Batman Detective Comics

Batman Detective Comics Rebirth. 

Today I wanted to talk about probably the best DC comic out at the moment, which is the Detective Comics. I've read many of the DC Rebirth comics out right now and while Tom King's beginning run for Batman is probably the best Batman comic we've gotten in a while, but recently it's had its ups and downs. The Detective Comics have had such a good story from the beginning which is issue #934 and up to now, James Tynion IV has written the comic superbly. Basically the Detective Comics start off with Batman assembling a team of Batwoman, Spoiler, Clayface, Orphan, and Tim Drake's Robin. There's a mysterious threat that causes Batman to ask Batwoman if she can train the previous characters I just said to prepare for the threat.

The best thing about the Detective Comics is that you get really good backstory for each character and their motivation to want to do good. We get so much story for each character and the threats they face are some of their past demons. Clayface himself has to deal with the fact that if he stays in Clayface form for too long, he will lose his humanity, and he can't maintain human form either. Then there's Cassandra Cain, Orphan, which is my favorite character of the comic, and it goes into her back story of how she was raised by her father who was an assassin, and she thought her mother was killed. In the comic, she has a hard time speaking because her first language was body language, and she can see all the ways she can quickly kill a person, so she has to try harder to just knock then unconscious. 

Also, in the story that's going on right now, my favorite female superhero Zatanna shows up to help the team out a bit and it's pretty cool. We even got Batwing and Azrael in the present storyline, so we get their backstory as well. All in all, yes, we have Batman as the commander for this group, but it's about each character on the team and James Tynion IV isn't afraid to thoroughly write each character out, but in an intriguing way. If you want to get into the Detective Comics, they have three volumes out if you want to start from the beginning, but really you can jump in at any point, the writing and story are superb. As always thank you for taking time out of your day to read this topic I discussed.

Why I Think Ben Affleck Is The Best Batman. As we all know, there have been many incarnations of the hero called "Batman". There are some that people really enjoy, but others that people cannot stand. I want to discuss the incarnation that I love the most and has the potential to be the greatest of all time. All previous actors who played the roll of "Batman" have done very good in my opinion and have shown different sides of the caped crusader. Christian Bales performance of the dark knight is always argued as the best "Batman" we've ever gotten. Though, I'd like to disagree, now before you guys start threatening me and stuff, let me explain why. Christian Bale is a top notch actor and did a solid job as "Batman" in the Dark Knight trilogy. Though is he the best Batman? Does he embody all the characteristics of "The Batman"? I personally don't think he does Now shall we get on to why I think Ben Affleck is the best &qu

Justice League First Reactions

Justice League First Reactions Hit Twitter. So yesterday evening, few critics were allowed to share their quick reactions to Justice League on Twitter. I won't go thoroughly through each one, but the overall feel we get from the tweets. So overall, all tweets are luke warm to positive, the two common negatives that are addressed by most reactions is a thin story and weak villian. Then of course some of the positives are each member of the team, their dynamic together, and the lighter tone. Then, each critic says either this is a big or small step in the right direction which is positive in my opinion. Whether or not the step is huge or small, the fact is so far the movie isn't divisive at all. They got the most important thing to do in a superhero movie done and that's make the characters intriguing. Have us by the end of the film want to see more of each of the characters and want to see them together again. If this film continues to get positive reviews, then that w

My Thoughts On The Defenders

My Thoughts On The Defenders Season 1. So today I finished up watching The Defenders and sad to say, I thought it was just decent. Don't get me wrong, it's still better than the second half of "Luke Cage" and definitely better than "Iron Fist", but even with only eight episodes, it dragged on sometimes. They have four characters with so much backstory and potential but I feel like they touched on the same subjects so many times without adding something new. The first episode was good because it gives the viewer an understanding of each character, their motives, and how they view the world. Then, for some reason, we get a lot of dialogue about the same motives and throughout the first couple of episodes, they interweave all the side characters. Another thing that kind of bothered me was the action, not that it wasn't good but that it was most of the time dark. You can see that all the stunt men and actual actors are trying their best with the stunts
