ironically, this approach with Jason has only led to
>>149448237>Jason's last decade was just him fighting and getting along with Batman all over again.
>>149446269Surprised DC would want Gretchen after pulling this stunt off
https://xcancel.com/BadWritingTakes/status/1394103075221254155
>>149448533It will kill the chance of him getting a solo book again. It already took over 2 decades to give him one.
>>149448320Don't believe it. King and Seeley were big fans of Dick and they got him before they became a big names.
>>149446656>Olive Silverlock has a problem, and it is shaped like Gotham’s favorite hero: Batman. He “saved” her when her mom lost control and got Commissioner Gordon to pawn her off on Bruce Wayne, who promptly shuffled her off to Gotham Academy. Boarding school. With a bunch of awful rich kids! As if she wasn’t traumatized enough already!How dreadful! Batman saved my life, then instead of sending me to a foster home I get to attend the richest school in town, all expenses paid by Bruce Wayne! And the kids there are mean! Batman is such a dick!
Though I got to applaud Bruce’s self restraint for not adopting her outright.
>How will Olive navigate her trauma as a new student? Knowing Gotham, by donning a costume and committing crimes
>Who will she share her first kiss with? Anyone who’s read the original series knows it’ll be Kyle… unless Olive cope with trauma by sleeping around
>And…why are the existing fans talking so much about maps?Because she’s the deuteragonist, who’s so fun she might as well be the protagonist? Though she doesn’t attend the school yet, and she can’t be around much since she doesn’t know the layout of the school in the first issue… and I think for a girl nicknamed Maps she wouldn’t have forgotten how to navigate the school’s campus if she’s been there once.
So it most likely means that Maps won’t make much of an appearance (or small amount at best)
>>149448580The editor is also trans.
>>149448580>It has been brought to my attention that after getting into an argument over the appropriateness of underage sex and incest in fiction, Gretchen Felker-Martin knowingly and maliciously sent an incest-CSA survivor multiple gifs of an incestuous couple from GoT.What the actual fuck

People said this was going to be a failure as soon as the artist was announced.
>>149446099 (OP)>Snyder gets to write another event Did they learn nothing?
>>149448200Who is this Robin? Someone put Jason on the DC Fandom wiki. Seems like they pulled that out their ass.
>>149449054It's clearly Jason, look at his hair.
>>149448593Becky sort of tossed Kyle to Steph when she was writing Batgirls, so that might not be the case anymore.nothing solid though
>>149446099 (OP)I just noticed the Deadpool/Batman alternate covers have different character pairings. Is this meant to be a bigger crossover, or are these just bait?
>>149449060>>149449054Isn't that Terry's brother?
>>149449060That means nothing. Dick has had that hairstyle off and on since the 40s. Mora's given it to him before.
>>149448580all this string of posts makes me think is that she probably has the right idea if the puriteens getting mad at her think these are real arguments.
also
>someone was a faggot to me, so i sent them gifs of publicly available broadcast television mediais not the gotcha anyone thinks it is.
>>149448211Fuck. We're really going back to 1989 Helena with this, huh.
Wait till the next reboot, Dick will have to fuck some classic heroism into her. Again. Again again.

>>149449054>>149449060>>149449119It's Jason. Mora confirmed it already.
>>149449217Okay, but was Jason Robin a child? I thought he was about 15.
>>149449088There are a few back up stories in the book as well, Green Arrow/Daredevil by Kevin Smith has already been confirmed
>>149449252That's when he died, he was cute and smol at some point.
>>149449295But that was pre-crisis, after the crisis he was a teenager, he even smoked.
>>149448306You thinking they’re “irrelevant” doesn’t make it so. Normally creators have to have a decades worth of work to get a special project like that where their “vision” is the selling poin rather. This is, particularly, why it sells like spoiled milk.
>>149449318That was from post-crisis...
And Jason was around 9-12 whe he was a Robin.
>>149449081Kyle and Steph? Isn’t she like 25 and him 18 at best? Not calling pedo (that’d be retarded), but I’m surprised at the pairing… not against it. Kinda hot.
>>149449202Ah shit… though I remember in Gotham Academy they said that Batman and Robin (Dick) fought Calamity (Olive’s mother) in the past…
Would this match?
>>149446248This sounds like the setup to a gay porno
>>149446446How has Slott been on Superman? Can't be any worse than Bendis, right?
>>149449642No, I don’t know why you guys think the teen characters age so much, she’s perennially 16-19
>>149449318The Barr/Davis stuff is post-Crisis, but still has some pre-crisis aspects and was before Jason’s new origin was introduced. Still considered post crisis officially though.
And timeline in it is kinda murky but it’s framed as if the new origin was in the past and some time passed to the present. So Jason started around 12 and died at 15
>>149446248>add Batman to my pull list after years and years because I find Fraction fun enough and I figured at worst it'd be his Iron Man run with bats everywhere>2nd issue in it's Tim Faggot hogging the spotlightI don't know why I keep doing this. I haven't read Batman for years, I skipped Snyder's nonsense, but I found Adventureman fun, so I figured how bad could it be. I guess I'm getting my answer...
>>149449947So around the same age? I remember in young justice dick and babs were at the academy together.
If they ever made Gotham Academy animated series, Steph could fit in… romantic rivalry with Olive? Though Damian could be a good fit too, taking the lead role instead of Olive.
>>149448168Deja vu.
>Wait years for a character to return in their own book>When they do, it's written by someone with no knowledge of the character and no desire to learnSeems to be standard operating procedure nowadays. Jason anons...as a PowerGirlbro, my heart goes to you

Regardless, if it fails necessary continuity checks, that's on the editor since it is literally their job to modify content writers produce.

Also, funny how they can call Billy his full Captain Marvel name here.

Still, I'm looking forward to reading this, I always wanted to know more about Olive's backstory.
>>149453171The Science Council and her parents may cause her to descend again
>>149453398Maybe? Hopefully, I was just really hoping Kara would finally have a proper archenemy, bringing back Lesla felt perfect for that, redeeming her just feels like a waste of a perfectly good villain.
>>149453171I would’ve liked to see Lesla as a recurring villain, but they already established her as someone who’s not really that evil, just deeply insecure and reckless. It didn’t come out of nowhere.

Sucks how Absolute is about radically changing the characters, yet we will probably never get a werecat or cat splice Catwoman. Always just a pure human chick wearing a gimp suit with built in fake claws.
