exploited the best of Batman's detective side in comics

*SPOILER*

In Hush and Long Haloween, he deduced the wrong culprit. this is the worst thing a detective could do, especialy when is so called "world's greatest detective"

no contestation? good, I see everybody agrees

I wouldn't exactly say that Synder's "exploited the best of Batman's detective side".

@masterdetective: Well you haven't given much reason why you think they are...all you said was two other stories he wasn't that good of a detective.

I don't understand what you're asking so I don't necessarily agree. I figured you were saying that they actually use his detective side more than most but then your example shows him failing. On a side note: So the guy messed up I'm sure real detectives do as well if evidence points towards a conclusion that is false there's nothing you could do because that's the evidensce you have.

mmm...That means that Batman had only three writers..Loeb,Snyder and O'neil.
Both your stories are written by the same writer.
It would be better if you named the thread Loeb's Batman is a useless detective.

even Sherlock messes up sometimes

batman is not perfect. he can make mistakes. Batgod sucks, batman is better.

@squalleon: really good point. Too big of a sweeping statement to offer such little evidence for.

Snyder is the first Batman writer to almost completely drop the ball on portraying Batman's detective side.

I love Scott Snyder... when he's NOT writing Batman. I loved The Black Mirror, but none of his other work on Batman has been anywhere near the quality of... well, anything else he's written. I know he genuinely does love the character, but he simply isn't adept at writing him. Granted his run isn't a complete failure, but the quality seems to be on an unending trend of decline.

you again, I'll have to quote someone:

"analyzing a corpse isn't investigation? remembering key details of conversations and piecing them together to arrive to an educated conclusion isn't investigation? literally investigating the first crime scene in the series and deducing where the throwing knives came from isn't investigation? interrogating possible witnesses and gathering information key to the investigation isn't investigating? searching the home bases of the talons for clues and evidence isn't investigation? analyzing and performing an autopsy on a skeleton isn't investigation? figuring out where he was in the city by the taste of water thereby finding where the court executes its victims isn't investigation? getting information from mr freeze about the regenerative abilities the talons have isn't investigation? he actually investigated the murder scene where Lincoln tricked the rest of the court into drinking poison. he deduced who Lincoln was, where he was, why he was doing what he was doing and who Lincoln thinks he is all by remembering key details he learned through his investigation. there was plenty of investigation in court of owls and I don't even think I covered it all."

@masterdetective: If you're quoting that, then I'm sure you also saw my reply which addresses those points.

But hey, believe whatever you want.
