Spoken like a Batman Extremist.

Seems to me like the most typical type of fan on this board are the arrogant, presumptuous fans who make comments like this.

Everyone has comicbook writers and artists who they enjoyed bu are no longer involved with the characters we loved to see them write.

Who are some Batman writers everyone misses?

For me, Greg Rucka is definitely up there.

I just read Batman 18. I thought it was pretty good. Nice to see batman from someone else's eyes. and I like Harper's personality. I actually wouldnt mind if they made her a part of the Batfamily someday.

I think its about time a topic be dedicated to Snyder. People are constantly discussing him on other threads so might as well dedicate one solely to him.

Snyder is pretty hit or miss for most people. When the New 52 started everyone seemed to like him. But recently it seems like its 'cool' to hate him now.

I think he's a pretty great writer still. People are always saying he rips off other writers but I honestly dont see it. He has a unique style. And it reads more to me that he respects elements created by other writers than it does that he "rips them off".

everyone has probably either read batman, inc 8 by now or at least knows what happened.

Damian dying has left a lot of people, especially on CV, calling for some major changes to bruce's character.

people are calling for Bruce to break his no killing code, for him to never take on a new partner, for him to disband the family indefinitely etc.

theres obviously a lot of varying opinions on these issues. but i just want to throw in my two cent.

before anything happens: we should all note that it will anything that occurs will have a very lasting impace.

take Batman breaking his killing rule for example. for over 60 years Batman has remained true to his rule. despite any circumstances he has not broken the rule in-continuity. if he does so now, it is irreversible. i'm not taking about irreversable that it cant be retconned or anything like that. what i mean is that all of the stories in the past which have truly pushed bruce to the limit but shown him staying strong and never killing will be more or less invalidated. take the Killing Joker for example. one of the most well known stories in existence. Bruce's refusal to kill the Joker and commissioner Gordon's telling him not to do so speak volumes about bruce's character and what he means as a hero.

so everyone who calls for bruce to start killing should really consider one thing before proceeding with their arguments: so many times in the past, bruce has remained true to his guns and never crossed the line. if he did so now it would feel like a sign of weakness rather than a rational thing to do.

not a big fan of Morrison's writing but I do like Damian.

hoping that Morrison doesnt kill him off. or that if he does they bring him back somehow.

he may be Morrison's character but he's still a pretty big part of the bat-family and it feels too soon to kill him off. hes only been robin for a few years.

Captain Marvel. A movie would hopefully push the horrible New 52 version of the character out of my mind forever...

i just read Suicide Squad 14 and it got me thinking about Joker and Harley

is there a way to make them work as a couple?

id like to see that but it seems like its never going to work out

i want a new Gotham City Sirens series. the last one wasn't perfect but it had some moments and a good concept
