No Mutants Allowed

That New 52 thing was not that bad really. At least they tried something different. The entire comic continuity is shit anyway and canon makes me want to eject myself from one.

EHHHHH the Anarky New 52 storyline RUINED the character by destroying the whole point of him.

Court of Owls was near perfect though, I’ll admit.

Who?

Yeah Court of Owls was good. It would not have happened in the old shitty timeline I bet.

It was basically the Gotham City version of X-Men’s Hellfire Club, really cool concept. A nice break from Ras Al Ghul being the only “old” villain

OH YOU MEAN ANARKY

Obscure villain from the old 80s comics, basically a teenager named Lonnie Machin decides Gotham has gone to Hell, and attacks the institutions that let it do so rather than disenfranchised criminals.

Traditionally his stories deconstruct the very idea of vigilantism, particularly where Batman is concerned, and whether it truly is “social fascism”. He also fought the Scarecrow and even made a cameo in an Arkham Origins side plot.

New 52 made him mind control people to get revenge on Mad Hatter. Stupid

Yeah but I bet the character is so niche they just wanted to do something different. Kinda like how Vigilante in Peacemaker is nothing like Vigilante except he is awesome now.

Fair enough, but it was a disappointing downgrade to go from “philosophical ruminations on vigilante justice” to “Mad Hatter molested my sister so mind control”

Did you watch The Batman?

I haven’t yet, my girlfriend wants to see it with me sometime. I heard it did the Riddler justice, which… props, after Batman Forever lmao.

Did you?

I watched a shitty cam. It is badass and Riddler was actually a threat. I did not like the teaser at the end but that does not bring down the movie.
