Seriously the statements made that this arc would "forever change the Bat family" were such bullshit.

We are supposed to what all of a sudden assume that the Bat family is mad for X reason not stated above because Batman let the Joker know their secret identities or who knows what?? Seriously I don't even understand why they are mad.

We need Rocksteady to make a bad ass Batman game.

Think Hush or Long Halloween with tons of insane cameos. Let's get a Green Lantern appearance and a Superman appearance in there. Make it something crazy where the last boss is Darkseid.

Would be CRAZY.

Well for me anyways.

So by the way what happened to Two-Face and Penguin?

NOTHING!!!!!!!

ARHGHHGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG

So many setups that could have been amazing but failed.

Arkam city was over before it began. The "dinner" was complete crap. What's under the platter was literally a waste of 5 pages.

AAAA THE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!!!!

The only reason people are going nuts over Snyder Batman honestly has nothing to do with Snyder I am assuming. Capullo draws a bad-ass Batman. Look at issue 2 of Batman zipping around on his motorcycle beating the crap out of everyone. The amazing artwork is pretty much the only selling point left.

And hmmm... I think DC knows it just look at Snyder's next book: Snyder and Jim Lee.

Death of the Family was disappointing and the next arc with Harper Row is going to blow because surprise suprise Damian is going to get whacked in Batman Inc. 8 and Harper Row is going to be the next Robin.

:,(

Yeah the whole faces ripped off thing was awesome I fell asleep last night wondering how the heck Snyder was going to roll the ball with that.

OH NO! It was a joke. Blah.

And the Joker jumping off the cliff was so predictable. Batman should have whacked the shit out of him and left him for dead in the cave and not said anything to the family. Much better ending.

Alright lets get an actual discussion of 17 going. Most people have read a scanned copy online already and hopefully you will all still buy it. What is everyone's reaction? I read last night upnto the faces being served on the platter then my ipad battery ran out. I hardly slept. Read the ending this morning and it was exactly what I expected. Would have been so much better if Batman had whacked the shit out of th Joker with that crowbar.

Was pretty good not amazing. Ending was f*cking predictable.

@Reignmaker: I don't believe that's official, yet. It's been implied in solicits, yes, but the way they worded it doesn't necessarily mean it's Damian that dies.

Yup, not official. 99% sure it's happening though.

Damian is on the cover of Nightwing 17 which happens after DOTF.
